My first post, I've been reading this forum for a week and see some great advice for a novice like myself as i think about upgrading from the portable hot tub that I own. I'm considering Caldera, D1, Tiger River and Marquis. I did contact Thermospa but I do not like their business model -- I am not buying a product that I can't wet test. This isn't as easy as buying a car because there is very little pricing information available up-front, so it is hard to independently compare and contrast products. Besides a site like this, are there any places I can go on the web to research spas and hot tubs that are not advocates for the dealers?, i.e. A Consumer Reports type of site? I'm looking for sources that can give me information that will help me decide if the price is right, the warranty is good, the product is reliable, etc. The other part of my research will involve evaluating the dealer and I plan to start with the BBB and go from there.
