Heartland or PureTan

missyw · 12-18-2004, 11:11 PM

I have been doing research for awhile now. I have talked to 10 different distributors and I have compared all of the bed specs, from ets,puretan,heartland,ergoline,tanameric a,soltron...
I have done my research, however the more I talk to people the more confused I am getting. Every company has something to say about each other. I have narrowed it to Heartland or PureTan because of price, location, and the fact those are the only two companies that haven't bashed everyone else. Can anyone out there please help me differentiate the 2. I am looking to open with 6 beds and I am not sure which company to go with.
Thank you....
PS my only competition is across the street and they carry sundash 4000 for base

Do you believe that these beds are better than the Sundash? Sundash is a good bed. If I had to choose between the two though - Heartland. I think the guy who owns heartland is a good guy. He took time with me on the phone before when you know he didnt have to. That goes a long way in my mind.

Heartland...quality/after sale/ great company.

Rumors flying about the future of PureTan...check the other boards, like www.tanformation.com and you find much negativity about them. Heartland is all positive.

Another company, not to add confusion, is Sontegra..check/search, and nothing but rave reviews about the equipment/company and the man behind it. www.sontegra.com

Several years ago, when I upgraded and replaced my original beds, I looked at several companies. I ended up going with Heartland on the recommendations of salon owners who owned them. I have never been sorry for a minute. They are great beds, well made and they deliver great color. I have had them in service for 2 years with only a couple of minor problems that Heartland immediately sent someone to fix. Can't speak for Puretan except what I have read online. When I replace a couple of beds this year they will definitely be Heartlands.

If it is between those two, Heartland, hands down.

I agree, Heartland.
