We have found it great for starting first timers who have never used a tanning bed and are scared of them. After a couple sessions they are then using the beds. We are also developing a growing clientelle of young east indian women who only want to tan their legs. They always use the best lotion and never complain about price. They actually think the session is extremely cheap at a $1 / minute. The season for the legs, is later then the beds, if they are wearing mini skirts the unit will be busy. You must do your own marketing and graphics. The artwork that is readily available would not work for us and we had to do our own.

If you have the right market they are great. I've only put 64.77 hours on this dust collector in a year................ sure looks nice though.
I have had it just over a year. I sold the first session in it on May 5, 2004.

We got or classic legs about the middle of January of '05 and we have 51.45 hours on it. Not great but decent. It has generated about $1000.00 in revenue. We use it to upsell our $79.99 monthly all access package. It really helps. My competition has the legacy & I have heard over and over again that it just looks like a small tanning bed. The classic legs has the wrap around leg design and IMO it just looks much nicer.

What do people do walk in my legs are looking pasty let me tan them. LOL I'm sorry never seen a need for one. But more power to you if it's working maybe I'll come down and tan my legs.

angelcat, who cares what it looks like. The Legacy is by far more user friendly and easier to maintain. More tanning wattage also, I believe......

With all the input I rec'd from my clients my leg tanners should have been a hit, it was for 3 months maybe, but been a miss ever since.

Genius, we sell more upgrades than anything else. That was always the #1 complaint...legs not getting as dark as the rest of the body.

Same complaints here angelcat, that is why I invested in one. It just never rebounded after the past "slow" season. It is now a liability to me.......

I must admit I really had high hopes for it but it just isn't nearly as popular as I thought it was gonna be.

What was your reasoning for buying one? what is your clientel like? Mine is alot of business/military officer women that are constantly wearing skirts year round. I may just look at picking up a used one vs. buying new.
