Welcome to our forum.
Have you looked at other brands? There is no ONE spa to get. There are many to choose from. Different models and different brands will meet your needs differently. What research have you done to this point? Have you looked at the top brands out there such as Jacuzzi, Hot Spring, Sundance, Marquis, Caldera, Dimension One, et al. There are many others that could be added to the list.Who told you that Coleman was the "one" to buy? Was it a salesman or a friend? Again, there is no one spa to buy. You really need to look around and wet test to find out which one meets what you are looking for.
Yea, what Spatech said, I try to read his posts in more depth these days. There is great wisdom is what he has to offer. Scott
Thanks to everyone for their replies !Any input as to how to convince my husband this is a wise, not frivolous, investment?
Have him read the forum and see how much everyone loves their spas. Then, take him to wet test one. Give him a glass of wine before he gets in. Then, just as he is in his full state of relaxation in the spa, ask him how much he loves being in a spa. 8-)
