We love this thing!!!!!
First of all- my husband is a dentist and has chronic neck and back pain. He’s always wanted a massage chair, but the prices always seemed too high. We took a chance on this chair as a Christmas gift, and months later he still thanks me for making the purchase. He sits in it daily and has had a tremendous amount of relief as a result.<br /><br />PROS:<br />-Works extremely well for back, legs, feet, and forearms.<br /><br />-Comparable to more expensive chairs we’ve tried at Brookstone.<br /><br />-Allows for custom settings to either provide full or concentrated spot massaging focus with kneading, shiatsu, or simple vibration.<br /><br />-Customizable in how far back you can recline.<br /><br />-The benefits of the legs and feet massagers were a huge added bonus, and helped some pain that my husband didn’t realize he had.<br /><br />-Rollers are strong and can be adjusted for narrow or wide reach.<br /><br />-Setup was easy and took 15 minutes or so.<br /><br />-The seller and delivery folks were wonderful. They actually called to notify us that our original chair had been damaged in transit. Instead of giving us the damaged chair, they ordered and delivered a new one so we wouldn’t have to deal with setting up and then returning a faulty chair. Their customer service, honesty, and integrity was very much appreciated.<br /><br />NEUTRAL:<br />- the heat works but not well enough to really comment on it being a PRO. We didn’t purchase this chair for that reason, however.<br /><br />CONS:<br />- Like many chairs, this isn’t the best for neck. It’ll reach your neck and provide some comfort, but some of the other neck specific massagers do a better job.<br /><br />-The remote beep is loud when you’re moving the manual settings to spot adjust or decline the chair. We haven’t found a way to lower the volume, but it’s only a minor nuisance until you reach your desired spot.<br /><br />-The massagers get louder if you use the chair for extended periods of time (1+ hour). This isn’t an issue necessarily, but we were worried we had damaged the chair. That wasn’t case, however. It’s still working perfectly. Just be aware that it may happen.<br /><br />OVERALL:<br /><br />We felt like we were taking a gamble on this chair, given that we hadn’t tried it, and we were nervous about such an expensive purchase. But nearly two months later, we absolutely love this chair, and our family may actually be purchasing another one.<br /><br />Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a comparable chair at an affordable price!
