New to hot tubs - need Hot Springs advice

<< < (2/2)

Maine-iac:
I agree - the Prodigy will fit 4 adults but you will not be as comfortable in it as you would be in the Aria or the Vanguard. When you look at them again look at the height of the seats.  The Prodigy seats are practically on the floor and the seats of the V and A are much higher.  Its like sitting on a pillow vs sitting on the couch.  Your knees bend and take up less space in the area for the feet. Plus there are no foot jets in the Prodigy, these are my personal favorites.  When I bought my HotSpring Envoy 10 yrs ago the dealer filled the hot tubs so that I could test soak and compare.  Is that an option?  Don't worry about the kids right now, they won't sit down much at that age.  Later on when they are older and bigger you may be glad you got the roomer Vanguard. My 10 year old Envoy is still like brand new - looks and works great!

Our local Hot Spring dealer did not have a Prodigy in the showroom so we are strictly going off of what we have seen online. Given the feedback on this thread though I think we are going to scratch this one off the list. They had a Vanguard in the showroom but it wasn't filled and that's our current dilemma (parting with 14k for something we have never sat in). Our sales rep explained though that the Vanguard is an Aria with no lounger so if we liked the Aria during our wet test that we can expect the same satisfaction with the Vanguard. We went ahead and put a deposit down on the Vanguard to lock in our price but he will move the deposit to the Aria if we feel it would work better for us.

Ask them to fill the Vanguard.  They might be able to just move the water from one spa to another with a sump pump.  Just sit in it without power to get the feel of the seats. Jets will be about the same.  You will love either one!

Thanks everyone for the advice. We put our order in for the Vanguard and it should be delivered in 4-6 weeks.
