Bill, I would probably buy the same tub all over again. Would you try something else if you had to do it all over again?

Bill

          You didn't include Maybe as an option

I am very happy with our tub but would probably look at others if shopping again

Not enough choices Bill. What if we want a different brand, yet we are still happy with our exsiting brand.

I'd definitely get a Sundance again, but I think I would get the Optima instead of the Cameo - I find I don't use the lounger as much as I did on my previous spa and having another couple over occassionally would give 4 corner seats with the Optima.  My only regret.

I agree with not enough choices.

I like my dealer, like my brand (so far, so good) but I may buy a smaller tub and wouldn't buy neck collar seats. Those seats really don't get used. With a smaller tub, it may have pushed me into a Platinum class Artesian but who knows.

In my case, Dynasty no longer has a dealer in my area.

I would definitely buy another Jacuzzi, but would rather have bamboo shoots shoved under my fingernails that give Oasis Spas in Orlando another dime of my money.  They are out of business but reopened under a different name although Sundance won't allow them to carry the brand.  They are the biggest lying crooks I have encountered in ANY business and I have been in timeshare for 14 years!!!

I'd certainly consider the same brand again, but I'd also shop others, just to see what's changed over the years.  But my dealer isn't selling spas anymore, so regardless of what brand, it'd be a different dealer.

I think the operative word for you is "we", my operative word is "I". We don't soak, but I do so that's why a smaller tub might fit the bill.

Wanna trade? ;) ;D

Yes I would definitely choose the same dealer, Coquitlam Beachcomber,  and I would still choose the same model Hot tub.
I am very pleased with this purchase which is two and a half years old now.

Regards, Zz :)

While happy so far with my tub and dealer I probably would at least look at a couple of other brands that I did not look at originally. Chief among them would be the Artesian Piper Glen although that tub would no doubt cost more than my current tub and I am not sure I would be willing to pay the difference. Ultimately it would depend on my impression of the dealer, the wet test of course and exactly how much more it would cost.

Variable speed pump for each corner seat would be very appealing!

The alternative would be to go down to the Emerald which appears to be a similar tub to mine, although slightly smaller. But if it cost about the same or more I probably would stay with the one I have.
