Has anyone used these folks to select and install a hot tub?  They're paying me an in home visit next week . . .

Is this a dealer or the manufacturer sending an area rep for an in home consultation?

They don't have the best reputation, usually have poor insulation, questionable warranty and lackluster jets. They also tend to be overpriced for what you can get a quality Spa from a reputable dealer. Reports are they are not the most energy efficient and have mediocre plumbing. Can you sit in one or wet test one? If no, run, don't walk away. Avoid the typical high pressure, buy it now at this special price and when he calls his "manager"  to say he can give you a slightly better deal because you rejected his first offer, show him the door. You want to buy from a dealer that you can feel good about, someone with a great reputation and you can call or visit with questions or a problem.

The only way to buy a hot tub is to test, test and test. Seating positions, seat formation, seat depth are all important considerations for an investment like a hot tub. This is a 10+ year investment and you are taking a gamble buying sight unseen.

I rejected a visit from a semi local dealer simply because they went to a virtual showroom but would come to the house to discuss purchasing. They had a brand that I wanted to see (Sundance) but the virtual viewing followed by an in home presentation was a no go.

patd:
Thanks.  I'm not gonna bother with them.

cranbiz:
I think that's a wise choice. There are too many better options out there from great dealers.

You probably will have to wait on it but the perfect tub is out there for you.

RUN!!!
