We looked at Vita spas, and liked them however the one we liked most was pretty far out of our price range at over 10 thousand. I also thought the dealer was a bit daffy, and seemed to know little to nothing about spas. They had a dozen sitting out in the back under the full sun with no protection. Not good. I of course was armed with the comfort of knowledge gained from research with this site's willing and skilled contributors who unlike me actually know a lot about the spa industry. To the point, I have a good friend who has a Vita, about 8 years old now. He has had a very good experience with it so far. Needed a new heater this year, but it had been sitting unused for over a year when he tried to rekindle it. It works great, has very comfortable couple orinetd seating and a built in cooler in one corner. No drain in the cooler, but the concept is great. Beyond that I can't help.
