is this common practice?  Seems like for most of you, you were able to wet test the actual tub you bought.  Is that because you wet tested and liked it then purchased it?  Or did the dealers accommodate you and let you try out the model you were interested in? 

I'm close to cancelling my deal...

I'm a dealer....I would say less then 5% of people who buy actually wet test. The majority of the people who buy sit in the tub empty but don't actually wet test. I have 3 220 lines at my store and do my best to accommodate people who wish to wet test. I think this year I've had 5 or so people actually wet test the tub. All 5 bought. I encourage people to do this but for whatever reason most people choose not too. If it came down to making a sale or not a company would be stupid not to fill a tub for you to try

thanks hottubguy....I have called 3 other Jacuzzi dealers in the area and they all said they have a few tubs on the floor to try out but they are all higher-end models in the 3XX series.  I'm hesitant to even try out a 3XX series because 1) I probably can't afford it, 2) the jets aren't even the same on the 2XX series so I feel I would get spoiled and then be disappointed.  2 of the dealers have the J-275 on the floor and are checking on filling it up.  But I've heard from 2 of them that once they fill a tub, they have to sell it as a "floor model" so they take a hit on it so they're hesitant to do it.

So hopefully I'll get to try the J-275 this week.  After researching more, I'm feeling like I'm getting a low-end model because it only has the "classic" jets and not the fancier ones starting on the J-3XX series...anyone have any thoughts on the J-2XX jets?  I don't really need anything fancy, but for all the money, don't want it to feel cheap either.

Ok... Nt really sure if I should reply but what the hell...

We tried the Jacuzzi j355 and my wife couldnt get comfortable at all in it.   Since the moment we got in I could tell she couldn't brace herself comfortably.    The HS envoy was right next to the Jacuzzi so we got in that but the envoy does not have the lounger that I want.   We did like the Envoy better obviously.    Drove over an hour to the next dealer because they had the HS Flair(which we wanted.  I liked, wife would not fit in lounger at all. 

The dealer we tried the Flair out at was maybe 10miles out of our area and it is a shame, I would have bought the HS Flair right then and there, but, and this is what kills me as a consumer, they told me I had to go to anothe rdealer closer to my house!!!!!!!

Sorry, no one tells me where to spend my money, except maybe my wife, lol.

We did not like our local HS or Jacuzzi dealer(same ).   


At that point, started doing even more research and found a dealer I like that sold another brand and concluded this other brand and dealer was a better fit for our needs!
