We will focus on the EP-3222 massage chair lounger by Panasonic. The EP3222 is part of the Real Pro Elite series of massage chairs. This massage lounger is one of the luxury models produced by Panasonic. It includes some advanced technology features such as a body scan to customize the massage for each individual user. We will take a look at some of these advanced features and functions. We will also touch on the warranty and provide you our insights into the EP-3222 massage chair recliner.

Warranty coverage is an important aspect of purchasing any manufactured product these days. Although quality levels continue to improve and the incidence of breakdown is minimal, you still want to make sure you have protection. Warranty coverage is like obtaining an insurance policy. One you hope to never use, but just in case it is there if you need it.

The EP-3222 Real Pro Elite comes with warranty coverage from Panasonic. Panasonic gives you 3 years parts and 1 year labor on this chair. This coverage is below what other manufacturers give you. Most manufacturers provide in home technician service for at least 90 days and in some cases for up to 1 year. Panasonic does allow you to purchase an extended warranty at additional cost.

Panasonic integrates some fancy technology to truly customize the massage for each user. When starting an automatic program, the massage chair performs a body scan. The EP 3222 makes a virtual map of your back. It locates your acupressure points. This is then inputted into the chair’s computer and the program then focuses on stimulating your individual acupressure points during the course of the massage.

Panasonic has gone to great lengths to study and replicate the actual hand movements of massage therapists. The result is a floating massage mechanism to mimic the hands of a therapist. This mechanism has firm rubber massage heads. These massage heads replicate hand movements like pressing with the thumbs or the heel of the hand.

There is no shortage of massage techniques with this massage recliner. Panasonic equips this chair with 11 basic massage modes, 6 automatic programs and memory capability to store your favorite massages. Some of the more important massage techniques include Swedish, Kneading, Compression, Tapping, Shiatsu and Rolling. These massage techniques are effective to relieve aches, relax muscles, increase energy flow and increase blood flow.

Do you need relief of the lower body? The EP-3222 delivers! Panasonic incorporates an air massage system with an incredible 33 air bags. Each air bag targets a specific muscle, so you get a tremendous coverage. The air massage system provides an effective compression massage technique. This provides a firm squeezing action. This squeezing action helps to soothe and relieve sore muscles.

Panasonic has an advanced remote control which enables you to exactly target where you want relief. Whether you choose to run an automatic program at the touch of a single button or you want to relieve a knotted muscle in your back, the Real Pro Elite provide the massage you want. Panasonic has included a voice guidance system which helps walk you through the steps of getting the perfect massage every time.

Other advanced features include a stretch function for the lower body. When this function is activated, the leg ottoman will raise horizontal. The airbags will activate to hold the feet. The leg ottoman will begin to lower slowly. This stretches the leg, knee and hip to relieve tension from stiff muscles. This also helps increase your flexibility and range of motion.

The Panasonic Real Pro Elite series has some other massage functions that we did not review like the Swede-Atsu that provides realistic feeling massage therapy. This is also incorporated in the EP3222 model. The massage therapies are good and the variety will enable you to get practically every type of ache, pain or tension relieved on demand. Our only concern with Panasonic is the short warranty on the labor. Other than that the EP 3222 is a solid massage chair and worthy of your further consideration.

No matter how things change in our societies and lives, there are some things that remain the same. This is what happens in the case of weddings and ceremonies. They are considered to be the centre of human life, and of course people buy all the tokens of love that go inevitably with them. Engagement rings are the most common ones, although for most people finding cheap diamond engagement rings can be really hard.

The problem for most men is that diamond is a girl’s best friend, as they say. At least for most of them. If you are looking for cheap diamond engagement rings, then it’s most likely that you will come across a vast selection of them, since there are numerous available in the market today. In most cases the rings are expensive, but nowadays, mostly due to the competition, there are many bargains as well.

Engagement rings are tokens of love and they reflect your admiration and respect for the woman you want to share your life with, so they have to be special. Cheap in this case doesn’t necessarily mean ugly or poor quality. There are bargain diamonds everywhere which are wonderful and impressive; in many cases you would be surprised at how affordable some can be.

Research is the key element here. You need to determine how much money you can afford spending, and then start looking. The great advantage that you have is that today you don’t have only the traditional stores to look in, but also numerous stores online, even in different countries. It is important to find the right place for you. You can find really many websites that offer cheap diamond rings, or at least the chance to get different options.

Doing so, you will be able to compare the qualities and prices and decide what is the best for you. If you are not up to this though, thinking that you cannot be sure how good and safe your purchase online can be, then there are always the local stores. Some of them do not look fancy, but still sell some really nice things, that will help you impress your future wife.

It is not difficult to find rings at a lower cost in local stores, because most of them have different categories of engagement rings. Don’t forget that there are some factors that determine the price of rings, such as the size and carats of the diamond gem, so you can really find something smaller and cuter, and very affordable.

In some cases looking for an antique diamond ring is a good idea, both because they can be less pricey, but also because they carry a lot of history and they are ideal for women who like nice things from older eras.

It is important to remember that above all your love is what counts and women, although fascinated by the idea of a diamond engagement ring that costs a fortune, care far more about the real fortune? your love. Even if you make some compromise with the price of the ring she knows the love that goes with it will never be compromised and with the options available to you today it is easier than ever to compromise on price without sacrificing the sheer quality and beauty your woman desires.

