Why the ION Tan Won Best Cordless System 

• True Professional Power, Cord-Free – Unlike most battery-powered competitors that struggle to deliver salon-quality output, the ION Tan’s dual-speed modes put it on par with professional plug-in turbines. Turbo mode is at least 64% more powerful than any other cordless unit tested.
