Hello,
I don't know anything about the Viking Spas, sorry. If you click on the "search" icon, and type in "viking" and change the time limit to "all posts", you'll find some things. I just looked real quick, and found a lot of viking's mentioned, but none by actual owners. It looks to me like a lot of people looked at them and considered buying them, but if someone did buy one, they're not talking on here. Hope that helps a little. Don't be spur of the moment when you buy, take your time and research just like you're doing. Have you looked at any other spas in your price range?
