After a little research I found that this spa would be great for a first time spa owner as myself with a great price and easy install. Boy was I right, me and my wife absolutely love this spa. I was a little concerned about the long shipping estimate I received but the spa arrived two weeks earlier than predicted. There also wasn't an option to have it delivered directly to my backyard but I was able to pay the delivery guy a little tip to help me move it so that was great. The instructions are very straight forward and easy to follow and the spa is easy to use. I am extremely satisfied with this spa and the whole purchasing to delivery process.
