First thing in the morning while the salesmen is still sleepy.

When it's hot out!

I would say in the fall. I have been gearing up for a purchase as well and have signed up to receive e-mails from various manufacturers and reps. and from what I have seen, the Fall sales are the best. also, you obviously have the opportunity to purchase end of year models as well as floor samples.

I don't know what time of year is best, but if you have "Home Show" in your area, you can get GREAT deals if you sign up during the show.

Thanks for the info. I checked some other sites too and it looks like the best time is the fall.

Thats when most dealers try to rotate the old inventory out and bring in the new. Some suggested November as the best month.

Most said to never buy a hot tub in January. Big purchases should never be made during tax refund season.

We are starting to plan out the layout for the backyard now. It won't be finished until the fall so it's perfect timing.

Thanks again.
