Relaxonchair MK-II PLUS Review: TESTED & Compared [2022]

The idea of an affordable massage chair with incredible rejuvenating massage techniques sounds almost too perfect. It’s a fact that the most luxurious and important features of a good massage chair are a thing of the more expensive models.

.

Well, is that really so? We’ve done some research and here’s the good news: you can wave your chronic back pain and sore glutes goodbye.

.

An affordable version of its costly peers, this massage chair is a competitor to all the big names out there with some pleasant surprises.

Does it have it all? You’re about to find out with our RelaxOnChair MK-II Plus review because we’re here to ease your decision with a straight-to-the-point and honest review of its most important features and downsides.

Let’s put this massage chair into perspective and help you find instant relief in the form of a full-body massage!

RelaxOnChair Review

RelaxOnChair MK-II may brag that it offers only the highest quality components, but we’ll let you discover that on your own.

According to many RelaxOnChair reviews online, it’s one of the best massage chairs out there. But is it? Let’s have a look at its features and benefits.

Most important chair features of RelaxOnChair

1. L-track innovation

This massage chair is a hybrid between the S- and the L-track, which is very beneficial for people with sciatica, lower back pain, and sore or tight glute muscles.

It provides you with a full body massage with the rollers following the spine, reaching all the way to the glutes and thighs.

A minor fault may be that the track does reach all the way to the glutes, but not much further.

2. 3D body scan

The chair has a built-in body scanning technology, which makes the massage much more personal and boosts the experience at the same time.

The downside is that on occasion the massage now and then leaves out an occasional pressure point.

3. Deep tissue massage

If you’re dealing with chronic back pain, this is the chair for you.

RelaxOnChair also provides its users with various levels of intensity and the strongest setting will make you and your back happy.

4. Zero gravity position

This zero gravity massage chair offers three zero gravity positions. Lying in a position where the knees are a bit above the heart, enables a deeper, more thorough massage.

This is a great opportunity and a very important feature, as most of the massage chairs on the market today offer only two positions.

5. Massage option programs

There are three standard techniques that this chair offers: tapping, kneading, and a combo of kneading and tapping.

Apart from this, the chair is programmed for four massage routines: deep tissue, relaxation, rejuvenation, and stretch.

6. Lower back heat

The two heating elements in the chair are something a lot of its peers of the same budget lack, which is a definite plus, but there are a couple of drawbacks to the back heat area.

First of all, the heating elements are quite large, and the heat reaches all the way to the mid-back.

Secondly, it’s impossible to control the temperature, it’s either heating, or it’s not.

7. Air massage system

There are twenty airbags placed around the chair to provide its users with maximum massage benefits.

While this may not sound a lot because superior models offer a much more professional airbag massage at a higher cost, this RelaxOnChair feature is a welcoming addition to a full-body massage.

8. Body stretch function

While the chair offers a body stretch function, many RelaxOnChair MK-II Plus reviews claim that it’s not strong enough.

Body stretching is very therapeutic and beneficial; it can also offer instant pain relief. Even if it’s not strong enough to ease your back pain, you may still enjoy it.

9. Foot and calf massage

Even though there is an option for a foot and leg massage, the massage in itself is nothing special.

While it will provide relief, it was described as average by a lot of users.

On the other hand, the foot roller massage is very awfully aggressive and even too much to handle.

In order to ease the foot massage, wear an extra pair of socks, or place a cloth or a towel below each foot, as many have done before you.

10. One-hand remote

The remote of this chair comes with a small LCD, but it’s very easy to use and find, with logically placed controls.

The only downside to the remote is that while the LCD is nicely lit, the buttons are not illuminated, and they are difficult to see in the dark.

About RelaxOnChair Brand (Company)

The RelaxOnChair MK-II Plus comes from an off-brand company, which offers other massage chairs and various relaxation devices.

They carefully test each massage chair before they send it to the market. With an off-brand product, you get more for your money, yet at the same time, their customer support is not the best.

The MK-II Plus chair comes with a three-year non-transferable warranty.

This is a minus side to purchasing non-branded products because they don’t have an office, and dispatch everything online. They do provide customer service though.

The RelaxOnChair massage chair is made of high-quality synthetic leather.

The chair is FDA approved and can be used as a medical device.

The setup of installing the chair is very simple since it requires a minimal three-step process that can be done in no time.

The chair weighs 183 lbs. And it’s able to accommodate people up to 300 pounds.

The MK-II Plus also provides three levels of massage intensity and three manual massages (tapping, kneading, and a combo of both).

It is able to tilt back, and what’s more, it is adjustable to different heights.

Conclusion on RelaxOnChair MK-II Plus Review

While this MK-II Plus doesn’t have it all when it comes to a massage chair, it actually offers a wide variety of options for its price.

There are, however, some minor drawbacks that may play an important role in the eyes of potential customers, such as the flexibility of the chair.

Another downside is that this chair is supposedly one of the shiatsu massagers.

While it is advertised as the shiatsu massage chair, the shiatsu isn’t actually one of the techniques this model offers.

That option is, however, a technique of the MK-II’s big brother, the RelaxOnChair MK-IV.

To sum up, the RelaxOnChair MK-II will give you what you need: a solid massage experience with a few variations, for both, your wallet and your pain relief.

After all, it is only a basic massage chair on a budget that, prides itself on a few extra features that its competitors lack, such as heat therapy, or three-level zero gravity.

RelaxOnChair MK VS Kahuna LM6800

RelaxOnChair isn’t the only massage chair out there. Kahuna LM 6800 also provides its users with real relax (it is a different brand).

When it comes to price, features, and even appearance, the Kahuna massage chair is similar in all three features to the RelaxOnChair Zero Gravity Shiatsu chair.

The differences between Kahuna and RelaxOnChair

While both chairs offer a zero-gravity feature, the MK-II Plus provides three different stages, while the Kahuna is limited to only two.

It all depends on your preferences, and this may not be important, but it’s still good to know that you have an extra option available with the MK-II Plus.

Another thing to consider is the whole design of the armrest, but the difference is strictly visual.

The armrest of the Kahuna is fully integrated into the side panels, while the armrest of the MK-II Plus seems to be separated from the rest of the chair.

When it comes to heat therapy, it’s the Kahuna that wins the duel.

The RelaxOnChair RC-MKII does offer a heater for the lower back area, but the Kahuna has an option to provide heat therapy to both, the lower back area and the calves.

The space-saving issue might be very important when it comes to choosing a massage chair.

It’s the Kahuna chair that offers a space-saving recline technology where the MK-II Plus doesn’t. For anyone with smaller living rooms and spaces, this is a crucial feature.

Our verdict is that both chairs are quite similar; the features, the techniques, and their appearance.

They are also in the same price range which would make a tough competition since their differences are minor.

There is, however, one important advantage that it’s nearly impossible to overlook: The Kahuna has a space-saving technology, and if space is an issue, the Kahuna definitely advances the RelaxOnChair.

Last Thoughts on MK-II Plus

Are you impressed with the MK-II Plus massage chair yet? For a casual user or a hard-core deep tissue fan, this massage chair offers comfort and advantages over others in this price range.

What’s more, a regular good-quality massage chair would cost around $5000, which is why is the MK-II Plus a decent alternative with an affordable price tag.

While it can’t boast the most luxurious features, this massage chair is somewhat a golden middle between the boasting brands that dry your wallet and low-quality chairs that do their job poorly.
