Who makes the best HP Stand Up Booth

[sparky]

When I tanned in the 360, at the 7 min mark it felt like my thighs were going to be 'lasered' off, it was so intense with the Infrared Heat.

Cooling in the bed was less than desired in this level and pricing of equipment. A large table fan was located at the head of the bed, and produced a chilling neck-ache afterwards, with no benefit to the lower body at all.

It felt similar to the first few Magic 636 units with the original 'Italian Blue Glass' installed.

Guess they had to go with the stronger lamp, as the canopy is so far away from the body though.

Its actually 600W's I had a typo in the first post

No it doesnt have a high UVB output (only 1%)

The lamps are underpowered because the bed only requires
600W's and they dont make a 600W lamp so you power the 1000W lamp at 600W and you get a longer lamp life. If you used a 500W lamp in the canopy you would be overpowering
it by 100W which would lower the lamps life

Actually the bed is quite cool and comfortabe with the fan at
the end

I think Magic 636 is a great unit, as for stand up - HPO gives a very god tan. By the way, if anybody's interested I have a brand new HPO, still in the box, never installed - we ran into financial problems, now have to sell. Great investment - will sell 10K cheaper...

I still say the stand up Magic would be the bomb.

I have tried Saturn, HPO, V28 and my vote goes to Saturn. That is a pretty powerful unit and didn't get scorching hot. HPO second then V28

The Entropy will tan like a mother, however they have a very unique keyed base lamp in the unit. The top uses a 1000W plug in & the Bench is a 500W plug in. Both have special Keyed bases.

This Poll is lame, all it shows is that people who own the Saturn posted on tanningsalonowners.com. I like the Saturn & agree that it is a great unit, but this is like Milwaukee's Best claiming they were voted America's best tasting beer.

What's funny is that they use this in their advertisements in the magazines.
Yet they don't tell you only 51 people voted. (or .001% of salon owners)

Have you ever tanned in the Entropy 360?? At full power it's hot!!!! There is no way you can run the 360 at 1000watts! No one will use it!!! @ 700watts it's perfect! Customers love it! ! I love it too at $4.00 per min!

I know this is mostly about HP standups but has anyone tried or heard about Tanses Convex? I'm looking into it and would like opinions. Thanks

Look into Saturn for standup HP and Magic for laydown 360° HP.

The rest are just toys.

The Tanses is for masochists only. You could run contests to see if any customers can do the entire session without passing out from heat exhaustion. Go with the HPO. Great cooling, tans well and has the most eye appeal.

Hey Bri, have those kick-backs been clearing the bank? You might want to check your balance before you go overboard! hehe

Well I guess boat anchor's tan extremely well because I guarantee you that the Entropy and the convex will out meter and out tan any HP on the market.

As far as the heat its not an issue if you have proper a/c and a body cooling fan for the client. Any bed is hot if you dont have those two things.

I set up a salon that only has 3 tons of a/c for 2 high pressure beds, a large VHR and a small bed. Obviously thats not enough air so all the beds feel hot.

I have The THP-24 (Matress version of the Convex) , A SunSport and a Chronos and most of my clients want to use the THP because it provides a cooler sessions than the other two but with better results.

So how is it I have 3 choices for my clients in HP equipment and they all want the Tanses because its cooler yet you still have people on here saying they are to hot. Could it be that im actually providing the proper cooling for mine???

Or could it be that you actually have no idea what your talking about??

Matress is a 20 min session 360 is a 10 min session so there is still almost the same amount of heat in the room by the end of the session.

I have tanning in the convex and the entropy and with propper cooling it provides a very comfortable session.

I just do this for a hobby. You are right, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

...then post some numbers with pics with all three meters.
