Re: which is a better line-up for new salon

Heartland/sunsource.

They never break, they never fail, they never die. They just tan.

I WISH I could recommend otherwise.

Re: which is a better line-up for new salon

UWE has a good lineup.

Dr.Muller is another good one (but they closed up shop in Germany i believe)

KBL America


Those would be the top 3 i'd even consider for low pressure.
---------------------
For High Pressure. - Magic, Ergo 1050, Matrix are probably the top 3 in my books again.
---------------------

Specifically standups, i'd look at.

KBL PureEnergy Standup
Suncapsules
Solarsphere


That's It!!!

I like em but I don't love em. I don't like anything that runs on software. Strange errors and whatnot.

Best tanning bed ever is the ICON...I just don't think they are good for 5-10,000hrs like heartland or sunsource which can pull that off without a problem.

Sunsource: LIFETIME WARRANTY (or 10 years or something crazy)
Heartland: 5 years
Dr Muller: 90day warranty for a $25K bed

Re: which is a better line-up for new salon

My all time favourite tanning bed of all time. Ergoline 650 Classic (HP/LP combo) Can't beat the tan from that.

Re: which is a better line-up for new salon

^^^gotcha. My problem with heartland or sunsource is looks. If your in a market saturated with big plastics beds it will be tough to compete. Besides the best vhr heartland has is the crimsun which is actually a KBL 6800.

I am here in Canada and I represent Sportarredo. Take a look at our line up: www.sportarredousa.com

We are going to be introducing 6 new units in Nashville next week so all of our remaining inventory will be availble at a GREAT price.

I almost forgot, I've heard good things about sportarredo also. Very unique looking compared to most beds.

Re: which is a better line-up for new salon

There are many "Nice" beds and "Okay" beds and "Not that bad" beds....but if you are looking for the true performers that will kill all competition and you'll be able to say, i've got the best beds on the market and walk all cocky and stuff.....then look at the lineups i posted above.

Ergoline has some nice beds too....best looking beds on the market, but the others have more kick in the tan and still look just as impressive.

Everything else....well only if you are on a budget should you look at other lineups. Otherwise, Pay up, buy the best and thats all there is to it!

Dr Muller BEFORE Ergoline...I hate ergoline. Like a supercar with a 100hp engine.
