Do a search of messages going back a year or so using Home Depot, COSTCO, Lowe's or BIG BOX . You will get the general idea of the predominant opinion.

I actually started my search for a hot tub on Walmart's website. I called them to see if I could ask questions and they gave me Key's customer service number. I talked with a person who strongly advised me to go to Home Depo, since they carry the brand, and try the tub out (althought they are not wet). There was no way any of the tubs would fit me, they were too deep. She also told me that they will "dump" the tub at the end of your driveway and you would have to sign off that the tub arrived OK. If you didn't like the tub, you would be responsible for return shipping that could be a couple of hundred dollars(or more). On the other hand, I talked to someone at Home Depot who told me that they went with that brand of spa because they have a large network of repair shops that will service the tubs. Hang around on here for a while and you will probably see the same thing that I did. These guys know what they are talking about and if you are serious about a hot tub,
you will probably not want to take the chance with a tub that you can't wet test or have a dealer representative to help you.

I have 3 customers that work at Home Depot that bought HotSpring Spas from me.
The spas are less expensive at Home Depot. The spas have more jets at Home Depot. They even get an employee discount at Home Depot. They didn't buy their spas at Home Depot. ;D

I have a friend that has a HD spa. He got a very good deal on it (It "fell off the truck" kinda deal on it.) - Fell off the truck in the "bada bing" way, not in the "it actually fell off the truck" way. He doesn't complain about the tub.
Go look at these tubs. Figure in the cost of the steps, cover, cover lifter, delivery, ozinator. You're adding at leat another $1K to the bill. The $4999 spa is now over $6000.
What ever you do, before you buy go at least go look at other tubs....may I suggest the Tiger River Caspain model. ($7000) The difference in the tubs will be significant .
