Title: Seems like Caldera is really taking off
Post by: Gomboman on May 23, 2006, 10:48:06 pm
Every time I turn around it seems like someone is buying a Geneva or Tahitian. It seems like Caldera is selling a lot of spa nowadays. Let's hear from some of our Caldera cousins. How do you like your Caldera so far?

To answer your question I love my Tahitian.  While it's a little smaller than the Geneva it has the same layout but only two jets less and the less dimensions.  For my taste it gives a great massage and the sole soothers in the lounge are like nothing I've ever felt before.  After a long days work the sole soothers really pamper the feet.  We wet tested other brands but felt the Tahitian fit our needs better then the Jacuzzi, Hot Springs, or Marquis.  I also like how every seat provides a different massage.  And the spa glo interior and exterior lighting looks great.  Don't get me wrong I liked the other brands but the caldera fit our life better.  Also it was nice that our dealer has the best reputation in town and takes care of their customers.

it's a great brand, it's about time that it gets the national recognition it deserves.

I just bought the New model from Caldera   The Moorea..
Just love it... I shopped around alot and always came back to the caldera line... The new Moorea is a great spa and the size is wonderful... Looked at the Martinique seemed small then at the Tahitian but husband of 6ft 4 could not fit under the neck message corner seat I am 5ft 8 and was almost to tight as well. I just wanted every one to know that the calderas are wonderful and you can actually run all jets at the same time.. some draw backs with hot springs.. love the tub... ;D

They really do seem to be getting a lot of play on the forums nowadays.  I can certainly see them being positioned to climb into the top 5 brands volume wise, perhaps even up to #3 before it's all said and done.  Maybe even higher.

Wow, I thought they were already in the Big Five. Are you saying they are farther down the food chain?

they're in the top 10 but not top 5. don't have enough dealers nationwide.

I think the order goes.

1. Hot Spring
2. Sundance
3. Jacuzzi
4. Cal Spas
5. D1
6. Caldera
7. Master
8. Catalina
9. Marquis
10. Coast

I would agree, but I would post it differently:

[size=13]1. Hot Spring[/size]












[size=10]2. Sundance
3. Jacuzzi
4. Cal Spas
5. D1
6. Caldera
7. Master
8. Catalina
9. Marquis
10. Coast
[/size]

BTW - where is Tiger River? I have heard that they were the 8th largest seller several years ago, and I assumed they had advanced from there.

Chas- That's funny. I don't know about Tiger River you would know better than I would, but I could believe that they were in the top 10.

But I wouldn't put Hot Springs that far ahead of Sundance, they sell more, but I don't think it's by such a large margin as you make it out to be maybe more like this.

1. Hot Springs



2. Sundance
etc.
etc.

;D

Well, that's certainly respectable. Especially since they only offer Three models, and bypass filtration.
