Kind of an odd mix of spa's there, J-245 no lounge to theJ-355 lounge to a Maxxus large with lounge then to a Grandee large with no lounge.. What exactly are you looking for in a spa?

What exactly are you looking for in a spa? Doesn't seem too strange to me, assuming they're a first time home buyer. I had zero idea what I wanted beyond bubbles and hot water when I first started looking. I also never thought I'd end up spending as much money as I did (after all, how much of a difference could there be between a 5K and 10K tub?). It definitely helped me appreciate people who were buying a new computer for the first time. I mean, how big a difference could there be between beige boxes, right? Have a good weekend everyone.-S
^^ This. My first hot tub purchase and I am very glad I am trying several different varieties.
After some initial research and lurking on this forum I decided to definitely purchase a better brand (ruled out Dynasty, etc). Any comments on whether Hot Springs or Sundance is more reliable?

Any comments on whether Hot Springs or Sundance is more reliable? Thanks for coming back, I too liked the moto massage. My wife not so much, I'm not sure why. Maybe if she had to live with my back awhile. The Grandee is a good tub to test since it gives you almost everything HS has to look at. As for your last question, the thought of reliability lead me to also narrow things down brand wise. I'm already committed to seeing about reliability I guess. I don't know what you will get in the way of answers. The only thing I can offer is that I have a PC repair business that has a couple hundred senior customers and I've seen 3 hot tubs that were more than 15 years old still working and all of them were Hot Spring tubs. Now that I think about it, I think they were all the same model. I forget the model, but its one Chas mentions a lot that he still sees on occasion.
Decided on the Sundance Maxxus with stereo. All Seasons Spas in Hilliard hooked me up with a reasonable price and good service. Now just have to wait to get this thing put in!
I actually purchased the Maxxus they had on the floor, so delivery is fast. They're bringing it tomorrow morning
