By Michael Walsh on March 2, 2018

This review is just as much for the vendor, Massage Care Wellness, as for the chair itself. I had been investigating the massage chair options for several months and had decided on a particular chair based off of research and reviews. Not the best way to do it but I did not think there were any dealers in New England that carried multiple brands so I resolved myself to do the best research I could and buy based on the research. I discovered Massage Care Wellness and that they were located in New England.

I sent an inquiry to see if they had any open box or demo chair of the model I wanted. The owner, Alison, responded that they had a demo unit of the chair I wanted and gave me a really great price on it. Now this is where is I am most impressed with Massage Care Wellness and Alison. So she already had the sale in their pocket. There was no need to do any further work.

However, Alison invited me to her showroom in NH and to try out several other chairs that were also demo units for sale just to be sure that the one I picked would really work for me. She spent several hours with me and showed me several different chairs that worked well for me with my particular pain issues. I was impressed with her knowledge of each of the chairs considering the complexity of these high quality chairs. They carry all of the major brands and she has many of the models on display.

One thing that is impossible to find in your research for a massage / therapy chair is what each chair feels like. 3d in one chair can be a totally different experience in another. It really is important to try each of the chairs to see what works well for you. The problem for most of us is that there are not too many stores that carry a range of these chairs to try out.

So far, I really like the i7 chair. It does many things well and only a few things mediocre. What eventually sold me on the i7 was a combination of things:

American made (more or less);
longer warranty than most;
excellent neck massage;
good back massage;
easier to use control system;
smoother massage than some other models, and;
very comfortable to use

Here are some models I tried and here is my results if this helps anyone else with their decision.

Human Touch Novo XT: Very nice chair. Gave a nice experience but did not seem aggressive enough in the neck area which is a primary concern of mine. This is an L track chair that goes down to your gluts area. IMHO, an L track would really need to offer a deep tissue in the hamstring area to be truly useful. It was a nice addition for a massage though. Nowhere near as important to me as neck and back. Nothing else really stood out that would have driven me to this chair.

Osaki Japan premium 4d: Very nice chair as well. Hit all the major spots I was interested in but did not stand out like the 8500 X3 or the i7.
