| The HoMedics AntiGravity recliner is moderately | | | | undeniable a comfortable position for many, so |
| priced and looks quite stylish. There are 4 | | | | why the company couldn't just say this and spare |
| different models to choose from ranging in price | | | | us the NASA techie stuff, I don't know. It just |
| from around $250 to $380. But does the chair | | | | kind of insults my intelligence. |

| expensive models give you a good shiatsu | | | | AG-2101. It comes with 10 motors that give you |
| massage as HoMedics tell us it does? Well, the | | | | a vibrating massage. I was a little disappointed |
| massager is good but there are some things I'm | | | | with it. These days a vibrating massage can seem |
| not too keen on. | | | | old fashioned or cheap when compared to the |
| When I first saw the HoMedics AntiGravity | | | | chairs that give you kneading, tapping, rolling and |
| massage recliner it reminded me a little of Elvis; | | | | even shiatsu massages. Besides, I don't find a |

| Well, that's exactly what I thought when I first | | | | and down your spine. Anyhow there are 8 |

| From the side, this particular HoMedics massage | | | | I understand that the more expensive models |
| chair looks sleek and very well proportioned. The | | | | (AG-3000, AG-3001 and AG-3000S) do offer a |
| black, faux leather upholstery and the modern | | | | better massage; there's kneading, rolling, tapping |
| head rest give it a very contemporary look | | | | and even shiatsu. I doubt if the shiatsu massage is |
| overall. But, as you walk around to the front, the | | | | up to much however, not when you're only |
| proportions seem to go a little askew. The back | | | | paying around $380; a chair that gives you |
| of the chair just seems a little too wide and the | | | | anywhere near a good shiatsu massage costs |
| footrest a little too narrow. It would look better if | | | | from around $1,800. If you can, try out a Sanyo |

| What I like less is the company's marketing pitch. | | | | I don't like the chair, but this would be wrong. |
| Its really does go on about its 'antigravitational | | | | Actually I do like it. I think it does look stylish |

| on the street, what it really means by 'antigravity' | | | | chair is that you get heat. I do like heat with my |
