Getting Back to Relaxing My Back
I to have purchased this to replace and old Panasonic EP790 Shiatsu Massage chair.<br />My old chair had a drive belt wore out and I can't find that part.<br />I think its about 18 years old and if definitely got my moneys worth out of it, using it almost every day.<br />I'm going to try and find a belt and am still going to keep it as the motors and gears are still good, or maybe find someone looking for the motors. The front cushion is almost worn through.<br /><br />This new chair is whisper quiet, I think the posting about a noisy chair is less than accurate or they got a defective unit. This chair seems to make less noise than my old one.<br /><br />It has about the same footprint as my old one, maybe a little bigger and fits nicely into small spaces.<br /><br />My new chair has many more choices for massage type which I like.<br />It doesn't seem to work the neck as good as my older unit.<br />I haven't played with the settings on manual yet and can probably get more intensity on upper areas, also the upper massage may improve as the padding gets broke in.<br />I like that the new chair provides lateral massage movement, where the old chair just ran up and down.<br />The massage range has been increased and reaches lower on my back, very nice.<br />The massage heads seem more like real hands.<br />The motorized recline and leg lift feature is nice as well.<br /><br />The big difference is the leg massage.<br />It applies pressure squeezing the legs and then stretching them by pulling on them.<br />I'm thinking that its going to help with leg blood circulation.<br />It takes a bit getting use to this new feature.<br />My friend loved the leg massage and thought it was the best part.<br /><br />The delivery was curb side and on time.<br />The back legs have rollers just tip it back and roll.<br />Its not easy lifting from the front to roll, it takes 2 people.<br />It was crated well and now I have a lot of cardboard to recycle.<br /><br />Now all I have to do is pay for this, LOL.<br />I used my Amazon Store Card and got 1 year same as cash + free shipping.<br />That helped and with out that I mostly likely would not have made this purchase.<br />A great deal.
