[PConline evaluation] This niche appliance, such as a massage chair, is a rare species even in home appliance channel editorial offices where various household appliances are placed for a long time. So after hearing that it is possible to evaluate two high-end massage chairs, the editors who are often sedentary are still quite excited. The two massage chairs are the Panasonic massage chair - EP-MA70, and OSIM - OS-848. The former is priced at 24,999 yuan and the latter is priced at 48,800 yuan. We originally thought that OS-848, which was nearly twice as expensive, would have a better experience. However, after the actual experience went down, we found that your preciousness is not necessarily better.
Appearance: exquisite and elegant VS tough fashion
The Panasonic EP-MA70's overall tone is mainly black, which means it has a relatively strong adaptability to various home improvement styles. Of course, it is also relatively dirty.

The imitation wood color at the armrests makes it look less boring, a bit like the classic black sofas in the home.
Material, Panasonic EP-MA70 uses a lot of leather material, in addition to armrests and base, the cortex cover almost all the surface you can see, just look, give a soft feeling.
Although it is synthetic leather, it is very soft and smooth.
The open back design makes it easier for people of different sizes to use it, and even fat people don't get crowded.
There are two wheels on the bottom of the massage chair, plus an already lighter weight, an adult can drag it with a little effort. Only two rollers are placed behind to avoid sliding the massage chair in everyday use.
As one of the most high-end products of OSIM, the OS-848 is available in blue and white colors. We experience the white version this time. The outside of the white section is actually not pure white, but rather close to milky white, the inner side is brown, color inspiration may come from milk and chocolate.
The overall line is rather tough and looks more stylish, but if it is in a traditional Chinese style room, it may seem a bit of a play.
What makes people want to snuggle is that, at a price of close to 50,000, the OS-848 actually uses artificial synthetic leather, which is not only very hard but also less breathable. This is why the surface of the cortex has been ventilated.
Pressing with your hand requires a lot of effort to press it down and feel bad.
The outer shell is also a hard plastic, although there is more room for color operation in this way, but the use of plastic in large quantities makes people feel sorry for this price.
OS-848 has two “small ears†on both sides of the backrest. The built-in speaker can play music during massage. However, it also limits the width of its backrest. Larger people use it more crowded.
It is more intimate that there are small pockets near the armrests on both sides, and small objects such as mobile phones or jewelry can be easily placed.
When we tried to move this massage chair, we discovered that it was surprisingly heavy and it took two people to move.
Looking at the shape alone, OSIM's OS-848 is more beautiful, but on the leather and casing materials, the Panasonic EP-MA70, which is much cheaper, is more solid, which makes one wonder why the extra money will be spent. Alright?
Operation: From lying down to starting massage, a total of several steps?
In general, we use massage chairs to rest and relax. Therefore, in terms of operation, the simpler it is, the more foolish it is, the better it is to lay everything down.
Both massage chairs use a wired remote control. The Panasonic EP-MA70 has a small bracket on the right. The controller is usually placed in this position and can be removed as needed.
The controller adopts physical keys, all keys are concentrated on the front of the remote control, and each key has a clear Chinese font label on or near the keys. When pressed, the key lights will light, and there will be a clear voice to help you explain this. In the mode, the liquid crystal display in the middle of the remote controller can display the real-time status.
When you sit on the massage chair and tap it to start, it will automatically adjust to the appropriate massage position, and then just select a mode to press, you can start the massage.
The EP-MA70 has a built-in pressure sensor that only senses when someone is sitting on it. What is worth mentioning is its position memory function. After adjusting the parameters, it will automatically adjust to the most comfortable position when you use it next time.
The OSIM OS-848's remote control is usually plugged into the pocket next to the armrest and can be removed when in use.
The remote controller discards physical buttons and uses a touch screen + 3 touch buttons. The power button and start/pause button are located on the top of the fuselage, and the side is a lifting and adjustment button. The operation logic is similar to the early Android phone. However, this touch screen is not our common capacitive screen, but a resistive screen, which is slightly inadequate in terms of ease of use and wear resistance. The interface is mainly graphic, and it may take some time to learn to adapt.
After sitting on the massage chair, you can use the +/- buttons on the right side of the remote control to lift the leg support section. The height of the lift can be adjusted by the user, but this adjustment is that you press it to move it. To adjust to the right position Keeping it pressed is not a step in place like the Panasonic EP-MA70.
OS-848 has also added mobile phone control function. The mobile phone and remote control can be connected via Bluetooth. We can download some additional online massage programs on the mobile phone. However, the mobile phone control cannot be used independently from the remote control. The remote control must be turned on for each use. Device, then pull out the phone connection.
The highlights are coming! When we turn on the mobile phone APP and find out that these extra massage procedures are actually charged! This……
From this small video below, it can be seen intuitively that there is a difference in the logic of the two massage chairs. From the power-off state to the massage state, the Panasonic EP-MA70 requires two steps. The OSIM OS-848 requires three to four. step.
As I said before, using a massage chair, we all want to operate as simply as possible. Although the OSIM OS-848's remote control uses touch screen, Bluetooth and other technologies, although the scalability has been greatly improved, but in terms of operation, it does not make people feel more convenient, especially if there are elderly at home, relatively complex The operating logic will become tasteless. In this respect, the simple and crude one-button approach of Panasonic EP-MA70 “One-touch adjustment†and “One-touch massage mode†is actually more practical.
