Ultrabronz Indulgence

[tca]

Does anyone have the Ultrabronz Indulgence?? It gives really good tans,
but also comes with a bunch of problems. I guess Ultrabronz's solution
to the problem was coming up with Ultrabronz 950. It seems as though
people that bought the Indulgence are just screwed... Actually the guy
at tech support asked me to come up with a solution. hmmmm...

Please post the problem so that we can help you

The main problem is that all the buttons get stuck. There was a fluke in the design causing the buttons to get stuck. The continue button gets stuck and the machine never lets the user know when to flip over. Therefore people get burned. The canopy down button gets stuck and people get stuck in the machine. I'm trying to come up with a way to custom make some buttons, but I seriously doubt this. I do not know what to do.

did you find a solution to this problem?

Anyone else have one of these, and what has been your experience with this bed?

[danggirl]

why someone bring back a 2004 post?

[Rob]

maybe she is having the same problem and wanted to know if they found a solution...just a thought.

[Sara]

just didn't want to create a new thread and used the search button!
just considering buying one that's all

DON'T.......950 works well. .......get that if you really want a UB

[Sara]

what all can you tell me about it? we have supernova and were considering replacing it with this, since it's newer and all.

[solarmeter®]

Um - anything's better than a stupidnova™ (or so I've read on-line).

™ is a trademark of..... oh never mind.

Skip the Indulgance. Try for a 950 if you can.

The Indulgance 924 has an odd lamp that Philips makes. The output isn't all that good. The 950 has a newer style Verticle lamp & parabolic reflector. Much better output & more replacement lamp choices.

Although if you have some dough to spend consider the new Sunsport Platinum matress unit. Will smoke the 950.

I am the "tech guy" and the problem with the rubber buttons is part design and part worn out button, mixed with a little bit of the switch board is mounted too close to the button. I can assure you that I have never told a customer "figure it out for yourself."

As far as the 950 replacing the 924, it did replace the 924 because the 950 was the first model manufactured in the US, and Ultrabronz no longer wanted to import our beds. We are proudly American made. We also still service and carry the replacement parts for the 924.

You can put the 950's tan against any machine current or not and it will not be beat. Also we have already figured out filter glass from the factory, so no need to purchase any upgrade glass. We give you the best tan up front with no games.

Thanks for the response!! So in your honest opinion, would it be better to hold out on a 950 or to go for the 924?

I have a 924 for sale, up and running in my salon. works great! Come and get it! Make me an offer, I had it sold. But the lease for this lady didn't work out for her at her new location. You can see this unit in the trading post.

We've had every generation Ultrabronz made up until the 950 and will probably upgrade to that too soon. Why not buy a used 924 for 12g or there abouts? The new 950 goes for 37g. You can still charge 30.00 or so per visit on the 924 (we are) and it tans great. The buttons do get stuck every now and then but not a major problem. As far as getting burned, there is not enough uvb to get burned if you do not flip over. If that was so, the bed would not be approved for 20 minutes. I'm sure there are many people out there who cannot swing the 37g for a new bed but will still make a lot of money with a used 924. So coming from people who have owned each generation of Ultrabronz, the 924 is no problem. Not anywhere near as many problems as the Supernova. And since we have about 60 beds and many different varieties, I tell you there is now such thing as a problem free tanning bed.

[Miraclesun]

Heck, I'll take $10,900.00 for this 924. It runs great, no buttons sticking on this one. email me direct at Miraclesun1@aol.com

Ultrabronz CHOSE not to import beds anymore?????

I guess they could have imported some other bed and called it ultrabronz.

Alex just got a couple 950's and he said they tan great.

We do not import. They are manufactured in Richmond, VA in the USA
