Sanyo 5000 Massage Chair Discontinued!! (I’ve Got A Floor Model For You)

Friday, July 24th, 2009

I spoke to the marketing rep for Sanyo massage chairs yesterday and got the scoop that the Sanyo 5000 has been discontinued. It kinda surprised me since it is a popular selling chair. Apparently, they are discontinuing it and introducing a new model later this year which, when I hear more about it, I will share with you. We also received permission yesterday to finally add the Sanyo 7700 zero gravity massage chair to our website. Sanyo does not want any price slashing on their zero gravity chairs and are working hard at maintaining online pricing integrity for their models (maybe that’s why they are discontinuing the 5000 model, eh?…hhhmmm…I wonder). Anyway, now that we are considered a trusted partner by Sanyo they gave us permission to add the 7700 to our website. I sent off the request to my web designer this morning and hope to have it up ASAP.

I am very excited about this as we have sold many of this massage chair model even though it has not been on our website. We have also sold many of it’s sister chair, the 6700 massage chair, which is also zero-gravity, but about $500 less. I have discussed the differences between the two models in a previous blog post:

Both are fantastic chairs that boast the zero gravity feature…which is fantastic for you low-back pain sufferers out there.

Well, since the Sanyo 5000 massage chair has been discontinued, I have a floor model for sale. It is about 1 1/2 years old and is in good condition. It has had some wear and tear but works great. I am selling this chair for only…are you ready for this…$1499. It’s regular retail is $3999. You can call us at our showroom at 801-417-8240 or visit our website to order it (http://www.massage-chair-relief.com/closeout.html). But, since there is just the one 5000 massage chair, once it is gone…it is gone.

Have a super weekend and thanks for visiting us today.

The Sanyo 6700 Replacing the Sanyo 7700 Massage Chair

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Apparently, from here on out, Sanyo is selling their zero-gravity Sanyo 7700 massage chair exclusively through Relax The Back stores. So, they have provided another model, almost identical to the 7700 called the Sanyo 6700 massage chair. What are the differences, you ask? Well, there are only 3 and here they are:

Sanyo 67001. The Sanyo 6700 massage chair has one zero-gravity position, whereas the Sanyo 7700 has two.

2. The Sanyo 6700 has a Quick Course (a short pre-programmed auto program in addition to the regular automatic programs), which the Sanyo 7700 does not have, but the Sanyo 7700 has an “Air Only” course of massage which the 6700 does not have.

3. The Sanyo 7700 has 2 seat airbags and 2 upper bag airbags, which the Sanyo 6700 does not have. Of course, both chairs have the regular upper back rollers…the 6700 just doesn’t have the air bags in the upper back. The 7700 has two more airbags in the leg airbags than does the 6700 (20 vs. 18).

4. The Sanyo 7700 massage chair has an adjustable leg length extension. The Sanyo 6700 does not require that feature because it has the same ottoman design as the Sanyo 5000 which extends the foot rest to accommodate the longer leg of some users. The Sanyo 7700 has a ottoman similar in design to the HT-1650 which is one piece without a movable footrest. No big deal.

And that, my friends, is about it as far as differences between the two chairs. Oh yeah, and the price of the Sanyo 6700 is $500 less than the 7700! So, it’s regular retail price is $4499. So, from here on out, we will only be selling the Sanyo 6700 model on our website and in our showrooms.

Here is a link to the product brochure of the Sanyo 6700 massage chair: Sanyo 6700 massage chair brochure.
