Dead 🙁
Not dead
Ordered one just in time. Literally a minute after I went back to read the details to see if I want to cancel it was back to 2800.
Check offers from other sellers, Amazon doesn’t have the Buy Box because they are 1-3months out.
Not dead
Not dead for me either
I wonder if I can trade in my Herman-Miller Areon chair?
Bought. Let see if amazon honors it
Price mistake or junk?
Very tempting
I still see it live do you think it’s a glitch
its a new item…..
Not sold on medical breakthrough web site so maybe a discontinued item.
I’ve been eyeing a massage chair for a while (was leaning towards Kahuna), but jumped on this. I’ve researched this chair before as well, and it seems to be an Amazon exclusive, or something like that, as they had the old version as well (this is 2.0) and have never sold the “4” on their own website. No clue what the deal is in this case, however, and all the reviews everywhere on the web (even Yelp) seem so good, I’m having trouble thinking this is legit…
Deal is still alive. Any idea why it is so cheap (75% off of the original sales price). Almost too good to be true.
I am in for 1 at least until the wife finds out and cancels it and takes my phone away. The price is to good to be true, I hope nothing is wrong with the chair or me.
Don, Good luck! I am in the same boat. My wife is about to find out I did the same.
Lol.. i guess I’ll see u sleeping in the curb then.
Ill bring the large cardboard box…… who will be enjoying the chairs if we are by the curb………
Will def be canceled. I called to ask if the 4 has a warranty not even mentioning Amazon and he said he was aware of Amazon glitch. He said shipping alone is $600. Btw 4 only has 1 year warranty. Higher model has 3 year. They will be selling one in costco in a few months for 5500
Ben- You called whom? The company directly?
I just got the last one before the price went back up to $2,799! Always wanted one of these and if this is legit that’s a steal. Hopefully the reviews are accurate.
Firstly, it does not appear to be dead. Still comes up as $730 with this link. (
1) Interestingly – If u just search amazon for the identical product, it comes up with the full price, yet with the dansdeals link it has the $730. Dan, or anyone, any idea why?
2) Mine says ships in 1-3 months, and after the order, the estimated delivery is indeed Oct-Dec. Anyone else have the same?
I had 1 & 2 both happen to me
I ordered one but I am skeptical about the real value of the product as the company is up to model #8 and maybe they are just trying to get rid of old stock
I think you’re right. This is five generations old. They use all kinds of marketing techniques like increasing the price every two weeks, limited supply, endless paid testimonials blah blah blah. But yeah I bought one all the same.
Down to $636 bucks…How can this be an Amazon error if they haven’t corrected it for 2 days, and are now discounting it further?
Shows up as $730 when you add to cart.
Right you are, and now back to the “regular” 730. This is really bizarre!
Did you order one? Just curious
People are always interested in the life of SY19. Yes, I did.
This is in the Q&A on Amazon
I saw the Breakthrough 4 being sold for $730, is that an error?
Answer: The Medical Breakthrough 4 is a $5,999 chair that is on sale for $2799. The $730 is a knock-off chair. It is not a Medical Breakthrough chair. You will get a completely different chair that doesn’t even look the same. We are working with Amazon to get it removed. If you order the $730, please cancel the order.
You will not be getting a Medical Breakthrough chair, you will get a Chinese knock-off with no warranty. Please purchase directly from Official-Medical Breakthrough to get a chair that is warranted and backed by over 26 doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, pain specialist, and surgeons.
If you have questions, please visit our official site at http://www.MedicalBreakthrough.org to see all the models.
Thank you,
Medical Breakthrough Team
If my chair ships and it’s a Chinese counterfeit, I would trust Amazon would stand step in.
FYI… the listing shows the seller as “Official-Medical Breakthrough” which is them direct. When you click on the hyperlink it takes you to their $5k and $6k chairs and other products. If this is a Chinese knock-off… someone either broke into their account to list under their name or somehow spoofed it.
Item Under Review
This item is currently unavailable because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it’s described here. (Thanks for the tip!)
We’re working to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
This explains why it says 4 – 5 business days for shipping… but will arrive between Oct. 26 and Dec. 11th! Something messed up. That kind of shipping it usually from China… but the product description is all like the medical breakthrough. I am sure amazin will end up cancelling them after their review… but will be interesting what they say. Probably end up being their regular canned email with a $5 credit. Sad if it is, though. Same response for a mistake in a tube of toothpaste to when I commit to a $750 purchase. lol. I guess we shall see. Now here I was all excited! Oh well.
this item is no longer under review. anyone know if we’ll be getting the real chair??
Same question . ~$750 is still a lot of money. I want to make sure we are not getting junk.
Have to imagine it’ll be cancelled, right? Amazon isn’t going to pay the manufacturer to send the real chairs to us. But then, will Amazon ship the fake/knock off? Cuz if so, is it even worth getting it and having to deal with a 200 lb incorrect product?
was thinking the same thing. unless we can keep the fake chair and still get full refund from amazon 😉
Oddly enough, I see it’s back on Amazon for sale at $740 (under “other sellers”). This makes no sense to me.
https://www.amazon.com/ask/questions/TxGD1YEEUBQ449/?
sems it’s a knock off of the real thing
Post has changed the photo from massage chair to back of massage chair and now utility knife.. $750 of utility knife! Amazon is keep getting worse..
So excited to get my utility knife. I hope it can get all the nots out of my back.
Did anyone that ordered early actually get this shipped?
