Welcome to our forum.
Does it have clearance, both top and back, for cover lifters? One of the things I have liked about sitting in other people's hot tubs at night is staring at the sky, which would be harder here.OTOH, shade during hot sun, and at least partial coverage during inclement weather, sounds nice.
I thought that Covana took the place of a normal cover, and has an electric motor to raise and lower it...?
They are kinda cool, I remember seeing them in Vegas a couple of years ago. Only problem I saw at the time was the unit being stuck open for whatever reason in the dead of winter. The guy told me you couldn't lower it manually. Maybe they have solved that issue?
How much does it retail for? A friend had one on his showroom floor for a couple years. People really liked it but they didn't buy it. Its like showing me a refrigerator that will toss me a beer while I remain sitting on the couch. I'd say "wow, I'm impressed and that's awesome how it works but for $XXXX I'll get up and get my own beer". I'm sure it has a market for people who don't blink at the added price or have an issue with being able to open the cover due to some physical issue but otherwise I think it's more novelty item than anything though it will look good on the showroom floor.

And yes not to paint any broad strokes or make assumptions but this isn't really an item for the folks who clip coupons (like me lol), fortunately I'm in a very high end area so I believe we will sell a few. They also generate tons of traffic at fairs, homeshows, etc. which as we all know is good for business
