Each of the many brands of hot tubs offer various features. If you don’t have a hot tub retailer near you, you can search online and compare prices. Let’s take a look at some of the leading brands of hot tubs and some criteria you should consider as you search for the ideal one.
If you are looking to purchase the cheapest hot tub available, you will have to opt for the inflatable type, which are generally made out of plastic, vinyl or nylon. Whereas acrylic hot tubs can cost close to $5,000, and in-ground spas even more, you can find an inflatable hot tub for under $1,000. If you desire to haul them places with you, inflatable hot tubs can be quite handy and you don’t have to agonize over difficult installation procedures. Portable models can simply be plugged into a standard wall outlet and they’re ready to work. Because they operate with blowers, as opposed to jets (like the expensive ones), the portable ones don’t have much longevity for hot water preservation.
Many people use Jacuzzi and hot tub interchangeably, but Jacuzzi is actually a specific brand and was one of the original makers of hot tubs. As you shop around for a hot tub, be sure to check out Jacuzzis offerings because they are still considered one of the leaders in their field. Since they’ve been around since 1956, they have plenty of experience designing hot tubs. They offer a wide range of prices such as the J-200 collection that is made for budget conscious people who still want to enjoy the benefits of a home spa. For example, the J-210 is a portable hot tub that is circular in shape.
Home and Garden Spas 6-Person Jet Hot Tub is suitable if you’re looking for a good sized home spa that can seat a number of people at once. 81 jets treat everything from your neck to your feet so you experience a full body massage when you enter into the unit. As mentioned above, the good quality of foam insulation in this model will save energy. Music makes your soothing soak even more luxurious as this model comes with a MP3 player and subwoofer.
Finally, your budget, special features and what material you prefer in a hot tub, all need to be thought of when you think about buying a spa. Another factor to consider is what it will cost to maintain your spa, it is not just the upfront cost. Insulation and energy efficiency is key in consideration. We have seen several examples of spas here so hopefully you can make a more informed choice when you decide to buy one.
