Need VHR Upgrade Advice. ACN Solart 54/6? - tanTALK

curiousm1966 · 11-26-2002, 05:50 PM

Has anybody tanned and/or metered a Solart 54/6 bed? Own one now? I think it looks great. But how does it tan. I will be making a road trip next monday to tan in it!
I am interested in buying one. Any feed back greatly appreciated.

One post hinted the manufacturer was going out of business...

Do to leasing company requirements I must aquire beds from Heartland, Tan America or a Sun Ergoline dealer. If I had the funding I would buy Dr. Mueller in a heartbeat. I think.

So from Heartland I am looking at the ACN Solart 54/6, Heartland 164/4, and 154/3. From Tan Marketing - Ergo 600, Avantgarde 600 or 450. And Tan America - maybe the Premier Gold 42-3 and Matrix V28.

I am looking for 3 big(12 min)vhr beds or 2 vhrs and maybe a Matrix v28. No HP in my salon but competition does have a matress type. Don't have room for HP laydown. Rooms are 10ft by 70".

I currently have 10 rooms. 6 base beds(100wx24), 2 upgrade beds (100wx32, reflectors on top) and 1 Sundazzler (160wx46) vhr stand-up.

During busy season I know I would do better without the stand-up and an additional upgrade bed. I may be able to find another place for it if I would buy a smaller unit with dressing room.

So what do you think. 3 vhr's, no stand-up. Or 2 vhr's and a HP stand-up like the Matrix v28 or keep my vhr stand-up?

Thanks again...

1966 it looks like this is something new for folks here. I personally have not so I can't give the input you are requesting. I would certainly stear clear of a vendor rumored to be 'going out of business' and look elsewhere for my equipment. Some of the other vendors you mentioned are excellent choices.
