The Benbo Massage Chair AM-989A Model grabs the first spot on our list for its value. We recommend this product for people who are going to shop for their first massage chairs. 

We love how the Benbo AM 989 model keeps its functions simple and easy to follow. It offers you 4 main options, covering kids, teenagers, young adults, and stressed professionals. 

These options earned a huge plus on our rating, as these programs easily make it a user-friendly experience right from the start.

It also has 4-add-on options, which you can choose from if you’d like to deviate from your usual massages. 

Other models would easily offer more than 10 massage modes, but we think it would be enough for you if you feel satisfied with the regular intensities.

What makes this product unique is its ability to use artificial intelligence (AI) processing to knead and massage your whole body. 

It also offers high-quality rollers capable of twisting and rolling into different positions to reach the corners of your body. 

To make it better, the Benbo AM 989 model can cradle you and let you experience zero-gravity when it reclines. 

We love how it allows us to extend its legs’ length with their leg extender feature. This would allow you to reach your acupressure points better regardless of your body height. 

However, if heat is your thing, then we think you can screen for more products. 

Don’t get us wrong, there are enough pressure bags to wrap your body. However, the main source of its heat is a small hot compress at the back and the feet areas.

We recommend the Zion Deluxe for people looking for local massage chairs from trusted companies with local customer service. You can even visit their office to inquire and test their products!

We suggest you do this if you are the type of consumer who wants to check your product before big purchases. 

Zion Deluxe separates itself from its competitors through its full body massage experience. 

We think this is for you if you crave not only a massage, but also a masseuse’s touch. It does its magic through its generous airbags, which wraps you from head to toe. 

We also recommend you try its fixed point mechanism. This means it allows the roller to stay on one part of your body, and massage it for extended periods of time.

This is perfect for you if you want not only an overall massage, but also spot tension relief. We were pleased with this feature as it is an underrated add-on absent in most massage chairs. 

Also, the eye massager and u-shaped head massager are free accessories you can only get with Zion massage chair. These can give you a more holistic massage experience.

Because of the full body massage feature, we think you might also crave different types of massages. Sadly, there are only 5 massage programs available in the massage chair. 

We also think that the cost of the massage chair is too expensive for most users.

If you are into getting more heat for your massages, this is the product for you. 

The JSK Massage Chair Q1 Model provides you with comfort through great ergonomics and constant heating.

We were amazed with the many surrounding heating pads of the massage chair. It allows you to feel constant, balanced heat throughout long massage sessions. 

This product also gets our approval on design with its cradle design and the retractable leg feature. 

You can experience better sleeping postures, allowing the rollers to hit your body’s spots. We suggest you play with its recline to allow the JSK Massage chair to hit your sweet spot.

We also liked its unique temple airbag design. It massages your temple and the back of your head through vibrations, which is absent from the massage chairs out there.

You can also enjoy 20 customized modes with this product. With so much to choose from, you can be sure to enjoy many features in one sitting or through long therapy sessions.

Everything may seem perfect with this product, but unlike others, it does not have a dedicated butt roller. 

We think of this as a dealbreaker for those who prefer to have deep tissue massage on their thighs and buttocks due to sedentary lifestyles or muscle soreness.

Given its extensive mode selection, we’re willing to let this slide.

Also, you may feel a bit cramped with the surrounding compression bags. This would not be a dealbreaker if you fit, but you can try to shop for more if you think you won’t fit the seat. 

If you have been thinking of upgrading your massage chair for a pricier one, we recommend the Kemilng S980 Massage Chair. We think of this massage chair as an upgrade even if you are just staying in the same price range. 

Starting from its premium design of brown leather and professional color combinations, you are sure to be wooed with its sleek look. 

For users who immediately want to get into massaging, this product lets you get into it without any question. 

As soon as you turn it on, the massage chair reclines and starts the massage. We suggest you use the attached LCD tablet to adjust your massage modes and intensity. 

We loved how user-friendly the LCD tablet was. With clear signs of “+” and “-” to control your preferences, you can optimize your massage as it happens.

In fact, the Kemilng S980 Massage Chair offers you 20 modes of massage to choose from. We suggest you toggle with the head massager’s settings to experience more relief.

However, this massage char lacks feet and heat adjustment features. That said, we still think that its foot massage and heat are enough to provide you with the best massage treatments. 

What we loved about this massage chair is its portability. You can put it above any seat and activate it to give yourself an instant 15-minute massage.

The functions of the massage covers the basic functions you would need for a normal massage. It offers basic vibration, heat, massage areas, intensity controls, and rollers.

Even better, this massage chair comes with two types of adaptors: one with the cord to the wall and the other adaptor to the car. 

Unfortunately, the 15-minute massage of this massage chair is its only setting. We think this can be monotonous in the long run, especially if you are looking for long massage sessions or for deep tissue massage. 

But we still think you get the value of your money. With a cheap price, you get superior quality material for a portable massage. 

It has synthetic leather and double cloth for easy cleaning and maintenance, regardless of where you use it. 

Unfortunately, regardless of the strength of the material, you will face ergonomics issues with this massage chair. There are no available settings for adjustments for this massage chair.

We suggest you try to adjust it on top of your seat, but only having one size would certainly make us feel that it does not fit all.

We recommend the Jinkairui JC-ONE Back Massage Chair Model for those looking for basic and portable massage chairs.
