Hey everyone,I'm looking for a spa for the first time. Wow, tons of brands to pick from. I'm liking the three brands below. Thoughts or comments from these brands? Can one get a good quality spa for 7k? Leaning towards NO lounger after further research. I want something spacious but not huge. Does anyone have a specific model that might work for me? Quality for the best value is where I'm at. Thanks ahead! CalderaHotspringClearwater

CalderaHotspringClearwaterWell, I would look at the HotSpring and Caldera personally. The HotSpring Prodigy might fit your requirements. There are also other lines from the same manufacturer you could look at like Tiger River and Limelight that might work for you also. Hope this helps.
Thanks Dark rider! Great info. Can I ask how much you paid for the Grandee? I'm always drawn back to that model as well. I wet tested the Vangaurd and the Moto massage is very nice! I was quoted 10,000 all in but cash only. I would need to finance half of it for sure. I even looked into financing two years zero interest but the dealer wants to jack the price up 2 grand for 2 years financing. Is this a common practice for spa dealers? We just purchased a new house and installed a backyard from scratch so financing is the only option right now. Anyway, just looking for a solid price range. Thanks.
the spa die in 7 years. .
We paid $5700 for our new Columbia Spas Teton model - single 5 hp 2 speed jet motor, 25 jets, dual air injection, recirc & ozone with a Gecko control system. Delivered and placed in the final location. We picked the colors of the shell, skirt and cover from a large palette; it was built to order.It has one light, no waterfalls, no stereos, no televisions, no other gizmos or do-dads. We looked at HS spas and many many other brands for $8-$12K and decided we just didn't want to drop the bucks on something that expensive. We considered going the used route but decided to get new one for a couple reasons - to support our local supplier, and for the warranty. The tub is manufactured right here in Oregon so we are supporting our local economy from manufacturer to supplier to owner. If you like supporting big storefronts, go ahead, but it's certainly one thing that really turned us off on the big marquee brands.
