Pros and cons
Bullfrog Spas
Pros
- Seats of 13 people give the group its largest bathing capacity, ranking 1 of 21 on the measure.
- Warranty cover of 5 to 10 years runs well past the 2 year median for hot tubs on this site.
- The range spans hot tub and swim spa, so a swim spa is available alongside a hot tub.
Cons
- Plug and play is no, so anyone hoping for a tub that needs no setup visit will look past this brand.
- Entry at $8,395 ranks 24 of 25 brands on price from, making it one of the costliest starts in the group.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre only, with no live chat or community forum listed for owners.
Spadeluxe
Pros
- Warranty of 10 years runs well past the hot-tub median of 2, the strongest point on the page.
- Finance and included delivery together mean the €5,238 entry price can be spread with no separate freight line.
- Plug and play tubs with a heater of 3 to 5.25 kW keep commissioning work down.
Cons
- The infrared cabin entry price of €5,238 puts Spadeluxe at 22 of 25 brands on price from, so it needs justifying against cheaper shells.
- It sells into DE only, so anyone outside that market has no route to a dealer.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre only, with no live chat in that set.
Who each suits
Bullfrog Spas
Who it suits
- Households that fill a single tub with the whole family, since seats reach 13 people.
- Buyers who rank warranty length above entry price, with cover of 5 to 10 years.
- Shoppers in the United States, CA and GB who want a hot tub and a swim spa under a single brand.
Who should look elsewhere
- Lay-Z-Spa buyers, since hot tub, inflatable hot tub and cold plunge adds inflatable hot tubs and a cold plunge to a range Bullfrog Spas covers as hot tub and swim spa.
- Saunaloft shoppers, since hot tub, inflatable hot tub and swim spa pairs a swim spa with sauna and infrared sauna models, none of which sit in the Bullfrog Spas range of hot tub and swim spa.
- Wave Spas Main buyers after an inflatable tub, since hot tub and inflatable hot tub covers inflatable hot tubs while Bullfrog Spas lists hot tub and swim spa.
Spadeluxe
Who it suits
- German home owners who want a fixed shell tub with 7 people seats and a 10 years warranty behind it.
- Buyers who want tubs and saunas from the same seller, given a hot tub, swim spa and sauna range.
- Anyone who would rather spread the €5,238 outlay, since finance is available and delivery is included.
Who should look elsewhere
- Lay-Z-Spa, whose hot tub, inflatable hot tub and cold plunge range is built around inflatable formats and a cold plunge, so it suits buyers after a portable tub rather than a fixed shell.
- Saunaloft, whose hot tub, inflatable hot tub and swim spa range adds inflatable hot tubs to the same hot-tub, swim-spa and sauna core.
- Wave Spas Main, whose hot tub and inflatable hot tub range is limited to hot tubs, so the sauna and swim-spa side sits elsewhere.

Questions about each
Bullfrog Spas
How much does a Bullfrog Spas hot tub cost?+
Entry pricing starts at $8,395. That places the brand 24 of 25 brands on price from, so the starting figure sits close to the priciest end of the group. The figure covers the range as a whole rather than a single model.
How many people fit in a Bullfrog Spas tub?+
Seats max out at 13 people, the highest count recorded among the brands compared on that measure, at 1 of 21. For scale, the site median for seating is 7, so this is a genuinely large tub rather than a couple's bath.
Spadeluxe
What does a Spadeluxe spa cost to start with?+
The listed entry price is €5,238 for the infrared cabin range, which puts Spadeluxe at 22 of 25 brands on price from. Delivery is included, so the figure carries no separate freight line. Finance is available if that outlay needs spreading rather than paying in a single hit.
Where can Spadeluxe deliver?+
Spadeluxe sells into DE, and delivery is included on that route. The support team and the legal entity sit in the same country, which keeps the chain short for a heavy, bulky product. Buyers outside that market would need to look elsewhere, since DE is the only stated route.
