For the uninitiated, Sanyo is a relative newcomer to the massage chair industry. Since they are relatively new, it is hard to find them to try, since Sanyo lacks distribution in brick and mortar stores. They are starting to find their way to internet dealers, but most customers have a hard time trying to find a place to try them. Shiatsu massage chairs have been on the market for 30 years. Sanyo entered the market only a few years ago. The flagship model of the Sanyo line is the HEC-DR7700K Zero Gravity Massage Chair. This massage chair retails for just under $5,000. The HEC in the part number is Hitachi Electric Company, who actually makes the chair for Sanyo.
When purchasing a shiatsu massage chair, the company that stands behind it is also important. You first should choose a chair to fit your needs. But do not forget, the company tmust service it when issues arise. Customer service is critical when service is needed. Manufacturers vary and how they support the product also varies. Bigger is not always better. Our experience is relatively short times to resolve issue, which is important. They have a call center located in the US for us English speakers which is open 24/7 for warranty issues.
Warranty is always an interesting area. You can benchmark a manufacturer’s confidence by their warranty. The longer and more comprehensive the better and brings additional value and protection to customer. Sanyo’s warranty is weak. One would think that Sanyo would have one of the best warranties, but it is rather short compared to other massage chair manufacturers. Sanyo’s warranty is 1 year labor, 1 year parts, 3 years on the roller mechanism. Finally, Sanyo is offering in-home service, which it will cover for the first year. The warranty is a good indication of the company’s faith in its product. Sanyo’s massage chair warranty is weak for the price-remember the price tag is $5,000.
The HEC-DR7700K Zero Gravity shiatsu massage chair reclines back so your knees are above your heart. In the zero gravity position the pressure from your body is removed from your spine and evenly distributed across your entire back. The HEC-DR7700K Zero Gravity shiatsu massage chair meets this requirement. This is a relaxing position which can be used before and after your massage.
The HEC-DR7700K has a built in Stiffness Detection Sensor. The stiffness detection sensor is based on lie detection technology and detects stress points throughout your back. The Stiffness Detection Sensor gauges fatigue by monitoring changes in your perspiration and pulse rate. The massage is adjusted to pinpoint higher areas of stress.
Sanyo has a Physical Shape Sensor that adjusts the massage rollers to your body movements. As you move on the chair, so do the massage rollers to your new position. Sanyo has these intelligent rollers that adapt as you shift your body during the course of the massage.
