Ultra-modern design and Korean high-tech solutions versus Japanese perfection and dignity. In today’s article, we juxtapose two extremely advanced massage chairs from the Far East – the cradle of massage. On the one hand, Fujiiryoki established itself as a pioneer in the field of massage chairs years ago, and we are convinced of its creativity and uncompromising quality with each successive model of the brand. On the other hand, Bodyfriend uses proprietary high-tech solutions, which South Korea has more than once shown its teeth. So which massage chair will turn out to be better, the Bodyfriend Phantom Rovo or the Fujiiryoki JP3000? Let’s find out.
What does the Bodyfriend Phantom Rovo massage chair offer?
The Phantom Rovo massage chair is a model you can’t pass by indifferently. Even at first glance, it stands out for its unusual design, and this is only the beginning of its unusual features. What is unique about it and what are its advantages over the Fujiiryoki JP3000 massage chair?
- Independent leg massagers – inspired by the movement performed while cycling, the leg massagers move separately here, allowing a whole new range of work and excellent stretching with asymmetric stretching and deep muscle relaxation.
- XD PRO massage – a massage system with 5 levels of strength adjustment and body part recognition. In addition, the chair uses Finger Moving technology, which is responsible for the increased, precise range of the massage mechanism movement deep into the body (every 1.25 mm).
- Comprehensive, very fast body scanning – in as little as 15 seconds.
- A wide range of automatic programmes – there are no fewer than 47, including the unique Brain, Mental and Healthcare Massage programmes, which cannot be found in the JP3000 which offers 38 automatic programmes.
- Extensive heating system – from the neck to the thighs, heated massage balls work as a moving heat source. The back and calves are heated with a carbon mat and the feet with heated massage rollers. In the Fujiiryoki JP3000 chair, the user has the option of heating the back, chest and feet exclusively with a carbon mat.
- Memory for 8 frequently used modes and settings.
- Quick on/off massage for each body part.
- Save space with the Auto Slide function – the massage chair can be positioned just 10 cm from the wall. When activated, it will move away from it by itself. The minimum free space behind a Fujiiryoki chair without this function is 50 cm.
- 15 safety sensors to detect unwanted objects within the massage chair’s operating range.
- Futuristic design – avant-garde shapes, chrome elements and metallic embellishments emphasise the uniqueness of the Rovo massage chair. Thanks to its unique design, it blends wonderfully with modern interiors, adding even more unique character to them.
What distinguishes the Fujiiryoki JP3000 massage chair?
The JP3000 is a fine-tuned model from the Japanese pioneer in massage chair manufacturing. The manufacturer’s many years of experience, uncompromising build quality and exceptional adjustability translate here into a massage that is precise to the limit. What unique features does the Fujiiryoki massage chair have and what sets it apart from the Bodyfriend Phantom Rovo?
- Enhanced 5D AI+ artificial intelligence algorithm. The algorithm adjusts the intensity, technique and smoothness of the massage to the user’s current needs in real-time, replicating the work of human hands and increasing the precision of the massage to the maximum. The Fujiiryoki chair is the only model in the range to use such a solution.
- Japanese medical equipment certification – confirms the positive effects of regular massage in the JP3000 chair on the human body.
- Dual sensing body scan with the marking of 8 key massage points – although not as fast as on the Phantom Rovo, it allows the massage mechanism to precisely target both superficial and deep muscles, thus reducing the user’s pain.
- Personal settings memory for 2 people – allows the user to save the result of the AI body scan, the manual adjustment of 8 key points on the spinal line, the favourite position of the chair or the setting parameters of all the airbags.
- Automatic Mindfulness programme – not found in other massage chairs, based on the concept of “meditation”, a 30-minute massage performed exclusively with airbags.
- Extended airbag massage system – covers 8 zones: shoulders, forearms and hands, back, hips, buttocks, thighs, calves, and feet. What’s more, the strength of the airbag massage can be adjusted in as many as 7 levels of intensity for each zone separately. In the Bodyfriend Phantom Rovo, it is possible to adjust the intensity of the airbags in 5 stages for all zones combined.
- Flat and Total Relax positions – the chair reclines to a lying position, which increases the intensity of the massage, especially during stretching programmes. However, you can stop this process at any time by choosing the most comfortable massage position for you. Rovo offers the user the Zero Gravity position that relieves pressure on muscles and joints but does not fold out to a Flat position.
- Extremely effective whole body stretching – in one of 5 dedicated stretching programmes – from subtle to extreme.
- Shiatsu foot roller massage – the JP3000’s special foot massage roller enables a traditional Japanese Shiatsu massage that you won’t experience in any other massage chair.
- As many as 53 massage techniques, while the Rovo has 7. In addition, the Fujiiryoki JP3000 has 12 levels of massage intensity for the massage arms. In the Bodyfriend Phantom Rovo, the user can adjust the strength of the massage arms in 5 levels.
- Bluetooth speakers with bass-reflex system – allow for luxurious sound quality. The speakers used are full-range and stereo sound is realised with a DSP processor and multi-band equaliser.
- The design kept in the spirit of Japanese minimalism – makes the massage chair a unique complement to interiors whose keys are simplicity and elegance. The model is available in 3 classic colours: graphite black, brown and white.
There is no doubt that the Bodyfriend Phantom Rovo and Fujiiryoki JP3000 massage chairs are two different worlds. The extravagant Rovo will not escape anyone’s attention, and its independent leg massagers are sure to make armchair massages that much more interesting. This model is an excellent choice for those who like innovative solutions and want to emphasise the modernity of their interior. On the other hand, the elite JP3000 is synonymous with prestige and luxury, and the precision of the massage in this massage chair is second to none. In addition, its minimalist, classic design makes it a tasteful decoration for interiors of different architectural styles. If you want a professional massage without leaving your home and appreciate elegance, this model will be perfect for you.
