As others have stated, I bought it because of the assurance of quality.
First, maybe it works if you live above the Arctic Circle, but in the mountains of Utah it overheats internally. Arctic knows of the problem, and after an attempt to get a remedy from the factory, I was told to leave a panel off the tub in the summer! Yeah, little kids and skunks love this idea. They now offer some sort of shutter system, Do I get it, of course not unless I pay for their obviously defective design.
I'm not going to bore you with all the things that have gone wrong in 5 years of ownership, but I'm now Mr. Hot tub around my house, can't let the dealer's "tech" people near the tub unless I just want more trouble and bigger bills. I think the whole industry needs oversight. These tubs ain't cheap, and they are of remarkably poor quality, and I don't just mean Arctic.

Date Purchased: 5/08
Price Paid: $8000
Recommend: No
Pros:
It's better than the last brand I owned, if you can believe it!

Cons:
If my wife didn't need it due to her physical issues, I wouldn't have any of them. Second pump just rebuilt, second heater just replaced.

Well what can I say..I have a Arctic Spa hot tub and the surface acrylic is all cracking up. I was told how good this product is by the salesman but clearly he was not truth full. I would not recommend an Arctic Spa tub.

Date Purchased: 09 2006
Price Paid: $8000
Recommend: No
Cons:
The product is not long lasting.

Run the other way! Sales person said it was plug n play. Its not. They also said its a 2 person tub...its not. It overflows with the amount of water needed to NOT get a flow error. (loud sucking noise-no air) It will hold 1 regular size person and the water still is up to your chin. Its a terrible design and should be taken off the market. Buyer beware!

Date Purchased: july 2012
Price Paid: $3400
Recommend: No
Pros:
compact, easy to clean

Cons:
Will only fit 1 regular size person, filter basket is too low so it overflows with 2, not plug and play, pump is weak...there's nothing good about this tub.

When I was looking for a hot tub, I spent a lot of time on the internet looking for reviews, etc., so that is why I am taking the time to post this review. Have had my Arctic Spa for just about two years now - purchased May 2010. BEST decision ever. This is one "TOY" I will never regret buying. Total cost was around $13,000. Upgraded to the ozone technology - worth it. Light package - love it. Considered the salt water generator - dealer wasn't behind it, YET. He's waiting for them to fine tune the process - still was concerned with it affecting jets, pumps. When he's sure, then I think I will proceed with that as well. Power consumption really isn't a big issue. Only change water one to two times max per year - ozone makes the difference, plus there is only two in our household, and one doesn't use it hardly at all.

Date Purchased: May 2010
Price Paid: $13000
Recommend: Yes
Pros:
everything - love the seating plan of the Summit model - 3 large armchairs and one lounge area; great jets; led lights; one waterfall; simplicity of chemicals - dealer is great although I only have had to bug him once - in first month one light needed replaced. We get to minus 30 and minus 40 celsius, and no problem. I don't usually go out then, but have gone out frequently at -20. We upgraded our deck - above ground; reinforced obviously, and the hot tub is on the deck, right outside my french doors. LOVE it.

Cons:
can't think of any yet - honestly.
