Shoppers who want a tall, impressive tree with color-changing lights and don't need ultra-realistic PE needles. The Hartford Spruce is ideal for those who prioritize size, convenience, and lighting versatility. Perfect for families who want the ease of pre-lit color-changing lights with foot pedal control.

Skip it if you want a realistic-looking tree with high PE content, need remote control functionality, or require size flexibility beyond 9ft.

The 450 color-changing LED lights (C7 bulbs) are evenly distributed across the tree and offer 9 different functions. The foot pedal control makes it easy to switch between modes—customers particularly enjoy toggling between the white and multicolor settings to change the tree's mood throughout the season.

The lack of a remote control means you'll need to bend down to use the foot pedal each time you want to change modes. Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting if mobility or convenience is a priority.

The Hartford Spruce uses traditional PVC needles with gradient coloring and varied lengths, which adds more visual variety than basic flat green needles. The 2,026 tip count is generous for a 9ft tree, creating a full appearance when properly fluffed.

Setup is straightforward with the pre-lit design eliminating the hassle of stringing lights. The 58-inch diameter gives it a substantial presence without overwhelming average-sized rooms. At 36 lbs, it's manageable for most people to move and store.
