What's the best Hot Tub under $15k?
I'm planning to buy a Hot Tub and after shopping around a bit it seems like I won't be able to get what I'm looking for under $15k. I want a high performing, therapeutic hot tub that fits at least 5 people comfortably. A lounger would be preferred. I'd like wifi capability, but that seems to be available on most hot tubs. I'm having a hard time figuring out what is salesmanship and what is the truth on the handful of models I've looked at. Everyone tells me theirs is the best, but honestly the top models from the top brands seem to perform about the same. That being said, there's a pretty big price difference between a Hot Spring and Artesian that I think are pretty similar. Is there any truth to the claims that one brand is superior to another, or are they all made the same way? Thanks in advance for any help, it's possible I'm just experiencing a case of analysis paralysis.
