I've been shopping and shopping and shopping for a hot tub, we looked at so many different vendors and the best bang for the buck we found locally seemed to be a 2006 display model at LA Spas, it had all the extras we wanted and the price was right, so we bought it. It hasn't arrived yet and I was doing some more online research and stumbled upon some reviews (which are hard to find, in general for hot tubs) and they were all really really bad. So now I'm really nervous that I just bought a junk hot tub, does anyone here have an LA Spa or have any comments in regards to them? Good or bad, I guess....
LA Spas... any comments?

I personally can't comment on LA spas because I am not familiar with them. There are a couple of LA owners that frequent this site and they seem to be happy with their tubs. I would imagine that they are a good middle of the road tub and I don't think you should worry

Someone didnt do their home work :-[ and I smell a fight 
We've had an LA Spa for 4 years now, and have absolutely no complaints. If you wet tested and liked it better than others, and it fits your budget, then don't worry, you didn't buy a junk hot tub IMHO. Don't know that I've ever seen an LA review that was "really, really bad". We wet tested a bunch of tubs and ended up with the LA and no regrets.

Everything,
Congratulations!
You can find bad reviews for any tub, so don't worry about it. More people respond if something bad goes wrong on a tub than when things are a-ok.
I'm sure what ever tub you chose was the right one for you and that's all that really matters.
What model did you purchase?
When is delivery and I(we) would like to see some pics if possible, once you get things set-up?

Welcome to spatopia
Well thank you everyone for putting my mind to ease!
I bought the HEET, loaded with upgrades, did not wet test since I really didn't know I could. This was my first spa purchase to go along with the first house I own, and nearly purchased on the one year anniversary from the date my wife and I moved in.
Still need to get the 220 line run and I'm re-doing my patio with flagstone this week so it should be late next week when it finally gets installed. Have to have it crane lifted in because it is too big for the access gate to my yard.
So back to wet testing, we seriously could have taken a bathing suit in and hopped in the spa in the store? Doesn't anyone feel weird doing that? I guess I should feel weird not, but still... didn't think that was a normal practice of hot tub purchasing - like I said, first time spa buyer.

That's our favorite part of this whole quest for the perfect spa! 2 feet of snow (check) four wheel drive (check) swimming suits (check) and WET TEST!
My husband said last night that the only thing that would make it more fun would be to drag a six pack along with us.
I wonder if anyone has tried THAT!
Congrats on your purchase!!

My love, hast thou not heard with thine own ears? 'Tis a far better thing to ply your farthings with a merchant thus manifested with likened spirits and bountiful mead than be put upon to bring thy own! It doth make my head twitter when I think of thy angst, my love, in dealing with such wretched souls! Seek ye towards th' South, and the ray of light that shines from thence, to see the blessed splendour that illuminates thine heart and warms thy very blood....

It is already purchased, right?
I personally enjoyed my wet testing of the LA spas, except that I was too short to fit well in some of the seats.
They are a well regarded brand, and I think that the HEET is one of their "snazzier" tubs, so just enjoy it!!!!!!

Yeah, already purchased. In all honesty I got upsold a little bit on the HEET, but that was mostly my wife's fault because she was recently in a car accident and has a lot of back problems and this tub has this one seat with 30 some odd jets going up and down either side of the spine as well as jets that shoot down from out of the water onto your neck, so she got all excited about that seat, in fact, I don't think I'll ever get to use it myself.

Well, if you're concerned about comfort, but happy with the brand and the dealer, I wonder if it would be possible to go talk to him about this. The tub is ordered but not delivered, right? Maybe go to your dealer and say, "look, i guess I should have researched this a bit more before purchasing- could I wet test NOW before taking delivery?" Maybe another model will feel better, and maybe he'd be willing to order you something else if that is the case. Now, the danger is, that if you find you dont like the HEET or anything else in his store.....that will be a problem.
I really dont think you'll *dislike* it, and it should be a quality tub.
Where's Bama? She loves her LA tub.
Thanks for the advice but what I was most concerned about was leaking, or just a bad brand or no warranty support. So knowing that there are others on here and that are happy with their LA Spa makes me feel a lot better, my wife and I are both of pretty average size and shape and we fit in everything we've ever been in pretty comfortably, this HEET has a ton of jets so I'm sure we don't have anything to worry about there.
Here I am, Anne!!!
Yes, you are right....I love my LA Spa!!!!!!!
As it turns out, two of the eight seats are my favorites. One favorite is one of the lounge seats, ahhhhh! I just lay there while the jets pound my back, hips, legs, and feet.
The other seat has jets all the way from the SI joint, hips, lumbar, thorasic, and cervical spine, in addition, the jets wrap over my shoulders and giving them a spanking too!
I like it rough and my LA Spa delivers! ;D
Congrats folks on your LA Spa purchase!
