4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice hardware, "OK" tanning solution, December 16, 2007
I go 3-4 times a month for a machine mist or airbrush tan at my local salon. I didn't buy this as a replacement for that. I bought it for traveling when I am away from home for more than a couple of days or for when I'm busy and don't have time to visit the salon. This product will be a perfect compliment for that.
I first used this product a few days after I got a spray tan at my local salon. I noticed absolutely NO change in my skin tone whatsoever, so I thought the tanning solution was a total rip. I decided to give it another try, so I waited for another 4 days, until the day before I was to go and get another tan, as my current skin tone was almost back to my norm (light complected).
I then sprayed the solution again only onto 1 side of my chest, upper thigh, and left buttocks. After spraying, I noticed very little if any change. Again, I thought the solution was useless. However, the next morning, I got up and looked in the mirror, and I was tan in the areas that I had sprayed, and still light everywhere else.
I was expecting an "instant" tan color, like at my salon, but what I found out, is that this solution takes time to work. It does NOT contain any instant bronzer, like the solutions do at my regular salon, so the color change is not instant. With only DHA as the colorant, it has to absorb into your skin over the next 4 hours to see any really visible changes.
I've decided to buy some other tanning solutions from the web and use with my iBod airbrush gun.
After doing some research online, I found a nice selection of product, with varying sizes, and some of the cheapest prices at www.tanforless.com.
I think I should have even better results with some of these other products. If the included tanning solution had been better, I would've definitely given this product 5 stars.

Very happy and surprised it really works!!!, March 27, 2007
I bought this product hoping it would work, but honestly feeling it probably wouldn't. I was so pleased to try it & find out that not only does it work, but the results are very natural looking! I have spent almost every year since I was a teenager in the sun because I LOVE being tan. I feel like my skin is beginning to show that. I decided this year I would start protecting my skin...but hated the thought of being pale all summer. Lucky me I found a solution!!! My only complaint is that the product doesn't include very good directions. I found a website that has a "how to" video which I found very helpful! Anyway...good product!!!

You don't even get what you pay for, April 16, 2006
I got this on Friday special from Amazon for $25 shipped, thinking how much I would save in Mystic tanning sessions by doing this myself at home. I am not impressed-- I acknowledge my unit may have been defective, but I'm not taking the chance and I'm returning it to Amazon for a refund.
In short, it did not work well at all. The plug on the recharging unit got too hot to the touch after charging for a little while. The reservoir was very difficult to remove and it did not spray very strong. Worst of all, it did a poor job on me-- although I tried to coat myself evenly, I am only tan in places here and there. I am tannest on spots on both of my hands, which is very noticeable and embarrassing. In addition, the spray gun seemed to be a bit leaky- yuck.
So, the experiment did not go well and it's back to Mystic for me. This is a poor product and based on its performance, I would say that if you paid a penny for it, it would be one cent too much.
