Rep Power: 0 | Soltron is working out great for me. Got a couple level one beds, Kisses, and a top of the line Shark. customers have given alot of positive feedback. only problem was excessive heat in the room so i got an exhaust kit installed and no complaints anymore. Soltron beds are working out good for me. |

Rep Power: 21 | Some people are to forgiving and never learn. There are so many companies out there that have always been great companies that offer great equipment. Why even consider a company that says I’m sorry we are different now, we are now the best. In life, typically a leopard never changes his spots. Buy from companies with long proven track records. |

Rep Power: 0 | I agree with DWhite Tan America offers great beds and has amazing tech support. I have also found that their beds are extremely low maintenance and in my experience "knock on wood" haven't had ANY major issues at all with their beds. We are pretty diligent with our cleaning of the beds so I am sure that has played a little part in it as well. Go with Tan America!! |

Rep Power: 21 | One manufacturer to stay away from is Dr. Kern. I had them nothing but problems, over heating, acrylics cracking due to poor air circulation, and lamps always going out. Service sucks. I had a problem with each of my beds, they ordered my parts, they came in and and my parts was used on somebody elses beds, and this was openly told to me. I have also been contacted by several salon owners who still have Dr Kern that they are filing a class action suit. It is ironic how several salon owners all have the same problems with the same beds. So DR KErn stay away from. As far as the best equipment, do your homework. ETS may work in one area but in others will fail. I tanned in a new ETS bed at a salon and it was the worst experience next to the ultra sun experience. The cooling systems were horrible. I was hotter than heck with the first 5 minutes. Tan in the beds before you purchase, you can only sell what you believe in. Somebody mentioned go to the ITA show in June, that is the best way to be able to compare beds, ask questions, and speak with other salon owners. There will always be somebody out their with a positive and negative experience, some people like fords while others hate them. Do not be afraid to ask questions of each manufacturer. |

Rep Power: 21 | Steve you didn't have a problem with Puretan when you were employed by them. We all know you have a hard-on for Puretan. Kdv listen to the people that make a living using these beds every day, not some ex employee who is now selling a different bed. When i bought my Puretan beds, the dealer I went thru, told me that ets were junk. A year later he was selling ets and now he is selling a different kind. Ask the people that use Puretan beds every day and they will tell you the truth. It always seems like the people that have the biggest problem with Puretan beds don't own any of them. |
