Welcome to our forum.
We wet tested the Jacuzzi J-385, Bullfrog R8 and the Hot Springs Pulse, all bench tubs no loungers. Here is our opinion.......We weren't impressed with the Jacuzzi, which shocked the salesman. The headrests just didn't sit where we needed them to. The fact they flip directions didn't matter either. The Hot Springs was a nice tub however filter system just took up too much interior space and it seemed a bit crowded when sitting next to it. We ended up ordering the Bullfrog R7B (didn't need the larger R8) w/ the Bluetooth stereo system. The stereo was 50% off the normal $1,000 price tag so we figured what the heck. We went with the Neck Blaster, Wellness, Deep Relief and Versa jetpaks. They seemed to give you a nice mix of hard and medium pressure jets and then some massage jets as well. I can't wait the 4-6 weeks until it's delivered.
Yay, congrats! What Jetpaks did you pick? I just sat in the A7L with the oscillator cranking on full blast. Soooo awesome. Definitely has the best feel of all hot tub jets, in my opinion.
