What Brand Is The Most Reliable

[Mr Ed]

Just starting to do research into hot tubs. I have never owned one before but my wifes medical condition is forceing up to buy one. I of course will have her try out any tub before we buy. What I am looking for is a 4-5 person tub that is powerful enough to give a good massage to 2 people at once, is quiet, and reliable. I am just starting my research so any help will be appreciated.

That is a loaded question, no matter how good a manufacture is we all have warranty departments. If you stick with one of the major manufacturers the odds are in your favor that you will little to no problems.

Here is a list of what I think are some of the top spa makers in the industry. These links should put you at the dealer locator sections of their websites where you can enter your zip code to see who is local to you:

There are more certainly (some good, some not so good) but those above probably make more than half of the spas sold in the US. Visit 3, 4 or 5 of the closest and see what you like. It's always best to wet test to find the spa that fits and feels best to you but you at least want to compare rather than buy the first one you see. Good luck.

thats probably a good list, I dont like artic on there with no foam and cedar skirt, but I would agree with that.

sundance

hot springs

d1

after those three there is a drop off

I have heard Nordic is good and doesnt break, but who wants a round tub?
