Buying a hot tub, advice/opinions needed.

Recommended Posts

I finally replaced the bad Trex on my back deck and I am going to buy a hot tub. But there are so many choices! Who has a hot tub or any advice?

I'm wondering:

Is a 220v system really much cheaper to run?

Are some brands a lot better than others?

Any strong opinions about plastic vs, wood?

What do I need to know to make a smart purchase?

Hi chef

Have had a DreamMaker for a little over 9 years.

Four person capacity, 12 jets.

This manufacturer is pretty much plug and go, but we did have it put on a separate circuit breaker.

Highly recommended by the Arthritis Foundation, and never a bit of problem.

We use it quite a lot.

Since you asked for advice.

Had a spa years ago and it was sort of like having an expensive bathtub that you have to spend $$$ to maintain and operate; costs more than I ever used it. Yeah, liked it at first then really hated it.

It took 4 guys and a crane to deliver it and set it up. Five years later it took one guy (me) with a crowbar, sledge hammmer, sawzall and wheelbarrow to take it out in chunks. Now I'm enjoying my potted veggie garden where the spa used to be.

Go for the one that comes with accessory hot chicks in bikinis.

Like you, Lips?
