Sorry are beds are sundash's. We are open to how much to spend on the beds. we would like to find the best entry level beds with the least amount of problems. Out sundash's work very well with little problems but are getting older and we would like to upgrade to newer beds.

Tan America makes very nice 32 lamp beds, with or without facials, with or without VHO canopies

Sun Fabrications (www.sunfabrications.com) is a new company run by a long-time former Tan America key employee that makes very nice 36 lamp beds, same as above (with or without facials, with or without VHO canopies)

The new Ergoline Ambition series (200, 250, 300) are very good too, and will serve you well as your Sundash did. Soltron (Ergoline's sister company) has similar units.

Often recommended (but I don't know as well) also include Sontegra and Heartland.

Your radius is probably still fine - the newer ones have 52 lamps, yours probably has 48 if it's older, but unless you have a huge stand up market, probably good enough.

Your Cyberdomes were the cat's pajamas at one time, but newer/greater beds definitely exist. Having something with high pressure facials is definitely desirable. If people love your Cyberdomes, consider putting something in ABOVE them, like an Ergoline 600 (as an example - other companies have similar beds)

Tan America "Fiesta" or if you want to set the bar a little higher for your competitors, get the Tan America "Santa Barbara". You can't go wrong being a Tan American! Most reliable, best tanning beds in the world. Good luck!

To begin with, you never put facials or high output lamps in a base bed. You must maintain a wide performance separation between levels. Base bed memberships or use are sold based on value, up-grades are sold based on performance. If you are thinking about changing equipment it might be a good time to evaluate your entire marketing strategy.
