Sunboard XTT vs Magic - tanTALK

Anybody use this? How does it compare to the Matrix and Magic. Is the Sunboard 1.5% UVB? or higher?

Well it depends on which Sunboard you are talking about. If it is the new one they have increased the UVB percentage. The Sunboard looks great in a room, but I have had women complain about feeling "exposed" and out there for the world to see.

The Matrix is about 1.8% UVB and is very impressive in the room, and TanAmerica is a great company.
The Magic 636 with the new Mug6 is an awesome tanning machine! I think the magic is smaller looking, but with the control panel to take up your levels, it's hard to beat.
When you can get 800-1000 hours on your lamps and your customer receives the same tan as day one, it doesn't make any sense to go with any other bed . I would say the Magic 636 out performs all of them.

I have tanned on the Sunboard XXT & it is pretty impressive! I only went 10 minutes in the max 15 minute session and got really dark!

The Matrix & Magic will both run a little hotter than the XXT will, just because of wattage.

The Matrix has most likely got the highest UVB of the 3 units, again a 15 minute session.

The Magic is 12 minutes & you can easily get 800-900 hrs on the lamps,which is a much greater ROI than the others.

All are great HP beds & you will be glad to own any one of them, juts pick the one that fits your salon & clients the best!
