Can someone give me some feed-back on catalina spas? Are they a good company? Is the product reliable? Tell me what you think and please don't hold back

Thanks

okay then... if you enjoy all the glitz of vegas showgirls then you will love the Catalina. I found them to be the tub with the most bells and whistles with the least attention to engineering and little common sense - the dealer in my area had a large poster of the warranty on the wall with all the numbers crossed out and smaller numbers to replace them.

at your request... I didn't hold back

The only comment I have is be careful comparing warranties as there is one item that they may not tell you unless you ask. I think you'll find Catalina's warranty is prorated so if they have an "X" yr warranty on the pumps it may be 100% the first yr (or two) but then it'll be 75% and then 50% etc. where they pay part and you pay part. Meanwhile almost all other major brands have a 100% warranty so if its covered 100% of the parts and labor are covered for the time its warranted, not just a portion.

If catalina spas are not the one, what other spa would you recomend I look at? Hotsprings?

Thanks, I was trying to think of a nice way to say something like that.....

corman,
empolgation and I both have Marquis and from his posts I would say that he is every bit as happy as I am. What area are you in?

What part of Southern Cal as that's a huge area? In that part of the country you probably have options for most/all of the big players (Hot Spring, Caldera, Sundance, Jacuzzi, Marquis, D1 in no particular order would be my recommendation).
