I've been finding this forum very helpful in my hot tub search. I was wondering if anyone might suggest some specific models for:
- 4-5 person hot tub; less than 7x7 feet
- as few features as possible (no waterfall, ozoneater, LED lights, digital display, etc.)
- from a reputable manufacturer known for making long-lasting products
- Around $5-$6k
A good example of this is the Hot Spot line from Hot Springs. Hot Springs has a reputation as a long-lasting, quality brand, but they have a line of hot tubs with only very basic features. Unfortunately they don't have a mid-sized 4-5 person option, but the 7-person tub for $6k seems like a pretty good price. I just want a tub of hot water with jets that won't end up breaking down and needing replacement parts within a couple years.
Also, everything I read about online retailers seems to suggest they are often delivered with broken parts, low in quality, etc. Are there any online brands that are reputable?
