Received the hot tub within 15 days of ordering- much more quickly than anticipated. I had a previous Aquarest model & it appears the company continues to improve their tubs with each re-design. This one has a slightly slimmer profile & is significantly quieter, though the cover is not as heavy. Set up is very simple- just add water/chemicals & turn it on. As others have stated, I recommend giving the delivery guys a little extra cash to place it where you intend to keep it. Not expecting this to rival a 6k tub, but hoping to at least get 2-3 years of enjoyment from it.
