Weiming 1st Gear December 7, 2007 Share December 7, 2007 I am using the Osim iMedic Pro and it is pretty good but nothing beats the human touch. Got mine with 3 years on-site warranty at S$3288 beginning 2007. Actually, most of the chairs in the market are pretty similar since they all come from a few OEM factories in China or Malaysia and have more or less the same functions of kneading/rolling/tapping and combinations thereof. What distinguishes the brands are visual appearance (cannot stand the fake wood trims most chairs have), massaging programs built-in, build quality and reliability (robust construction and noiseless operation). From what I understand, the life cycle of a massage chair is between 2 to 3 years. As such, 2008 will see a new model to replace the Osim iSymphonic. Not sure about the rest of the local brands. If you can risk it, Ebay has quite a large range of massage chairs that are full featured and cost the same as a mid-price chair locally. Only problem will be shipping and warranty/repair issues.

Chisiang 2nd Gear December 7, 2007 Share December 7, 2007 Dragon only $38 if 1 week go 1 time with $3800 can go 100 times!!! That's 2 years of massage! just joking. But I got some friend's parent bought and now more like white elephant. At the first few months everybody hog over the chair, then after a while, nobody bothers liao. And our weather so humid, must turn on aircon before using if not will become sticky after a while. Must constantly clean the leather if not will stink and crack. Also took up quite a bit of our HDB/Condo precious space. So those average income people like us will think a few times before buying. Those rich enough to afford the money and space would prefer real massage So I think if you don't want the chair will got problem reselling it. Think properly before buying.
