Product Review Of The Panasonic EP 1285 Massage Chair
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.
Looking for a massage chair is very exciting. There are many interesting features styles and models to compare. However, one of the basic areas you need to check is the warranty coverage. The warranty coverage is your long-term protection against problems. You want to be able to use your chair and not have to worry about anything that could go wrong in the future.
The EP 1285 comes with their standard one-year coverage on parts. It also provides for one year of on-site service or in-home service. This is an important aspect of warranty coverage as it is better to have it serviced in your home rather than you have to take it somewhere. The rollers in the chair back are covered for three years. This is basic warranty coverage and you may want to consider getting an extended warranty.
We are excited at the new design that the contemporary urban massage recliner series is bringing to the table. One of the biggest complaints about these types of chairs is they are hard to integrate into the decoration of your home.
The contemporary urban massage recliner series comes with an arsenal of massage treatments. There are nine different manual massage techniques contained in this chair alone. You can choose from Hawaiian, shiatsu, Swedish or even chiropractic. Each of these massages can be used to target specific areas such as stiff shoulders or a sore lower back.
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.
An air massage system has been integrated into the leg rest. The air massage covers both the calves and feet. The EP 1285 comes with 12 airbags located to target the calves and feet. These are specially designed to help improve the circulation. They are designed to synchronize and such a way to push and an upward motion to help with circulation in the lower legs.
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.
Panasonic incorporates its Swede-Atsu urban massage technology. This utilizes two to four firm rubber massage heads which are used to stimulate the stroking of the palm and the pressing of the heel of the hand. This provides a realistic massage feeling. These massage techniques help to relax the muscles.
The EP 1285 massage chair from Panasonic is the mark of a new design paradigm from this company. Although this is a good start in that direction, there are still some design elements that consumers may wrestle with such as the leg rest. Otherwise, the massage programs are comprehensive and fairly effective. The stretching system is a good addition at this price point. If you are looking for a contemporary massage chair then this is the only one that should be on your short list.
