OK,
I am looking to buy a small 3-4 person spa and have read through most of the posts on here about Arctic spas (one of the brands I am considering in the Fox model) and I think I have distilled the sentiment down to the following:
Are Arctic Spas the BEST on the market? Probably not.
Are they a very good spa? Probably yes.
Are they the most efficient on the market? Probably not
Will they cost alot more to own (elec. bills)? Probably not
Do they offer good service? depends on dealer but usually yes.
Are they the BEST value on the market? Probably not
Are they a good value? Yes
If the tub is comfortable will you be disappointed? Probably not
Will you make a $6,000 to $10,000 mistake? Probably not
Will you make a $500 to $1000 mistake? Maybe but the same could be said for all brands.
Are the salespeople a bit over the top? Yes
Are other spa salespeople a bit over the top? Yes
So when it comes down to it, if you like the tub, it fits you and your lifestyle and you can afford it....buy it with relatively few regrets.
Let me know if I got this right.
