I love my chair. I’ve had it for 3 weeks and use it daily.Pros:Blue toothManual modeHeated legs and back (adjustable)Ability to adjust air pressure, heat intensity, and roller heightThe ability to fix the rollers all up and down your head and back. I focus on my neck and shoulders.Spectacular massages all around. Even people who “hate massages” like itThe airbags, especially on the feet and sides and headThe look of envy when people see it.Cons:Can’t adjust the intensity of the rollers. Reallly wish I could because I’m a wimp.That roller thing at the back of your calves/knees. What is that? It’s horrible. I feel like I’m getting a friction burn, so I turn it off.I’m short (5’4) and I don’t really see the big deal with the yoga stretch. It just seems to pull my knees and thighs. I was super excited about this feature and for me, it’s meh. My 6’3 husband and other tall family members love it. Maybe it’s a height thing, or I’m doing it wrong. I feel like it doesn’t hold the stretch quite long enough.It’s an investment, but it’s a worthy one.

Never had a massage chair before, so I have nothing to compare it to, but my wife and I really enjoy this one.PROS:– She’s 5′-4″ and I’m 6′-1″, and the chair accommodates us both pretty well.– Huge array of rollers, air bags, massaging motions, programs, etc.– The built-in heating pad works well.– The sleep aid and anti-stress programs are our favorites because they’re gentle (some of the programs are a little harsh).– Assembly was fairly easy and quick. Just had to remove and replace two side units because I hadn’t known to extricate the remote cable before putting them on.– Appears very solidly built.– Pretty quiet operation.– The fit & finish are immaculate. Seams are tidy, there are zippers everywhere for removing fabric panels, and the paint job is flawless.CONS:– The remote is not up to the quality of design found in the rest of the chair. It has no way of saving settings. We knew this from other reviews, but it is just mind boggling that it wasn’t included in the design. There’s no good reason that it couldn’t save my scanned dimensions, and that it can’t remember my wife’s air intensity setting. I sure hope there’s a remote upgrade option available soon.– The buttons don’t light up, so we have to memorize where they are and feel for them in the dark. Such a simple, inexpensive thing to have designed into the product. Very shortsighted.– Navigating the menu is confusing. By the time we remember how to turn down the intensity, we’re already getting beaten up. Maybe we’ll get quicker at it eventually.– The back rollers bruise my lower back near the tail bone (although this doesn’t happen to my wife). I definitely need to add some padding there.– The foot rollers push pretty hard, too, so we both agree that we need to add some padding under the feet. Another customer said that the company will send free pads, but we haven’t requested them yet.– Wife complains that the lower leg air bags squeeze her calves too hard, even at lowest air pressure setting. I don’t imagine we can adjust that any further.– The head massage is just a pair of air bags at the temples. Nothing exciting. Wife thinks they squeeze too hard.– It took me quite a few tries to connect my new Android phone to the bluetooth speakers. They actually show up as two separate bluetooth devices, named differently than in the instructions. The first one allows pairing, but no connection (appears not to be an audio device). Eventually I somehow got the second device to show up in the list, and was able to pair and connect. Sound quality is just mediocre.– No fault of Kahuna, but the local delivery guy refused to put the chair in the house, even though we ostensibly paid for over-the-threshold delivery. He left it in the driveway and I had to completely unpack it out there to heft the parts inside. Good thing it wasn’t raining out.We did quite a lot of research on the web, and we’re glad we went with Kahuna. (Particularly because at least one other competing company puts up bogus “review” web sites with deceiving domain names just to steer people to their company web page! Won’t mention their name, but their initials are MB).It’s only been a week so far, but we’re happy with the purchase. The Kahuna Hubot seems like a quality product overall.

The top lock on the arm malfunctioned immediately after the first use, once it was assembled. I requested assistance from a technician and explained I am disabled and not able to remove the arm myself. I was sent a lock to do the repair of a brand new chair, myself. I only have proper use of 1 arm and explained this to the customer service provider. I now have a very expensive chair that needs repair and can’t be trusted to not injure me. The massage is great, if the arm doesn’t pop off, which happens almost every time. Update, replaced the lock and it’s worse. Now any pressure will make that arm pop off, such as getting into the chair and holding that side.

