Who should buy which
Buyers who want a single tub for cold and warm water, set from the unit or an app, who have room for a tub measuring 76.7 x 31.5 x 28 inches and can take a 441 lb freight delivery or pay $299.99 for Hub Group setup where it is offered.
You are buying for a gym, spa or studio, because Echelon's Terms page voids its warranties for commercial use while its support article offers 6 months; you need the 35.6°F figure confirmed, since the spec table's floor is 37°F; or you want filled weight and floor load in writing before a deck install.
A home buyer who would rather lie back than sit upright in a plunge, fits Renu's 6'7" and 275 lb limit, and has a level floor near a drain that can carry about 1,065 lbs, a dedicated 120V, 15A outlet within 12 feet, and 2 to 4 people to move a 297 lb tank off a pallet.
You want someone to place the tank for a known fee, since delivery is curbside and Renu publishes no price for anything more; you want a real wood breath deck, because every combination on this listing is composite; or you need an ETL, UL or CSA listing in writing, which Renu does not publish for the Aurelius.
