Having a easy to use spa was my number one goal. I'm very happy with my spa but only giving hot tub liquidators a two star rating because I was told a hydro lift cover would be installed, turns out my spa can't handle the hydro lift due to pipes where screws would be. They had to put in a manual cover lifter, which they say is as good but it definitely is not as easy in my opinion. Going to do some more research on the difference but buyer beware of cover mix ups / miss leading sales of covers. Also the premium lights package are very bright hopefully coast spas will dim this on future models.
