Somewhere along the line I mentioned, either in print or word, that the new Panasonic 30007 massage chair is made of real leather. A studious client made me aware of that error. Also, somewhere along the line, it was mistakenly communicated to me that it was real leather and I shared that with some folks. The brochures, our site, and the Panasonic site all say that the chair is a faux leather (faux means synthetic and not real leather). Now I am not sure what the source of my erroneous information was, but I called my Panasonic rep yesterday to clarify and he told me that it definitely is a faux leather and NOT real leather.

So, if I told anyone that the new Panasonic 30007 massage chair is upholstered in real leather, I was mistaken. It is faux leather…but I will say that to see the chair, I think most folks would have difficulty telling the difference between the faux and real leather. It feels soft just like a nice, luxury leather chair would feel.

I can say, with confidence, however, that this chair is manufactured in Japan!! You see, I don’t lie about everything…

Oh, and before I forget, the new Panasonic EP 1285 massage chair (also called the urban massage chair) is now in stock and ready for order. Apparently that model is leather!! (I better  be telling you the truth!).

As you know, Panasonic has discontinued it’s 30003 massage chair lounger. As you may also know, they have introduced the brand new, leather-upholstered, manufactured-in-Japan 30007 massage chair.

Well, we received our very own Panasonic 30007 massage chair for our showroom last Wednesday. It was quite easy to set up (much like the 30003) and it was up and running in no time.  Here are some of the things we noticed immediately upon assembling and using the chair:

1. Faux wood arm rests - they look quite classy. They are a shiny, dark wood accent to the chair. Underneath the faux wood armrests is….

2. Arm massage. The wooden arm rests lift up at the back end, allowing you to slide your arms to the front of the arm rest where the wood is attached to the arm rest frame. The air bags in the massagers squeeze your fingers, wrists, and forearms. I actually felt my carpal bones (wrist bones) pop like a chiropractic adjustment when the air bags squeezed/massaged my wrists. That reminds me also that…

3. The back massage rollers were vigorous enough to pop my mid back bones, also like a chiropractic adjustment. Although vigorous, I did not find the Panasonic 30007 massage to be too vigorous or painful in the least.

4. Seat and hip massage. The seat has airbags in it and, along with that, there are hip massagers on either side of the seat (ala Sogno massage chair hip massage) that inflate and massage the ITB’s on the outside of both thighs.

5. Shoulder/subscapularis massage feature. There are two flaps that inflate out towards the back of your shoulders (right where the subscapularis muscles are…if you know your anatomy!). They have nodules in the flaps to simulate a trigger point massage to the muscles at the back of the shoulders. Pretty cool…never seen that in another massage chair before.

6. Like virtually all Panasonic massage chairs, no heat function anywhere on the chair.

Well, that about does it for today. The Panasonic 30007 is a very nicely appointed massage chair. You’ll enjoy it.

We are happy to announce that we have the highly anticipated Panasonic 30007 massage chair up on our website. I have discussed this chair to some degree in previous blog posts, but now it is officially up. You can see it here:

http://www.massage-chair-relief.com/panasonic_ep30007.html

We have also put up a page for the brand new Panasonic EP1285 massage chair, which they call the Urban massage chair. It is a very handsome and contemporary looking chair with very simple lines. It has a decent price point at $2699. I don’t know much about it, but we will have the details of the chair up on the site by week’s end. 

http://www.massage-chair-relief.com/panasonic_ep1285.html

You will also notice that we took down the Panasonic 30003, although I still have the floor model available. Remember, you can get it for only $1899, which includes shipping and bonus gifts.

Here are a few of interesting features about the new Panasonic 30007 massage chair:

• 5 minute “Refresher” function.
• Customize your own program with over 1117 different combinations of massage modes.
• Memory for up to 4 different users: 6 programs each for a total of 24 programs. So, after you have setup your custom massage you can program it in and have it available to you the next time you use your chair at the touch of a button!
• Panasonic’s exclusive ultra-kneading “Junetsu” style massage.
• 36 total air bags to work your feet, hips, shoulders, calves, buttocks, arm/hands, and waist.
• High Tech Body Scanning Technology and the Voice Guidance System.
• Ultra Soft and Durable Synthetic leather in Black or a rich Chocolate Brown upholster this beautiful chair and the faux wood inlays on the arms add to the classic richness of its style.
• Grip/Closed Fist mode that is ideal for neck and shoulder massage!
• Over 400 square inches of massage coverage for your body.

Have a super day!

I just learned today from Panasonic rep that the 30003 massage chair model has been discontinued. We found out because we placed an order for one this morning and he told me that he wasn’t even sure if there was one left. Well, that was news to me! Fortunately, he was able to find one more for me…but it is the last one. By the way, I have my floor model 30003 massage chair that I guess I will be selling. I can sell it to anyone interested for $1899. Let me know if you want it…it is in perfect condition.

So, I guess Panasonic is putting all their energy behind the 30007 model now. We will have the new 30007 up on our site very shortly. We finally have some specs and images on it. As you recall, I put up a link to a pdf file that contained the brochure for the Panasonic 30007, but not many details were available. You can read about it here…

 http://www.massage-chair-relief.com/blog/chair-models/panasonic-30007-massage-chair-brochure/

Below is a link to an information page on Panasonic’s website for the new Panasonic 30007:

http://www.panasonicmassagechairs.com/EP30007KX.html

They list the price at $5999, but for now I am offering it for $5499…until they tell me to change it. If you are interested in this chair and you want it before I get it up on our website, call me at 1-888-259-5380 and we’ll take your order over the phone.

