Hotsprings Grande vs Bullfrog

(1/2) > >>

navman6:

We made a decision!  We are landing on the Hotsprings Grande spa. Everyone here helped us with insight from many angles.  Thanks to all and have a GREAT day!

OK so I am new here...Yes a newbie. 
In the market for a new hot tub. Previously had a Hot Springs Classic vintage 1995 for 25 years and it was good.
It had double moto jets. It was easy to take care of and the electrical costs were very low. This unit did not have loungers.
This unit had a recirculating pump that heated the water continousley and that was good.

So Hotsprings or Bullfrog tub ...what does anybody see for comparative differences?  We have looked at the HS Grande
and dealer has quoted $14,100. Going to visit the Bullfrog dealer today and see what is up with their features.
Watched some youtube vids which of course is interesting ...but users out there help us out would ya!


Thanks

They are both good tubs. Some like the Bullfrog jet packs, some believe they are gimmicks.

Bullfrog has very long lead times (early 2022) so unless you get one that's unsold in the pipeline for your dealer, you are going to wait much longer than the Hot Springs. However, unless it's on the floor or in the pipeline, you are still looking at 6 months plus for the Hot Springs.

You really need to wet test each tub to make sure that you are comfortable in all seating positions. I know that these days it's difficult to do but it's important.

More importantly, is the dealer. Can they support you after the sale? Are you comfortable with that dealer?

Spatech_tuo:
If you can't wet test stick with a non-lounge spa.

Wet tests are far more important when a lounge is included as it takes up a lot of space and that's where people have the most floating issues. Of course if its only 2 or 3 people using it and you're getting a very large spa then the lounge space is a bit less of an issue if some can't use it but when in doubt, go lounge-less!

A.O.:
Agreed.. I wont buy a lounge tub, takes an extra seat space and turn the jets on and you just float away...

This is incorrect.  Dealers have been given a monthly allotment based upon previous years sales.  I can get a Bullfrog in May if I order today.  Every dealer is different.
