25 Jun 09 Panasonic EP 1285 Massage Chair Recliner Review
Panasonic has introduced a new series of modern urban massage recliners. Here’s a review of the Panasonic EP 1285 model massage chair, I hope you can get a step closer to your buying decision after getting some more information from me. It seems finally Panasonic has been delivered the message that a massage chair could be made to look like a piece of other furniture around home. That is a nice way of looking at simple gadgets like a massage chair.
As any Recliner may have many moving parts and a good number of electronic parts, it’s imperative to have a detailed study of the warranty clause that is as good as an insurance policy. Make sure that you have ample of warranty coverage to protect you from getting stuck in case of break-downs.
Panasonic provides you with one-year coverage on parts for The EP 1285. It also offers one year of on-site service or in-home service. This is a very helpful feature of warranty coverage as it is better to have it serviced at home rather than taking it out somewhere. The rollers in the chair back are warranted for a period of three years. That’s the basic warranty coverage. But, you have the option of going in for an extended warranty.
You will be excited by the new designs being offered in this series of modern urban massage recliner. One of the major complaints about these types of chairs had been that they were difficult to get jelled with the rest of the interior designs of most of the households.
This recliner is programmed to offer nine basic massage modes. Here’s a list of the massage modes: Swedish, chiropractic, kneading, Hawaiian, percussion, compression, tapping, shiatsu and rolling massage. Isn’t it thrilling to have such a variety in a single recliner? Primarily these are all manual massages that may be directed to specific areas to suit your convenience.
Included in this chair are pre-programs too. Pre-programs imply automatic massage programs that control the whole chair. This allows you to get a full body massage by the mere push of a single button. There is a feature that allows you to adjust the chair to your shoulder height, thus facilitating for a better personalized massage.
The leg rest is fitted with an air ottoman system. It provides massage to cover both the calves and the feet. The bottom portion of the leg rest allows you to stake your legs through. The air ottoman has 12 airbags that go to provide a better coverage of the calves and feet.
The EP 1285 is provided with a leg stretch. The leg stretch stretches out the lower body by making use of the leg rest that is raised horizontal and the airbags are activated to hold the feet. Then, the leg rest is slowly lowered to three different positions, thereby causing the lower body to stretch out.
This model from Panasonic incorporates Swede-Atsu urban massage technology. It makes use of two to four firm rubber massage heads. These heads provide relaxation of muscles of hand by pressing its heels and gently stroking the palm. This gives quite a realistic feeling of being massaged.
To sum up we’ll say that:
- Panasonic has indeed improved upon the styling and design of the chair. That makes it easier for the buyer to carry out adjustments to make it jell with the rest of the interiors.
- The massage is delicate and effective.
- The air system in the leg rest is effectively helpful in improving blood circulation in the lower legs.
It would be worthwhile to check out on Panasonic if you are out to buy a massage chair.
