Viking 3 Similar to Nordic in Quality?
« on: April 06, 2018, 09:06:07 pm »
I've had spas for over 20 years, old Jacuzzi, Coleman, Vita and more. I'm firm on downsizing to a simple spa. Was considering Freeflow but a 1Hp pump plug/play with 20 jets is not what I'm used to in terms of hydrotherapy.

I love a round hot tub with a whirlpool jet. Viking has a round 3 spa. I realize that it not a high end spa, but at $2600 delivered it is hard to turn down. And they have been in business a long time, unlike Vita who went belly up not long after I bought at $7 grand years ago!

That being said, you don't hear too much about Viking on here, however, I'm hoping the spas are mid level on par with Nordic? Thoughts? (Please try to be positive, unless I'm.heading down a road to leaks, bugs and something that will not last for 5 years) Thx!

Viking and Nordic are very comparable. Easily a 5 year tub. Replace a few parts and easily a 10 year tub.

I like them both for no frill options. Both value brands and more middle of the road but for a lot of people middle of the road is fine. If you can test a few different models that would be even better. If the dealer is solid another positive.
