 Review Of Panasonic EP 30004 Massage Chair
 

The Real Pro Ultra series is Panasonic's next advance in their massage chair line. This series incorporates some of its newest technology and functions shared across models. We will take an in-depth view of the EP-30004 Panasonic massage chair. This review evaluates and opinionates on categories such as features, functions and warranty coverage.

One of the first and most important items you need to find out is the warranty coverage. The warranty is your long term protection against problems down the road. Although Panasonic is a household name, it doesn't mean it has the greatest warranty coverage. So beware, that you need to check and find out what the company's warranty coverage is for the massage chair you are looking to get.

So what does Panasonic give you for warranty coverage? With the EP-30004 you get 3 years on parts and 1 year on labor. You do get in home technician service for that first year as well. This is perhaps the most generous part of the warranty. The 1 year labor is just too short. Most manufacturers give you 3 years on the parts. Maybe you can get an extended warranty, but you need to find out.

You are reading this review to learn about the advanced features of the Panasonic EP30004 massage recliner. The Junetsu massage therapy is a deeply penetrating massage type. It makes use of thumb like motions in a circle pattern. While in motion it penetrates into the muscle through to the bone for excellent relief. Additionally, the EP 30004 can stretch you out at both the shoulder and the lower body.

The EP-30004 comes with an arsenal of massage therapies for your enjoyment. There are four pre-programs which are shiatsu, deep, Swedish and stretch. There is also a 5 minute Quick pre-program for which covers a variety of massage techniques and functions. You can use the some massages in manual massage mode for a total 8 possible manual massages. These include ultra knead (Junetsu), shiatsu, kneading, Swedish, stretch, tapping, rolling and grip. There are also 5 ways to target certain regions of your back including: neck, shoulder, middle, lower and full back.

Besides the voice guidance, Panasonic includes the self programming feature. The self programming button will remember the last 5 minutes of massage performed. It then stores it in memory for instant recall. This is particularly effective for regions you want to target for repeated massage therapy. After all, massage therapy is most effective when done on a recurring, frequent basis. You can use the self program for up to four users.

The lower body is covered with an air compression massage system. This system uses strategically place airbags throughout the massage recliner to target the hands, arms, feet, calves, thighs and buttocks. The massage technique is a squeeze, hold and release compression style. This is very soothing and relieving for the extremities of the body. Additionally, there are stretching capabilities for both the legs and the shoulders. These are great to help increase flexibility by elongating the muscles.

We are unimpressed with the look of the design. It tends to be very industrial. However, it is very functional, which hopefully makes up for its lack of savvy design. There is a leg extension which goes an extra five inches. The arms and hands are massaged by lifting up a cover on the armrests. The compression is actually firm. At least the Panasonic design team got rid of the unsightly arm massage apparatus.

Overall rating for us is a B-. We like the Junetsu massage and the air massage for the hands. The arm is weak because of the angle that the arm rest tilts up. The warranty needs a little more beef. The massage therapy is strong and effective. There are advanced features such as voice guidance and memorizing self programs. If you are checking out massage chair recliners in this price range, then use the EP 30004 as the benchmark to beat.

 Thinking Of Purchasing A Robotic Massage Chair?
 

If you are interested in a massage chair, we offer some practical questions you should answer before you start your research. Massage chairs are big ticket items, so you want to take your time and find the right massage chair for you. To help you before you even start looking, we have posed some important questions for your consideration to help guide your massage chair research.

Who will be utilizing the Massage Chair? One of the first questions you want to ask is who do you think will be using it now and in the future? Jot down some names and think about what needs they may have. Do they have certain areas that need attention? What is they height and weight. What are their body types? Who will be the primary users of the massage chair? This will help you get a good idea of what kind of needs the chair needs to satisfy.

Where would you put the Massage Chair? This is always an interesting dilemma for most folks. Everyone can agree on getting a massage recliner, but now where are we going to put it. First, you need to look at the dimensions of the chair when it is fully reclined and the foot rest is fully extended. This is the maximum dimensions of the footprint. Next, you need to determine if the chair will add to or subtract from a certain room. There are some beautiful designs and there are some ugly designs and of course many in the middle. You have to see what room makes the most sense for your situation.

What functions are important in a Massage Chair? The massage chair features should be based on who is going to use the chair and what benefits do they want out of it. If you have lower back pain, then you want massage techniques that can relieve that. If you have sore feet, then a reflexology foot massage is essential. If you have carpal tunnel syndrome, then getting an arm/hand massager is essential. There are many similar functions in each massage chair, but also many unique functions. For instance, you can get massage chairs with heating elements, stretching functions and even a music player. Remember, these chairs are to help you relax and relieve sore muscles.

What should be my budget for a Massage Chair? If you do your homework on what you want out of your massage chair and also who will use it, then this can guide you pretty effectively. We have seen many times that when the features were really well thought out, then it could justify a larger budget to meet the person's requirements. This is obviously not always the case, but you have to be willing to pay for the quality level that you need. Saving a little money now can sometimes cost you much more in the future. In other words, think about the longer term and buy it for a longer term investment.

What warranty information do I need to know? Always ask about the warranty coverage for any massage chair you are contemplating of purchasing. The warranty is your long term protection from defects in materials and workmanship. Warranties vary by model and by manufacturer. Take you time and balance getting a good warranty with a good massage chair.

These are the questions to ponder. Find out what your needs truly are and what they may be in the future. Find out what types of massage therapy can help you the most. Check out the warranty coverage and how long the company has been in business. If you pick up just some basic knowledge, then you can speak intelligently about what you really need. This helps the salespeople to really steer you to the perfect massage chair that will last your for many years to come.
