Kahuna Massage Chair
Kahuna, owned by AJX Distribution Inc. in California, began in 2013 as an Amazon-first brand and rapidly grew into one of the most visible names in the U.S. massage chair space. Its claim to fame is performance-driven chairs with aggressive pricing, particularly in the $1,500–$5,000 range.
While the brand lacks a luxury polish and isn't accredited by the BBB, it compensates with an extensive lineup, surprising feature density, and chairs that frequently appear at the top of Amazon’s bestseller lists. Kahuna engineers its chairs in-house, builds them in ISO-certified facilities in Asia, and handles warranty and parts from California. For users focused on value, stretch, and long tracks, it's an appealing contender—though refinement takes a back seat to performance.
Panasonic Massage Chair
Panasonic is a household name with over 100 years of engineering legacy—and its massage chairs are no exception. With all models engineered and manufactured in Japan, Panasonic takes a medical-mechanical approach, prioritizing deep-tissue techniques, safety, and durable construction.
Rather than competing on flashy tech or oversized recliners, the brand aims for clinical-level massage in compact, well-designed packages. Chairs like the MAK1, MAN1, and MAF1 serve different needs but all emphasize roller refinement, real muscle therapy, and long-lasting mechanical consistency. Panasonic isn’t a lifestyle brand—it’s a wellness instrument disguised as furniture.
