Re: Bed Choice

Anything but ETS and pro sun. .I sell no beds.. look at sontegra a small company but tough beds. Klaffsun, the beds uri makes , you can pay less and go to soleil systems ets has gotten better than they were but building a better yugo just means you have a yugo special edition.

Whether you like it or not. Almost all tanning units are brought to Canada from the US. Yes most of the better companies are from Europe but they all get shipped directly to the US then up here.

ETS, Ergoline, Tan America, Heartland all come from the US, they just happen to have a dist. here in Canada. I sell Sportarredo, they are made in Italy and shipped to the states. I have them shipped up here and delivered to my customers.
Yep, and that's why there is a CDN price because it all get factored in.

I've got the T32s, TX 52, TX 44 and TT55 but I haven't owned anything else. I haven't had any problems and Tanses has been very easy to deal with. You'll need more fans.

Re: Bed Choice

Tanses are a good choice. Sportarredos and Tan Amercia are excellent. If you want an excellent stand up, go with the Bermuda Triangle. I agree, stay away from ETS.

I am from the east coast (NB)...been thru Sydney a few years ago on the bike on our way to Newfieland and from all these forums I read....ETS aren't as good as some of the others. Are you leasing or buying? There are so many great deals on here and now that JASON is here there will prob be alot more. If you can swing it.....take a trip and buy a few units on the east coast of the US...there are so many for sale...a few Sun Capsules, a used Orbit, Sonnenbraunes, Tan America. They all tan great and aren't so expensive to replace acrylics, etc. They are all reliable. And if you can get a bank loan you'll have them paid off within a year compared to 3 years with a lease. Good Luck

Re: Bed Choice

I love Dr mullers bed! True work horses! We have Ergoline, Dr Muller systems and suncapsules here...IF I was adding to the salon I would add a Sungate or Future Sun I hear the Magic 363 from clients say it is the machine for tanning..

Re: Bed Choice

I just got a package from Arctic Tan, so if anyone has any experience with them, i'd love to hear some suggestions on bed choices! I'm looking for 2 base beds, 1 step up (i guess it would be called an upgrade maybe? or a level up.. whatever lol) and a stand up.
Thanks!
