Massage Chair Review: Panasonic EP-30004 Massage Recliner

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

The focus of this review is the Panasonic EP 30004 which is part of the Real Pro Ultra series of massage chairs. Unlike most massage recliner reviews, we follow a systematic approach to the review process. We review 5 important areas of the purchase of this product. The 5 areas we use for the review include: Warranty & Customer Service, Comfort/Ergonomics, Ease of Use, Features and Massage Therapy. The overall rating is given by adding up the points earned in each category for a total possible score of 100 points. Here is our evaluation of the EP30004.

Warranty & Customer Service: With any electronic equipment or big ticket item, warranty protection is critical. Although, most massage chairs are built well, there are occasional problems. In this case, you want to make sure you have adequate protection. The EP 30004 comes with a 3 year parts and 1 year labor warranty from the manufacturer. We find this as fairly short and recommend you consider purchasing an extended warranty if it is offered. Customer service is dependent on the retailer the chair is purchased and is thus highly variable. Panasonic earns a 15 in this category.

Comfort & Ergonomics: Ergonomics was a hot topic about 10 years ago when everyone started jumping on the bandwagon. However, surprisingly many manufacturers do not pay close attention to this area. The EP-30004 does follow ergonomics very well. It has a detachable head pillow that can easily be adjusted for each user. The armrests come with sufficient padding to support the arms in comfort. The chair back and the seat support the body well and are form fitting. The leg rest can be adjusted an additional five inches. This is really important to fit individual users. Overall we rate this chair an 18 for ergonomics.

East of Use: The massage chair industry increases the functionality of its chairs every year. With the increase in functionality comes increasing complexity of controls to run them. Our ease of use category is for making the controls of the chair as intuitive as possible for the user. Panasonic is one of the premier electronics companies in the world, so we expect them to completely understand this issue. Panasonic has pioneered the use of a ?Voice Guidance? system in their chairs to help consumers with ease of use. This interactive system enables novice users to quickly understand and use the chair to maximum benefit. The remote is very cleanly designed and intuitive. It is not cluttered like many controllers we evaluate. The remote comes with memory functions that can remember the favorite massages of up to 4 different users. Manual controls are located in the side panel of the remote. Overall Rating for the Panasonic EP 30004 for ease of use is 19.

Key Features: There are two important features we want to point out with this chair. The Junetsu massage technique and the shoulder stretch. The Junetsu massage is an ultra fine kneading massage. It is based on how a professional massage therapist loosens up tight muscles. There is a one second thumb like pressure applied with a spiral circular motion. This has the affect of reverberating down through the muscles to the bone. It is very thorough and invigorating. The other key feature to point out is the shoulder stretch. This unique feature is accomplished by activating the air bag in the arm rest to firmly hold the arm. The chair back then reclines to stretch out the arm and shoulder. This is excellent for increasing the mobility and flexibility of the shoulder area. We give the Real Pro Ultra a 19 for its new features.

Massage Therapy: This massage chair makes use of the nearly 100 acupressure points on your back and neck. Choose from the soothing palm style of Swedish massage, or perhaps deep tissue kneading, or Shiatsu massage. This chair has a variety of techniques for invigorating these energy acupoints. Choose from manual massage courses for the back which focus on a particular area or region. There are two stretch functions included in this recliner. There is one for the lower body and one for the shoulder. For the feet, the foot wells have adjustable and removable plates that incorporate reflexology. The reflexology massages stimulates trigger points on your feet. This helps to increase blood and energy flow throughout the entire body. This chair has many beneficial massage treatments that are very effective. The EP30004 earns a 19 for massage therapy.

The Panasonic EP 30004 rates as a 90/100. We really like the new and innovative features of this recliner. The shoulder stretch is another important advance for massage chair technology. The Junetsu massage technique provides good deep penetration for those hard to get at areas in the back. The remote is simple to use and comes with the voice guidance feature. The manufacturer’s warranty is a bit on the light side and should be beefed up with the purchase of an extended warranty. The only point of concern we have is the industrial look of the chair. We do not understand why Panasonic continues to neglect the design aesthetics of their massage chair line. But overall, this is a very solid chair from an important manufacturer. If you are in the market for a luxury massage chair, then this one should be on your short list of choices.

