We bought our 5 person hot tub new for $5000.00 in 2006. I would say that is still about average. You can of course go up or down on price

It still works :)

Just started a 2016 thread on this here on GW. We bought a Bullfrog A8 today for just under $13.4k

Hello Rose L. I see a hot tub as an investment, similar to buying a car or a heavy-duty appliance.

In terms of cost, there’s more to it than just the tub itself. You may want to consider the installation, excavation, and electrical outlet too. The general range depends on your financial situation and how much you're willing to spend, just keep in mind like most purchases you get what you pay for. You can click here to view an article that discusses pricing ideas along with a detailed description of the kinds of hot tubs. I hope this helps!
