Homedics Inversion Massage Chair Seat Recliner with Heat

My sister is an invalid who sadly spends most of her day “lounging” in a chair. Comfort is critical. This chair replaced a previous cheaper “anti-gravity” chair that had worn out. (The vinyl cushioning was compressed and duct-taped after about four years usage.) I am impressed with the solid construction and overall quality. Requires building – which could be daunting for people who aren’t handy. Also, the chair is heavy so I recommend building it where it’s to be used. (I learned the hard way when I had to carry it up a long flight of stairs single-handedly!) Time will tell if it holds up but for the price, it’s a very good value.

The electronic “vibrator” stays on, even when the control is off. It is a fire hazard, I have to unplug the cable everytime. I returned the first one, and the same thing happens with the replacement.

I LOVE this chair! It’s so much better than I expected! It’s extremely comfortable, easy to put together. Also, the padding is perfect. I don’t feel any bars in my back and I don’t have any trouble adjusting the position of the chair. For me, it works kind of like an inversion table…I raise my arms above my head and the chair tilts backward. If I want it to tilt even further back, I simply raise my knees a little and then lock it into place. Also, the heat and vibration are incredible! I usually don’t like vibration health-devices…but this one is GREAT! This chair offers a choice of different patterns and speeds for the vibration and it goes all the way up the back and down each leg. This is now my favorite piece of furniture in my house. I Highly recommend it. If you order one, I hope you’re as happy with it as I am with mine.

I am very disappointed with this chair. The leg rest is very hard to manipulate. After reclining you have to have someone lift it for you and to put it down. Very difficult to manage. A person living along could not use this chair to lift your legs. The vibrator is not very strong and cuts off too quickly.

If it was not so much trouble to return, I would send it back. They should be arrested for false advertizement.

I have the older version of this chair, when my son decided to use it as a landing pad at the bottom of the steps, 4 of the 12 motors stopped working. In a panic, I set out to find a replacement because there is no info out there to be able to fix them. I found the newer updated version of the chair. The new version didn’t look as sturdy as the older version and had 2 less motors, so I didn’t know how well I would like it. The shipping took longer than expected, only because of the weather, it was to be delivered during a blizzard! The box that it came in was around 65 lbs, and it was pretty easy to put together. The only problem was 2 of the washers were fused together. I had the chair put together in about 30 minutes, and I’m a woman! When I sat in the chair for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised, the chair is 100x more comfortable than the old version. I read the reviews regarding the foot rest, but the older version had the same issues. You are really unable to lift it up, when your in the air. Also like the older version, the left lever doesn’t work, I think it’s just a flaw in the product, as the older one’s left side didn’t work at all either. I use this chair daily, the heater on this chair vs. the older chair works 10x better. All in all, it’s a blessing in disguise that my son broke my older one, because now I have a better more comfortable chair. The old one still works, however only the back motors work. If you need a full body massage, and don’t want to pay big bucks for a chair, I would totally recommend this chair. It’s certainly worth the money. Just wish the price was this low when I purchased it 3 weeks ago!
