120V Decisions

<< < (2/4) > >>

Tswoosh:
Just looked at the Sundance Prado and really liked that as well, so it’s in the mix now with the others.

MarKee:
I own an older version of the Marquis Broadway.  Great tub, fits 4 very comfortably. Never had more than 4, but you could probably squeeze 5-6 in it.

Tswoosh:
Are you using the Broadway on 110/120?

MarKee:
I use mine on 110v, works fine. Initial heat up time takes a bit longer when you drain and re-fill, but once it’s up to temp it stays at your desired temperature.  You’ll be happier long term with a Marquis, or Jacuzzi, over the Costco options. The build quality is low on most of the Costco spas and it’s hard to get parts and service down the road.  A quality name brand spa will run more efficient, run quieter, filter better, be easier to maintain, be more reliable, and last a lot longer.  Plus you’ll probably get delivery to your back yard vs curbside delivery, and you’ll get a local dealer for service if you ever need it.  Costco has no service department.  Beware of reviews on Costco’s website because they delete most of the bad ones, so you don’t get the real picture.

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?

how many people are in your house?  My wife and I now live alone, but when it was my daughter home, we still got along ok with a 240volt 50amp hottub and a 100am drop.  We just couldn't be in the tub while running the dryer, microwave and AC unit, but with just the two of us and usually both in the hottub at the same time, we haven't tripped a breaker in years.
