Compared to other deluxe massage chairs, such as OSIM uHarmony Massage Chair Recliner the D3000 King Kong chair is not much different. The only noticeable difference is the price, D3000 is almost a thousand dollars cheaper. Surprisingly one of the only things which make uHarmony a superior chair is the fact that it has built-in speakers and an audio system which allows you to listen to music while getting massaged.
As with most other top of the line massage chairs King Kong has several massage modes, such as kneading , Tapping & Rolling (for the feet). It can be programmed for 2 people (same as uHarmony). The chair has back & foot heat devices which warm and relax the muscles during the massage sessions. The chair also automatically reclines to depending on the massage mode that was selected.
Most of the consumer reviews of the chair are positive apart from some exceptions. Most negative reviews are related to the fact that the LCD screen is not backlit and that it comes in one color only.
Those are acceptable flaws, compared to some chairs such as the ijiku models, which are often broken upon arrival.
The chair is notoriously hard to buy and it’s recommended that purchases be made through Amazon, which provides a discount and lower shipping fees (called the super saving shipping).
Here is the complete list of specifications from King Kong Usa:
Acupuncture point auto body shape measure sense function
Tapping, Kneading & Rolling functions
Kneading / Tapping dual function at the same time
"Inverse Kneading", clockwise / anti-clockwise direction selectable
I bought it last year and it's great! I didn't know it's only 200lbs, felt like 250!

My chair was purchased at COSTCO and is not working properly. I live in Fountain Valley, CA. Can you send someone to repair my chair?
