Hot Tub & Spa
Ratings, Consumers Buying
Guide and Information


"HELP! What's the best hot tub or spa? Why hasn't Consumer Reports come out with a hot tub or spa rating guide? Where are the honest hot tub and spa ratings? It's all so confusing shopping for a hot tub or spa, shopping for a used car is easier!"

CALM DOWN! Take a deep breath and relax...... According to the National Spa & Pool Institute there are approximately five million hot tubs and spas in use in the USA. Now that you're here things should get a little easier for you. Hopefully we can help you become #5,000,001.... OK, feeling a little better?

Of all the different aspects to look at and considered when shopping for a spa or hot tub, there are two things that should be considered as most important.

  1. Comfort in the Spa:
    No matter how good or high a quality the spa may be, if you're not comfortable in it you wont be happy with it. The main reason most people get a hot tub is for relaxation and enjoyment. This is a bit difficult to accomplish in a spa that's not comfortable to be in. The only real way to tell the comfort of a spa is to test it with water in it. Wet test! What may feel comfortable, or even uncomfortable dry, will feel completely different full of water with the effects of buoyancy.
  2. Dealer Trust and integrity:
    The dealer you get a spa from can be as important or even more important that the manufacturer of the spa. It's the dealer that will have the best advise of care, and the dealer that will be providing timely service and taking care of warranty issues. The longer a dealers been in business the more likely they will go the extra mile to keep their customers happy. The length of time a dealer has carried a particular brand of spa can also be of importance. Sticking whit the same brand for a long time can generally indicate a great satisfaction with that brand and the level of support provided by the manufacturer.

 

There are a great many hot tub choices available. In fact there's well over 100 different spa manufacturers throughout the USA (and of course each thinks they're the best). This means there's surely something for every lifestyle and every space. Explore your options before buying, take stock of what's most important to you and you'll be certain to get the spa perfectly suited for your needs.
