Title says it all, we're looking to buy our first hot tub, but we're obviously very inexperienced in this topic. We already narrowed down our choice to either the Artesian Quail Ridge (from their Platinum Elite Series) or the Dimension One Latitude (@Home series). Both of these are available at local dealer in our area.
We've already been able to wet test the Artesian Dove Canyon, the D1 Triad II and the D1 Dream... We are not necessarily looking for a big spa that can host many people (in fact, we'll probably use it with 2 people at most) but we still think that something like the Triad II was too small for our needs (especially considering the price factor...).
We enjoyed the Dove Canyon, but since it's obviously too big for our needs we'd probably go for it's smaller version, the Quail Ridge... Our local dealer offered us a price of €12,872 (with 'free' installation + most of the options for the spa, excluding the Wifi and the build-in sound system).
Since we liked the Triad II a lot, but not its size, and since I personally did not enjoy the Dream's lounge at all (the wife on the other hand preferred it to the Dove Canyon's), we got an offer for another spa, the D1 Latitude (also from the @Home series) which is supposed to share many features of the Triad II (adjustable neck support + neck massage, arm rest in the lounge, ...) but obviously in a bigger size. Including the SFX LED option, the EZ filter, inox jets, UltraPure, stairs, starter-set of products + installation, this would come down to €11,800
Both dealers are very close to where we live and they both seem trustworthy, but we'd really appreciate any experiences/advice with these brands/products. Since this is our first spa, we're also wondering which of these would be more efficient in energy usage.
Both discounts we got would also expire within a few days, so we won't have the time to do another wet test...
Thanks in advance!
Noah
