[quote=sunsally]Dr. Kern beds tan fine - most beds do, especially if you use quality lamps and replace them aggressively.

That said, as a general rule, Dr. Kern beds run hot (as in - so hot to lay on the acrylic that tanners have to leave the session early), are a HORROR to install/break down/maintain, etc.

As someone else once said - "they are the ETS of Europe". Lots of people BUY ETS. Few people re-buy them the next go-round.

There are MANY many other brands of beds I would recommend buying over Dr. Kern.

These statements are wrong Wrong Wrong
This is exactly what I was saying about past issues
We purchased our equipment last year and have no overheating with any of them
They are simple to break down and install
We disassemble all of our equipment every two weeks to clean the back side of the acrylics and dust the bulbs and clean the fans
My wife is a clean fanatic and sees a spec of dust and they get torn down even if it is prior to our two week routine
The lower acrylics can be removed and serviced by one person easily however the upper acrylic is a two person operation only due to the flexibility of the acrylic
And yes I would purchase DR. Kern again as a matter of fact I just spoke with the sales rep for a quote on additional base beds
