PROS:
CONS:
The Kahuna LM6800 is a budget-friendly Shiatsu massage chair, extremely generous in features, considering its price. It combines 5 massage techniques, it has a Zero Gravity mode, 6 automatic programs (including a Yoga stretching program), air massage and heat therapy.
The Kahuna LM6800 is commercialized by AJX Distribution LLC, an American supplier of massage products. The company is based in California and has been on the market since 1997. It has an A+ rating with the BBB (Better Business Bureau).
The LM series is the most budget-friendly one they have. In addition to the LM6800, there are also a few other models in the series: the 7000, 7800, 8800.
The LM6800 is Shiatsu full body massage chair with heat therapy and a yoga program. It is available in beige and brown.
Here are its main specifications:
The LM6800 is a great value for the money, packing a lot of useful features for a really affordable price. It is also an FDA certified medical device.
It has an L-track design with 4 rollers, which translates into a more extended massage, all the way down to your glutes, not just your lower back, as it is the case with S-Track massage chairs. Given the price, this is a definitely a noteworthy thing.
Although it is not a small massage chair, it has a clever, pivoting, space saving design that occupies less space than other massage chairs, when it is reclined (dimensions: 55.5 x 30 x 48.5 inches).
The LM6800 doesn’t have the most modern, futuristic design, such as the Inada DreamWave or other top-end chairs, but it is not ugly either. It comes with a synthetic leather upholstery and it has a Zero Gravity feature with 2 reclining positions.
It has a comfortable shoulder rest, leg and foot rest and an extendable ottoman. The LM6800 can accommodate people with heights between 5’2” and 6’2”.
The LM6800 comes with a simple remote control, with logically organized buttons and a generous display screen. You’ve got control for all the functions of the chair: the Zero Gravity function, the heating therapy feature, the Yoga stretching feature. You can adjust the speed, the air massage intensity and more.
The installation of the LM6800 is not exactly a joy. The manual is not helpful enough and the translation is poor. You have to assemble 4 parts and you’ll most likely need 2 people to carry the components. However, there is always the option to opt for the White Glove delivery, which in this case might be a good idea, even though it will cost you a few extra bucks.
Features
One impressive feature for a massage chair in this price range is the smart body scan feature, usually found only in high-end chairs. Thanks to this function you can receive a customized massage for your body size.
The LM6800 features 6 automatic massage programs to choose from (relax, rejuvenate, stretching, yoga, deep tissue, sv-chiro) and uses 5 massage techniques: Shiatsu, Kneading, Rolling, Tapping and Tapping and Kneading.
The LM6800 massages different areas of your body, from neck to waist, back, lower back, buttocks.
The chair delivers a very strong foot massage and has dual foot rollers. It focuses on the pressure points of your feet and for some people, the massage will feel too rough, maybe even painful, due to the pressure applied, which is not necessarily a good thing.
Another important feature of the LM6800 is the air massage technology. Even though the chair has only 36 airbags, they are pretty effective, the pressure in them is adjustable and they can be used for your shoulders, thighs, hips, back, calves and arms.
And yet another extra pleasant function is the heat therapy, available for your lower back and calves.
Another heavily advertised feature of the LM6800 is its Yoga stretching program which stretches your body, from spine to hamstrings. This program is supposed to help remove toxins from your body and relieve stress.
On the downside, the LM6800 is a bit noisy, which doesn’t exactly help if you are trying to enjoy a relaxing massage.
The chair has a timer you can set from 15 to 30 minutes.
Overall, we consider the Kahuna LM6800 to be a real bargain. It is really affordable for a massage chair, and it offers way more features than other chairs in this price range.
You can purchase the Kahuna LM6800 for approximately $1,900. The product comes with a 30-day money back guarantee from the manufacturer, all you have to do is pay the shipping fee.
