Correct. They are adjusted by the same button on the remote, but both upper and lower roller mechanisms are 4D. By the way, I went to the showroom today and tried out the DuoMax with your concerns in mind. I had the depth setting at it's lowest and I felt that it was not too intense for me. It was hardest on the shoulders. The padding that comes with the chair works great. I throw blanket of another back pad would help lessen the intensity even more. dr. w.
@@massagechairrelief Thank you for checking that out. Appreciate it. Remember when I got this Cozzia. I had to get used to it. Went from a 2-d chair to 4 d chair. It was a lot more intense. I had to take the padding off the back to get a harder massage on the older 2-d chair. But it didn't take long to figure out the cozzia.. I know I'm going to like this chair. Been reading everything I can. Watching all the reviews. BTW not one of them mentioned how intense the massage can be or the piano massage on the arms. Why I value your videos and honest opinions. People need to know that. I like the display and how I can separately control things and even save it in my profile. As far as the arm massage part. I actually wish my Cozzia was more intense. Don't think that's going to be a problem. Don't always have my arms in mine as it is but do enjoy it. If it's too tough for the wife, she can sit in the Cozzia. But the kids are already fighting who's going to get that (-:. The wife really going to love the Foot and calf massage. Sat in an Osaki yesterday with the same or similar foot and calf Massage. Way nicer than what I got now hands down and that didn't even have the calf roller feature. Can't really give a comment on the back massage part. I felt I was being rushed. Was at a furniture store. But it wasn't too intense for me at all. Even cranked it all the way up. Can't tell you what model because they took the signs off. On the phone she said the Maestro. The salesman didn't know. I didn't look into that as of yet. Thanks for the phone call earlier. Wanted to get to your call but was in the middle of something. Talk soon.
Hi, Joel. Both are great chairs, but quite different. I would say the stretch of the Hybrid is among the best of the split track chairs, including the DuoMax. The DuoMax has calf and arm rollers, which the Hybrid does not have. It also has the ability to adjust the roller depth/intensity of the lower track, something fairly unique in split track chairs. I would say on the neck and shoulders, the Hybrid has a more intense massage. For the rest of the body, I would say the Duo Max has the more intense massage. I hope this helps. When you are ready to purchase, please reach out to me at alan@massage-chair-relief.com for pricing. dr. w.
You mentioned the massage strength is pretty strong which I like but the wife likes it a little softer. Can it be adjusted and will it remember her settings
The roller depth settings can be adjusted to weaker or stronger. If the weakest setting is still too much, we recommend using a throw blanket, folded in quarters lengthwise, draped over the back of the chair to act as a padding to reduce the intensity even more. This can apply to any massage chair. I hope this helps. dr. w.
Thanks for your Videos Dr Whitner. They have been helpful. What would be more helpful is one of your stores in Pennsylvania where i could just sit in them. (-: but I know you mostly out west. Soon I'm hoping to be able to make a decision between and give you a call. The Luraco i9 Max Plus or one of the Osaki Duo max chairs. There a few different type. Which of these chairs is to more to your liking.
If you like a more intense roller massage, the DuoMax would be the chair of choice. For some folks, the arm roller massage is too intense as well. If you are ok with a little less intensity, on both the back and the arms, the Luraco is a great option. dr. w.
@@massagechairrelief everybody idea of intense is different and that's understandable. I have a Cozzia Qi SE now. Its almost 7 years old. Don't know if you ever sat in that one and could compare. Actually, when i first got it thought it was a little rough and did line it with extra padding but i got used to it. Now i can turn it all the way up with no problem. This next chair will be my 5th high end massage chair. Been buying them since i was a kid. Probably bought one of the first ones ever made. Again thanks for any input.
@@danthompson8200 We carry the JPMedics Kumo and the Ogawa Master Drive AI 2.0, both of which are built by Cozzia and are very close to the Qi SE model. We consider them all moderately intense. The DuoMax will be quite a bit more intense than your Cozzia. The Luraco is less intense than the DuoMax, but more intense than the QiSE. You might also consider the Infinity Luminary. Strong split track chair, like the DuoMax and Luraco, but a little less intense than the DuoMax. It is a bit more intense than the Luraco. dr. w.
