Product Review Of Panasonic EP 30003 Massage Chair Recliner

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

Here is an evaluation of the Panasonic Real Pro Ultra in 5 categories including Warranty & Customer Service, Comfort/Ergonomics, Ease of Use, Features and Massage Therapy. Each individual category is given equal weight of 20 potential points.

The categories include Warranty & Customer Service, Comfort/Ergonomics, Ease of Use, Features and Massage Therapy. We hope this disciplined method of evaluating a massage chair will help to guide anyone looking at massage chairs. The Panasonic Real Pro Ultra EP 30003 KU shiatsu massage chair price is in the mid range of $2,000 to $3,000.

Warranty & Customer Service: How good is the warranty of a given chair? Do you have to buy an extended warranty? How well does the manufacturer back their product? Panasonic gives you 1 year labor and 3 year parts. Service is obtained through your retailer or via national service centers. Obviously service varies substantially based on the retailer where it was purchased. Panasonic also builds in an machine hour counter. This enables Panasonic to provide 1,000 hours of warranty coverage. Once the counter hits 1,000 hours, then the warranty ends. To match other manufacturers, you may want to purchase an extended warranty. We give a rating of 16 in this category.

Comfort & Ergonomics: The comfort and fit of any chair is important for the use. Panasonic usually makes it chairs pretty ergonomic. The Real Pro Ultra is no exception. The back pad is comfortable and plush. The head pillow can be adjusted to fit different heights of users. The arm rests are padded and are fairly wide. The footrest does not extend, so this can be problematic for taller users. Taller users would have to bend their knees to get a foot massage or extend the footrest horizontal to and put their legs through. Our rating in this category is 17.

Ease of Use: Intuitive and easy to use are some of the hardest elements to get right with today’s electronics. Massage chairs have so many features, that some controllers become an unsightly mess. You have to spend hours over the manual to figure some of them out. This severely detracts from the massage therapy environment. Panasonic has a simple control. They incorporate along the top of the control the automatic massages for one button selection. You can tailor massages fairly easy and the learning of the control is rather fast. We give an 18.

Key Features: The Real Pro Ultra by Panasonic has an pressure point sensor and the exclusive Junetsu massage therapy. The human body has around 350 pressure points. There are almost 100 for the back, neck and shoulders. The EP 30003 has a body scan to sense these pressure points. It then tailors the shiatsu style massage to the individual user. Panasonic also developed the Junetsu massage technique into this model. The Junetsu uses firm pressure with a penetrating circular motion for the back. This is a unique massage offered only by Panasonic. We give the EP 30003 an 18 for this category.

Massage Therapies: The lower body air massage has 14 strategically placed air bags. These air bags cover the calves and feet. It also includes the foot reflexology massage. The really fine kneading is a new feature by Panasonic called Junetsu. This massage penetrates deeply providing effective relief. At the top of the control there are 5 automatic programs which include: Refresh, Shiatsu, Deep, Swedish and Stretch. You can also select from 4 manual massage techniques and choose 4 manual massage courses. Manual controls include tapping, kneading, rolling and combination. This midrange model scores a 19 rating from me.

What is the overall rating for the Panasonic Real Pro Ultra EP30003 KU? Adding up our scores, we rate the Panasonic EP30003 KU as an 88/100. The best feature is the Junetsu ultra fine kneading massage. Panasonic developed this for its higher end chairs and was able to integrate into the EP 30003 at a much lower price point. The remote control also has the voice guidance system which is nice for new users.

The warranty is OK. You would hope for better protection from Panasonic, so check out an extended warranty. This is a long term investment for your health. If you are tall, then you may want to try this chair to see how well you fit. If you are looking for a mid range shiatsu massage chair recliner then this could be a good choice for you.

Massage Chairs At The Consumer Electronics Show Are Champion

Friday, March 12th, 2010

This year I went to the Las Vegas 2010 Consumer Electronics Show or CES. This is the largest tradeshow for electronic manufacturers in the whole world. Everything that is new, innovative or hot is on display and most can be tried out. I walked the whole show and was particularly interested in the top massage chairs. These electronic and robotic wonders are getting more effective and sophisticated. Here are some of the best massage chairs that I found.

One of the more interesting massage chairs at the show was the Dream Wave Sogno. The Dream Wave Sogno was the winner of the CES 2010 Innovation Award for its advanced designed and sophistication. This massage recliner has some amazing technology.

