Cal Spas Escape Tropical EC751B — a six-seat bench tub with 51 Velocity jets, 40.5 inches deep, in Silver Birch acrylic on a Mist cabinet. The jets run from the foot well to the neck in every seat, which is what 51 buys you on a standard footprint.

At a glance: 6 seats · 51 jets · 84" x 84" x 40.5" · Bench · New

Living with it. Deeper than the standard 36 inches, so shoulders stay covered, and bench seating means all six seats work at once. It is $1,000 less than the Plus-line tubs with the same footprint and more jets than most of them; the trade is the Escape shell rather than the Plus. Standard pad, standard gate path, dedicated 240 V circuit.
