Our verdict on each
Jacuzzi
Jacuzzi suits buyers who want a built-in spa from an established maker rather than an inflatable, with room for 9 people and a seat count that ranks 3 of 21. The trade-off is entry price at $5,000 and a delivery charge that sits outside it.
Wave Spas Main
Wave Spas Main suits buyers who want a simple plug and play tub or inflatable with delivery included, on a low entry price. The trade-off is cover: 2 years of warranty and support on email, chat and help centre, with a company founded in 2018.

Pros and cons
Jacuzzi
Pros
- Room for 9 people, which places Jacuzzi 3 of 21 brands on seats max.
- Finance is available, so the $5,000 entry point can be paid over time rather than in a single payment.
- hot tub, swim spa and sauna cover water and heat from one maker, matching the list at Saunaloft in hot tub, inflatable hot tub and swim spa.
Cons
- Delivery included is a no, so $5,000 is not the cost of getting a tub home.
- Price from $5,000 ranks 20 of 25 brands, putting Jacuzzi at the costly end of entry prices.
- Support runs on help centre only, with no direct contact channel listed.
Wave Spas Main
Pros
- Plug and play, delivery included and finance are all yes, so no separate delivery charge is added on top of the listed price
- Entry price of €303.95 places the brand near the top of the field on price from, with the range topping out far below the category ceiling
- Product types cover both hot tubs and inflatable hot tubs in one range
Cons
- Warranty of 2 years is short for a hot tub, and sits below the hot tub median of 2 years
- Seats max of 6 people is at the low end of the hot tub range, ranking 13 of 21 brands on that measure
- Product types stop at hot tubs and inflatable hot tubs, so a cold plunge option like Lay-Z-Spa or Almost Heaven Saunas offers is not covered
Who each suits
Jacuzzi
Who it suits
- Groups who want the tub to seat everyone at once, since 9 people is the maximum across the range.
- Buyers who want water and heat under one roof, with hot tub, swim spa and sauna from the same maker.
- Shoppers in the markets listed at US, CA and AT, who can buy locally rather than arrange an import.
Who should look elsewhere
- Lay-Z-Spa buyers who want a cold plunge, which appears in hot tub, inflatable hot tub and cold plunge but not in Jacuzzi's hot tub, swim spa and sauna.
- Wave Spas Main shoppers who want only hot tub and inflatable hot tub and a shorter list to read through.
- Buyers who need delivery inside the price, since delivery included is a no, and should ask Saunaloft for a delivered quote as well.
Wave Spas Main
Who it suits
- Buyers who want a tub that runs straight from a standard outlet without installation work
- Shoppers in European markets who want delivery included in the listed price
- Anyone splitting the cost with finance rather than paying in one go
Who should look elsewhere
- If you want a cold plunge in the range, Almost Heaven Saunas lists one alongside hot tubs
- If you want saunas as well as tubs in one catalogue, Saunaloft carries sauna and infrared sauna lines
- If a longer warranty is the priority, the 2 years here is the weakest point

Questions about each
Jacuzzi
How much does a Jacuzzi hot tub cost to start with?+
Jacuzzi lists its entry point at $5,000, which puts it at 20 of 25 brands on price from, so budget for the costlier end of the category. Finance is available, which spreads the outlay over time rather than cutting the price, and delivery is charged on top.
Is delivery included in the price?+
No. Delivery included is a no, so $5,000 does not cover getting a tub to where it will sit. Across the wider field, 63.6% of brands include delivery and 36.4% do not, so it is worth asking every brand for a delivered quote before comparing them on the headline figure.
Wave Spas Main
How much does a Wave Spas hot tub cost?+
Prices start at €303.95 for the range, which covers both rigid and inflatable tubs. That entry point ranks 2 of 25 brands on price from, so the cheapest model does most of the attracting. Higher specification tubs in the same range cost considerably more.
What does the price include at checkout?+
Delivery is included in the listed price, so no separate freight charge is added on top. Finance is also available, which spreads the cost rather than requiring it in one payment. Buyers budgeting in another currency should check the local figure shown on the store.