One of the features of the Sogno is its air compression massage system. This massage chair has airbags for the neck, arms, hands and most other parts of the body. The air massage around the neck area is very soothing and relieving. This is perhaps the best air compression design for the neck area on the market today. The arm airbags were less impressive as I did not really receive much effectiveness.

The Sogno comes with a rocking seat which is built on a pivot to provide ergonomic support for your spinal column. It makes a wave-like movement to help relieve stress on the spine. This gentle rocking motion is what provides the Dream Wave name for the Sogno. There is some impressive technology in the Dream Wave massage chair and its price is a bit lofty at $6,000.

Another high end chair that I got to try was by Fujiiryoki. The Fujiiryoki chair is produced by Fuji Medical and is listed as an FDA device. The Fujiiryoki chair provides full body massage and has a shoulder press. Air compression is used to inflate airbags around the shoulders that give a firm press.

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.

Omega Massage had the Montage Premier on display. This high end massage recliner has full body massage capabilities and an array of supplemental therapies. I found the Montage Premier gave a firmer and stronger massage than the Sogno or Fujiiryoki chairs. The other interesting differences I found was the Montage Premier had heat, music and traction which the others didn’t.

The Montage Premier also can fit taller people like me better. I am 6 foot 2 inches and I have trouble finding a massage chair that really fits my frame. The leg rest of the Montage Premier can be extended an extra 4 inches. The chair back is also longer than the other chairs and was more comfortable to sit in. At $4,500, the Montage Premier was a deal.

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.

The 2010 CES show was certainly impressive. It attracts over 130,000 people and they were out in force. I was able to get to try the best massage chairs on earth at one place. The best massage chairs were the Montage Premier, Sogno and the Fujiiryoki. These are all solid chairs with some amazing massage therapy and technology. These are the cream of the crop from the 2010 CES show.

The CES is the showcase of consumer electronics and is every year in Las Vegas. This consumer electronics show has almost 3,000 vendors spread between 3 convention centers. It is huge! It is held in early January. You can always count on finding the top manufacturers in every category of consumer electronics. Book early as this show will fill up all those amazing hotels.

The CES is absolutely the show case for the most advanced Massage Chairs in the World. You will see a showcase of everything electronic, the World has to offer. For more information, peruse our massage chair reviews and articles. We feature the best brands of massage chairs for all your needs.

Feel Fit And Fine With A Full Body Massage

Friday, March 12th, 2010

A body massage has a revitalizing effect on the body. It relaxes you, it invigorates you, it refreshes you. Read on to find out how a massage can do wonders for you in more ways than you thought possible.

You must have experienced a fair share of massages given to you, and you must have given others a number of massages yourself. Even at that non-professional level you’ll have noticed how the person receiving the massage feels and reacts. They feel all ‘thawed’ out! Relaxed, comfortable, at ease, tension-free, rested, and energized. That’s the basic idea behind the activity known as a massage. The body massage has found a place of importance in a number of alternative therapies which are a continuation of the ancient, classical medical traditions. Let’s see what a massage therapist does.

You must visit a qualified, trained, professional masseur to get the real benefits of a full body massage. He will take you into a private cabin. There you will have to lie prone on the massage table, with a sheet draped over your body. The massage is given directly to the body areas and so you have to remove your clothes. You can choose to have a general massage or a special deep tissue massage or any other type of massage which is on offer. The choice is yours, and as you gain more experience in getting massaged, you will be better able to make your selection of a specific massage.

The first thing that happens when the massaging starts, is that the blood circulation gets enhanced. ‘Enlivened’ is the proper word for what happens to the blood circulation. The blood being the life force of the body, its increased circulation means the whole body gets livened up. When we exert ourselves physically, the muscles get tired due to the accumulation of certain catabolic wastes. The enhanced circulation washes away these wastes and voila! the muscles are not tired anymore! The blood contains elements which are vital for health or healing in other words. So damaged muscles, ligaments, and tissues get healed faster due to the enhanced blood circulation. That’s why you feel fresh and whole during and after a massage.

