Panasonic is introducing its new line of Swede-Atsu urban massage chairs. This new recliner boasts some excellent new features from Panasonic. The top-of-the-line model of this new series is the EP 1285. This is a review of the EP 1285 and will include its advanced features and the warranty coverage. We take an in depth look at this new and exciting massage recliner.We always encourage you to first compare the warranty coverage of the different chairs that you are interested in purchasing. Warranty coverage will provide you with peace of mind and protection down the road. Although it is rare that a problem occurs, it does happen. You want to be covered so that you can get the most out of your purchase.The EP 1285 comes with their standard one-year coverage on parts. It also provides for one year of on-site service or in-home service. This is an important aspect of warranty coverage as it is better to have it serviced in your home rather than you have to take it somewhere. The rollers in the chair back are covered for three years. This is basic warranty coverage and you may want to consider getting an extended warranty.The contemporary urban massage recliner series is an exciting development from Panasonic. This is a clear change in direction from the typical industrial designs of the past. Now, Panasonic is introducing some contemporary and sleek designs into their lineup.This recliner comes with nine basic massage modes. The massage modes include Swedish, chiropractic, kneading, Hawaiian, percussion, compression, tapping, shiatsu and rolling massage. This is a fantastic variety to have in a single recliner. These are basically manual massages which can be directed to specific areas for your convenience.Select from four different automatic massage programs with the EP 1285 massage recliner. Each of the automatic massage programs controls the entire chair. With the push of a single button you can get a full body massage. These programs also allow you to adjust them based on the height of your shoulder.The EP 1285 comes with an air massage system and the leg rest. The leg rest has 12 specially designed airbags to help improve the circulation of the lower legs. The airbags are synchronizing to provide a soothing massage by directing the pressure upward from the feet through the calves. This is a soothing and relieving massage.The EP 1285 also comes with a like stretch. The leg stretch utilizes the leg rest to stretch out the lower body. The leg rest is raised horizontal and the airbags are activated to hold the feet. The leg rest is then lowered slowly to three different positions to stretch out the lower body.Panasonic incorporates its Swede-Atsu urban massage technology. This utilizes two to four firm rubber massage heads which are used to stimulate the stroking of the palm and the pressing of the heel of the hand. This provides a realistic massage feeling. These massage techniques help to relax the muscles.Overall, we like to do contemporary design of the EP 1285. Panasonic has done a good job in styling this chair to match with the decoration in more homes. The massage techniques used in this recliner are subtle yet effective. The air system in the leg rest is effective in helping improve the circulation of the lower legs. This is a good step forward for Panasonic and is a massage chair that you should check out.