Never thought I would be purchasing such an expensive massage chair but I’m happy I did.I’ll start with the Pros, Cons, and lastly Hopes.Pros:1. The full body heat feature makes a huge difference in the massage experience, this was a lower on my decision matrix when I was comparing with similar chairs and now it’s one of my favorite features.2. The amount of massage points are outstanding. Personal favorites are hands/forearms, glutes, calves, and head.3. A very good amount of preset massage themes, all with their own unique type of massage. Really like some of the stretching ones.4. iOS and Android apps are well made if you don’t want to use the remote (the remote isn’t as bad as the other reviews make it out to be).5. Bluetooth is kinda neat.6. The range of movement is very impressive it’s able to put you at 180 degrees with the ‘zero G’ button.7. Nice customization options for massage times, massage locations, airbag strength, speed, but strangely enough you cannot adjust the massage roller strength… (hopefully a software update will address this).Cons:1. As mentioned above you strangely enough cannot adjust the massage strength of the rollers. You can adjust the airbag intensity, airbag location, massage speed, body part, range of body parts covered, time, height of chair, height of foot rest, but not the strength of the regular rollers…2.. The chair doesn’t seem to have onboard memory so it will not remember you or your “favorite settings” it has to scan you first each time. Just takes about 10-15 seconds. But it’d be nice if it had profiles for different users and favorite settings, like: User: 1 – Favorite 1: (Heat on, massage on feet and head only). You instead have to manually select each thing you want or do not want one at a time every time. Not a deal breaker but something that really should have been included at this price point.Hopes:1. Add a massage roller strength option (1,2,3,4,5 or High/Medium/Low)2. Add a heat level/intensity option (High/Medium/Low)3. Use the phone’s memory via the App to solve the Profile/Favorite issue so you can save your favorite customized manual selections.There is an *Update* button on the phone apps Settings, so I assume my above hopes would be possible to add via a future update.

I received my Kahuna Hubot HM-078 in black one week ago today. I wanted to give it a little time before I added this review as this is a FEATURE RICH massager and it takes a bit of time to explore it’s programs and capabilities. First. This chair fits me very well. It also fits most of my other family members just as well, ages 12 and older. The headrest has a little weight bag on it and adjusts very easily to anyone that sits in it. Ok, I am gonna be honest, I did a ton of research and I knew this chair would be both very good and capable, but I was not aware that Kahuna provided some auto programs that are capable of doing things I have never experienced in any massage, human or mechanical. I am referring to the Kahuna Yoga Stretching program. I don’t do Yoga, never have. I have degenerative lower back arthritis that was diagnosed as advancing 20 years ago. The Yoga stretching program is able to actually stretch my spine and lower back which is absolutely mind blowing and pain relieving. I was blown away by this. There is a program for just about every mood and ache or pain that you may have on any given day. Some of them are very intense(anti-stress) and others are soothing (sleep aid) and will settle you right into a good nights rest as long as you can get yourself out of the chair at the program end (you will be very relaxed). Other programs like rocking and deep tissue, have there place as well. The heat in this chair takes a few mins to get going, which is normal, but works very well once it does and covers your torso and legs and feet which is another excellent feature. There is virtually no part of your body that will not be intensely or gently soothed and massaged in this AMAZING chair depending on your needs and choice. When my wife saw it, she was a bit put off as it is not a small chair(although it works well just 5 inches from the wall). She said it looked like it belongs at Disney’s Epcot. I laughed and said ok, just wait. And then she tried it and she does not make any jokes any more…everyone in my family that has tried this chair I asked them to give it a rating from 1-5 with 5, being incredible. The Hubot got all 5’s across the board. I did a 20 minute sleep aid before I went to bed last night and I can not recall the last time I slept so deeply and well. The bluetooth connection, app and speakers for music streaming are stellar and easy to use. I stream the SPA radio channel from Apple Music whenever someone including myself is enjoying the massager. Everyone loves this thing. I could go on and on about this massager, but I will leave you with this if you are considering a purchase. My son plays pop warner tackle football and in our first week of ownership we have used this chair to prepare him for a game or to recover after a tough practice. Here is what he says about the Kahuna Hubot “Dad, you have bought a lot of cool stuff, but this chair is the GREATEST thing you have ever bought!”Last but not least : The service and response from GPW customer service is TOP NOTCH. I was upgraded during my process and they called to let me know. I also did purchase white glove (this thing is heavy) and the delivery/setup went perfectly. Was well worth it. They had me sit in and test everything before they left and made adjustments just as if I was in a retail store. Huge thumbs up! This is worth every penny especially if you are aging like me (just turned 50, this was my gift) and have joint pain, you can have a massage or two or three every single day or night.Update after a month of ownership: Not a day goes by that I do not use this chair. I love all the programs, but I have also discovered that the manual mode of this chair takes things up a huge notch once you acclimate to a daily massage. I tested out a very intense massage last night on manual and man this chair has higher gears and lower gears if you want more or less, it really is fantastic and the build is so solid, it will last a long time. I will say this chair is definitely for someone very serious about massage therapy. It can deliver in all respects.
