Hot Spot By Hotspring

[msaat]

Hi...My husband and I have just started our search and luckily I ran across this forum. Great info on here! We had no idea at all in regards to hot tub pricing, and ignorantly thought we could get something of quality for around $4,000. Ha...we weren't very informed. We are now willing to considerably up our spending price in order to get a quality spa. but just wondering if anyone has had any experience or info with the brand "Hot Spot" by Hotspring. We were told it is made by Watkins, who also makes Hotspring. We were just wondereing if this would be a little more economical, and yet still get a quality tub...or if we should bite the bullet and spend more on a more quality tub for the long run? Thanks for any help!! We are open to any suggestions, as we really aren't sure of what is out there. Just starting to learn of all the options, etc.! (overwhelming amt of info, btw)

IMO Hot Spring is a very good brand, on my persoanl short list along with Caldera, D1, Jacuzzi and Sundance. The Hot Springs are Watkins' premium brand but as you noted they make the Hot Spot for those looking to spend $5.5k or $6.5k. The HotSpot will have less bells and whistles and a shorter warranty but the quality will be fine.

There is no right or wrong when comparing getting a quality made spa for $10k versus a similar sized but less featured one at around $6k, it comes down to what you want/need/can afford. Take a look what they have; compare the Hot Spring to the Hot Spot but go with whichever is right for you.
