German term or phrase: Spaß

Hello,

the first thing that occurred to me was "We wish you a nice time with your new equipment.", but then I noticed that this phrase is not commonly found in a context like this (a "letter" to the customer who purchased a certain product). In fact, this sounds to me quite German.

Is there a standard sentence that is used with this function in English?

Context:

Mit Ihrem neuen Gerät wünschen wir Ihnen viel Spass.

enjoyment

Explanation:
We hope you enjoy your new [equipment/device] - although I would actually name the [equipment/device] is, as "equipment" may not be the best word for whatever the thing is.

fun

Explanation:
"We hope you have lots of fun with your new equipment" or We wish you lots of fun with your new equipment" are perfectably acceptable in English. they also translate Spass as fun; its usual meaning.