The spiral circular motion reverberates down through the muscles to invigorate you down to the surface of your bones. This function is a very effective and quick way to get the muscles to release. The other important new feature in the EP 30004 is the shoulder and arm stretch. This function actually provides traction for the arm and shoulder. The stretch is accomplished by the airbags holding the arm and then the chair back moves back slightly to stretch out the arm and shoulder area. This helps to remove tension and to increase your flexibility and joint mobility. The EP 30004 earns a 19 in key features.

Massage Therapy: This massage chair comes with five automatic courses. It includes a Body Scan which is also customizable. Ultra-fine kneading or Junetsu has been introduced to the full complement of Quad-style massage techniques, including Shiatsu, Swedish, fist kneading, and grasping. Between the automatic and the manual functions there are up to 372 combinations of techniques available in this recliner. There are reflexology pads built into the foot wells that pinpoint areas that will instantly increase blood flow and energy throughout your body. These plates are adjustable and removable. You also have both a lower body stretch and the shoulder stretch. This chair has a virtual arsenal of massage techniques to cater to your every need. We score the massage therapy of this chair a 19.

The Panasonic EP 30004 rates as a 90/100. We really like the new and innovative features of this recliner. The shoulder stretch is another important advance for massage chair technology. The Junetsu massage technique provides good deep penetration for those hard to get at areas in the back. The remote is simple to use and comes with the voice guidance feature.

Amazon Kindle 2 The Wirelss Ebook Reader

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

The transformation of peoples reading experience these days is probably a phenomenal contribution in the history of technological advancement. Individuals used to hold a paper-made book and start reading through its pages. This time, there is no more thumbing over the pages of your favourite books as Amazon designed a totally new reading device called the Kindle eBook Reader. With this electronic book reader, reading experience is a lot more convenient and easy for everyone.

Amazon Kindle is an electronically controlled book reader which serves as the modern alternative for the printed and bound books. Amazon made the original Kindle, and later on introduced the much more enhanced Kindle 2. It comes with a remarkable portable size at 0.9 cm, which now weighs at 0.3 kilogram. You can imagine how light the device is and how easy it is to be brought anywhere you go. The second edition of Kindle is more advanced than the original Kindle.

The original Kindle for sure had some downsides and limitations. Thus, it has been upgraded to Kindle 2 to feature a much improved performance, better internal memory, built-in speakers and the text-to-speech audio reading addition. The device keyboard has been designed to become much easier to navigate. The keys are in circular shape and the space bar has been made longer. With the easy-to-use keyboard, you will be able to enter some notes while reading, keying in text for searches at the Kindle store and typing in the URLs upon surfing the web.

The text on the device is very legible to read on because they are using e-Ink technology. E-ink enables the words and letters look like the ones people read from the bound books. For this reason, your eyes will be protected from any possible defects. With the new Kindle 2, individuals are given the option to adjust the text font size into six different levels. The purpose of this is to provide the users with different choices to pick from.

The free built-in wireless connection called Whispernet makes Kindle 2 unique. It allows the users to access the site on where to buy Kindle 2. With Whispernet, customers will get to quickly download books from Kindle store and files are sent to the machine in just a few minutes. The new version of Kindle is definitely the answer to speed-up the process of getting your desired books to read. With the wireless connection, users can shop, buy and download books right on the Kindle 2 device.

This second version of Amazon Kindle is very useful especially to those people who travel a lot. They dont need to load themselves with paper-made books when travelling. All they should do is purchase a handy and more importantly a user-friendly machine such as Kindle 2. There is actually a lot to appreciate with this upgraded Kindle. Amazon has indeed given the people with a whole new different reading experience.

