Wow, I have a artic Spa and love it, I have referred 3 friends and they have purchased one, Artic has been great from day one they stand behind there product, the only issue I've had is to change the Electrode on the Onzen which I can do myself, I prefer changing a Electrode every year then Screwing with a floater and pucks, as for China take a look around you man, everything is made in China, for instance Apple (Mac) oh yaa you think thats **** to? what other owners would monitor forums and help any one with a issue personally?? now go to Walmart your favorite store and find something made in Canada>
