So, I've been searching for my first spa. I've visited the three dealers that are closest to my home and this is what I've come up with. One dealer sells Sundance and Sweetwater. I looked at the Cameo and the Palermo. I couldn't wet test the Palermo, but I really liked the way it was laid out and the way it felt. The only stumbling blocks I could see were the shorter 3 year equipment warranty and the fact that the jets did not feel as solid as the ones on the Sundance. (I'm going to try and wet test it this weekend at one of their other stores) I did wet test the Cameo and I liked the jets, etc. but I found it difficult to move around in. I have young children and think that more flat surfaces might be helpful. The next dealer sells Hotspring and Tiger River. I wet tested the Grandee and liked it very much, but I'd prefer not to spend that much. I also sat in the Sovereign and Vanguard, but the Sovereign seemed a little small and the seats in the Vanguard seemed to sit very erect. There was no water in either of these tubs, so I'm not sure that I should rule them out. The next dealer sells Dimension One. I didn't wet test any, but I did like the feel of the Nautilus, which like the Grandee is more than I wanted to spend. I also liked the Sojourn HP and the Dream HP, more in my price range, but again only a 3 year equipment warranty. Of all the spas I looked at, I liked the Sweetwater Palermo the best. I was told that it had the same build quality as the Sudance, but without all the "bells and whistles". I'm looking for some guidance and suggestions to help me in my search. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
