Welcome to our forum.
I would disagree that Master is in the same quality category as a HotSpring, Sundance, Marquis, Jacuzzi, Caldera.
IF it was, they would market their product more professionally, and and with pride. They would NOT need resort to such a scam to market their wares with misleading come on's to unwitting consumers. This sort of deceptive marketing practice has proven to be financially successful for them, as they generate sales with high margins, leaving the consumer without service support. They create a less than desireable impression of our industry.
I think Markee is saying that he believes they are not equal.
I understand and I agree. MS appears to do more damage to our industry to consumers and other Hot Tub sellers with their deceptive marketing methods. Stuart is right also. Even the customer that buys it from a good dealer, blames the dealer for the decision they made when they have a bad experience.
