Hi. I looked at the tabes, and I can tell you a little of my experience with the
Lifegear.
I bought one of these at Sam's in 1999. I used it for hotel call work. I also worked on someone elses at a small day spa, while doing some fill in work for about 1 year.
Pros:
- Least expensive table if you aren't sure what you want or just need something to get by. 179.99 + $39.95 shipping = $220
- May be able to go to your local Sam's Club and pick it up to save S&H.
Cons:
- Table Weight 37 lbs -- That really does become heavy. This coming from a girl who grew up (even as a young teenager with a wheel barrow) toting 40 lb. feed sacks out to the barn on a weekly basis.
- The prongs that fit into the legs at the head portion of the table don't take so much weight. On the second massage I did on that table (new) at the place I filled in, the armrest broke because a client decided to use it to push his body up to look at me mid-massage --- because he thought he had something really important to tell me and wanted to make an emphasis. Unfortunately, all that happened was the arm rest prongs broke and then he didn't know what to say. :?
- The prong in the leg situation, instead of the hinged legs it a bit of a pain to set up quickly, requires a lot more bending {Also, in 2007, one of the prongs for the legs legs finally broke on my original table I spoke of regarding: "I purchased it for hotel work". So, how do I know this? I gave it to a friend back in 2001 and I saw it two days after it broke this year.} I guess the good news is, that it lasted until 2007. But, there are plenty of people who tell you they've had a massage table for 14+ years, so it may be something to take into consideration when making the purchase.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Of the 4 you mentioned, you asked which one we'd pick. I'd have to go with the
NRG Karma.
Now, here's why.
First the
Fellston Pure Grace Massage Table and Free Matching Stool for
$315 w/ S&H and the
LifeGear Deluxe Massage Table Package for
$220 with S&H automatically get nixed because of the prong arm rest (mentioned in my initial comments about the Lifegear above) and the weights of 38 lbs. and 37 lbs. of weight respectively.
So, now that leaves the
NRG Karma and the Coronado to pick from. I would nix the
Coronado, because I assume you are looking to get the best bang for your buck. The NRG is less expensive at
$280 with S&H to the Coronado's
$325 with S&H. The NRG had Reiki Endplates and the Coronado does not. You may never use them, but they don't decrease the stability of the table any (to my knowledge), so why not have them? The weight is the same (33 lbs.) for each, BUT the height range is different. Your call name is MassageChick, so unless you are 6' tall, you don't need a table that goes way up into the sky. Therefore, I would assume that the
NRG Karma height range of 22" to 33" would be more beneficial as you get the lower range in case you want to do deeper work as opposed to the
Coronado height range of 27" to 35.5".
I had a little of a hard time finding if the NRG comes with the carry case or not, but it does (see the bottom of the NRG linked page).
This Purchase Includes:
NRG Karma Massage Table
NRG Carrying Case
NRG Headrest
- so that helps.
I don't see that the Coronado comes with a carrycase, so you may have to purchase one on your own. However, I did find some less expensive carry cases the other day and will try to add them to the Tools section (or to this post in a few days - in working on this post which seems to have taken longer than I planned, that info is at another location
).
Now the last comparison that I want to make is on the working weights.
NRG:
Weight Capacity 450 lbs.
Static Weight 1000 lbs.
Coronado:
Working weight 525 lbs 238.6 kgs
Static weight 2,200 lbs 1,000 kgs
Since you are asking about the tables, I figure you are fairly new in the profession. With that assumption comes the guesstimate that you will most likely eventually get another table at some time down the road. Your high end model so-to-speak. So, if you don't have the need for working on anyone over 450 lbs. right now then I don't see that the extra 100 lbx. of working weight makes a big difference.
And, therefore, that is why you get an NRG Karma vote from me.
I do hope this helps.
=========================================
PS. Because of the A & B table post made above mine, I would consider looking at this table,
The New Masterpiece: especially if they have it in a B and the B is actually only cosmetic --- as that too would be in the price range you are interested in. It gives you a little more working weight and an arms shelf (which you don't have in the NRG Karma).
:
t017 You just unfold the table, the legs pop out, you turn the table upright and away you go! Perhaps this is something specific to that brand???
