Title: HELP!! MAAX vs. DynastySpa vs. Jacuzzi
Post by: mpdrover on July 28, 2014, 12:38:54 am
First time buyer.  What is the best for me? These three brands are what are sold in my home town from three different dealers.  I'm open to other brands, but would like to stay somewhat local.  So, out of the three which is best?  I will be getting an 8' with lounger, stereo, lights, etc.  The units I'm looking at are the MAAX 481, Dynasty Spa Windward, and not sure about Jacuzzi yet.  This spa will be outside and we have cold winters so efficiency is important.  Also need to stay in the midrange on price.  I'm not looking for the most fancy and expensive.  Just a good quality spa for the money. I'm open to any and all suggestions.  Thanks

My experience with these 3 brands is as follows:

MAAX - I've seen them around for quite a few years. They were one of two MFGs at our State Fair.
Dynasty - I owned one for 8 years.  I stretched that a couple of years till I could afford to replace it, but my strongest memory is of terrible Customer Service throughout the last 5 years of that.
Jacuzzi -  I've seen them around for years, I wet tested a couple and if I was single I probably would have bought one, but the dealer in my town also sells Sundance and the tub we bought was a good compromise between my wife and I.

If you want to stay local, get the Jacuzzi.  Although it may be the priciest.