Reasons To Buy Amazon Kindle eBook Reader

Monday, September 21st, 2009

As with most things modern, reading is inevitably trending towards being e-based. It starts with the shopping, ordering and then receiving (downloading) of the books. All this is accomplished in one go online in a matter of minutes. Even the reading proper is hi-tech. It is reading made easy by technology and if it could ‘change Oprah’s life’, it will change yours too when you Buy Kindle 2.

Plenty of new-brand e-book readers are coming onto the bandwagon fast and furious but the safest bet is still placed with the long established top two players: the Amazon Kindle and Sony PRS respectively. Between them they dominate the market and deservedly so. With the launch of the Kindle 2, the talk in reading circles is that Amazon has put itself in a league solely of its own drawing away even from the Sony PRS.

The Amazon Kindle 2 electronic reader is engineered to download blogs, books, newspapers, and magazines. Periodicals are automatically sent to the device. Technology has afforded us with a very practical alternative to holding a book, magazine or other reading material and turning from one page to another. The Amazon Kindle is indeed powerful and is only surpassed by its successor the Kindle 2.

The trademark feature of the Kindle reader has to be its Whispernet wireless service. So far, it’s the only eBook reader equipped with this facility. Readers are in constant touch with the bookstore and subscriptions plus synchronized with other devices associated with their Kindles through its Whispersync network and all this for free by Amazon. The service is powered by 3G technology so it doesn’t have to be within any hotspot zone to be functional.

Yes, the Amazon Kindle eBook Reader is but a book. And what a book! It’s any book you wish, out of 275,000 and you can carry more than a thousand of them everywhere you go and access the rest in less than 60 seconds. Amazon has publicly stated its goal of availing any book that’s ever printed in electronic form for the Kindle within the US. That’s a tall order but based on their track record, you don’t want to bet against it.

Review Of The Panasonic EP30003 TU Massage Chair

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

We evaluate the Panasonic Real Pro Ultra in 5 categories including Warranty & Customer Service, Comfort/Ergonomics, Ease of Use, Features and Massage Therapy. Each individual category is given equal weight of 20 potential points. This systematic approach helps to present massage chairs from the same vantage point to help make comparison easier. If you are looking for a massage chair, then check out the Real Pro Ultra. The model EP 30003 is a mid range model.

Warranty & Customer Service: It is important that the manufacturer stand behind its product and provides good customer service. Panasonic has 1 year labor and 3 year parts. Panasonic uses a counter to monitor the machine hours. The warranty will expire after 1,000 hours of use. Panasonic has average warranty coverage. Customer service is through your retailer or national service centers. Service time and quality is variable and dependent on where service is obtained. Our Rating in this category is 16.

Comfort & Ergonomics: Ergonomics is the practical element of design for comfort and fit of the body. The massage chair is built for relaxation, so the design must assist in getting the user comfortable and within reach. Panasonic takes ergonomics serious and does a solid job with the Real Pro Ultra. The back pad is plush, with an adjustable head pillow. The armrests are padded. The remote is fairly simple and intuitive for a massage chair. One area that is lacking is a footrest extension. This chair was not originally designed for the American market, so taller users may not fit as well. We rate this chair as a 17 for ergonomics. The head pillow can be adjusted to fit different heights of users. The arm rests are padded and are fairly wide. The footrest does not extend, so this can be problematic for taller users. Taller users would have to bend their knees to get a foot massage or extend the footrest horizontal to and put their legs through. Our rating in this category is 17.

Ease of Use: With more and more features, options and choices being offered in massage chairs, ease of use is important. Some remote controls are clustered with a mind boggling array of controls. The problem is to learn all these options. The top manufacturers design controls and adjustments to be intuitive and easy to understand and use. Panasonic has vast experience with electronics and uses that to keep its controls simple and intuitive. The control is well designed and the descriptions accurate to keep learning fast. We rate it an 18 for this category.

Key Features: The Real Pro Ultra by Panasonic has an pressure point sensor and the exclusive Junetsu massage therapy. The human body has around 350 pressure points. There are almost 100 for the back, neck and shoulders. The EP 30003 has a body scan to sense these pressure points. It then tailors the shiatsu style massage to the individual user. Panasonic also developed the Junetsu massage therapy into this model. The Junetsu uses firm pressure with a penetrating circular motion for the back. This is a unique massage offered only by Panasonic. We give the EP 30003 an 18 in this category.

