Matrix vs Ergoline - tanTALK

ashjeff · 10-31-2003, 09:51 PM

I am in the process of needing to purchase 8 new beds, and I am so confused. I have heard some good things about Ergoline and Matrix. I am wanting some regular and high pressure beds. Any views on Matrix or Ergoline??? Any views on other beds that may be better??? Also, does anyone know what price range you would pay on Ergoline 600 or a high pressure Matrix (brand new beds)???

Thanks for ANY info you can give me!

Two completly different beds..depending on which Matrix. Even if you are considering the LP Matrix, its far better than the Ergo. The 600 would cost about 22k new, all powered by 140w ballast..forget the 160 lamps inside, 140 is all you will get. The Matrix will run about 24-26k..Better performer and more important, better service from a better company. Ergo will be fading out the C-class beds over the next 2years, as they intro new and better this year at Nashville. But the price goes up. I say, go for the Matrix!!

Wow soapking... I think the Matrix is 40K. Where did you get that price? Ashjeff, I suggest TanAmerica all the way. They have beds for all the levels. If you are getting 8 new beds and they are the only beds you have, I would get 4 or 5 32Ho's and 1 or 2 32-2 VHO's a Matrix L58 and L33. Also a Sun UpII... Call Marty. He's awesome 800-230-9422

I just ordered 9 Ergoline's because of their close out prices. As some of you know they are introducing new equipment in Nashville and you can pick up some of their 600's and 450's for pretty cheap. PM me if you want more info. I'm not familiar with the Matrix?

Thanks for the info Jenny! I have been looking at Tan America on the Internet. I will give Marty a call.

Remember..all prices the reps quote you are not 'out the door' prices..rule of thumb in this game..quoted price usually has 20-30% 'wiggle' room..if the cataloug says $22,000 for 'X' bed, usually can be had for about 16-17k

Good to know. Thanks!

AJ, the more you buy, the cheaper the price will be with any rep. I have the Ergo/Sundash beds. LOVE them, they tan great, easy maintence and lamp changing. Yes, they are changing the line. I have had great service with these beds, you cant go wrong with them. I have the 450 Classic, and didnt even have to put the buck booster on it.
Clients love that bed, U should see their faces when they come out of the room after 12 minutes...The look is "O Man"..lol
