Any recent opinions on Bullfrog Spas?
flipflopper:
Greetings, fellow board members. I'm in the market for hot tub and am inclined to go used on either a Sundance or Jacuzzi but the Bullfrogs at the nearest dealer keep drawing my eye - they seem highquality, they are comfortable, and they seem affordable. The dealer sells Sundance, Jacuzzi, Viking and Bullfrog so they seem committed to a range of tubs and Bullfrog would be middle-of-the-road in their line-up.
I value internet reviews on this forum very highly in my decision-making process. The trouble is, there aren't any very recent reviews on Bullfrog spas that I've found. The most recent would be 2013 and that is already going back three years. It seemed like the company had built some buzz and there was a converted faithful that felt the company was really moving forward. But even the latest reviews from 2013 and earlier I've found are not very in depth and only mention Bullfrog in passing. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed that a manufacturer's quality can go up or down greatly in a three-year time span, regardless of product or market.
I'd love to hear from you if you have an informed opinion about Bullfrog spas that you're willing to share. Especially from those who have had their tubs for several or more years.
Edit: I found this more recent review but the thread was taken in a different direction that is rather unhelpful.

I am new to this site and am also looking for advice but, I figured I would share my thoughts because Bullfrog was one of my choices for a little while. I am an engineer in a manufacturing facility so I love getting into the details of a manufactured product. The thing that I didn't like was the way they have there warranty. From everything I have learned the main things to go are the pumps or the pluming it self. They don't even say they guarantee the pluming?
I first liked the idea of the jet packs but the more I thought of it I doubt they could compete with a Marquis or Caldera spa.
I personally like the Caldera & Marquis and I am trying to pick one at the moment.
I hope you get your answers and maybe you will get something out of what I said?

Taken from the warranty section of their website... http://www.bullfrogspas.com/warranty/
5 year Warranty
Equipment
Warranty specifically covers the pump(s), heater, control system (including fuses), SnapCaps™, FilterCap™, other Bullfrog mechanical equipment, and leaks from any component or plumbing fitting located beneath the spa shell.
I've been very pleased with my Bullfrog R7. We use it 4-5 times a week. I've only had the R7 since October 2015, but have had a spa for 15+ years so it's not my first one. We had a minor control panel issue when it was first installed, the dealer took care of that for us promptly. Have had zero other issues.
We also looked at Hot Spring, Sundance, Jacuzzi, Artesian, and Caldera. Chose the Bullfrog for the seating layout, the modular jetpacks allowed us to choose what types of jets we wanted. After dealing with leaks and rot in my last tub, I was a fan of the less plumbing and no wood design, but that was not going to make or break it.

I've been in this industry for 14 years now, I'll save my opinion since of course I am a little biased since I currently sell Bullfrog but I'll just leave a nice 17 minute video here for you guys to watch..it is basically a "brochure in video form" for those who want to learn more about the product without having to go into a showroom. Any questions feel free to ask and I'll give you my best unbiased opinion. This video is also on their website, just posted it for those who may have "skipped over it"
First 3 minutes is "fluff" but the rest is great info. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SjHrqYZSYY

Thanks for the video that was pretty cool! The one thing I see is it is fully encapsulated with foam. Brands like Caldera have a system to be able to get to those possible leaks with out destroying the integrity of the insulation. How does Bullfrog tackle this potential issue?
