Which hot tubs have the best warranty?

Warranty periods on hot tubs vary from brand to brand. Some have the bare minimum, some go above and beyond and some don’t carry any warranty at all.

It’s important to see which brands show confidence in their products and are geared towards longevity and which ones aren’t.

You also have to be careful about prorated hot tub warranties, which lose value over time or don’t cover parts and labour for the full term of the warranty. Check to make sure parts and labour are fully covered for the entire warranty period.

Also, be careful of exclusions and conditions. Sometimes these warranties require you to use an authorized dealer for all service, others require you to buy their water care products to have a valid warranty.

Some hot tub warranties are sneakier than others, so be sure you understand the warranty before purchasing.

While I hope this list is helpful and I believe a good warranty is important, it’s also not EVERYTHING.

A hot tub could have a good warranty on paper, but if it’s a tub that’s difficult to service, or the parts regularly go on backorder or if it’s not even the right tub for you, a longer warranty won’t make you enjoy the tub more.

Here are some of the top hot tub brands and the warranties they carry (current as of writing).
