Welcome to our forum.
Hey everyone,Thanks for taking a minute to read and respond to my post. I know a stupid question would be to ask, "what's the best spa to buy?", so I'll refrain and give you some background information, so perhaps you can make the best recommendations possible.I just bought a house in south-western Michigan, where the winters can be pretty harsh. I'm a larger gentleman that wants space in a tub, and would also like to accommodate people for the occasional party. I'm looking for a tub that is deep, and of extremely durable build quality, as well as well insulated with lower energy costs. I'd also prefer something that is cheap and easy to maintain. I've already done some research on manufacturers, but mostly only their websites, with the exception of a Hot-Springs dealer locally, that was obviously a trained salesman. Not that this is an issue, but I want to know the true pros and cons of some specific brands and models. I know that what seem to be the most highly recommended spas are not the ones sold online, but are there any brands that one can purchase online that are exceptional? Furthermore, of the major manufacturers, which ones will best suit my needs. I'll be financing this tub, and to me, I'd rather pay less, but if there is a legitimate reason to pay more, that shouldn't be a complication. Anyhow, let me know your thoughts, and thanks for your time.
