Jumped in a Grandee in Victorville and went through the different seating, jet, and power differences a couple of weeks ago. Pretty comfortable and relaxing. One odd note-the young lady I talked to said I was only the second person to actually get in a filled tub in the nine years she's been selling them....also, their price was about $800 less (listed) than what the dealer in Westwood was asking, so it definitely helps to shop around.
Regardless, I'm looking to do a "soak off" soon, trying out the Hot Spring against the Coleman and Beachcomber down in South Orange County, as they are all three within a mile of each other. I'm waiting for someone from the Beachcomber dealer to call, as they had none filled the last time I inquired.
Chas, after reading tons of your threads and responses, it sounds like you are located around that area. Which dealership do you work out of? Also, I have heard that dealer service can make or break deals. As any dealer is reimbursed for service charges by the company, I can't understand why there would be an issue of where the spa was bought. If a particular dealer would just match the best price I can find, they'd get my business. If I buy a Hot Spring in Victorville and request service from San Juan Capistrano, will I get resistance?
Any help would be appreciated.
