Welcome to our forum.
Just because I like the feel of one spa over another does that make it the best spa? Â (I say no).
If a local company sells an inferior product but has a great track record of servicing the problems should that a reason to buy a spa from them (again No)
If a customer says they are looking at line A, B and C. and want advice on what will work best in a cold climate. "Wet test and service record" is not an answer.
I hear clapping, a lot of clapping for steve.Just wish more consumers were "educated consumers." Their numbers are growing. With more of them, it wil be much more difficult for the silver-tongued salesmen selling spas from dirty warehouses with broken window to find a sucker. Unfortuneately, they're still born about every minute.
Untill a year ago one of the lines we offered in our store was a brand called "Phoenix". Â It was a "lower" line but since it had a LOT of power many people said that it felt slightly better than some of the higher quality lines we carried. Â Using the logic of many on this board "Phoenis" was the best choice. Â
While I believe dealer service is an important factor to consider, I think we are in agreement insofar as I don't believe this consideration is a top priority compared to comfort and massage experience. My personal set of priorities is to first pick the top spas I would consider buying, and then determine which dealer I want to do business with.
OK seriously, Â I think there are many good points made here. Â Micah, I have always believed that the wet test was to find the best fit overall for the customer not just one particlular feature. Â ie can they sit in the lounger without foating, or do those neck jets hurt etc...
How does a person foat? Does it hurt? Does it smell? Can they get sucked into the filter?Inquiring minds want to know!!
