Kahuna Massage Chair: An Honest Review

This Kahuna massage chair is easy to use. With nearly everyone owning a smartphone nowadays, it comes as no surprise that Kahuna has developed an app compatible with iOS and Android to control your chair. This app doesn’t just control the massage intensity, timer, heat, and zero-gravity functionality, but it also lets you play soothing music while you unwind from a hard workout or long day at the office.

The performance of this rhythmic massage chair is exquisite. The Hyper SL-track runs the length of the massage chair. At 52 inches long, this chair is suitable for nearly every user, and it offers heat therapy to relax your muscles while enhancing blood circulation and increasing oxygen levels. With five different intensity levels, this chair has something to offer everyone.

Kahuna is one of the world’s most renowned massage chair manufacturers because of the outstanding design quality of their chairs, and this model is no exception. Unlike most massage chairs, this one allows for heat therapy from your upper back down to your feet. Most chairs only have therapeutic heat for the lower back.

This product is backed by a premium three-year manufacturer warranty and the option to extend the warranty by an additional two years.

Kahuna had to make an app to control its massage chairs because the remote was a little buggy. The remote for the Osaki OS-4000 works very well. It takes a couple of sessions to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, it’s second nature. The LCD screen is easy to read, so you know exactly what options you’re choosing.

The performance of the Osaki OS-4000 massage chair is phenomenal. It massages your entire body, including your neck, calves, and feet. Even though it has fewer airbags than other Osaki models, the surface area of each airbag is massive. The lumbar heating increases blood flow to your sore muscles, promoting a quick recovery. The warmth is a great bonus.

The design of this chair is stylish, and the construction is solid. However, we felt the Kahuna massage chairs were better. This massage chair has only six pre-set programs: Circulation, Demo, Healthcare, Relax, Therapy, and Smart. There are also five levels of speed and intensity.

While we would have appreciated more pre-set programs, we loved the six massage styles offered: Clapping, Combo, Kneading, Rolling, Shiatsu, and Swedish. Shiatsu massages are ideal for athletes who have regular tight knots.

This deluxe zero-gravity massage chair comes with a three-year warranty. This warranty covers the cost of parts and labor. What’s most impressive about this warranty is that massage chairs in this price range typically have only a one-year warranty.

What we loved most about this Kahuna massage chair was how easy it was to use. With 13 pre-set programs specifically designed for people with unique needs, it couldn’t be easier to recline in this chair and relax. The user manual is thorough and easy to understand, and the remote control is intuitive. Even youth and seniors can learn how to customize their comfort with this chair.

This chair comes with 13 automatic programs. The four stretching programs are active stretching, dynamic stretching, SV-chiro stretching, and yoga stretching. The five regular programs include athlete, fast recovery, pain relief, and relaxation. Finally, there are four special programs: dynamic sport, golfer, office person, and senior mode.

With a weight capacity of 320 pounds, there is no need to worry about the durability of this massage chair. The leg and foot coverings are easily exchangeable thanks to zippers, and you can remove them in seconds for cleaning or replacement.

The heating element extends from your back down to your legs and can be turned on or off in sections. If you want your legs warmed but not your back, that can be accommodated easily.

What sets this massage chair apart is the three zero-gravity settings offered. While in one of the zero-gravity positions, it will feel as though you weigh nothing at all—a priceless experience.

The Kahuna SM-7300S is backed by a two-year manufacturer warranty.

The Inada Sogno Dreamwave massage chair is not the most user-friendly chair on this list. There are eight pre-set programs, including game-changing morning and nighttime programs, but the controls are not as intuitive as other massage chairs.

Proprietary technology from the brightest minds in Japan has created a gentle figure-eight motion that replicates the balancing relief of a professional Shiatsu session. Whether you need kneading, rolling, tapping, or squeezing to feel relief, this chair has something for you. It massages your entire body, including your feet, calves, neck, and arms.

We loved the safety features this chair offers, including a pet sensor, breakaway cord, and child safety lock. If you have indoor pets, this may be the massage chair for you. This chair also sets itself apart from the competition with its young user setting. There is a proprietary youth session that is designed for users between 14 and 18 years of age. This setting is gentle yet effective.

Unlike Kahuna massage chairs, Inada massage chairs are backed by a three-year limited warranty for the repair or replacement of your massage chair with on-site service. There is also the option to purchase a five-year extended warranty.
