Most Reliable tubs
The Wizard of Spas:
The 4 you listed tend to have pretty strong reputations in the industry. I would wager that, as a whole, Nordic would be more of the "entry level" brand when compared to Jacuzzi, Sundance, & Caldera (Not that there aren't entry level lines in the 3 latter brands). Not a knock on Nordic at all, but the other 4 you listed tend to be generally considered top 10 brands by most industry people.
Of Caldera/Jacuzzi/Sundance/D1, the best play is to sit in them empty to get a feel for the ergonomics. Then wet test to eliminate tubs that don't mesh well with your body type. Then check in on the dealers and see who's got the best reputation. From there the choice should be much easier to make.

Thanks Wizard,
We found a Bullfrog dealer in the next town that seemed to be on point and had fair pricing. So far the pricing has been about what we expected, maybe a little more, but we haven't gotten down to the nitty gritty details yet either.
Who came up with this wet testing, wow! Nobody wants to see a 60 year old and his wife in a bathing suit, in a showroom on a busy Saturday. Those poor people.:)

The Nordic that we are interested in is the Jubilee LS, what is the price range on that tub with all the accessories.

Steps, cover lift, delivery chem kit you should be somewhere around 6500-7000. Make sure you sit in that one at least dry. Seats can be confined for some people. LS has pretty good power behind it. Sell a lot more Encores then Jubilee.

Definitely wet test before putting thousands into a hot tub that you will keep for 10-15+ years...We tried Nordic and didn't like the rough feel of their tubs. They make them out of a different material and while some people may not mind or may actually prefer, we did not.
