Hi Everyone,

What are your thoughts on these massage chairs? Does anybody have experience with these? They're pretty pricey so hence the need to do a fair bit of research. 😁

Cheers.

I've tried out all top tier massage chairs.

iRelax is exceptional at food massages - very strong and very satisfying. Osim has a very weak food massage function.

I would avoid Osim as their reliability is not great.

BTW I also tried the 20k iRobot from iRelax lol

At those prices I can get my weekly hour long massage from a nice old Balinese lady for roughly another 4 - 5 years :)

So is it best to have a massage with a full or empty tummy?

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Thanks. Do you know why everyone says Osim is not reliable? I've heard a few people say that now. Was quite surprised at first as I thought Osim was the better brand at first initially.

Oh and what did you think about the robot chair? I saw that one too and was wondering what it would feel like!

I'm not sure but having owned it once it broke down.

My friend's parents one broke down too.

I would avoid Osim.

Lol someone was selling a second hand Osim uDeluxe for a grand (says its normally 5 grand on the website) so bit the bullet and bought it. They were moving to Aus so needed a quick sale. Barely used too. Tried it out this arvo and I mean, it's not too shabby, especially considering the price tbh!

Let's see how long before it breaks down haha.
