Since Ive owned the Barefoot Spas PL8 I have had no problems, and the performance of the machine is great! I’ve had it for about 3 years. I would recommend this brand to friends and family for sure. I’ve had other hot tubs in the past and this one is far superior. The durability of this product is exceptional. I have it in my patio in my backyard and it looks wonderful! My friends always give me compliments when they come over. I’ll never forget when my neighbor said it looks like a space ship.. Guess it kinda does. I feel like I’m in space when Im in it! It def does the jb in the right ways 🙂 The cost of the spa is slightly more expensive then I wanted. Just over 14k, but I still think it was worth every penny! I remember when I bought it, I was worried I was overpaying, but now I don’t really care. Im just glad I got a spa that makes me feel good, and is this reliable… even in the winter!
