Default TANSES - KBL, UWE, TanAmerica.....

Just trying to get some user info on Tanses Beds and stand-up units for a new salon. Is anyone using them or do I go with KBL, UWE, or TanAmerica. I'm trying to get the most for my money, Thanks

I wouldn't go with Tan America. I have them and don't like them However, for base beds they are too bad and I know there are a lot for sale on here that you could buy and have for base beds and then have a better brand for your upgrades which is where you make all your money anyway.

I don't know anything about Tanses. I've tanned in KBL beds before and I loved them and have also heard that they are a super good brand. Have also heard real good things about UWE. KBL beds and UWE beds look really good too and will give a good "wow" factor. Others on here will be able to give you more details.

We have 5 Tanses, they tan like a mutha....but they look old skool and not up-to-date. They aren't as flashy as UWE or KBL and therefore, we dont' charge as much as the others would demand. But believe me, they are very strong beds. (they are also extremely close to your face canopies.)

Hi Curt,

How is everything going.

UWE, KBL, and Suncapsule. If you want to get more for your money go with some used beds.

Give me a call and lets meet up like we planned.

Tan America lacks curb appeal for anything over a base bed imho.
I do like them for my base beds though.
Tanses, Entropy I love!
KBL: was my choice if my comp. had ergoline

I got Tanses too! You'll pay thousands more for a 'prettier' bed that will tan the same or less.

We have Tanses Beds in our Studio and are the finest beds as far as quality,dependabilty, and tanning results. We have a TX52 that is 10 years old that replaced a Tan America 42 that has increased in ussage
in that level by a 200% and looks like new.

The new models of Tanses are really nice with accent lighting and new look. They are still a all Steel Construction and will work troublr free for years.

One more thing customers prefer the tanning results of the Tanses beds over our other beds.'

We have a THP24M High Pressure Bed,a SunSport 2021,and a Chronos 360. The THP24M is used 60% more than both the others combined. (This is not my opinion, it is what our clients prefer)
