Do a 'search' (above).  Type in bullfrog and have it search for the past year, there are several 'hits'.   don't know if 50 is the max number of responses you can see, try 100.

Bullfrog - Good concepts, unique no leak concept is factual and functional so some technical advantages.  Rumors about ANYTHING regarding inadequate water flow behind jetpacks is a false premise floated by competition. Dealer can be the key as some are competitively priced whereas others are un-realistic.  One of the largest bullfrog dealers is in Atlanta (nice showroom).  They do have online configuration software that allows the buyer to "play with" different options WITHOUT having to be bugged by a salesperson.  All in all, a decent tub.  Do a search on them and you will find more.

There are a few people here that have a Bullfrog, hopefully they will chime in but do a search as suggested.

Sold them at a former company a few years back  they are ok.  If you wet test I advise to do so with 2 other people.

In Canada  owns one hes pretty happy with his

They seem to be pretty good...I wet tested one of the 5-person models (I think it was the 552) while we were spa shopping.  I liked the unique jets and the fact that you could put them in any seat you wanted.  The footwell jets were good and strong too - nice for poor tired feet  :)

However, we ended up getting the Coleman 481 because I was more comfortable in it, and the Coleman dealer was willing to deal.  The Bullfrog dealer in my area was resistant to negotiate on the price of the spa.

   We have a Bullfrog 451 since last May and absolutely love it!  We have had no problems at all with the tub.  As ndabunka said the issue of circulation behind the jetpacks is only kept alive by competing salespeople.  If you have any questions post away, I would be happy to answer as best as I can.

We've had one for a little over a year now and we are very happy with it. We change the water every three months and the area behind the jetpacks stays spotless. The idea about being able to move the seat configuration around is a bit overrated. We set them up initially and haven't moved them since. Just not something I see a lot of people doing often. Anyway, excellent quality, plenty of pump power (we got the 2-5hp pumps) quiet operation, tight temperature control, and not a single leak. We haven't had a single issue in over a year. A bit pricey considering it isn't a "big" name, but I would definitely recommend one to a friend.

My wife is also short about 5'1" and I am 6'1" and the tub fits us both very well
