Default Has Anyone Tried The New ETS Beds Yet?

Has anyone tried the new ETS E series line? I was unable to make it to the show this year due to the birth of our daughter, and I really like the looks of the new ETS Legend Bed. It has electronic ballasts, contoured frosted acrylic, pretty nice curb appeal with the led lighting. Has anyone tanned in one or ordered one yet, I am thinking of driving to Indiana to try one out and make a deal???

I just got a run down on the new units, they are all designed to fit in small rooms so older salons can upgrade their units, and they are designed to use 30% less power, they sure are sweet looking units, never thought i'd here myself say that about ETS.


Aparently they are designed to have an even distance of lamps around you, even the bottom lamps. Interesting.

Won't be out until December. Not on the list yet, you'll be luck if you can get them for January. I'm sure volume might play a factor on your list number though.

We weren't able to tan in it but we did see it at the show and loved it so much we ordered one. Call Sue at ETS and she will give you all the info on the bed. Have shown the photos to some of my best customers and they are really excited.

We are one of those older salons with small rooms and power restrictions. So it's really made for us

That is really smart of ETS to make beds that fit. When we did the build out on our salon they didn't even make some of these huge beds these make today. Do you have your bed in yet Stellita3? If not, let us know how you like it once it gets installed.

The 548 should put out pretty well.
I'm going to try one at one location, if it does what it should i'll put one in each location.

Maybe I didn't tan in this specific bed but I have tanned in ETS beds. I know they are great quality products. When you have a salon with 71/2 by 8 ft rooms and a breaker with only 225amps you don't have alot of choices for upgrading.

The legend gives us a bed with a lot of great features in a smaller room and uses just a bit more power than my base level beds. Plus it's affordable.

I didn't need to tan in it to realize that it was the perfect bed for us.

That's some serious trust.

New bed, new electronic ballast system, personally I would wait about 6 months so they can work the bugs out. Friend of mine tanned on it at the show & got good results & yes they do look much better.

We'll have to wait & see.

I like the size, they will fit in my rooms without redo on the buildout.
I am going to add the new Matrix and I will have to stretch the rooms a little at some stores, not much.

We ordered the Envy to upgrade one of our older beds. They said we are first on the list to recieve one in January. I did try the big red bed from ETS (dont know what it is called) It was 10 min, had to get out at 8 min it was so hot and got really good color!

Well what have you tried out? What is your current bed mix? What size beds are you looking for? What are you looking to spend?

First I would see what the compition has. Then one up them. For example, if they have Ets beds then go with Ergoline, give people a choice. Ets, Ergoline, and Soltron all have really nice beds.

ETS has never been included in the same sentence with the phrase "best
tanning beds" since I have been in the industry.

Nope, but I think they may have just got themselves into that phrase. We will see......

Is this the bed you need to butter up or you'll stick to it?
