Thanks guys! I’d also like to know what opinions of Chris others agree with? I just purchased a Hot Spring Grandee, and Chris does a great job of tearing them apart as a mid-level product designed to fail with a list of reasons to never buy. Based on feedback from this site I thought Hot Spring was a solid performer...if not one of the better tubs.

Here's his last YouTube video. I think it would be great if Chris stopped by here and said hi. We could have some good discussions I'm sure. At the end of the day, we all just want to be in hot water LOL.....

He talks about buying from a tub with good insulation. Specifically full foam. He’s a big proponent of icynene foam which is good. I think polyeutherine and fiber core is just as good. Problem with his stance is Master is not full foam at least on ones I’ve seen and pictures from on here. Also thinks he brings up good points on bases of hot tubs. If a hot tub is built good it doesn’t matter if it’s wood or Full enclosed ABS pan. Plenty I don’t agree with him on but that website is there to sell master Spas. It’s not some independent guy it’s a master spa dealer. John the grandee is a great tub. You will get years of enjoyment out of it

I've been in the Hot Tub industry for 16 years and I can tell you unequivocally a Hot Spring beats Master Spas in every facet from insulation, construction, side panel quality, topside control quality, factory support, parts availability, etc....EVERYTHING except maybe lighting, you know why? because they have to put 100 lights in a Master so they can sell that crap for 9-11K out of a parking lot or convention center

This youtube review is about the worst I've ever seen. He was not happy because Marquis would not let him tour the factory because he was not a dealer. This is a revenge review.
If he is this unprofessional I would steer clear of any advice he provides. Everything he recommends is sold on his site.
