Spocks Brain

I pulled the trigger and bought a California Cooperage Model 102 Spa last Friday. It will be delivered as soon as my house is repainted. It offers the choice of 110v vs 220v connection. The dealer strongly suggests the 220 option. Understandable, since I live in the mountains of Colorado. I got this small model because it's for me for hydrotherapy issues and I have no desire to have a party spa. I considered a Free Flo Crossfire (which was almost $1K less) but the dealer convinced me that the Coleman spas are superior. After dealing with the Thermospas Rep, the local dealer was a pleasure to work with. I work with several people who have done business with him and all state that he sells good merchandise and is good when having service issues. Soooo. Anybody want to tell me about their experiences with Coleman spas? The Maax spas were larger, the Cooperage was the size I wanted and seems to have a pretty good warrenty. Any stories and advice is welcomed. If I made a mistake buying this model, please let me know now. I can have it for 30 days and if I'm not satisfied, he'll take it back and put the entire amount of $$$ towards another mdel or brand of spa that he sells. Thanks in advance.

New member here. Consinder your good deed of the day done. I lurked here a couple of days ago since I was shopping for a spa. I had the Thermospa's rep give me the 90 minute sales pitch, I played their DVD. The 'no pressure' sales rep was doing his best to sell me a spa much larger than I wanted. I gave him my target range of price, he doubled it, all while 'looking out for my best interest'. I never buy anything on first sight (anymore). I always take a 48 hour "cooling down" period of time and research my pending purchase. I read this thread, then other places on the web - very few positive things are said about Thermospas. That did it and convinced me to buy a spa locally from a place that has been in business for 28 years. I ended up buying a California Cooperage 102 spa yesterday. It was in my price range and the dealer told me to take it for 30 days, if I don't like it he will refund 100% of my money. He put in writing, so I'm sure I'm getting a quality spa for my needs. But yeah, the Thermospas rep sure painted a picture of a family owned business that employed only America citizens and bought only American-made parts, explaining the "slightly higher cost" of a spa. "Buy this spa and you're feeding American workers," is an exact quote from the rep. Thanks for the warning. It may have saved me from making a $$$ mistake.
