Is this comfortable?

Thanks!

I love when a thread takes a life of its own.

That is why HS went to the dual moto massage in order to renew the patent. Or so I heard anyway.

Should we tell 'grandma' that if she had a HS she could double her fun!!!!!

[Tatooed_Lady]

does that make anyone wonder how long before there's a motomassage III?  

[Wisoki]

Yeah, I serriously doubt that has anything to do with the problematic moto massage jet and more to do with marketing.

It appears that HotSpring is the only company that has sold over 700,000 spas.  Coincidence, I don't think so...

This is news to me.  I have to replace between 5 or 10 each year,  90% of the time on spas 10 years or older.  It's $80 for a new one and the customer can replace it themselves in about 10 minutes.  Most other BRANDS of spas don't last 10 years, much less their jets making it that long.

Has anyone else had problems with their MotoMassage?

(I'm thinking I may have to pull out the robot on this one.)

Where did you get the information that most other BRANDS of spas don't last ten years?

Based upon our experience of hauling off 30-40 spas/year that are under 10 years old.  Ain't none of them been a HotSpring.

Actually, to our knowledge, every spa we've sold in the last 21 years is still in the field.  I compare that to the pitiful sights I see of 5 and 10 year old off brand spas that literally fall apart when we go to remove them.

There are some other good, quality brands out there.  But, there's a WHOLE bunch of pure crap, too.

I've been selling Colemans for 12 years and so far we haven't had to haul any old ones off to the dump. We lost an old one when taking it back to the shop to repair, but thats because we rolled it on the interstate.

Every dealer could spin stories about the crap they've pulled out of someones backyard. Not every spa out there was properly cared for. Owner neglect and poor water chemistry over many years will do any spa in prematurly, and some of them were not meant to last more than 10 years. But to make a statement that most other BRANDS will not last more than ten years is ludicrous.

My first spa lasted 10 years and now the neighbor has it in his backyard. I have a 1993 411 that I've sold three times and the third owner is just as happy as the original owner was in 1993. This is a small market so we have to be creative and suggest upgrading people to new spas and selling our customers old spas for them.

I've seen many different bands of spas that were older than 10 years and because they were taken care of, they still have years of life in them.

You sell a good quality brand of spa.  Mendo, stuart, hot tub guru, hymbaw, sandiego, Wisoki, Dr. Spa, etc all sell good brands of spas.

There are probably 150 + brands of spa being built at any given time.  75% or more of those brands are crap being built in a barn or workshop and won't last 10 years.

There's a handfull of quality brands compared to the junk brands.  The quality brands far and away sell the most product.

I stand by my statement.

I guess my location has something to do with it, but I haven't had to deal with these off brand Mom and Pop farm yard built spas. For this I'm glad....

The only problem I've had with mine is that plastic chrome piece is letting loose on the lower end. It DOES make the tub look more fancy schmancy, and I'd love to keep it, but my dealer tells me this isn't an unheard of issue, and if it continues, they'll do a warranty swap with a non-chrome-y piece...I guess the glue's losing it's sticktoitness early in the race.

[East_TX_Spa]

The SS trim on the MotoMassage is no more.  It just won't stay put so they are all being replaced, free of charge.