@@massagechairrelief Just a few more questions for you before I buy a chair with just a little more research. I'll just call you if I have any more concerns. Max shoe size for the closed toe Duo max. I have a son in law with big feet. Not going to hold me back if he can't fit his foot in there but he will fit in the rest of the chair. Just curious. Second question would be. Why is the massage strength so much more in this chair then a lot of others. Is it because the rollers are harder. Or because the massage rollers default out further to begin with or the back material thinner than other chairs. And the last question is for the wife. Are there a massage programs that uses just the back massage and not the underneath massage. I could also always buy her a thin pillow to set on. I have softened massages chairs before with other materials. Not opposed to that. I do like the Luraco but don't like the controller or the fact that it doesn't have calf kneading. Back and seat airbags are cool. Sat in a Japanese chair with that once. Felt like I was floating. Pretty cool. Thank You.
Hi, Cindy. I haven't seen a difference in repair frequency between those two models. The DuoMax is certainly the more newer and more advanced of the two models, but both are great options. Feel free to reach out to me at 801-651-2026 with any other questions and to hear about our current in-store specials for both models. Dr. W.
Hi, David. The published height recommendation is 6'4", but if you want to have the rollers reach to the top of your neck, the tallest recommendation would be 6'2". I hope this helps. dr. w.
Thanks! I’m 6’3” so sounds like this is borderline. I was also looking at the Diawa Supreme Hybrid? How do you think it compares? I’ve got long legs and a short torso and I saw you say the legs are a little short on the Diawa
@@davidblumberg4140If you have long legs and a shorter torso, the DuoMax will probably fit you just fine. With long legs, however, I would suggest staying away from the Supreme Hybrid without trying it first. dr. w.
Hello, I tried this chair and it was intense however it did not help my lower back pain. I suffer from lordosis, what would you suggest the best lower back massage chair today? Someone suggested the pro Paragon for the Massage Chair because the heating mechanism is better and it will give a deep massage for my lodosis back pain as well as heat on my feet.
I would suggest trying the Tru Eclipse and the Infinity luminary. Both models have one of the more strong, low back massages, in that they can reach forward into your lordosis better than most other models. I hope this helps. Dr. W.
I have been reluctant to buy a massage chair because you and your peers never talk about the knee massage even if the chair has it as a feature.Which chair has the best knee massage?Maybe a video on just feature.There are millions of people with bad knees.Watching your videos lead me to conclude massage chairs are or bad backs.Calves are not your knees.So a video on the best knee massage is needed .Over 50 many of my friends have bad knees.I guarantee you the first chair to come up with a comprehensive knee program will sell many chairs.Few have the feature or promote it which leads the consumer to believe its nothing special.Just my thoughts.
Great observation and comment, Walter. Availability of direct knee massage mechanisms in massage chairs is virtually absent. The problem with massage chairs and knee massage is that their are no rollers that directly massage the knees. Any roller mechanism would be painful to the knees, since the muscles immediately surrounding the knee joints are small mostly tendinous. There are only a couple of models that we carry which have calf airbags that can be adjusted up to cover the knees. The massage from these airbags is strictly compression. If that interests you, you can check out the JPMedics Kumo and Kaze models. Although the vast majority of chairs don't have a direct knee massage mechanism, some knee problems that are rooted in muscular imbalances from the calf and thigh can benefit from airbag compression to the calves and hips as well as roller tracks that extend down to the buttocks. But, you'd have to try them out to know if they will benefit your particular situation. Perhaps a knee massage mechanism is being designed and engineered in some massage chair factory, somewhere. I hope this helps in some way. dr. w.
Love you videos! Would love a review of the Osaki JP-Nexus made in Japan chair

In your experience do you see many issues for repairs for the Duo Max trying to decide between the Maestro LE 2.o and the Duo max
Hi, Cindy. I haven't seen a difference in repair frequency between those two models. The DuoMax is certainly the more newer and more advanced of the two models, but both are great options.
