Bullfrog A8/R8 Owners
Beck0101:
I picked up an A8 just over a year ago. It's been outstanding. If I had to do it over again I may get the 7 only because it's pretty rare that we have more than 2 people in our tub. In fact....I think it's only happened three times? The A8 is pretty big for a two person use case.
I have been exceedingly pleased with energy consumption. In the summer I can't even tell the tub is running (on my electric bill). In winter I think I settled in at about $20-$30 per month in extra cost. Pretty great for a Michigan winter. My tub is fully exposed to the weather where she sits.
Around my area you can nab an A8 with cover, chemicals, step and delivery right around $10k plus tax. If you finance it the price goes up from there.
I'd skip the waterfall jet pack if I got to reorder. It looks cool...but that's about it. And one of the other "hardcore blaster" type packs is pretty loud, even on low, but otherwise I have loved the selection.
I think you can't go wrong with Bullfrog. My two cents only of course.

Just got my A8 this past weekend in Michigan. Prices you described are about spot on for our area as far as purchase price.
We'll see what it does to my electric....have it outside but under a deck and surrounded by a retaining wall so may be a bit more insulated from the weather.
I skipped the waterfall pack.

Only reason I would wet test BF would be if the test got me a 1/2 off coupon.
I don’t routinely test drive Porsche’s either.

I think the OP was specifically asking about BF. There are plenty of other manufacturers out there at different price points but I don't think that was the point of this thread?
Free tubs show up on craigslist every day. If cost is the primary driver look no further than "free, you pick up".

Not everyone has the budget for a premium top-end spa, Nordic (just as 1 example) has spas that sell as low as $3,495-$3,995 for brand new units albeit on the smaller side
