17 Oct 10 Fujikura 1000 Massager Review
The Fujikura massage chair is available in three models – the 900, 1000, and 2000 – the 1000 chair falls in the mid-priced category. Its price makes it all the more attractive. Here, let’s look at what the chair has to offer and what it lacks.
First of all, the 1000 Fujikura massage chair has stylish looks with a contemporary design. Upholstered in man-made leather it is available in brown, black, and ivory. Don’t get the idea that synthetic leather is used for the purpose of economy. You should understand that real leather isn’t the ideal material for a robotic massage chair because it just can’t bear the strain of moving rollers plus air bags for long. Perhaps the best massage chairs all over the world are manufactured by Inada and all of them are upholstered in synthetic leather.
Here, let’s compare the features of the 1000 with two other massage chairs of the same price range. First, let’s take the Human touch HT 100 massage chair, a very popular model but slightly costlier and thus is a good yardstick. Another chair we are going to consider is the iJoy 300 robotic massage chair, another popular model but costs a little less than the Fujukara.
A very important feature of a chair is its vertical rolling stroke. The taller you are the longer should be the vertical stroke. On this feature the 1000 wins hands down against the competitors. The 1000 has a vertical rolling stroke of 29”, the HT 100 offers the minimum, just 20″. The iJoy 300 chair – the cheapest of the three comes with 25″.
All the three chairs incorporate power recline but each offers a different angle of recline. The higher the angle to which chair reclines the better it is, both in terms of build quality as well users’ benefit. There again the 100 offers the maximum angle varying from 110 to 170 degrees, compared to the iJoy chair which gives you the minimum recline of 115 to 155 degrees, whereas the HT massage chair has a slightly better angle of 120 to 170 degrees.
The better quality of chairs these days come with the facility of foot massage. In this regard the iJoy is inadequate and has no foot rest, though one may purchase an ottoman without any massage function. The Human Touch massage 100 chair includes a foot massage which has to be adjusted manually for massaging your calves or the feet. It’s only with the 1000 that you get a complete foot rest with both a calf and foot massager. The calf rest comes fitted with 14 air bags and provide four air-massage combinations of 2 intensity levels. The foot rest loaded with 12 airbags provides 4 modes of massage.
The massage functions of the three models are different. The Fujikura 1000 offers 6 functions: rolling (back stretch), kneading, flapping, kneading & flapping, shiatsu, knocking and vibrating. You also get the option of automatic or manual massage operations which can target some specific parts of the body. It has 3 speed settings. The HT100 offers these four functions: rolling, kneading, compression and percussion (with only one speed setting). However, the HT 100 is better than the 1000 because of its Range Control option. You may opt to have spot or partial. When in spot mode, it allows more specific areas of the body to be massaged, while the partial massage strokes 3″ up and down for kneading or compression. The iJoy too offers the same functions as the HT minus the spot option.
Which gives the best massage is a matter of personal preference! The 1000 chair, probably gives a firmer massage, but the HT100 does seem to provide a somewhat more varied massage routine.
On the whole, the Fujikura 1000 massage chair certainly offers the best as far as functions in this price range are concerned. I hardly find any flaw with it, but you may like to have additional features. In such a case be prepared to shell out more money. Yet, I can’t help mentioning one limitation and that concerns its power recline. It isn’t a one push system, and you have to keep pressing the button while the chair reclines. It means that users with a short reach will find it difficult to keep it pressed till the maximum recline position is attained.
In winding it up, if you plan to have one of the best robotic massage chairs in this price range, you should not neglect the Fujikura massage chair.

EP30006 Panasonic Ultra Deep Massage Chair
In fact, this chair from Panasonic copies the artistic style of massage techniques as used by a professional massager.