Panasonic is also coming out with a new model chair called the 1285. It is available for pre-order only and it’s price point is $2699. I don’ t  know much about it, but here is a link to it’s product page on the Panasonic website:

http://www.panasonicmassagechairs.com/EP1285KL-EP1285TL.htm

As with the 30007, if you want it before we get it up on our site, call me at the same toll-free number you see above and we’ll get your on the pre-order list.

Have a super day!

We have had quite a bit of interest expressed in the new Panasonic 30007 massage chair. Although we carry the chair now that it is available, we still do not have it up on our website,  because of the lack of images and information about the massage chair. Well, my Panasonic rep sent me the only brochure they have of the chair…in a .pdf file. So, I have attached the file to this blog entry so you can read up about it. As a matter of fact, if you type in “Panasonic 30007″ into Google, our site is #1 and the only site that has any information about the 30007! That is how rare information is about it.

Here is a link to the brochure for your perusal:

Panasonic 30007 Massage Chair brochure

Some of the highlights of the 30007 include:
1. total air massage square inches: 460

2. 200 sq. inches of air massage on back area

3. 5 preset programs

4. 8 manual programs

5. 1117 massage combinations

6. 30″ massage stroke

7. leg and arm stretch

8. wood design plate on the arm rests

9. manufactured in Japan (as opposed to China)

Read the Panasonic 30007 massage chair brochure to learn more. Although the images are dark, the chair looks good…much like the other 3000 series chairs.

I just learned yesterday that Panasonic has a new massage chair coming out and it is supposed to be a beauty. It will be part of the 30000 series and will probably be labeled the Panasonic 30007 Massage Lounger. It will be manufactured in Japan, which is a departure from the other members of the 30000 family, which are currently manufactured in China.

I am also told that the price tag on this model will be quite high. I know nothing of the features, look, or functions, but I do know that it will be a step up from the Panasonic 30006 massage chair, which is the high end model heretofore only found at The Sharper Image specialty stores.

By the way, for those of you who have been following my blog entires on the 30006, I can tell you that the Panasonic 30006 shipment that I spoke of, where the price was dropped down from $4999 to $3699, has only 3 black ones left. So, if you are thinking of getting that massage chair and have been sitting on the fence about whether to buy it or not…get off the fence and take action before this amazingly low price is gone. Only 3 left. And, remember, we don’t have this model on our website, so if you want it you have to call our toll-free number, 1-888-259-5380, to place the order.

I will keep you posted about the Panasonic 30007 when I get more info on it. Before I forget, I was also told that the Panasonic 3222 massage chair model has  been discontinued. There are a few in stock, but no new chairs are going to be available once the current stock is gone. The 3222 has been around a long time and was the Panasonic massage chair of choice before the 30000 series came along. We will be removing it from my site within a week or so.

I told you a week or two ago in this blog (http://www.massage-chair-relief.com/blog/chair-models/panasonic-30006-massage-chairs-now-availableby-phone-only/) that we had access to some Panasonic 30006 massage chairs at a very special price. Well, we found out this week that the supply is very limited and will probably be gone by next week. So, what I am saying is if you are thinking about the price and the possibility of getting this chair at this price, DON’T WASTE ANOTHER MINUTE!!

This apparently was a one-time shipment of chairs priced below cost and only in black color. We have sold a bunch of them since I made this price available, but they are almost gone. I have been asked a number of times if the brown is available…no it is not…black only. These are the massage chairs that are Panasonic’s top of the line and heretofore only available through The Sharper Image. It seems as though there are some extra chairs around since The Sharper Image filed bankruptcy.

I have no idea if more will be available, but I will notify you through this blog if more come in. But, don’t hold your breath. I was told that this was a limited supply and that is exactly how we are looking at it for now.

By the way, don’t forget that you can only order this chair from us over the phone. We don’t have it on our website and may never have it on the site if the chairs are not made available to us on a permanent basis. You can call us toll-free at 1-888-259-5380 and we’ll get your order taken care of (if there is still stock left!).
Have a great day, and thank you for your continued support and enjoyment of our site.

We have been notified by Panasonic that we are able to make the Panasonic 30006 massage lounger, previously only available through The Sharper Image stores, available to our clients. However, this news is quite new, so we don’t have the chairs on our website yet. But, we can sell them over the phone. The 30006 is the top of the line chair of the 30000 series from Panasonic. You can go to this link to check out the comparison between the 30006 and the 30003 and 30004 that we already have on our website. It is a great way to evaluate the different Panasonic models to compare and contrast:

Panasonic Chair Comparison 

The best part of all is the price. These chairs sold for $4999 at The Sharper Image, but we are making them available to you for $3699.  This is a substantial savings (duh!) and while the supplies last, you should take advantage of the pricing.  As of today’s date, we can only make the black model available.

By the way, we currently have the price of the Panasonic 30003 massage  chair at $2499, quite a savings from the regular $3999 pricing.

Call us at 1-888-259-5380 and we can answer your questions and place your order for you.
