Robotic Massage Chairs

This is a review of the Panasonic EP 1285 model massage chair. This is a new series of contemporary urban massage recliners from Panasonic. This series is the first attempt to begin to match the decoration of most homes. Almost every massage chair released from Panasonic unfortunately has looked like a massage chair. This is a good break with past tradition.

We always encourage you to first compare the warranty coverage of the different chairs that you are interested in purchasing. Warranty coverage will provide you with peace of mind and protection down the road. Although it is rare that a problem occurs, it does happen. You want to be covered so that you can get the most out of your purchase.

Panasonic provides you with a one year warranty coverage of parts on EP 1285. They also provide you with three years of warranty coverage on the roller mechanism. The roller mechanism is the system that provides the massage for the back and shoulders. You also receive one year of in-home technician service. This is a critical service to have, so any problems you have a technician will come to you.

The contemporary urban massage recliner series is an exciting development from Panasonic. This is a clear change in direction from the typical industrial designs of the past. Now, Panasonic is introducing some contemporary and sleek designs into their lineup.

This recliner comes with nine basic massage modes. The massage modes include Swedish, chiropractic, kneading, Hawaiian, percussion, compression, tapping, shiatsu and rolling massage. This is a fantastic variety to have in a single recliner. These are basically manual massages which can be directed to specific areas for your convenience.

Select from four different automatic massage programs with the EP 1285 massage recliner. Each of the automatic massage programs controls the entire chair. With the push of a single button you can get a full body massage. These programs also allow you to adjust them based on the height of your shoulder.

The leg rest comes with an air ottoman system. The leg rest provides massage coverage for both the calves and the feet. The bottom portion of the leg rest of it’s to allow you to stake your legs through. The air ottoman also comes with 12 airbags to provide better coverage of the calves and feet.

Panasonic has incorporated a new leg stretch technology and to the leg rest. The stretching technology works to alleviate stiffness and your hips, lower back and thighs. It uses a combination of holding your legs with air pressure and the rising and lowering of the leg rest.

The EP 1285 also uses the latest sweetheart to urban massage technology from Panasonic. This technology uses two or four rubber massage heads. These massage heads are used to replicate the palm, heel of the hand and the thumbs. This unique design is patterned after the movements of a master masseuse.

Overall, we like to do contemporary design of the EP 1285. Panasonic has done a good job in styling this chair to match with the decoration in more homes. The massage techniques used in this recliner are subtle yet effective. The air system in the leg rest is effective in helping improve the circulation of the lower legs. This is a good step forward for Panasonic and is a massage chair that you should check out.
