Magic 636 or Matrix L33 - TanToday - Helping Salon Owners, One At A Time, Since 2000!

tanbeach · 27th February 2005, 12:59 AM

Adding a HP unit to our new location in about 3-4 months.I was wondering how the latest versions of these units stack up against each other.Also are parts readily available for these units when the beds go down. I had a tough time getting parts for my Dr Muller Orbits when QDM were the distributors, and this cost me money in busy season.

Well TanAmerica is probably one of the best in the business. I would suggest you try both these beds out before you make your decision. I have a Magic 636 and my customers love it. On the other hand I`m sure if I have a Matrix they would love it too. (hope to have one later)

Are there any salon owners that own both the Matrix L33 and the Magic636, and what are your positive and negative experiences with these units

HBT6872 · 12th March 2005, 04:59 PM

We have both and they are both great beds! I have the Magic 636 with the new Mug6 glass..and we do not have enough hours on the bed yet(brand new)to test the lamp life. If the lamp life works ..where the customer receives the same intensity ....from the first session to the last one, then the Magic 636 is hard to compete against.

Tanned on both beds recently and will make my decision next week. Thanks for all the input

Did you tan on the Magic with the Mug glass?

tanbeach · 1st May 2005, 02:01 PM

yes i did tan on the 636 with the new mug 6 glass marster 37

Decided to purchase the Matrix L33.Both beds will tan you. I decided to go with the Matrix L33 for 2 reasons. The quality finish, attention to detail and look of the Matrix and the fantastic customer support and service from Tan America.
Thanks for all your input

cant go wrong Tanbeach. have 2 matrix units and purchasing another matrix soon.

Carla Plazas · 13th May 2005, 09:59 PM

The Matrix is my favorite bed hands down. It is not my favorite as far as changing lamps (my new SunBoard XTT is the easiest HP bed to change the lamps) but the customer service is the greatest, bar none!

I agree about the aesthetic beauty as well. Their units are quality built and look good even over time.

tanbeach · 22nd May 2005, 10:04 PM

Getting my Matrix this week. Very excited

The Matrix does look great. The Magic flat out tans it. Your customers do not compare looks of beds but they do compare results. Looks or tanning? That is the decision.
And the lamp replacement time and expense will be thousands more for the Matrix.

Natureboy · 23rd May 2005, 04:47 PM

Yep, you can't beat the amount of "A" the Magic puts out. And lamp changes that last for 1000-1200 hours, big cost savings.

frankie · 24th May 2005, 03:25 AM

A little bird told me that Tan America was going to be offering some special deal in Vegas for those who want a Matrix. Hmmm now might be the time to buy.

Frankie,

I am sure most of the big bed dealers will have some steals on equipment for the the Vegas show, no one has sold squat this season for beds & many are sitting on stock.

You already see 0% & $0 down!

Companies don't do that when business is good!

frankie · 25th May 2005, 01:09 AM

For whatever reason I welcome the deals.
