Many have admitted that their electrical bill DECREASED after replacing their previous spa with an Arctic. And I have no doubt this could be said of just about ANY OTHER brand of spa as well.Quote from: Summitman on February 07, 2010, 10:38:15 amAlso we highly suggest people to wet test spas before purchasing and that will usually seal the deal on the Arctic Spa if you fit them in the right model. Also certainly true of just about ANY OTHER brand of spa as well.It can definetely be SAID about any other brand, but all I know is it is TRUE with the Arctics that I sell. Tman said all he had is what dealers were telling him/her, I was just showing him/her what consumers were telling me. Thats all. Im not saying that Arctic is the end all be all of hot tubs, but they are elite as any brand out there. I've seen allot of tubs in the last 20-25 years or so of repair including Arctic. I've only worked on a couple Arctic's (not sold localy) While here in Northern Minnesota you would think they would be sold, maybe there's no market for another dealer, beats me. But from my independent investigation I would say they almost make the top 5. A decent tub, but there are better.I'm not confused at all Summ, but thanks for the pitch.

Most that have seen in person all the top spas would put Arctic among the best.

But if snippy is how you want to get, it shows your personality you know. Decent and junk are my 2 catagorys, decent can be 4 grand for a decent value tub and 8 or more for a decent top of the line. Junk can be 4 grand and 8-10 grand. So if your looking for where you fall IMO....decent, just like 10 or more other brands.If you would like my complaints against Arctic here they are. 1. They seem noisier to me than several other brands. 2. The seating seems to confining to me. 3. They are overpriced IMO, just like some other brands.
If decent is as good as it gets then great!
So, you're not going to tell us if that personal favorite brand is D1 or Hot Spring, are you? :-)

They to are overpriced. They fall about to third on my list. Just ahead of Sundance and then Arctic. But my list is for me.

I am pretty sure based on your previous posts on other forums that D1 is at the top for you. Not sure who 2 is though. I have never really heard why you think D1 is at the top. You dont have to answer, but curious minds would like to know.
