What are the best hot tub brands?

Are you in the market for a hot tub? You’re not alone! Hot tubs have become increasingly popular over the years, and for good reason. Who wouldn’t want to relax in warm, bubbly water after a long day? With so many hot tub brands available, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. We’ve compiled a list of the best hot tub brands available to help you make an informed decision.

Jacuzzi

First up is Jacuzzi. As one of the most well-known hot tub brands in the world, Jacuzzi has been innovating since the 1950s when they created the first hydro-massaging pump to help a family member with arthritis. Jacuzzi hot tubs are renowned globally for being some of the best in the industry. They offer a wide range of stunning hot tub models that deliver an amazing hydro-massage experience. Strategically positioned jets target key muscle groups, providing a therapeutic massage that will leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Jacuzzi hot tubs are also some of the most efficient hot tubs in the world, with the global median average to run a J-300 or J-400 being just 6kWs per 24 hours. Now then, if 6kWs per 24 hours means nothing to you, don’t fret, it doesn’t mean anything to most people. To calculate the daily running costs you first take the average price per kW in the U.K. which as of April 2024 is £0.25. Then you multiply this by 6 which would give you a daily running cost of £1.50. Of course, this would be an estimate, but this does give you a good indication of how cost-effective Jacuzzi hot tubs are to run.

Let’s talk about some of the other features that we love about Jacuzzi, one being their stunning design; A Jacuzzi hot tub doesn’t look out of place in a multi-million pound home, this is in part due to their elegant and sophisticated look. PLUS (drumroll please)…. ALL Jacuzzi hot tubs now come as standard with SmartTub, an additional extra that up until recently would have set you back £549. SmartTub will enable you to control your hot tub from anywhere in the world, deep dive into your hot tubs running costs and much more.

Next on the list to discuss with Jacuzzi is their warranty. It’s good… very good. Not only is the manufacturer’s warranty incredibly comprehensive, but they even provide their list of authorised dealers up to 3 years of labour warranty. This means that if absolutely anything was to fail on your hot tub within 3 years of installation (2 years on J-200 models) then you would pay absolutely nothing. Pretty good ey!

As with all premium products, you can expect Jacuzzi products to fetch a higher price than competing brands.

Platinum Spas

If you’re looking for a brand that offers premium features at an affordable price, look no further than Platinum Spas. Their range of hot tubs are efficient, with the CEC certification to prove it. This means they are among some of the most energy-efficient hot tubs available, helping you save money on your electricity bills.

Platinum Spas also offer a premium range of hot tubs with powerful models that have up to 4 pumps. The jets are designed to deliver a good hydro-massage experience, and their hot tubs are well-insulated to ensure maximum heat retention. Platinum Spas are the perfect choice for those who are seeking premium-level features at an affordable price.

Based in Chesterfield and starting their journey into the world of hot tubs in 2013, Platinum Spas (owned by Superior Wellness) have quickly become the largest supplier of hot tubs throughout the U.K. and Europe.

We’ve been very impressed by the range of Platinum Spas, they’ve taken the time to ensure that they’ve got something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for an entry-level spa to splash around with the people closest to you, or whether you’re looking for something to give you a deep tissue massage- Platinum Spas has you covered.

Whilst Jacuzzi does offer better warranties, lower running costs and in our opinion a better massage. You do get a whole lot of hot tub for the Money with a Platinum Spa.
