I have been fixing spas for three decades, of the ones on the list, Sundance, then Hot Springs. Viking and Lazy-Boy are junk. Cheap doesn't happen because "everyone else is trying to rip you off", and looks mean nothing. Reread it, look more closely at the punctuation. The recommendation is for Sundance, then Hot Springs. (<--- see the period?). Viking and Lazy-Boy are then called "junk" My Bad....whew!

Hot Springs- junk! Really?????

fellow WNY'er here..believe me, my friend, you made an excellent choice. I bought a HS Grandee from Clover Home Leisure a few years ago and have enjoyed tubbing ever since. HS is a top-tier quality tub. Electricity cost run about an extra $30 a month in the dead of winter = full foam advantage. Tub with jets running is very quiet= full foam advantage. Researched and discovered that perimeter insulated tub plumbing is more suceptible to vibration which may lead to increased opportunities for leaks and increased jet noise. After a year my tub developed a small leak around the light under the cool down seat(small mfg sealant defect), Clover techs were out to fix the next business day, no problems since= Clover advantage. HS tubs can last for over 20 years = quality and reliability advantage. Enjoy the Holidays and Happy Tubbing!
