I disagree. Bullfrog's X series are really nice and built really well. They just don't have jetpaks and the warranty is 3 years rather than 5. They use the same molds, pumps, heaters, controls, acrylic, synthetic frame and abs base. The jets they do use are actually pretty good, just not jetpaks. I really like the triple spinner.
In my opinion viking does not come close to Bullfrog, even their x series. It's a hdpe plastic shell like a rotomold. They don't have very many jets and the ones they use are generic with a lot of bullet jets. I also don't like the fact that they advertise the best warranty in the industry but it's prorated to worthless after 2 years.
I have direct experience with both brands and Bullfrog blows away Viking. Not even close.

We're talking about Bullfrog's x series. They are their entry level and do not cost 10 grand. As low as $5700 actually. Also, never said viking was crap. They are fine for the money. I gave honest opinions about a $6k spa with actual facts and details to back it up. Not sure how you interpreted that to mean if you don't spend $10k it's crap. I pride myself on providing honest, objective information after 23 years in the industry.

Sam you have something messed up in your quotes. I think you and I have the same opinion but someone else here thinks BF is as close to sliced bread as you can get, even there value line the X series. Again I think the BF x series and Viking match up oretty good and if you don't want to pay for a name go with Viking.
