Never sat in a Nordic, just looking at it wouldn't be my preference to. (JMHO
).
Wet tested a Dynasty because we seriously were interested in getting one==very blingy and stereo and nice colors, etc. Disappointed in the therapy, and floating.
Viking, well, that was my first Hot tub experience, my mom had a Viking 1 or 2 (that big ol' round tub that could fit a bunch. THerapy was ok. Kids loved it, because, with the whirlpool jet on, they could all slide around the bench seat with the whirlpool. Never had any issues with it, had a cartridge to clean, and I used bromine and scum bugs, and when needed, Arm and Hammer baking soda to adjust the ph. I doubt I could do that today with the tubs we are looking to buy, fancy ozonators and such.
We had initially looked at Destiny River (Viking line) because it was a nice, blingy tub at a cheap price, but a dry test wasn't comfy for hubby or I and we never did wet test it. Now, we have doubled our price range despite whether or not we could've or should've. But, if we are buying an overpriced/sized hot water heater, it may as well last us many years with comfort and use, and get what we want now.
Good luck and the motto of the forum, is, wet test your arss off!!
