Beware of Chi Machine Imitations
The Original Sun Harmony, Sun Ancon Oxygenating Massager,
Exerciser is patented in 5 (five) countries, and medically licensed
(Japan). Watch out for imitations selling for much less!
The Chi Machine is a Passive Aerobic Exerciser. Since it's
popularity many manufacturers have built their own version of a
Passive Aerobic Exerciser. The secret of a genuine Passive Aerobic
Exercisers (A) is their motor is perfectly balanced and the rocking
motion is perfectly balanced from left to right. Imitation Passive
Aerobic Exercisers (B) look like they perform the proper movement,
but are not balanced, thus they do not produce optimal effects.
There are other imitation/copycat devices on the market today.
These devices, in an attempt to sell the machines for less, have
used inferior motors in them. This causes the machine to not be able
to provide the smooth, consistent, balanced motion necessary to
receive the health benefits the machine was designed for. The fake
machines usually sell for between $98-$449.
Our Manufacturer has tried a number of Imitation/Copycat
machines, here are their comments:
- The Oxyciser, which is available from the Home Shopping
Network for $98. It has a very weak motor and a violent motion
that has had many people complaining of injury. This Oxyciser
comes with a warning that you could burn the motor up if you use
it for more than 15 minutes at a time and don't rest it a half
hour between uses. It also specifies that it is not to be used
commercially or in a professional healthcare office. The Chi
Machine is made to be used in a busy doctor's office (MD, DC, ND,
LMT).
- The Stress Buster by Tinny Beauty, they have 2 models one
cheap one and a 'deluxe' model. This was made by a former Chi
Machine distributor that took the Chi Machine to China and through
a Chinese government sponsored program is having this fake machine
built there. It is sold here though a couple of distributors. It
is not his main business, he just makes these as extra income.
Just call them and you will see.
- The Swing Machine or Healthy Swing. Again a variable speed
control and an inferior product. It weighs only 7lbs. The Chi
Machine is more sturdy and built to be used in hospitals. There
are probably others, but these are the ones I have run across the
most.
If you have any doubts as to any of this information I suggest
you call the company that makes each machine. You will find NO real
companies behind any of these other machines, just importers of
boxes trying to make a quick buck. They have had people purchase
these machines only to return them and buy a Chi Machine.
Do your own research and you will realize that it is no bargain
to buy an inferior product that could not only break down in a few
months, but could harm you. It's not worth saving a few bucks on
something that you'll be using to maximize your health two or more
times per day. No copy can compare with a Genuine Passive Aerobic
Exerciser.
