iJoy-2580 Premium Robotic Massage Chair | Cup Holder | Auxiliary Power Outlet | Full Recline | Espresso Color Option

I got this chair for my wife last Christmas, and she absolutely loves it. She loves it so much that she's actually become convinced that she married wisely, when in fact she could do a lot better than me. If she were ever to make that critical realization, I would surely be finished. Amazingly, fifteen minutes a day of rolling, compression, kneading, and percussion seems to be all it takes to keep her from figuring this out. Sometimes she goes a few days without a massage, and begins giving me troubled glances as if wondering why there's a misshapen ogre wandering through her house (and wearing a wedding ring, at that), but then she sits in the chair and all is right with the world again. The iJoy 2580 keeps the horrible truth far, far away, where it belongs. I love the chair too. It has a strength to it that you'll simply never get from a cheaper product, like those massaging pads that you hang over the back of a regular chair. Sure, the pad is more portable -- my attempt to install the iJoy 2580 in my Honda Civic resulted in a hernia and some bewildered head-shaking from the guys at the auto body shop -- but you won't get nearly as good a massage. Also, while shopping around, I tried a few chairs that cost upwards of four times as much as this one, and I honestly wasn't all that impressed. The really expensive chairs do have some advantages, of course. They're designed to look more like regular recliners, typically have longer warranties, and sometimes have extra features like built-in massagers for the calves and feet. But to me, they didn't offer any improvement over the 2580 in terms of the quality of the back massage. The iJoy series is an excellent balance between cost and function. A few caveats: if you're over six feet tall, as we misshapen ogres tend to be, the massaging heads may not reach as high on your back as you'd like unless you adopt atrocious posture, and deliberately injuring your back in the pursuit of relief for back pain seems a bit counterproductive. The massage feels a little less effective higher on the back too, perhaps because the farther the heads get from your seat, the easier it is for them to shift your whole torso from side to side, which of course won't feel as good as the same action operating on you when you're motionless. It still feels good, though, and on the lower back, it's wonderful. Sitting in the chair a day or two after doing heavy deadlifts (or anything else that will produce muscular soreness low in your back) is glorious. It's proven durable so far, too. We've had it for six months and it's held up to regular use without even a hint of a problem. Buy one, and save your marriage!

The chair Needs to be higher it is very difficult to get up from the chair after the massage. Wonderful massage works well on shoulders and back area, excellent on the neck. Needed to return

I'm so pleased with this product! It's the perfect size, especially for women. I use it every day, including the drink holder on the right arm rest! It's far enough forward so it doesn't interfere with my arm resting on it. The controls are built into the arm which I was a bit apprehensive about at first as other massage chairs have a hand held control connected by wire. I actually like this format better! I'm able to easily reach the controls while reclined and I like the no clutter, simple built-in look. The chair is a soft-ish leather-ish - not rock hard. The chair is able to recline to almost horizontal position which I love. It increases the intensity of the massage and also the electric recline let's me set the recline angle at any angle I want! It has wheels on the back side for easy moving. It also has an outlet built-in for a laptop or reading lamp or whatever you want. The head cushion is adjustable and can be moved forward and backward. Lastly, I am able to get different intensities out of it: soft, medium, and hard. Soft I insert the cushion that came with it. Medium I use "as is." Hard I can get by unzipping the slightly padded chair backing and leaving it turned down to receive the massage. Settings are great too - 4 different styles of massage, different areas to zero in on, and the ability to move the action anywhere you want on the neck/shoulder area, back, and low back. Great product!

It's o.k., but overall very disappointing. The message, despite its various settings, becomes monotonous. The worst feature is that the rollers in 'resting' position protrude right behind you neck.... Not comfortable. Chair looks fine, takes up quite it of space. The resting position of the rollers is, however, kind of a fatal flaw in my opinion.

Ladies and midgets of the world, rejoice! This chair is for you. It works for my wife...who is a lady...and it seems to do a reasonably good job for her...and relieves me of having to constantly massage her myself (what man can't relate to that?). We have it set up in our baby's room so she can get a massage as an incentive to feed our son...making it a win-win-win product. However, it's smaller than it looks...they apparently use leprechaun models in all the promo shots...forcing them to pose for pictures if they ever want to see their precious pot of gold, ever...again. The seat height is about 6" or maybe 8" off the floor...and when I sit in it I barely fit on the sides - my behind is big, but not THAT big. I tried using the massage features and the roller just didn't have enough juice to displace my back enough to move freely...so it felt like it would break if it kept trying to work on me. That and being of non-midget height (I'm at least 4 Smurfs tall, or 12 apples)...the rollers and other components make contact with my back in weird and unpleasant spots. So...it works well for ladies and midgets...just don't expect it to work for you if you are not one of these or the equivalent: dwarves, leprechauns, larval humans (children), very erect dogs, etc.
