So I have a new hot tub coming and I'm wanting a new cover lift. Pretty much all the cover lifts I have had are that basic bar that goes over the cover, you fold the cover over it and swing it up and off. The problem with that is the stowed cover is always sticking way up in the air and blocking the view on one side of the tub. So I'm looking for a lift (or other device) that stows the cover without blocking the view.
The tub is out on its own so no worry with clearance issues.
I've seen the little one with fold out arms with the rollers that stores the lid next to the tub like this one.... (https://www.thecoverguy.com/products/cover-lifters/shelf-removal-systems/tcg-roller-cover-shelf/)
And then the one that sits beside the tub you pull the lid into it then fold it down.... (https://www.amazon.com/Cover-Valet-NP509-Lift-Caddy/dp/B0015Z417W/ref=pd_lpo_86_t_2/138-5821829-2932614?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0015Z417W&pd_rd_r=8796f453-0d45-4c09-ae52-89357188b8d3&pd_rd_w=wyDlM&pd_rd_wg=WG1dK&pf_rd_p=7b36d496-f366-4631-94d3-61b87b52511b&pf_rd_r=CEMCCRF0N2CS3TCB42CR&psc=1&refRID=CEMCCRF0N2CS3TCB42CR)
And then I just found this one, which is that basic bar with a twist... (https://hottubspasource.com/products/vision-lift-spa-cover-lifter)
I am leaning toward the last one, a bit more expensive but seems stronger and thus more durable, the first one seems a little cheesy, and the middle one doesn't look very strong, so I'm hoping someone here might have some first hand experience with one.. or maybe something I haven't seen yet! Remember it needs to be unobtrusive and not spoil my view.
Thanks
