Thinking of buying this unit. Can someone give me your input on this unit? How much should I expect to pay?

What state are you in?

I hope you are an acryllic manu.

Check with Ergoline/Soltron. You can buy them for a lot less than $32,000. I bet you can wheel and deal and get it for less then $25,000. Like Enfant says, be prepared to replace a lot of acrylics. Like every 300 to 500 hours.

Why is there a problem with the acrylics

parrot head · 07-25-2007, 06:53 AM

All of the Soltron beds use a flat acrylic that has no support other than the acrylic itself. The weight of the tanner causes the acrylic to weather check internally (spider-web, cracked ice). It's not a matter of if, but when. If you can get 500 hours on the acrylic, consider youself lucky. I replaced all of my 9 acrylics about 9 months ago and they need replacing again. If your considering Soltron, look at replacing the acrylics everytime you do a lamp change, if not sooner. Ask anyone who has Soltron equipment and they will tell you the same thing.

If you are buying new tell them no deal unless they give a 1000hr warranty on the acrylic or something along those lines.

What are we talking, $900 each?

I think they've come down in price a little. They were over $1000 each, now I think 8 or 9 hundred for the touchdown and hot pepper. The wave and the bigger beds are still over $1000.
