Which costs less to run, the A7 or the X7?
The X7, by 56 W on standby, about $7.44 a month. Standby is what a tub draws to hold its temperature with the cover on and nobody in it. California tests it the same way for every spa sold in the state, so it is the fairest running-cost figure we have.
The A7 draws 233 W in California's standby test (filed at 418 gallons), about 170 kWh and $30.94 a month at the U.S. average rate. 33% of the 100 filed tubs its size draw more; their median is 222.5 W.
The X7 draws 177 W in California's standby test (filed at 373 gallons), about 129 kWh and $23.50 a month at the U.S. average rate. 76% of the 126 filed tubs its size draw more; their median is 203 W.
Costs use the U.S. average residential rate of 18.19¢ a kWh (January to July 2026, EIA). Your own rate, climate and how often you use the jets change the bill. Hot tub running cost works it out by state, and measured standby watts lists every filed model.
What to check in the showroom
- Sit in both, dry is fine, in the seat you would use most. On a running display tub, feel the jets with the back of your hand. Seat depth and where the jets land matter more than the count.
- Climb in and out: step height and the lounger's length suit some bodies and not others.
- Ask for each model's California Energy Commission listing and the warranty card.
