Welcome to our forum.
You have looked at some of the top brands in the industry. Â Some others would be Marquis, Dimension One, and Caldera.If you stick with one of these top brands, you will get what you are looking for. Â For sure, there is no one best brand out there. Â One thing you will need to do is wet test the spas. Â Figure out which ones you like then test them out. Â One thing you don't want to do is spend money on a spa without ever having tested it. Â Welcome to the forum and good luck. Â Have fun with your search.
I'd say that the dealer's reliablity is far more important than what brand to buy.
They are both important but I wouldn't call one "far more" important than the other. A good dealer can help make a so-so product work and a good manufacturer can help make up for a so-so dealer.
Perhaps I should have been clearer. Â I meant between the major brands listed, dealer support and capability is more important than brand. Â We're talking about all the "A-List" spas here- not the ones a bit down the ladder. Â Â And I'd hate to be stuck with a sub par dealer and have to rely on a company thousands of miles from here.So in that context I stand by my statement. Â
Dealers come and go. your dealer can be in buisness for 30 years and close its doors tomorrow.You need a company that has deales in alot of places , you need a spa thats reliable so you can use it.Hotsprings,Nordic Crown Xl,Jacuzzi & Sundance are all over the comtry and seem to have the least problems.John
