“Never had a desire to own one before, had been in many and seen many but none of them had been a Hot Spring spa. After visiting a showroom on a whim we discovered how different they were from the others. The quality of the product was much higher than so many others and that also showed in the warranty coverage. At first, the price seemed high but after comparing with other lower quality brands it turned out to be well worth the little extra money. We used it nearly every day the first one and it is still the highlight of the day. Wish we hadn’t waited so long to discover this life!”