Massage Therapy: The lower body air massage has 14 strategically placed air bags. These air bags cover the calves and feet. It also includes the foot reflexology massage. The really fine kneading is a new feature by Panasonic called Junetsu. This massage penetrates deeply providing effective relief. At the top of the control there are 5 automatic programs which include: Refresh, Shiatsu, Deep, Swedish and Stretch. You can also select from 4 manual massage techniques and choose 4 manual massage courses. Manual controls include tapping, kneading, rolling and combination. This midrange model scores a 19 rating.

Ok, the moment of truth. The overall rating for the Panasonic EP 30003 is an 88/100. This is a solid rating for a solid chair. The Real Pro Ultra is a good performer in the mid range massage chair market. The reflexology foot massage and the addition of Junetsu massage is great value at this price point. The warranty is OK. You would hope for better protection from Panasonic, so check out an extended warranty. This is a long term investment for your health. If you are tall, then you may want to try this chair to see how well you fit. If you are looking for a mid range shiatsu massage chair recliner then this could be a good choice for you.

Fantastic Starting Level Massage Chair

Monday, September 7th, 2009

If you are interested in a massage chair, then do yourself a favor and start by looking at the best. We will take a look at the best entry level massage chair. These massage chairs provide full body massage capabilities. A massage chair with full body capabilities usually starts at $1,500. We are going to show you the best entry level massage chair that you can get and it runs about $1,000.

Let us take a minute and define a full body massage chair. There are many chairs and back pads that provide some limited massage capabilities. However, a full body massage chair is a one-piece chair that has the capability to massage the legs, buttocks and back. Some chairs, like the ijoy or Homedics would not qualify as a full body massage chair.

There are many massage type chairs that are under $1,000, but they are missing massage capability in the seat and many of these are very low to the floor as opposed to a traditional chair. What we are interested in is a full body massage chair that can provide effective massage to your back, buttocks, thighs, calves and feet.

The M-2 Orion massage chair is the best entry level massage chair. The M2 Orion is made by Omega Massage. The Orion has full body massage capabilities including the back, shoulders, buttocks, thighs, and legs. You can find the M-2 for just under $1,000, making this chair one of the best values on the market today. This massage recliner has some very stimulating and invigorating massage therapies.

Omega M-2 Orion: The M-2 is a contemporary and sleekly designed executive massage chair. The M-2 Orion comes with a unique Sway style massage. The Sway massage is excellent for loosening tight back muscles. The gentle side to side motion helps to stretch the muscles and breakdown the stiffness. The M-2 has a negative ion bar to remove stale oxygen away from the body. This helps to have a healthier massage as air is more properly circulated during the massage.

There are three timed pre-programs with the M2 Orion massage recliner. Just push one button and the automatic program runs you through a full body massage. You can also target specific areas and utilize a specific massage technique with the manual massages of the Orion. There are three manual massage techniques including kneading, swaying and finger press. Use these manual massages to relieve certain areas of tension in your back and shoulders.

One of the first things you notice when getting a massage from the Orion is that it has an exhilarating massage for the buttocks and thighs. The seat actually has eight massage heads that provide a thorough massage treatment. You can add vibration for stimulation of the capillary vessels which promotes greater blood circulation. An extra seat cushion is provided for extra comfort.

The M-2 Orion is simply the best entry level massage chair available today. If you are thinking of massage chairs under just under $1,000, then you should really check out the difference a few hundred dollars can make. The M-2 Orion massage chair is really a chair compared to an i-joy. The i-joy sits very low to the ground and some people may have trouble getting in and out of them. Many of the low end chairs sit on the floor and people find them hard to get out of after a massage. Also, you can pick up full body massage capabilities with the M-2 Orion, for instance. If you are seriously looking at a massage chair, then you really should see how the M-2 Orion by Omega Massage may be the perfect massage chair solution for you.
