Who should buy which
Buyers who want an upright, step-in plunge with the chiller built into the tub, who can take a 485 lb freight delivery or pay $299.99 for Hub Group setup where it is offered.
You plan to run it in a gym or studio, since one copy of Echelon's Terms voids its warranties in a commercial setting; you want the amperage and circuit requirement in writing before paying $11,999.99; you want to lie back with your legs out, since Echelon describes a squatting position.
Buyers who want the coldest manufacturer-rated floor available in a cedar-and-stainless tub at this price, and who can wait out a 16-week preorder.
You need delivery soon, you buy on warranty depth (Renu's 60-month tub coverage vs 12 here), or you can't run a dedicated 120V/20A circuit.
