So I went to Red Deer/Sylvan on Friday to check out all the hot tub places. Arctic Spa did seem to have the best built tub, but the salesman seemed more interested in bashing his competition than selling me a hot tub. I guess he must have realized that I wasn't going to spend 10K+ on a hot tub, so might as well bash his competition as much as he could.
The dealer in Sylvan only had one Sun Ray Spa in, so I decided to go to Edmonton on Saturday to check them out there. They had an ad on kijiji with 4 hot tubs from $3300 to $7800, so I wanted to buy one as they seemed like a really good deal. The salesman asked me early on what brought me here, so I told him about the ad. He had no idea what I was talking about and asked me for a copy of the ad. After about 20 minutes and showing me all their products, he asked me what I wanted to do. I told him I was interested in one of the ones from the ad. He then tried to upsell me to a better hot tub in every possible way, going so far as to call me cheap for only wanting a lower end tub with "pretty much no jets". Needless to say, I walked out without a hot tub. I thought any sale was a good sale? He pretty much drove me right out the door. BUYER BEWARE!
