Hi there,

Just wondering did you end up buying a tub yet and if so which one did you end up going with? 

PJRath:
Hi guys.  We pulled the trigger on the Sundance Chelsee two weeks ago.  It arrives Oct 19th.   My wife and I wet tested it along with the others and we really liked the way the Chelsee fit us - the variability of the jets and seats, it seems well-built, and the dealer has been around for +25 years.   It was close with the HotSprings unit, but that dealer just didn't impress us as being terribly knowledgeable about his product - although a very nice guy.  And the Sundance was less expensive too.  Finally, our good friends and neighbors down the street have a Sundance and they love it, with no problems so far anyway (pretty new, just 2 years old).

We've poured a concrete pad, landscaped around the area, and the 220 V line is buried, hooked up and all set to go.   Just waiting for delivery.   I had back surgery last year and am currently sporting a hard cast for recent wrist surgery (tore a ligament) which comes off the day before the spa arrives.  Recently retired, so looking forward to some 'therapy' (although my college son who's not far away at Berkeley seems to think we bought it for him and his buddies!

Appreciate all your help
Paul

Andocrx:
Congrats Paul,

Give us an update once it arrives and you have used it for some time would love to hear how your enjoying it. The chelsee is one of the models we like along with the Optima but I dont think the optima is in our budget.   

PJRath:
Thanks.  We wet tested the Optima at the same time as the Chelsee.   I really liked the "captain's chair" in the Optima - the jets were awesome.   But the other seats weren't as compelling and it was something like $3k more than the Chelsee.   We liked the Chelsee quite a bit and figured it wasn't worth the extra cash for the Optima.   Wet testing really does help the decision.

One correction to my note above:   I don't yet have the delivery date for the Chelsee - i was confusing it with a Sleep Number bed that we also just bought (and the bed delivers Oct 19).  I'll hopefully find out tomorrow what the Chelsee delivery date will be.  Was quoted for 4-6 weeks from ordering - and that was 2 weeks ago, so we'll see.

Congrats, great purchase! you will love it!
