Well, folks, we did our wet test. Unfortunatley, we had to test the model that they already had water in. They wouldn't fill up the particular model we were interested in buying. Disappointing. That could have sealed the deal; now I want to shop around some more. I don't understand why they wouldn't fill the tub for us...we had been in the showroom 4-5 times already, so it should have been obvious that we are serious shoppers.
Again, because I'm 'vertically challenged', seating height was my biggest reason for wet testing. Some of the seats in the model we tested were comfortable and tall enough, but since that was not the model we were interested in, kind of a moot point.
Also, we had to test the tub during their regular work hours....so there were customers walking around when hubbie and I scrambled around in our bathing suits. Uncomfortable about that.
I'm not giving up......I would still like to look at Beachcomber, Arctic, and Hot Springs. We shall see how the wet testing experience differs with other dealers.
