The moto massage jet is one of the weakest in the industry!

What made it an attack was the above introduction to your remark.

So what if it stops when you turn the air off?  Spa users who wnat the the action leave the air on.  Do they care if the massage they are getting is from water or air?  Of course not.

I have also sold Jacuzzi, so I know the 50/50 air/water pitch.  I will be the first to say the bigger Jacuzzi jets are awesome.  However, they are also limited to a small area.  Many manufacturers make spas with nice jets.  All have stregths and weaknesses.  Does this make them "weak"?

In terms of desirability, the moto massage jet is one of the most desired jets in the industry.  And, one of the most attacked since it is a Hot Spring exclusive.

Leave it to Term to raise the level of conversation.

Are you happy to see me or is that a moto massage in your pants?

I took an extra shot of the KoolAid before I responded.

MUST REMEMBER PRIME DIRECTIVE:
DEFEND.HOTSPRING.MOTOMASSAGE.   :) ;)

Hardly the prime directive, hell as a whole I like sundance jets better than HS.

I just tried my first fried Twinkie this last weekend.  WOW!!  It really was good.  My friend tried the fried chocolate chip cookie dough.  That one was good, too.

I'm telling you, I've had all kinds of desserts from far and wide and a fried Twinkie done up right tops them all!

And I ain't talkin' about LtDan's version, neither!

I'd check the Stumpinator thread before admitting to messing with a fried twinkie...

Is this really what a HS Moto Massage jet looks like?



OMG....That really looks like something else!

LOL


Funny you should ask, that's one of the new options for the HS Aria, it's called the Tickle Me Elmo extension.  :o

to get back on topic (sorry), I'd like to point out that the MM sweeping only when the air is injected doesn't mean that it's "weak" with the air off...I'd call it "different". It's a jet that is either moving or not, based on a dial.  Water comes through it either way. It's just a matter of how intense the user wants the massage to be. The sweeping motion is unique, and even if the jet DOES resemble a certain appendage that shall not be named because of the nature of this forum, it does its job, which is providing a quality massage to the back.
In any case, it's not worth caterwauling over, it is what it is, and it ain't a sheep. ;)  baaa-aaaah.

Hi everyone, its been a real long time since I visited the forum.  After reading some of the comments and a few slams back and forth, I must say things are still fiesty as ever ;D

I still love my vanguard even thought my service still has been sub par.

Term- I see you still have a sense of humor.
