Wow! I rather enjoyed the way you managed to put your thoughts into an intelligent, well-written article. I will share this with friends and family.
Great thread. Enjoyed the posts.
Very interesting information! Perfect and just what I was searching for!
Hello Steph
What a great website for consumers.
Would it be possible to include information concerning the country of manufacture for each model. For example the Inada Dreamwave is made in Japan but I’m not sure about Panasonic or Fujita?
Many thanks

Hi Garry,
Thank you for the positive feedback. Most massage chairs are manufactured in China with the exception of Inada and a few others. I would suggest contacting each individual brand to find out.

Fujita smk9100 vs kn9003
Would the intensity of massage be better for the kn9003 and does the kn9003 head massage work better? I’m trying to decide which model I prefer–the music option of the 9100 means nothing to me. I would like a more “intense” massage experience, I’m 5 6 and wife is 5 3. Thanks, Doug.
Hi Doug,
Thank you for reaching out with such a great question. The KN9003 will be a better chair, however it may be took big for your wife. We’ve also seen a decline in the quality of Fujita massage chairs but are happy to suggest some alternatives. For a very deep tissue massage check out the Infinity IT-8500 massage chair. For a similar but more high quality massage chair check out the Osaki OS-7075r. The OS-7075r is very similar and from what other people have mentioned has much better quality and better support if something were to ever go wrong. I hope that helps, and I’m always here to help answer any questions.

I have bought 2 massage chair spent over $7500 as a birthday present for my mom and grandmother. I was told these chairs had a 5 years limited warranty on them. One of the chair wouldn’t recline after 3months. The Korean guy name Andy who sold to me said these will be covered by. the warranty and they will send some one over to take a look. I live about 35 mins from brea, Ca. However, it’s almost been two years. The chair is still seating in my moms room, she had injured herself by clawing out of the chair as well. Poor, poor and poor service! I will never buy them again. Model KN9003

Hi Jim,
Thank you for commenting. I’ve heard numerous times about the same poor experience people have had with their Fujita chairs. We hope this helps for anyone who’s thinking of buying one.
