Three years ago, I was seriously considering purchasing a hot tub. I reviewed many brands and did wet testing from Sundance to Caldera to Bullfrog to Artesian. At the time, I selected the Artesian Island Series Grand Cayman but got cold feet due to the expense.
We're back in the market with a lower budget now. I prefer the Artesian dealer in South Houston who also sells Jacuzzi. Considering my budget, it's between the following: Artesian 735L ($6.5K), Jacuzzi 335 ($8K) and the Jacuzzi 235 ($5K). For the Jacuzzi models, both were on the showroom floor when Hurricane Harvey hit in August in Houston; however, -- both models have been repaired and have the full warranty. The dealer turned on both and they were fully operational.
My husband and I are both tall which is the only drawback for the Jacuzzi -- lounge is not as long.
Opinions on the above is appreciated.
Thanks

The Jacuzzi J335 is the best of what you listed but I don't have any idea on pricing. What exactly had to be repaired on the Jacuzzi units after the hurricane?

Hi
They had to replace the ClearRay system and one other item

Man, I would be super nervous about the flooding part of that. The Artesian is a good hot tub for the price. 2 pumps, 35 jets, lots of bells and whistles.

Yes
I agree
Makes me nervous
Will probably go with the South Seas 735l
Just haven’t done a wet test on that one; wet tested the bigger Artesian Grand Bahama elite
