Hi,

I posted yesterday about PDC vs. Resort and they don't seem to be a popular brand.

Can someone give me a list of maybe the top 5 or 6 brands as far as quality and reliability? I live in SW Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh area). Does anyone know of any good dealers south of Pittsburgh--Washington, PA or even in Wheeling, WV?

Thanks and this is a great forum. Just looking through past posts, I've learned a lot.

Denise

denise,

There are many good brands on the market today. I think most will agree that the top 6 are as follows, maybe not in order;
Sundance, Hot Springs, Marquis, D-1, Artesian, Jacuzzi and Caldera.
There has to be a dealer in your area that sells AND services their product. Make sure they have a service department, that is the MOST important.
Good luck...

In no particular order: Caldera, HotSpring, Jacuzzi Premium, Sundance, Marquis are 5 good ones. There are others.

D1, Marquis, MAAX(coleman/elite), HotSpring, Caldera.

There will be one common thread here. Those of us who are dealers will list THEIR brand first, then all others. Is that not true??

As long as the Cal dealers don't chime in...

What is Watkins looking to buy Sundance now?

I would say that all the brands listed are good, but not to exclude some others. The dealer made a big part of my decision to buy Dynasty, and I'm happy 2 years later. I also have one friend still happy with thier Vita Spa. Look through our review section, go to the manufacturers website and see what is in your area.

I will say that while there is a certain group of manufactures that seem to be commonly agreed upon ...there are also companys that are more regional makers that seem to do a good job as well....I think D-1 , Hot Psrings, Sundance and Marquis will make the top of many lists and in certian areas you might also find Coleman, Hydro-Pool , Beachcomber.
