What is the best hot tub to buy for an outside patio?

Question:We want to put an all season hot tub outside-any ideas and experiences with this? Also what are prices? We want to be able to go out in it in the winter/snow too-

Answers:
There are good and bad to all, you can spend upwards of $10,000 or so, depending on what options/size you want, or as little as about $3000 getting into the smaller lower quality tubs. The brand we have chosen and are getting ready to buy after doing quite a bit of shopping around and research is Marquis.

Just shop around, but the best advice I can give is try it before you buy it. Most good dealers have demo tubs set up that you can try in a back room or after hours, and it makes a huge difference sitting in one with water in it trying it for fit and for how the jets feel.
