Re: New Salon...Ergoline?????

I've worked with Ergoline and Tan America, and I prefer Tan America hands down for ease of maintenance and customer comfort.

Re: New Salon...Ergoline?????

Well, I called about 7 INDEPENDENT repair guys that have nothing to do with sales, distrobution etc... All say Ergoline beds look awsome, don't tan well and have to many computorized things that always need fixing. They all say that Ultra Sun tan great and are workhores and very easy to work on with very low matainence. And they also say there a third of the price$. "Sounds good to me"
They also say UWE beds are great but overpriced, Sun Italia good but overpriced and just flat out stay away from ETS!
They all say the best quality bed for the price is Ultra Sun!
Not one of these repair guys asked me for my number, email, address or tried to sell me a **** thing!

This sounds good to me. Have you inquired about Heartland units?

Re: New Salon...Ergoline?????

I have heartland beds, and I LOVE THEM. Simple to use, tan super great and they are actually super roomy, even their standard 100w beds.

Re: New Salon...Ergoline?????

Yeah, I called the heartland rep and he was very nice as well as very helpful but I honestly did not ask any of the repair guys about heartland.
I will call them all back and ask though..But the good sign was they all volunteerd to speak highly of Ultra Sun and the only thing every tech had in common was they all said Ultra Sun was solid!!
Some guys liked ergoline, UWE, sun italia but they all liked Ultra Sun
Im going to call more techs and ask more questions and get as many opinions from the people who actually work on these beds day in and day out.
Im going to keep my mind open and try to figure out what works best. I would hate to go spend a **** of alot of $$$ because I listened to someone on here who is posing as a salon owner that really is trying to sell beds.
IM new but not stupid!!!


Jcruz, what model heartland beds do you have?
Neon do you sell Heartland? Im going to call around and check those out as well.

Re: New Salon...Ergoline?????

IF you are in a metro area Heartland won't cut it. Good for smallish areas.

You need Dr. Muller, Sportarredo, UltraSun (new ones are MUCH better than the old clunkers they once had.) Those have the performance/looks and ease of repairs (if needed) great client service.

Re: New Salon...Ergoline?????

Jeff is correct once again. I'm thinking not large but more like an extra medium in the pants.

As for Ms team tan
