InstaShiatsu+ Massage Chair MC-1500

I rarely do reviews but since this was such a big purchase for me in the COVID environment, I figured I�d pay it forward with my initial thoughts: - 175 lbs 5�9� Male,- I enjoy deep tissue / hard pressured massage. To me, this chair provides adequate strength. The less layer of clothes you have on, the harder the massage is. I find myself pressing my body harder down towards the chair for the spots I want a deeper pressure on. - my girlfriend hates this chair. It hurts her. I am now looking for a possible 4-D replacement so she can enjoy it too. - Assembly: easy to assemble. Instructions not very clear but like an IQ test, the 4 different parts should be pretty easy to figure out. It took 1 person 45 minute to get out of the box and assemble. Probably 15 minutes for 2. - Remote Functions: settings are fine but just some odd placements / functions. 20minute preset settings just ends with the chair in the existing position. If you want to exit the chair, you have to power on and power off again. If you want another massage, you have to power on again, the chair then automatically resets to default position, and you would have to reset it back to your previous position. Hope this helps everyone shopping. Probably a 3.5 stars for me. 4 if they fixed the remote / power on & off functions.

We've got it for a few weeks now and used it daily. Overall pretty satisfied with the massage chair. A couple of small things I don't like. The foot roller is not comfortable. The headrest could be better. I feel like there's no support there.

I ordered this massage chair June 23rd and received it two weeks later. I could not get it to save my settings into memory so I asked TruMedic. It took them 3 months to get me the answer. There are a few things I wish it did, or did differently. Here are some examples: 1) when it finishes its 20 minute cycle, it just turns off and stops, even if it is in the zero gravity position. I think it should return to the starting position; 2) it should allow the user to add or adjust the time, but it only has 20 minute sessions. If the user wants a longer massage, they have to let it run its program and then start it again and pick all the selections; 3) it would be nice if the heat option could be run by itself. After the massage is over the user could remain in the chair with heat only; 4) a good option would be to have different intensities for the arms and legs. I would like the highest intensity for the arms but the lowest for the legs; 5) it would be awesome if the chair massaged hands in addition to the arms. Other than that, and the very slow customer service, it's a nice chair and I believe it has helped me relax and get rid of knots in my back.

The remote takes a little getting used to, but overall its a great massage chair. It's definitely firm, but that is how it should be, and how we like it. I do question this chair's long term durability though. After just a month of ownership, I feel like the rollers are already shifting a little in position. But so far, so good.

The only negative is the foot rest does not extend fully when you elevate your legs. It is like the spring is too tight and you have to lightly push it down to make it stay. Otherwise, it is great.
