HOT TUB REVIEWS

[HotTubMan]

I was talking about grammar and spelling issues any of us might have!  What I hate is the simple spelling issues, like when I type teh instead of the.  Those are the worst!

Waht are you TaKling aboot?

I really hate it when I hit the "CAPS LOCK" and the letter a at the same time (or close to it) or TAB after  q, happens less often but all of a sudden I am typing in subject line instead of the message section.

I plan on reviewing every spa I "wet test" I will offer mine and hopefully three others (my testers)

i loved reading the reviews that are on there.

I think reviews of tubs that you only wet test are valid if they are written so that the reader can tell that is the case. I've seen a lot of reviews of wet tested tubs that are thinnly disquised slams on a manufacturer.

As far as typos, I know the difference and the proper use of (to,two,too,there their, and they're) but my fingers never seem to type what my mind is thinking.

Most of the reviews while informative are done just after purchase which probably reflects buyers pride more than any negatives.

Agreed. This is why some here have suggested waiting 6-12 months or doing an update at that point.

I find buyer pride/remorse plays strongly in  reviews, refferrals and advice that friends offer to shoppers.

Dealers: How many times have you heard:

"My friend says I should should get a two pump tub"
OR
"My friend has a (insert brand here) does your tub have (insert feature of that brand)"

[MellowBeerMan]

well that is why I am here....to figure out what is exactly right and best for me.

an opinion is the best I can offer, even though my wife usually does not like to hear it!

You too?

Hear it all the time.........."my friend says i should get a (insert brand here), do you carry (Insert brand here)?  It's frustrating, but we can usually still manage to give them a sales presentation, but there are times they just turn around and walk out the door when they find out we don't carry that particular brand.

Yay!  You took it as a joke!  I was afraid you hadn't, and took it as a challenge...well...in a way it was...but not malicious in any way.  After I read your post, I re-read mine, and saw where someone might get the wrong idea!

I would hate to think you thought I was flaming you!  I guess because you said we brought it on ourselves!  LOL!

Thanks for understanding!

UTS,

 Write a review of your wet tests as a thread, I did when I was trying to decide.  Then after you have your tub, and live with it a while, post a review in the REVIEW section of this site.  

After more thought, I like this idea.  We have Chas' Law,  this can be Lori's Law.    Of course at the present time, there is no way to enforce it, but we can push the idea.

I'm speechless!!!

On second thought, who am I kidding!  
I've never been speechless a day in my life!  

[Brewman]

So you came out of the chute speaking, so to speak.

That would be what they have said, Brewman!

What a great website.....

As someone who just today purchased a hot tub I would like to see a standard review.  For instance

1)  Where did you buy your tub?
2)  What did you pay for it?
3)  Pros and Cons when "testing the spa"
4)  Would you recommend the tub?
5)  I would like to see a review every three months.  Nothing extravagant .....  for instance
      A)  3 Months - No problems .... still love it
      B)  6 Months - Leaking jet.... Dealer was great/horrible etc

I plan on doing this for our new tub so maybe I can help the next person buying a tub.  This was an experience I won't soon forget.

Congrats on your purchase TC and welcome to topia duh spa. (french ya know!)

Your suggestion is good and I wish that could happen. The problem here is that not many stick around long enough to give a serious, accurate review over a longer period of time. Mostly it's "we bought, we love it" sort of stuff with some exceptions.
