The place my parents used to live at before had one. I'll second what Some Guy From NY said, the heating element is a must if you go for it. Otherwise you're wasting a shitton of water to keep it warm. And even heating could get expensive depending on your electricity rates. I don't recall the jets being too loud, certainly you could hear the pump but it wasn't deafening on anything.

But also do think if you'll really use it.

Just stayed in a rental condo yesterday that had a large jet tub and there was a sign saying don't use it after 10 PM. My niece fired it up at 8 AM and we found out why, fucker was loud as poo poo.

Also why the gently caress do American tubs not have a lip on the edge? If you install them perfectly flat or even slightly tilted any water that gets on the top surface runs out on to the bathroom floor. I went to Australia once and all the tubs I saw had a nice little edge lip on them that kept water from running over. It would run back in to the tub instead. Such a great idea and I haven't seen one in my shopping attempts yet.
Never seen this in the Northern hemisphere, It's obviously only in Australia so that the water doesn't leak out
