Here we go again............round 3........ding ding!! ;D

Reminds me of the Accolade. :-/ Did they just make adjustments to the Accolade and call it a Limelight? Sorry, but I think this one is a miss. I really like the other two.
-
Oops. Now I saw your first line. Guess I'm not the only one who thinks that way.
-
Actually, people were attracted to the size and shape of the Accolade. What made it a loser was it was featured wrong and priced wrong.
-
Very true i sold the only 2 in my store and many people loved it because it was a deep spa that really rocked but it was WAY over priced.
This is a little smaller and shorter and obviously less expensive than the Accolade so they should sell.
-
It appears to have an odd looking and somewhat cramped design.

LOL, I think someone needs to post a pic that isn't smushed!

At least they moved the control panel.
I agree the number one problem with the Accolade was price. Hard to justify charging more for that spa than a Vanguard. Even Scotty's training couldn't get folks over that hurdle.

Here it is, with less smushification.

Thanks Chas

Now that the smushification is cleared, hopefully any comparison between Accolade and Glow can be recognized as ridiculous.
The Accolade was indeed a well featured, spacious and comfortable 4-person spa. It never pretended to be anything else. Every argument I have heard for trashing that model is just plain sad. In fact, for the few people who could find a dealership that had one to buy and purchased that model will, in the far future, be hard to sell any of today’s current offerings to replace.
The Glow appears to be the small model to round out the Limelight line (provided that those folks are finished at three models in that lineup!). Small models are what they are: small models. But this one is by far the most shocking introduction in memory. Can you imagine a spa only 5% larger than the Sumatran, but with power of an Envoy and no diverter valve head loss? You will be feeling this spa long after you get out of it!

I like the design but the jetting is far from impressive. Too many bullet jets for me personally and I find they offer little value from a massage point of view. What's the pricing coming in at for this unit?

YAWN.......SNORE......TIRESOME

Umm those spas LOOK pretty much just like one another.... and yes the spa was pretty well featured.....except for the lack of a second pump and no leg room and the extremely high price tag..... thats why it was dumped..... and now we have a smaller more powerful V.2 with an easier on the wallet price.

You guys are HotSpring dealers, right? I am surprised at this reaction, because we have never seen the likes of this before in our HotSpring showroom. I do have a clear understanding of the conservation principal that would dictate the arrangement of 4 people in this size footprint, so it is the only logical layout. The paradigm shift comes from the geometrical transitions between seats, the bevels followed by strings of lighting, the footwell detail, and the flow of the bartop that spills into the interior. All coupled with a cohesive look across the Limelight series. I have also wet soaked this model and I am telling you, it will blow you away.

LOL, you're right, the Coleman 461 looks to be in the same spa range but does that put it in the "YAWN.......SNORE......TIRESOME" category as well? ;D
-
Tech.....you understand my point completely. It is a very crowded segment.
-
Why doesn't HS just put more powerful pumps into their premier line? The game would be over.
-
why would they need to?

Because Tim Allen is shopping for a spa.
