Saunazone- Massage Chair & Infrared Sauna Sales

There must be quite a few of us who are guilty of having tried out those Massage Chairs at HomeTECH, HomeMark and Verimark shops etc.
But have anyone here actually liked them enough to buy one?
If you have a massage chair, then what did you buy, why did you buy it, and how do you find it now.
Thanks.

When I was in Lagos I spend 2 hours in a airport trying HomeTECH massage chairs for FREE to ease my pains from walking, traveling and general fatigue. They have some features, but I’ve never had the urge to go out and buy one. The main factor is the fact that I have no money, but the kicker is that the amount I’d actually use it, it would be way more cost effective to sit in a chair in an airport  for 10 minutes a week then to actually go out and buy one and have to fit it in my room somewhere.

I bought my wife a HomeTECH massage chair for Christmas - she was in the late stages of pregnancy and had quite a sore back. Specifically, I bought this one: http://www.saunazone.co.za/massage_chair.htm
When she opened it, she tried (quite badly, I might add) to feign enthusiasm. But, once she’d tried it out, she swore by it - it really did help her a lot.
It feels a bit painful for the first few times, but once it’s pummelled your back a bit, it does actually seem to loosen it up. And, it’s really helpful for getting out specific knots. I don’t think it’s really designed for use multiple times a day - you’d probably injure yourself if you tried to use it like that. It does, however, give a decent deep tissue massage, which may not feel good but does help get rid of painful knots.
It’s not for everyone, but it really did help my wife (and me, to a lesser extent).

My dad bought the HomeTECH SX801-A from SaunaZone Cape a few months ago, he bought it cause he loves massages and would love to go for massages every day but can’t due to work commitments. Well he uses it everyday and i think he loves it. My mum loves sleeping on it cause it’s so comfortable. I personally love it, cause for some reason i love it when it hurts when it massages me.

What do our MASSAGE CHAIR Customer purchases have to say about us?

Hi Dominic
Trust you are well.
Been meaning to mail you for a while now, been off on study leave and then out of the office with multiple projects. Just wanted to thank you for all your time and assistance during the entire deal. I must say, we are very impressed with the chair.
Thanks again.
Kind Regards
Padma

Every year Las Vegas is host to the largest consumer electronics tradeshow on the planet. The Consumer Electronics Show or CES consists of manufacturers of every category of electronics. My interest was to see the very best in massage chairs. Although there were many massage chair vendors, I was interested in the manufacturers of the top products and present what I found.

One of the exhibitors which I found was a Japanese company called Family Inada. Family Inada was displaying the HomeTech SX801-A. The Dream Wave SX801-A was the winner of the 2009 CES innovation award. The HomeTech is a very advanced chair with some very innovative features.

The HomeTech SX801 has more airbags (28) than any massage chair that I have ever tried. There are airbags that surround the calves, buttocks and also ones that can massage your entire arm. The air massage was impressive around the buttocks area and was effective in relieving tension in the neck area. The arm massage was very effective and provided a high level of compression I was expecting.

The HomeTech SX801is named for the advanced seat design which is incorporated into this recliner. The seat pivots to provide ergonomic support for your spine and buttocks. The seat will rock in place in a wave like movement. This helps to reduce the stress built up on the spine and relax the lower torso. This technological marvel comes in an egg-shaped design which is a bit funky for most households. All this technology comes at a price, which for the HomeTech SX801 was $2,500.

Another impressive high end massage chair is produced by Fuji Medical. The Fujiiryoki recliner provides a full body massage and a shoulder press. The shoulder press is firm and provides great relief from the sides of the body during the massage therapy. The Fujiiryoki has an FDA device listing and was touted as a medical chair. This advanced therapeutic massage recliner retails for $5,000.

The massage techniques are very invigorating and relieving. The combination of good massage to the back with the rotation of air compression from the feet, calves, shoulders and seat provides for a thorough massage experience. The design of the chair is modern with black and silver colors.

Now, having tried the most expensive chairs at the CES, I was interested in how the Omega Montage Premier would compare. I liked the neck massage of the Sogno and the shoulder compression of the Fujiiryoki. The Montage Premier, however, gave a stronger massage and penetrated deeper. Another note was the supplemental items such as music, full body heat and a traction system which the Montage Premier had but were lacking in the others.

Trying massage chairs at a tradeshow with a million people around takes you being able to relax and forget your surroundings. This is where the Montage Premier shined. I slipped on the headphones and let the soothing tunes take me away from the crowds. The Montage Premier recliner then warmed me, stretched me and gave me a relieving deep tissue massage. I felt I found the right chair and at $4,500, it was the best deal at the show.

I also surveyed the entire show for Sanyo and Panasonic who have some great massage chairs. Neither of those companies were displaying their massage chairs this year. They did have some impressive Big Screen TV’s with crystal clear images. There were an assortment of other massage chairs, but they were just at the show to sell you a massage chair. I was afraid they may not be at the show next year as they seemed a bit too high pressure to buy.

There were an assortment of other massage chairs, but I am a bit wary of these companies as they only sell at shows. Some of these chair companies I have never heard of and they probably wont be there next year. I asked these companies if they had any retailers or other distribution to confirm that they were fly by night companies. I wont bother to mention them here.

Some of the high end chairs are pretty outstanding and the technology being built into these massage chairs is equally amazing. If you are looking for a really high end chair, then the HomeTech SX801, Fujiiryoki and Montage Premier are your best bets. Finding the HomeTech SX801and Fujiroiki to try may be difficult, whereas the Montage Premier is in some major retailers. You may need to call the manufacturers to find where they are available to try.

The CES is held every year in Las Vegas in early January. It is the worlds showcase for consumer electronics. The attendance was around 130,000 people with over 2,800 exhibitors. It is so big that it spills over from the main convention center into the Sands and the Hilton Hotels. If you want to see the best massage chairs on the market, then make your plans on attending the 2010 CES show.
