Pro Sun tanning beds?

[Brian Oshman]

The new stuff is just the same quality as the old stuff.

Brian what kinds of problems have you had? I know they had issues with the upper acrylic in a series of luminas, and I have a used one of those here, but as far as the new stuff, I haven't had any problems with them yet. Mine never popped out and as far as I can tell it won't. I've tried to get it to come out

As long as they work for me and my customers like them, that is all I care about right now. If i make it long enough to pull off another salon, would i go with prosun again? maybe, but i won't shut out other brands. It mostly came down to the support i was given right off the start.

Only gripe with one new machine was this. We bought 3 brand new X5s, fully loaded, waited ages for them. The wait really didn't matter becasue my electrician was a real tool, anyways... one of the units has a smaller body fan. It is significantly weaker, I called them on it and they said well thats just tough, we changed the design and you got one of the old models. I wasn't happy and neither was my distributer, so they are fronting the money to get me the new fan whcih i have, I just need the new mounting bracket.

I could have cared less if they all had the smaller fan or if 2 out of 3 were smaller, but customers go in this one bed and they are always telling me how much hotter it is.

Everything is good until it breaks down.

so are you guys just saying they have/had build quality issues?

Which specific customers beds have you worked on when talking about our X series, if any? Just curious.

George,

I never owned a Prosun, I've seen up close some older models. My bed tech tells me every part in the bed is riveted and the beds run hot. Also said one of the hardest to work on.

[EliteMike]

Well I can honestly say these beds do not run hot. I don't remember seeing many rivets if any when i put the X5s and X7 together.

[George Sklenicka]

Derf,

I have said before and do agree with you now. The older models, pre-2000, were difficult to work on. We have gone through several major design changes over the past 8 years.

I think you can probably tell from recent posts and also from lack of our beds showing up in the "repair" area on this and other sites that most issues have been corrected.

I'm curious to know which of the new X series units Brian has worked on. He must be basing his expert opinion on personal experience. Hope to hear from him again soon.

It frustrastes me that people bash a product without even seeing it.

Yeah, I've never seen a tanning bed before.

The whole ETS is better than prosun.....well, thats just wrong!
