3 or 5 year warranty

[shane]

Yes, me again.  I thoght it would be easier to post single questions rather than one long one to stay on point.  

Coleman has a 5 year warranty.  Artesian has 3 year.  Should I be concerned with Artesian only having a 3 year?  What is average/typical?

Thanks!

Its one of the ways to try and keep the costs down of the spa...Go with the one the fits your best..Both are respected ....

Warranty only as good as the product. If they have to service/replace a product "X" amount of times,what's it really worth?

A tile/stone shop I use to work for in CA,offered/gave their clients a 20 year guarantee as far as installation. It's unheard of in that industry,but my former shop was/is confident in their product,and their installers.

Guess what I'm saying is,a zillion year warranty is great,but what is it worth,in relationship to the product?

Most manufacturers understand what will break,and when,and build their warranty policy around that. I personally expect to replace a pump/motor in 5-7 years on my spa,and if it's fesible,I'll do the work myself.  As I have mentioned in the past,if I get 7-10 years out of my spa,I will be happy.

Hopefully by then,they will have incorporated 1 of my ideas,use a compressor to cool my beers,and heat the water,all in 1 SIMPLE package

GL with your purchasing decision,let the comfort of the spa,and the dealer,be your guiding light in the land of hot,bubbily H20

Pure genius. I thought I solved the hot tub/cold beer problem by buying a kegorator on wheels so I can just roll 15.5 gallons of LaBatts next to the hot tub. I like your idea better, more energy efficient.

Artesian platinum series has five year warranty

Shane,

The warrantee on the Platinum and Gold series is 5

years. You can buy up to a 5 year warrantee for the

Island Series also.

The length of a warranty isn't necessairly indicitave of the quality of the product.  Just depends on how much the mfg.s want to cover.  Longer warranty = higher purchase price.  Really, all you're doing in this example is extending the lenth of warranty protection by 2 years.  If the spa needs repair in this time, you pay instead of the factory.  How likely is it that a couple hundred dollar repair is going to bankrupt you?

Chances are pretty good that regardless of the brand and superior warranty, you're paying for it somewhere!
Gurantees aren't free and cost the manufacturers a great deal of money. One has the 5 years priced into the spa...the other doesn't.

There's far more complelling reasons to make your choice such as comfort, hydrotherapy, low manitenence, quality of the dealer and overall value to you.
