Review: EP1285 Massage Chair Recliner
Panasonic is introducing its new line of Swede-Atsu urban massage chairs. This new recliner boasts some excellent new features from Panasonic. The top-of-the-line model of this new series is the EP 1285. This is a review of the EP 1285 and will include its advanced features and the warranty coverage. We take an in depth look at this new and exciting massage recliner.
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.
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.
You also get for pre-programs included with this chair. Pre-programs are automatic massage programs that control the whole chair. This allows you to push a single button and receive a full body massage. You can also adjust the chair to your shoulder height for a more customized massage.
The EP 1285 comes with an air massage system and the leg rest. The leg rest has 12 specially designed airbags to help improve the circulation of the lower legs. The airbags are synchronizing to provide a soothing massage by directing the pressure upward from the feet through the calves. This is a soothing and relieving massage.
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.
Panasonic is beginning to understand the importance of matching the interior decorations with suitable massage chair designs. This is a start in the right direction. The nine manual massage programs are a good feature included in this lounger. The air compression massage for the lower legs is pretty effective in helping the circulation of the lower legs. The stretching system is also a nice feature at this price point. If you are looking for a massage chair in this price range then check this one out in more detail.
