Welcome to our forum.
Our week of wet testing is done, and we're down to two contenders.Tested the Sundance Edison, Artesian/south seas 748L, Jacuzzi 335 and Hot Springs relay. The Artesian is out- neither me nor the hubby liked the way it felt and I floated out of the lounger. The Jacuzzi is out, as we really wanted to test the 235 but they only had the 335 for testing. We liked it a lot, but not $2k more than the others and I'm not buying a model I can't test. The Sundance was great, and although I wanted a lounger they only had the non-lounger version. I didn't mind not having the lounge and since I floated out of the other sundance loungers I didn't mind not having it. The Hot Springs Relay was my favorite, and the pricing right now with a sale is coming in $400 under the Sundance, and $600 under a comparable Jacuzzi (the model I couldn't test). So...Is $5999 a decent price for the Hot Spot Relay? That includes cover, cover lift, steps, Ozone, delivery, set up and chemicals. Sundance wants $6495 for the Edison with financing, or $6294 without. I'll go back and test the Edison before I make my final decision but right now I'm leaning towards the Relay. Both dealers get good ratings both online and in person. It's been three weeks of research, shopping and testing but I think I'm ready to pull the trigger. I could go either way so I'd love to hear any feedback.thanks!H
