Review (4/5): deciding between Costco & Amazon
when I decided to purchase a massage chair - I initially was planning to get the one from costco for over $2000. It only received 3.8 stars out of 5, and for that price I want the 5 stars. So I found this one for cheaper, $1,044.00. Overall it does what I want - massages my back. However, the chair is designed for a much smaller person. I'm 5'6" 165lbs, and I fit pretty snuggly in the chair, but the massage balls go a little higher - like my back needs to be longer. The air pressure is pretty aggressive. I'm unable to use the arm pressure (if you are unfamiliar, it's like compression sleeve) the press EXTREMELY tight, I put the instruction booklet in the arm slot and struggle to get it out with the pressure on. The calf air pressure is better but it occasionally gets a little too much. Good news is you can turn it off.
Things I like - you can turn off/on the air pressure, you can turn on/off the heat, you can adjust the massage balls to a specific area, reclines pretty far.
Don't like - the rollers don't line up quite right, and you have to manually go through each body part if you want it to be in the right spot, There are three types of massage, but you can only manually select 2 of them, the compression pressure is not adjustable.
