I want to first say we enjoy our barefoot spa very much over 12 years of owning it. Using it for stress relief and just general relaxation has been a pleasure. After we first bought it, we stopped using it often. Then, after a while, we started back in to it and we use it several times a week. We plan to get a new one soon and will stick with this brand. I saw some other ones I like, but I don’t want to risk it and end up with a lemon of a hot tub. Will stay with a brand that I know will stand the test of time, and has the durability my family and I require.
