Who out there has them? Do they get ANY play, or do they just sit idle? I remember a while back some talk about them, but I was wondering if anyone since them has bought one. I was thinking of this, because I am located in a huge business district where alot of women just want to tan their legs and some will suck it up and do just the regular Sundash bed, but some just don't want the exposure.

What kind of power do they run on? What do you charge for the session..etc???

I can't wait to hear these responses. LOL!

Mine is a waste of time, space and money. It did very well for the first three months, but has never recovered after the last slow season. Nice little machine though.

i got a classic leg tanner it does pretty well right now weve only had it 8 months the nicer it gets out the more it gets used im glad i bought it ive gotten some new tanners from competition and i hear alot of "i only tan because of my legs and you have a machine made for that" we sell 1 visit for $10 and have packages also and a $2 upgrade its not a huge profit generator but it does get the phone ringing and people talking its got alot of potential if priced and marketed right good luck

right market is right. Mine has been costing my money for 7 months.

I was thinking of using my existing office in the loft level (where my massage therapy rooms are, which I don't use anyway, just wasted space. Do they wear goggles? or they free to read and stuff while doing it? My office is too small to do another massage therapy room and certainly too small to do another regular bed. I was thinking of doing Lumiere in there but that would be in a year or so because I am focusing my $$$ on a HP unit to be used in my last tanning room on the main floor.

I would think that with the business/military offices setting that the demand would be higher than a regular suburban salon setting. What do they cost? I like the look of the Legacy vs. the Classic legs(ease of cleaning also)

I lost my ofice to put in the leg tanners. I had big hopes for it, but as I said it's not and hasn't been payng for it self at all this season.

I provide goggles, not sure they use them, cause there are lots of magazines in that room.

yeah we cleared out a storage area for ours and they are supposed to wear eye protection but i always find magazines in there do like we did and ask customers if they would use it if you had one also which one are you considering

I guess since my office is sitting idle at the moment, it couldn't hurt... I need to do some more research...

i got the classic yeah its hard to clean but that bulge in the center with lamps is a great selling point also makes the machine not look like a minature bed