In fact, a massage is a simple and natural technique to enhance the blood circulation. We all know that blood is the vital force of our body. So enhanced blood flow translates to enhanced vitality and health. There’s a form of obesity which is due to our lifestyle and habits – general inactivity, improper posture, and incorrect body movements. For example, some people slouch around instead of walking erect and energetically. Massage is a quick fix for such cases, and helps a person to shed unhealthy flab. Your skin benefits from the massage too, turning smoother, tauter, and healthier, and you can feel yourself glowing.

There’s a psychological bonus too! When your body feels invigorated, when your mind feels energized, you begin to feel happy and at peace with yourself and the world. You feel infused with a positive energy that makes you psychologically stronger. The peacefulness you feel translates to tranquility, and you are able to get a good, sound sleep after a proper massage. When you wake up you’ll feel fully rested.

Massage therapy is a form of touch therapy. A touch or a caress shows empathy. It is probably instinctive in those animals that must seek their mother for support and feeding as soon as they are born. Most animals are born blind, and so they depend on touch to find and detect their mother. Even if not blind, young ones nestle and cuddle up against their mother when they sleep, the touch, the feel being sufficient to reassure them of a support system. Our subconscious translates the masseur’s professional touch to a strong, positive symbol of reassurance and of support. Hence, our spirits are lifted and we emerge from the massage psychologically healthy.

Now that we’ve analyzed the effects of a body massage, why don’t you get yourself an appointment with a good, reputed, licensed, professional massage therapist, and help yourself to a veritable bouquet of benefits, physical, mental, and emotional!

Many people are now using electric massage chairs in place of a human massage. While they are not as effective, they do make a fair replacement if you don’t have the time to go to a licensed therapist. Visit www.Full-Body-Massage-Therapy.com for additional information on this plus other types of massage like a hot stone massage.

They spent less time in hospital, had slightly better scores on developmental tests and had slightly fewer postnatal complications, although there were problems with how reliable these findings are.

Product Review: Panasonic Urban Collection EP-1080 KU Massage Chair Recliner

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Panasonic has introduced its new entry-level massage line the new urban collection. The urban collection consists of three different massage chair variations. Each of these massage chairs are designed similarly but differ in the method in which they like massage is delivered. We take a look at the most basic model be EP 1080 KL massage chair.

The new urban collection is a standardized platform for these entry-level Panasonic massage chairs. The EP 1080KL massage chair is styled similarly as the other two models in this collection. You also get the standard programming package of four automatic massage programs.

The new Chiro mode massage is a new technique designed for better muscle relaxation. It also helps to promote good posture by eliminating fatigued muscles. This is a great way to relax and let the massage chair do you work to help you relax and find relief for tight and sore muscles.

The first thing that you’ll notice about the EP 1080 is its new design. Panasonic is finally concentrating on getting more stylish massage chairs into their lineup. The urban collection massage chair comes with a brushed aluminum accents which is a great change over the typical plastic used before.

You’ll find a large number of manual massage techniques at your disposal and the Panasonic EP 1080KL massage recliner. This chair has eight manual massage techniques. Some of the techniques include rolling, tapping, compression and even Hawaiian style massage. This makes it easy to find a technique to suit your mood.

Loosening up tight muscles is the specialty of the Panasonic EP 1080 KL massage chair. You can simply utilize a kneading style massage. This is a side to side motion which is great for loosening up large muscles especially the back. You can even position the rollers in the area that you would like massage.

We love that Panasonic has included the Hawaiian massage and the EP 1080 KL massage chair. This is not a very common technique to find. It is good for loosening up your shoulders and back. It uses a swaying side to side motion which is very effective.

The EP 1080 KL massage chair has a floating mechanism for massaging the back. This floating mechanism has a number of movements similar to that of a wrist. This enables it to provide many different types of massage movements which add to possibilities for relief.

Did you know that you have over 350 acupoints in your body? There are nearly 100 acupoints alone in your back and neck areas. The EP 1080 uses a variety of different massage techniques to target your acupoints. Targeting the acupoints helps to release energy in your body which has become blocked.

The EP 1080 comes with an electronically controlled recline. You can recline back 170. This helps you find the proper position to receive an effective massage. Get a luxurious massage every time with the new urban collection from Panasonic.

The warranty of the EP 1080 is covered by the manufacturer Panasonic. Their warranty gives you three years of parts coverage and one year of labor. This is a fairly basic warranty for the price level of the massage chair.

The EP-1080 gives you a good range of massage techniques and a fairly attractive contemporary design. There are a number of effective techniques included in this model.
