120V Decisions
Tswoosh:
I grew up with a pool and hot tub; looking to make a purchase for myself. Unfortunately, I’m in a house with a 100A breaker box. So my options are probably limited to the plug & play models unless I want to drop a few thousand to upgrade my service. I’ve already got a dedicated 20A circuit in the area I’d put the hot tub as well.
I’d like to seat 4-5 people and keep a reasonable budget (talk me out of the Costco models). In regards to the Costco models, I’m definitely willing to pay for some quality. It will usually be my wife and I, but it would be nice to also have the option of having friends over occasionally.
After a few stops today, I really liked:
-Marquis V65L (only issue is seating)
-Marquis Broadway (solves the seating issue above)
-Jacuzzi J-225
Anything else I should be considering? Talk me out of a Costco hot tub? How does this group feel about EZ pads?

What is the specific seating issue, that's not something to overlook typically.

2 people probably 90%+ of the time. Probably never more than 4.

I would also check out the Limelight Beam by Hot Spring. If you are in a colder climate, pass on the Broadway, insulation is pretty much non-existent.
Pass on anything from Costco. No after sale support and low quality.

I forgot to mention climate; we live in the very mild Pacific Northwest, so I’m not very concerned there.
We’re waiting on ‘emailed’ quotes for the Limelight Beam and a Freeflow option. The Hot Springs salesperson wasn’t very helpful when we went in yesterday, so I’m not surprised I don’t have quotes yet. Regardless, I’d probably pick up from a different dealer just from the experience.