Deep experience: Which is better?
Traditional massage techniques include pushing, pressing, kneading, kneading, and the like, which are generally performed using a hand. The stimulation information generated by operating in the appropriate part of the human body influences the body's neurohumoral regulation function through reflection, thereby achieving the purpose of eliminating fatigue and the like. The massage of the massage chair depends on the combination of the massage ball and the motor hidden in the backrest to imitate the movement and strength of the manual massage.
Panasonic EP-MA70 has 4 built-in motors that can move in up and down, left and right, and front and rear directions. Therefore, various massage techniques such as finger pressure and kneading can be realized. In the left and right movement axes, 8 steps can be freely adjusted. At the same time, this 3-axis design also allows us to freely adjust the width of the massage. We found a fat and thin two-person experiencer at the scene. Through the adjustment, the massage chair can accurately press their pain points.
The massage ball simulates the size and shape of the fingers and can stimulate the points and pain points more accurately. At the same time, these massage balls can also be self-heating, simulating the hot stone therapy in traditional physical therapy. The massage ball extends 12.5CM to ensure massage range and massage.
With the movement of the airbags on the shoulders, buttocks and legs, you can simulate stretching. A plurality of airbags are also provided on the soles of the feet, lower legs, etc. so that a full body massage can be achieved. In the massage process, the air pressure can be adjusted at any time to massage.
After the armrest is lifted, both hands can be easily accessed from the side.
In the massage procedure, Panasonic EP-MA70 has built-in 6 kinds of automatic massage procedures such as fatigue reduction, kneading massage, lack of pressure, pelvis, cervical spine, and lumbar spine. The massage intensity and barometric strength can also be adjusted by themselves. In addition to the preset program, we can also select techniques for local massage, and 14 techniques can form up to 108 massage combinations. In addition, the massage chair can also memorize 3 kinds of custom massage programs. After memorizing, it can also be operated in one click with the next use.
The OSIM OS-848 has three built-in motors that can be moved in both up and down and forward and backward directions. The left and right movements rely on the eccentric wheel under the massage ball to drive the axle to rotate. Therefore, the left and right position adjustment is not supported. This massage chair is difficult to press accurately to her waist.
The OS-848's massage ball is slightly larger, and it can also be self-heating. The pressure pad in each part can be adjusted separately, and the intensity can be adjusted at any time during massage.
When the position of the hand massage is turned on, the side is sealed, that is to say, the hand must be forced to the rear, and then inserted forward, which is more difficult for people of larger size to enter.
The OS-848 has a helmet-like head massager that can massage the massage chair's inaccessible head acupuncture points.
The OS-848 massage program is divided into three categories. There are 18 preset automatic programs in the automatic massage program. In addition to the common modes of relaxation massage, vitality recovery massage and other common modes, there are massage modes such as early morning vitality massage and nighttime sleep aid massage. However, this chairman massage is a bit incomprehensible.
As for downloading the massage program, we have just said that the procedures here are to be charged, and the single item is priced at US$4.99. However, it is not seen how these procedures differ from the above automatic massage program. It is estimated that no one will purchase these programs. . The manual massage options are divided into single sore points, multiple sore points, and fixed-point massage. After selecting the procedure and clicking the corresponding position, you can perform custom massage.
Both massage chairs provide users with "built-in automatic program + custom massage" function (OS-848 charge for the download we temporarily ignore it), Panasonic EP-MA70's automatic massage program is slightly less, but the massage angle, Strength, position can be customized, and the custom mode can be stored. OSIM OS-848 has many automatic massage procedures. It basically covers most of the scenes in life, and there are more head massage modules. However, even in the manual massage mode, parameters such as angle and position cannot be freely adjusted, which may result in People of larger or smaller size cannot use normally.
Other details you care about
Finally, there are several other details that you may care about. The first is security.
The bottom of the Panasonic EP-MA70 has a safety lock. Using a key-operated switch, the lock can be unlocked and the key can be removed. This can prevent children from mishandling at home.
The OSIM OS-848 does not have a function similar to "child lock", but there is an emergency stop switch at the rear, and stepping on the corresponding position can perform an emergency stop operation to terminate the impending or ongoing danger.
In terms of noise, we did not use a decibel meter for testing due to the relatively noisy on-site environment. Here, we compared the soundtracks recorded by two on-site directional noise-reduction microphones. It can be clearly seen that Panasonic EP- The MA70's noise is smaller. OS-848 has a strange buzz even if it is not running, but it can interfere with noise to a certain extent by playing music.
In terms of pre-sales and after-sales service, both massage chairs support on-site installation and on-site maintenance.
Finally, we summarize the advantages and disadvantages of the two products into a table, of course, for the massage chair this product is comfortable or not is a very subjective feeling, so the information here is for reference only, if you really want to buy a massage chair It is still relatively safe to go to the line and experience it for yourself.
Although physical feelings are more subjective, even if we look at parametric performance alone, we also think that the price of OS-848's close to 50,000 units is somewhat untrue. The use of a large-screen remote control that is not very practical, and people's incomprehensible fee-based massage modes, always have a sense of pit money. In contrast, the much cheaper Panasonic Massage Chair EP-MA70 is superior in terms of materials, operating logic, and massage comfort. Although it may not be so beautiful, it is more realistic and reliable.
So what really expensive is not necessarily better.
