We wanted a very basic but functional American made spa. Our last one was imported from China (I think, definitely not American made), and it was a piece of junk. We dont care about all the water spouts and fancy lights. Controls are easy, and spa is easy to maintain. We had a slow start with getting the spa here and with contacting the right people to hook it up, but now all is well, and we’re loving it. I am a contractor by trade and I can tell this is a well built product. I talked to a few folks at Barefoot Spas and learned a lot. We are very impressed and happy now with our spa!
