SaltyD Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I just saw a Sundance Hartford floor model with stereo for $8095, but had thought about purchasing a Hot Spot Tempo for $6200. The Sundance comes with extras which would cost me for the Tempo so I'm gonna assume prices will be roughly the same. I know Hot Spot is the lower line of HotSprings, but I'm wondering if it compares well to the Sundance, or if I should bite the bullet and go for the Sundance? The Tempo has the lounger which I like but more people will fit in the Sundance model. All these comparisons are so confusing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo217 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 What extras? The two tubs are both in their respective entry line series. If its just a stereo I would say go with the tempo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyD Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 The Sundance Hartford comes with a cover, chemicals, a cover lifter, has the clean ray ozone generator, built-in stereo, LED lights, and free delivery as well as free water tests, and also comes out after we've set up the spa to show us usage. The Hot Spot Tempo comes with a cover, but the cover lifter is extra and I can't upgrade the filter system, but I do get free delivery and lights.....however, the dealer is further away and not just a pool and spa dealer. I'm sure the Tempo might run me a bit cheaper - I can always buy a sound system for the deck, but I'm wondering if the Sundance is a better name and worth the extra $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo217 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 As far as quality they are on par with each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyD Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 The Hartford can sit 7, the Tempo has the lounger which cuts down on seats. So if they're on par, do you think the lounger is a selling point? Do people typically like the lounger or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo217 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 You either love lounges or they are a waste of space. If wet testing is not an option I would say go with the non lounger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielWalker Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Sundance wll be a good option I think. I have bought mine three years ago and is still working well. It will be better to purchase a spa cover and a sundance cover lifter along with this. It will help you to maintain the device for a long time.
