Yes, I have a Marquis Mirage that I had installed in January 2011. We love it and use it nightly. There are lots of great jets and comfortable seats. It's very energy efficient. We find the quality to be excellent. We've had no problems at all. We use the natural water conditioner rather than bromine and chlorine although we use dichlor a few times a week and sometimes a non-chlorinated shock. My electric bill might have gone up $10-15 a month, tops. We hooked it up to 220v rather than use 110. I don't keep it that hot, 100-101 through the winter and 97-98 now that it's warmer. I do live in a very moderate climate, though. Our winter temperatures are in the 40's. We got a floor model for $6395 total. It had an ozonator and constellation lights as an upgrade. We did add the cover lift and stairs for an extra $300. Installation was included although we did pay the ferry charge for the truck since we live on an island that is accessed only by ferry. ($125 round trip) Hope that helps in your decision. I just wish we had bought ours sooner! Hey, Thanks so much for the info!.... still contemplating rather or not I should bite the bullet now, or wait til next year (which was the original plan)... One other question I had on the Mirage, is how many people does it fit "comfortably" without feeling to cramped?... I usually use my tub alone, but on a rare occasion, might have 3/4 people over for a soak.... I can't really consider a larger tub, due to lack of space...... Thanks again! It's rated to hold 5 people but will fit 4 comfortably. My husband and I use it every night but will have company in a few weeks so will let you know how it works with more people in it. The Mirage is curved and fits on our deck between two posts from our balcony above. I don't know how to post a picture of it! Maybe I could email you directly.
