Ask 'Dr. Spa' Q & A Message Board

: I have a 2004 MasterSpas LSX that I have thoroughly enjoyed for 2+
: years. Please read my review on it here at Doc's review page.

: I would suggest to you to concentrate on the therapy of each tub.
: Contrary to what another poster on this thread says, I found the LSX
: therapy to completely blow away the Vanguard's therapy....and, yes, I
: wet tested both before buying. But, once again understand that it is
: not how the therapy feels to me or to other posters, it is how it
: feels to you. If you find the therapy is the same, then go with the
: dealer you feel most comfortable with. If both dealers give you warm,
: fuzzies, then go with the least expensive. Both are fine tubs.

: One more point: another poster mentioned something about a written
: guarantee regarding the HS energy usage. I HIGHLY doubt that one
: exists in the way that poster described it. There is no way any tub
: manufacturer can guarantee monthly electrical usage costs for their
: tubs in the same way that the poster contends....there are just way
: too many variables. Please don't put any stock in broad sweeping
: assertions like those. With that said, I estimate my monthly energy
: usage to be between $25-$40....around a buck a day with the usage
: mine experiences.

: Good luck with your choice.

I HIGHLY recommend you go and visit the dealer directly and experience it for yourself.
