Reflections Spas, is a vaue priced line produced by Vita Spas, of Miami Florida. It is basic, but decent quality. A little better than what can be found online or from the Big Box Stores. It is made for low price points. Not a lot of frills or options. Just a few models, 2 or 3 color choices. Be sure that the dealer selling the spa is committed to the spa business and has a qualified service tech on staff. Goodluck. Dave.
I must respectfully disagree with Dave.
I own the 2006 Reflections Granada. Reflections is a probably slightly less fancy than the Vita line but it has 8 models each with 3 different levels of options with the top level having as many features as the Vita spa or in my opinion some of the other "big name" spas. There are at least 8 color options, maybe more (same colors as Vita essentially), for each spa with three different cabinet siding colors.
If you want it you can get LED lights, stereo, full foam, ozone, air blowers, aroma therapy etc. And the pumps and jets are plentiful, sufficiently varied and produce a lot of therapy power. I have 2 4hp 2 speed pumps and 1 3hp 1 speed pump plus a 24 hour circ pump. Too much power for me at full blast but just right for my girlfriend who likes it to peel the hide off. But I can turn mine down and then we are both comfortable. Better to have power and not need it than need it and not have it!
So far it has also been very energy efficient. We have not seen a spike in our power bills so far in 5 months but we live in the south and missed the coldest part of the year.
My dealer was both Vita and Reflections. I do not know if that is typical but I do know the parts between the two lines are essentially interchangeable. He could have been blowin smoke up my butt, and clearly Reflections CAN be a lower price point if you get the lower end model, but he indicated one of the reasons Reflections is branded differently is to give the company another name to bring into markets. I have no idea what this means exactly but I can say that it is vastly superior to what can be found online or in "Big Box" stores.
I bought mine this past March after wet testing it and at least a half dozen other makers. I found it equal to or superior to anything else I tested to include Hot Springs, Sundance, Jacuzzi, Bullfrog and others. It has some things I don't like but so did every other spa I tested.
I have only had it about 5 months so far but have had no problems. Would highly recommend them. Never wet tested a Madrid as I wanted a bigger spa but I believe the brand to be very reliable.
As for Dave's recommendation about the dealer I would agree. But that is true for the dealer of any brand.
