Warranty & Customer Service: It is important that the manufacturer stand behind its product. The warranty coverage is always a good benchmark of the manufacturer's confidence in its product. The company has a 1 year labor, 1 year parts and 1 year in-home service as well as 1 year shipping. The company has a machine hour counter and the warranty expires after 1,000 hours of use. The company has average warranty coverage. Customer service is through your retailer or national service centers. Service time and quality is variable and dependent on where service is obtained.

Comfort & Ergonomics: Massage chair recliners should fit the body and be comfortable to site on. The Real Pro Elite has soft padded armrests. This recliner has a soft upholstered detachable head pillow to support the head. Overall, the chair is comfortable to sit in. One point of restriction is the footrest. The footrest stays at a fixed length and cannot be adjusted for taller individuals. If you are taller, then you can raise the footrest horizontal and put your legs straight through. You then miss the foot compression massage.

Ease of Use: Ease of use is defined as how intuitive the controls and how complicated are they to use without reading the instructions. The Manufacturer has lead in the development of remote controls using LCDs and other advanced features. The Real Pro Elite has many features and correspondingly many buttons on the control. Most are intuitive, but some take some getting used to, which means lower ease of use. The Manufacturer tries to compensate for this with its "Voice Guidance" feature. The automatic massage buttons are located across the top of the controls for easy access and they have a "focus" button which allows you to repeat the massage action that occurred. The Real Pro Elite has a side panel with additional manual massage controls for the lower body massages.

Key Features: The most prominent features of the Real Pro Elite are the 33 airbags in the lower body air system and the Swede-Atsu massage system. The lower body air system has a total of 33 airbags and provides great coverage for the hips, thighs, buttocks, calves and feet. The compression air massage gently, but firmly squeezes the lower body to release tension and soreness. The Swede-Atsu uses rubber massage heads. These rubber massage heads coupled with the software replicate the stoking of the palms of the hand, pressing by the heel of the hand, or the kneading with the thumbs. The massage is solid and does a thorough job of relieving tension and stress.

Massage Therapy: The massage functions are included in the Real Pro Elite includes Four 14-minute Pre-Programs, One 5-minute Quick Program and One 14-minute Self Program has 4 full body automatic courses, 5 massage speed settings for a total combination of 14 massage courses. The automatic massage functions include the following: Shiatsu, Gentle, Deep and Refresh. The company equips this lounger with its exclusive Swede-Atsu massage system providing a thorough and realistic array of massage therapy choices. The lower body has 33 airbags of coverage and three programs to choose from. This shiatsu massage chair provides good tension relief for the lower body and increased lateral coverage on the back.
