Now the HT-1650 massage chair is being discontinued

I just heard this week that Human Touch plans to discontinue the popular HT-1650 massage chair once their stock of black models is gone. They figure another week or two and the chairs will be gone. Apparently, Huma

n Touch will replace the HT-1650 with the new Acutouch 9500 which won’t be out until summertime. I’ve not heard of anyone who has actually sat on the Acutouch 9500 massage chair, but I have heard that it looks a lot like the HT-1650. I was told by Human Touch yesterday that the ottoman will raise off the ground, which the ottoman did not do with the HT-1650. It is also supposed to be higher priced than the HT-1650.

Human Touch has told us that the new 9500 will not be sold through the usual distribution channels; it will be sold exclusively through one of their large chain retailers. Not sure who, but maybe Costco or someone like that. Hopefully we at Massage Chair Relief will be able to sell it as the HT-1650 was one of our most popular massage chairs.

You’d think that since my office is in back of the Massage Chair Relief showroom, I would be sitting on massage chairs all day long. Well, think again! I rarely sit on them because I am so busy at my desk. But, the other day I went onto one of the chairs, to do some work reading. I fell asleep and later, after I had woken up, I found a picture of me sleeping on the massage chair on my cell phone. Thanks, Steffanie! Dang, they feel so good but, man…I look like a corpse!

Sanyo 6700 Massage Chair Discontinued!

Monday, May 24th, 2010

I just found out today that the Sanyo 6700 zero gravity massage chair has been discontinued. Although we never carried it, they also discontinued the Sanyo 3700 massage chair. The only chairs to pick from now, from Sanyo, are the Sanyo 7700 and the new Sanyo 8700. Both great chairs. Both zero gravity massage chair recliners.

Remember that all of the Sanyo chairs only come in black color. The Sanyo 7700 massage chair goes for $4999 and the Sanyo 8700 massage chair goes for $5999. Also remember that we have a 110% low price match guarantee should you find either chair for less.

The Sanyo chairs also come with a 1 year comprehensive/3 year limited warranty. Good warranty…not the best…but a good warranty.

Call us if you have any questions about any of the models. The Sanyo 6700 will be coming down off our website as soon as I finish this blog post.

Massage Chairs in the Mall! Yuck!

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

You see it, an oasis in a sea of skin care stands and faux hair pieces…a coin-operated massage chair!  You have been walking around the mall for hours, your back hurts, your feet hurt, and frankly you just want to sit for a minute.  Visions of massage rollers working, kneading, percussing your muscles start dancing in your head!  You have to wipe the drool from your mouth as you anticipate the relaxation you are about to receive…or so you think.  After you frantically flatten that wrinkled dollar bill in your pocket and submit it into the pay slot, you sit back in blissful anticipation!

The rude awakening comes when some very aggressive and not very comfortable balls start clumsily digging at your back.  It feels as if it is searching for your spleen or some other organ that lays deep, deep within.  The tears that come to your eyes are not the tears of joy that you had been hoping for.  Or perhaps you have the experience of such a light massage that it could have been butterfly wings gently and daintily fleeting this way and that across your back.  Either way, it’s a big disappointment! Nothing can be adjusted…you got what you paid for.

The massage chairs sold at Massage Chair Relief are very different than those you may have experienced in the mall.  Please don’t judge all massage chairs by the coin-op chairs in the mall or airport. Real massage chairs are so much more.

They have highly sophisticated roller mechanisms and scanning features so that these chairs “learn” your body and are truly able to create the exact massage chair experience that you have been looking for. The experience is really quite dreamy. And, if one chair doesn’t do it for you, we have over 25 models to pick from and try out. We have the largest selection of massage chairs under one roof so you can have one as basic as you want or one that will work the full body and cook you breakfast after!

So, next time you go to reach for that wrinkled dollar bill in your pocket when you’re at the mall, go home and put it in a jar to save up for a REAL therapeutic massage chair!