This is a review of the Panasonic EP 30003 Real Pro Ultra massage chair. Our system of massage chair review is based on 5 categories. We give each category equal weight of up to 20 points. We add them all up to give a possible score of 100 points. This systematic approach helps guide users by giving apples to apples comparisons of different massage chairs and manufacturers. Let us take an in-depth look at the midrange model EP 30003 Real Pro Ultra by Panasonic.

Warranty & Customer Service: How good is the warranty of a given chair? Do you have to buy an extended warranty? How well does the manufacturer back their product? Panasonic gives you 1 year labor and 3 year parts. Service is obtained through your retailer or via national service centers. Obviously service varies substantially based on the retailer where it was purchased. Panasonic also builds in an machine hour counter. This enables Panasonic to provide 1,000 hours of warranty coverage. Once the counter hits 1,000 hours, then the warranty ends. To match other manufacturers, you may want to purchase an extended warranty. We give a rating of 16 in this category.

Comfort & Ergonomics: The comfort and fit of any chair is important for the use. Panasonic usually makes it chairs pretty ergonomic. The Real Pro Ultra is no exception. The back pad is comfortable and plush. 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 key features for the EP 30003 is the Junetsu massage and the reflexology foot massage. Panasonic has developed an ultra fine kneading technique. Junetsu uses one-second circular thumb-like movements. This helps to loosen knotted or tight muscles. The circular motion penetrates down through the muscle tissue. The foot reflexology massage reflexology nodules built into the foot wells of the foot rest. An air compression system is used to gently squeeze the feet. The reflexology nodules then push up into the pressure points in the feet. The reflexology massage helps to relieve tension throughout the entire body helping you to relax. Our rating of the Panasonic EP30003 TU in this category is an 18.

Massage Therapy: The Panasonic Real Pro Ultra is equipped with customizable self-programs, 5-minute quick refresher massage and 4 other massage programs. The 4 other programs include shiatsu, deep, Swedish and stretch. The lower body air massage includes 14 airbags for calf and foot coverage. The Junetsu or ultra fine kneading is a new feature by Panasonic which is also in this massage recliner. The back rollers give you 132 square inches of coverage. Manual controls include tapping, kneading, rolling and combination. For the price range, the massage therapy is pretty thorough. The ultra fine kneading is a great addition for this price point. Our rating in this category is 19.

What is the overall rating for the Panasonic Real Pro Ultra EP30003 TU? Adding up our scores, we rate the Panasonic EP30003 TU as an 88/100. The best feature is the Junetsu ultra fine kneading massage. Panasonic developed this for its higher end chairs and was able to integrate into the EP 30003 at a much lower price point. The remote control also has the voice guidance system which is nice for new users. The warranty for the Real Pro Ultra is about average. You may want to investigate extended warranties for additional protection. Some taller users may find the chair too small, but try it to be sure. The massage chair is solid and reliable with some good technology for the price point. If you are looking at massage chair recliners in this range, you should check this one out.

Massage chairs are excellent investments in your health and well being. Did you know that you can get a full body massage chair starting at just under $1,000. Think about how convenient having a massage chair at home could be for you and your family. We take a look at the best entry level massage chair available today.

Now, we qualify an entry level chair as one that has full body massage capability. Therefore, we do not consider a massage pad or a chair like an i-joy to be a full body massage chair. Some massage chairs will do your back and maybe with a leg ottoman can massage your legs, but this is not what we consider a full body massage chair. Many times these types come in two parts with the leg ottoman a separate piece of furniture.

You may find many chairs that have some limited massage capabilities, but are missing critical capability in the seat or for the legs. Some chairs, such as ijoys, sit very low to the floor which makes it difficult to exit the chair after receiving a massage. So for a truly full body massage chair it should cover the following areas: back and shoulders, buttocks, calves and feet.

The best massage chair at the entry level is the M-2 Orion by Omega Massage. This massage chair is an excellent value for a massage recliner which can be found for about $1,000. Unlike, an i-joy, the M-2 is a full size recliner. It does your whole body with thorough and effective massage therapy.

The striking design of the M-2 Orion is very appealing. The Orion looks like an a sleek executive chair, but with great massage therapy capabilities. It does not have the bulkiness that many massage chairs have. The nice lines and curves of the M-2 make it perfect for virtually any room in the house. In addition, the M2 has many advanced features that will help to soothe and relieve your aches and pains.

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.

The Orion has an invigorating seat massage. There are eight massage heads that provide a comprehensive massage for the buttocks and thighs. This is great if you have been sitting for extended periods or if you experience soreness. The warranty coverage for the Orion is as follows: 1 year frame, 6 months parts and labor. The M-2 is an excellent value and comes with invigorating and effective massage therapies.

The exciting features of the M-2 Orion massage chair make this chair the complete package. You can look at chairs that provide massage to just one area, but in the longer run, you will wish you went for the extended range of a full body massage chair. Some i-joys or other partial massage chairs are built low to the ground and are difficult to exit. They have smaller areas of coverage and less invigorating massages. The M-2 Orion brings together all the benefits of a real chair along with a full body massage capability. The price of the M-2 is so much more compelling at just under $1,000 compared to a hundred or two less for a full body massage chair recliner. Check it out and see why this is the best seller!
