Welcome to our forum.
On Sunday morning, before the store opens to the public, we're going to do wet-tests in the Sundance Maxxus and a few others . The saleslady says that the seats and jets in the Maxxus are identical to what are in the Optima and the Cameo. Has anyone tried the Maxxus AND the others who could give me their impression? We're also going to test the Tiger River Caspian, the Hot Springs Vanguard and the Hot Springs Envoy. I sat in the (dry) Cameo, and that lounge was really comfortable, as was one of the corner seats.We're just now beginning the actual testing. We've been reading online about the tubs and I've been checking folks' impressions here. It's been really helpful. We're gonna check out a Dimension 1 Californian tomorrow, and a Caldera Tahitian, which the salesman told my hubby was very similar in feel to the Geneva, which he has, but not filled with water.
Every salesperson we have talked to has told us that less than 10% of the people wet test. How will the buyer know if one has the "IT" factor over the other. THIS is a prime example for wet testing.
Wisoki, maybe I tend to over shop and research, but being a school teacher my $$ is hard to come by. That being said, I would never buy a car before a test drive to be sure that it handled the way I expected, so why in the world would I spend $8000 + on anything without trying it out first?? I guess there are people out there with money trees!! Must be nice!!
Wet testing is a pehenomena created by HotSprig. They have their dealers waste an inordinant ammount of show room square footage to a "mood room" effectivly reducing the ammount of product they can display and increasing the cost of show room operations.

Just one in the many factors that make HS spas WAY over priced. Less than 5% of my customers ever wet test, and I'd bet money it's more like 1.5% that do, even though I make the offer, and it hasn't adversly affected my sales, nor has ANY customer EVER come back and said they were sorry they didn't wet test, cuz this spa just sucks. Wet testing IMHO is just a way for customers to get a free soak before buying. If you are a floater, you are going to float in any lounge seat in any spa. And you'll float in the other seats too. Unless it's Caldera, that is, and there is a reason for that. Yeah, yeah, I know, I sell Caldera, but you have to admit, the 2 ir three tired foot ridges in the lounges is a good idea and the foot ridges in the bottoms of the spas too. No matter where you sit, there's a place to anchor yourself into the seat. This isn't so much an unabased plug for Caldera, as it is a comentary about wet testing. Also, I've had a couple of Jack and Diet Cokes, tonight, but go ahead, bring on the flames! Â
