If I could give a half-star, I would. We purchased a Smart Top Hybrid Vanish XL (made by Leisure Concepts, for $7,500) for our MasterSpa swim-spa from Capital Hot Tubs Rockville in October 2024 (purchased swim spa from Hot Tubs Inc.) and it was delivered and installed in March 2025. In May 2026, one of the lifting pistons/shocks that assist with opening the top failed and ripped itself and it's thick metal bracket from the top, and flipped back and hit my wife pretty hard. I called Capital's service department and finally was able to speak with someone two days later, and she said I had to pay a service fee for them to come out and look at it. Nope, this thing is under warranty, it broke under very basic usage and hurt my wife, I am not paying for anyone to to inspect it. Well, I was told that if I did not pay, then they weren't going to help. I called back a few days later and someone there said that they decided if I sent them pics, then they would look into what could be done instead, but again would not come out unless I first paid them. So, I sent them the pics of the damage/defective parts and then didn't hear a thing from them over the next 4-5 weeks (and this was after repeatedly calling their service dept and and asking for a return call about it). So, I then instead called the salesperson who sold it to us from that location. He was pleasant on the phone, and has seemed to push the issue slightly forward to get Leisure Concepts involved......but......still to this date (after 3+ months now) I have yet to get one (1) phone call back from anyone at Capital Hot Tubs! I call the salesperson every 1-2 weeks, and he acts surprised that no one calls me, and says he is escalating it, and then re-reads me the email from Leisure Concepts, but at the end of my call to them, I pretty much know that no one from there is going to call me with either a solution or date to come fix the top. At this point, we can get the top opened with two people, and I am extremely happy that we did not purchase the swim spa itself from them or we would have the same service issues with something even more expensive.
I generally do not leave revues unless the entire company has repeatedly failed and I see future of it improving. A bad meal somewhere is usually singular, but this lack of concern or service is beyond acceptable.
