Today we review the Bullfrog Hot Tubs and Spas. We give you a full walkthrough of pros and cons of Bullfrog Hot Tubs and Spas. Please follow me on Twitter here: / lukebk
Thanks for the honest review. Wish more people would do this.i just placed an order for one today!! I went with the A8L wanted the lounger but liked the fact the A8 is 38" deep instead 36" the A7 is. It's sad I can only find yours and one other review that are from individuals not dealers. Thanks again
Looked at some Bullfrogs this weekend. Now doing some research and stumbled onto this video. As soon as you started talking, I knew that voice from CC. Thanks for the honest review.
We went with a Wind River hot tub. They are made for Colorado and built in Colorado! I like that they dont have the spray in foam to insulate that if there is a leak just gets all wet and hard to do maintenance, instead they insulate the box and the sides remove easily to fix if ever needed. Also the material the tub is made from is superior to others out there and wont crack.
Never heard of Wind River. I have to research that brand for possible vacation residence in Florida. I have a Hot Springs Full foamed Envoy in NYC. A must for the long cold miserable winters but would be a nightmare to fix a leak. A perimeter insulated tubs definitely makes sense in a warmer climate.
It’s so hard to decide on what hot tub to buy and you’re right so many pros and cons but generally do you like your hot tub and is it easy to use? How are the electric bills each month?
Hi I have the a7l and noticed that one of the top in wall jets under the waterfall is not adjustable. The other three are adjustable. Is yours the same way?
I have an A6L and I love it. What this video fails to mention are some of the best reasons to get a Bullfrog spa: 1. Modular jet packs. Easily replaceable should one fail or if you just want a different jet configuration 2. 90% less tubing than a traditional hot tub so way less possibility for leaks or repairs. 3. Has snap in cartridges for minerals and chlorine and uses 75% less chlorine than traditional hot tubs 4. Frame is some sort of super strong molded plastic. So no wood or metal to rust or rot. I've had mine operational for about 2 months and really like it. Each jet pack is highly customizable by whoever is sitting in that particular seat. Being able to control each side of tub is great too as it has dual pumps. Overall I'd recommend!!
Good to hear your input. A salesperson in another vid claimed that the jetpacks were weak and had no purpose but I appreciate your view. Customizing a favorite seat seems like a huge plus. Are they adjustable in any way besides high / low strength ? and how deep is the tub ? for winter I prefer 36" or better
I think I saw that same review, that guy is a sundance dealer from Atlanta watched it a couple of times he never said anything bad except weak jetpacks and he would never move them. To me that's almost a recommendation from a competetitor
I've had an A8 for a few months. Love it. I had the LED interior light setting to rotate colors for a while but can't get it back to that setting. Any ideas or how to get that setting back?
@The Breakdown With Luke , Thanks for the great review of you A7. You did not mention which of the three Trim Levels you have (Standard, Plus, or Select). A dealer told me that the "Premium Water Feature" (Plus & Select Trims) has a three tiered flow, which is what yours looks like. Your cabinet did not seem to be two-tone (Select Trim), So I assume you have the middle Trim 'Plus' of the A&7. The 'Standard Trim' comes with "standard lighting". Yours, if it is a 'Plus Trim' would have the 'Premium Lighting'. Sad to hear that the 'Premium Lighting' is underwhelming. I am looking at A6L or A7L, now I'll have to really look at what 'STANDARD Lighting' looks like if it will be more underwhelming than the 'Premium Lighting'. I'm told that the 'Select Trim' add lighting under each headrest. But as of Dec. 20, 2023, Select Trim is $2500 over Standard Trim, and the A7 Select is an additional $4300. I am not likely to spring for the Select Trim level. ;o) Another difference between Standard and the other two higher Trims is Standard Headrests & Premium headrests for the two higher models. I'm told that Std HR's are soft, so you cannot sit on them and have your legs dangle into the tub. ??? The Premium HR's are said to be hard (and wider), so you can sit on them. Curious if you can speak to your head rests vs. the Std softer, smaller ones if you saw them in your shopping. Thanks again for a great review. Dave
Thanks for the video. Just saw Bullfrog tubs at Costco last weekend; nearly pulled the trigger on an $11,000+ A6L. My next door neighbor got the guy to give it to her for $9,400! Needless to say, I would have been highly peeved to spend $2000 more for same unit. What is your experience with pricing? Now it feels like buying a car…
Can you make a short video just showing all jet packs full blast so I can see what that looks like? Considering an R7L, don't need that many seats since we're a family of 3, but I want to see what the tub looks like with everything going full tilt. Reply to me when you post it so I can go find it. 😅
There's something missing in this that I wanted to see, and that was your experience as an owner after using it for a year or more. All the reviews I have been finding about Bullfrog spas are bad. Leaks, broken or missing parts that are hard to get, not much power, etc. We wanted a hot tub but not the usual curvy, marbled spaceship-like look. Something more modern and sleek looking. That's when I first saw Bullfrog. But I can't be confident about investing with them after what I have found. I found Wellis Spas; they have a look close to Bullfrog. But according to all the reviews I've come across, the design and construction are top-notch. There are just fewer dealers up here in Canada.
Nice clean install... but going to be hell when you need to service it. Looks like there's no access without pulling it. Hopefully it will be trouble free for some time ;)
Hate to be a downer but......first tub A7D (ordered May 2023) had an air-lock that both the dealer nor I could fix. Bullfrog did step up and a second arrived last weekend 🎉(after 3 weeks). We fired it up Monday evening and it was shooting shredded black rubber through all of the jet-packs and the #1 pump / filter has very little water pressure. The dealer this time stepped up and sent a technician out to troubleshoot and repair, however, two new pump replaces later, nada. I have asked the dealer for a full-refund prior to taking any legal action. Let's see how Bullfrog steps-up and refunds the dealer. All in all, these are the deal breakers meaning pumps that do not work along with plugged up plumbing in two models but there is 5 other problems including lighting, jets, switches. for a $15,750 spa, come on. Quality control is sorely lacking at Bullfrog in the summer of 2023. Let's see if their customer service is better. Believe me I love the engineering but the execution in manufacturing and QC is lacking.
It has a really nice enclosed frame no bugs, no worry about rot or bugs. See the bullfrog website and read the manual and installation directions even if you are getting someone else installing so you know if they are doing it as recommended.
@@TheBreakdownWithLuke Hi, I would greatly appreciate if you would disclose what you paid for it out the door.... I wish everyone was as honest as you on here
Very nice spa. Rule#1 never put your hot tub in the hole like this. Sooner or later you're going to need to work on it and it's virtually impossible to get to
word of advice I would unsink that tube out of your deck it makes it very cost-prohibitive to work on and you will have to work on it in time guaranteed
There is a large opening underneath. I've already had people under there to work on it. Plus we left straps there for a crane to easily lift it out if ever needed.
@The Breakdown With Luke sounds like you don't need luck lol. Love to see responses like this. People can't help but say "good luck" in sarcastic voices if they were heard.
