Bullfrog X8 Opinions
huskerdude:
Looking at buying a Bullfrog X8. Anyone have any experience with these ? It's about $3,000 less than the Hot Springs Envoy I was looking at. Any input would be appreciated, I can't find any reviews of them online.
Thanks

New(ish) model, not a ton of them "out in the wild" quite yet...heck I don't even have pics of any in the wild yet, but we are delivering one tomorrow afternoon that I will get some pics of...nice big deep spa, utilizes Bullfrogs maintenance free construction, no diverter knobs, 20-30% less plumbing because they utilize a manifold plumbing system...overall a nice big tub with some nice features for the money. I will say though comparing it to an Envoy isn't really an apples to apples comparison but if you don't see "value" in the extras you are paying for on the Envoy than the X8 would be a great alternative...I've attached a picture of the X7 which is the "little brother" to the X8
huskerdude:
Can you explain what extras on the Envoy make it worth $3,000 more than the X8 ? I might think it's worth $3,000 extra if I knew what I would be missing by going with the X8. The Envoy does look more visually appealing, but does the Envoy feel that much better when in it ? I have heard that I need to wet test, but the dealer does not have the X8 or the Envoy setup for wet testing. They only have the Hot Springs Grandee and a Bullfrog A8L setup for wet tests. Is the Envoy more reliable ?

I recently tried an X8 because that was one of our soaking tubs before we sold it. It's a nice big tub for the $$. I will say I own an Envoy as my personal tub. It's not fair whatsoever to compare those two. Price aside, the Envoy is the superior unit.
For better comparisons, you'd look at the A7L or the A8L. Even the R versions would be more comparable.

Besides just saying it is better can you give some specifics? Like the pumps are better or the materials its made with are better, or what? For those in the know im sure you see ABXY and go yeah but for us untrained we really a bone here.
