The Sanyo massage chair also has a shiatsu massage for these lower legs. It has specialized nodes to stimulate being calves and also for the feet. We believe that reflexology foot massage is an important aspect of relaxing the entire body.

Sanyo also incorporates heat, but it is only to warm up the soles of the feet. The foot massage provided in the Sanyo massage chair is good with the addition of the heat. Heat is a therapeutic feature and we would have liked to have seen heat used more extensively in this massage chair. When purchasing a high-end massage chair you would expect that features would be incorporated through the entire chair.

The interesting thing about the Sanyo massage chairs is that the above features are used in all of their models. Whether it is the high-end luxury model or their entry level model SR 1000, the technology platform is the same. Since the technology doesn't change throughout the chairs, it is worthwhile to see if the middle tier or entry-level chair is sufficient to meet your needs. Sanyo makes high-quality chairs and provides good warranty coverage for their chairs.
