Welcome to our forum.
f you would like my opinion, I would always say to stick with the leading sellers; HotSpring, Tiger River, Sundance, Caldera. Of the smaller companies, Marquis, D1, Jacuzzi and Beachcomber seem to make nice tubs. In my opinion and the opinion of hundreds of thousands of shoppers.
tell the poor guy that 3 of the 4 above mentioned "leading sellers" are owned by the same parent company, and that 2 of the 4 are even sold by the same dealers?