I ordered right away and hasn’t shipped yet- now it shows a pic of a utility knife in my “orders”. is everyone cancelling the order?
Plus, you can still buy the $740 “utility knife” from Amazon. I have tried chatting with them a few times since it appears their “investigation” was complete, but nobody could give me any info. Best case scenario is it’s a knock off massage chair and we can get reimbursed? Cuz I likely won’t be shipping back a 200 lb chair.
I am so confused – I got an email that its shipping between November-December but the email shows a knife but the description still says massage chair – is this a scam?
I wouldn’t cancel my order, I would just wait for it to come in the mail.
If the item is different from what we ordered, then Amazon will make it right.
Hello,
We have good news! We’re able to get your order to you sooner than we originally promised. Your new estimated delivery dates are listed below. We’ll send a confirmation when your items ship.
Delivery Estimate Details
Placed on Monday, September 17, 2018
Your new estimated delivery date is: Thursday, October 25, 2018 – Wednesday, October 31, 2018
I got the same email.
Same email and showing a razor.. perfect for Alibaba/Ali express, but Amazon?? Come on!!
I’ve tried chatting with Amazon multiple times, but nobody has a clue. They keep asking me to cancel the order and re-order, and I say no, I want my chair. But I’m guessing they’ll ship me a knife and charge 730 dollars for it? This is fascinating, never seen amazon with a situation like this one.
My CC was charged today for the chair but it doesn’t show as shipped yet and the arrival date is estimated as Oct 30. This is a very fancy boxcutter. Let’s see what actually arrives.
Just to add. Amazon says it shipped via usps. Hard to believe they would send a 200 pound box thru usps
I also received an email today from amazon saying order would arrive on Oct 23 or Oct 24.
True the picture shows a box cutter but the product description next to the pic correctly describes the massage chair. I am inclined to ignore the pic. Probably want to get people to cancel their order so they won’t have to make good on the deal. Wait and see what comes.
DAN, whats your opinion??
My amex got charged too. Arrival date oct 25th.
got my delivery estimate update email…lets see who gets their box cutter or chair first? 🙂
I tried canceling and couldn’t
My question is why didn’t Amazon just cancel these themselves? Their agents just tell me to cancel and order a new one (obviously impossible, as the chair is no longer available, just the “5” and “6” model which are thousands of dollars).
So clearly Amazon checked it out, and somehow after all this time just decided to make it a boxcutter, rather than just cancelling the order like an airline does with “mistake fares”? How does any of this make sense?
The box cutter may be a gift from Amazon when they let everyone know that they will not get the chair.
Well either way an Amazon rep. confirmed threshold delivery so at least I won’t have to shelp the utility knife in my house and I don’t have to worry about theft. I just hope whatever Amazon delivers can get the knots out from my back…
No way a chair would ship USPS… Would have to come freight, ups or fedex. Looking forward to my free knife however.
Yep…my “chair” just got shipped along with some bird repellent…I’m guessing I’m getting some knife tomorrow upon delivery…
Next question…what do we do then? If Amazon refused to cancel the order, and instead asking me nonstop to cancel it and reorder, do they have some obligation to provide the product??? doubt it, but was real weird that they didn’t just cancel everyone’s order.
According to Amazon I am getting my shipment tomorrow via AMZL US. No space in apartment and wifey doesn’t know about it. Curb guys make space for one more there.
Delivered but can’t find it at reception.. ha ha ha
item under review again….
Got an update the other day that it’s arriving next Thursday. Messaged Amazon as soon as I saw the picture of the knife and the chat agent assured me that the item I ordered is what’s being shipped– not the knife. Agent excused that the item is discontinued as the reason for a new product showing up…
Agents know nothing. Be aware you are getting knife. Btw charges in credit card still pending that means amazon not charging us for it.
Got it! It’s a red box cutter. This is rediculous as I am charged $700+ for it.
I hope you are kidding….
@Don – no kidding bud.. I wanted it but I have no space so win win.
I am not using box cutter yet though. May be a collectors item 😉
I called Amazon they told me the box cutter was a freebie to use to open the box containing the chair.. and the rep was like just kidding the chair is in not coming. Harsh, but very funny..
Got a box cutter too.
Anyone know the reasoning?
Why not cancel it altogether? Seems interesting
Just got email that it is shipping, and will be delivered tommorow. it’s coming with another small item i ordered, i would be surprised if this is anything other than the utility knife.
What’s the plan here? Just chat/email and have them refund the money.
My amex shows pending charges means it might not go through.
Delivered today. https://imgur.com/a/S2Sj19A
got the box cutter in the mail today!
Got a box cutter too. So if this product was sold BY Amazon, shouldnt they have to fix the probelm and replace the item with what was ordered at their cost? how is that not false advertising, and a scam? if they knew it was a problem and changed the item to a box cutter, why not cancel all the orders? This seems super illegal to me? :-\
Got the utility knife.. 33 minutes on the phone with them, got a refund and $50 amazon credit
I have been asked to return the item and then I’ll get refund in 3-5 days. Amazon is not taking any responsibility and their customer service is getting worst day by day.
Rather than waste my time with a knife I went ahead of my scheduled thursday delivery and was successful below

Medical Breakthrough 4 Massage Chair Recliner (ver 2.0) – Zero Gravity, Built-in Heat, Deep Tissue Shiatsu Massage, and Back Stretch (Black)
Sold by Amazon.com Services, Inc
Cancel Reason: Customer Canceled
We hope to see you again soon.
Amazon.
An hour later on the phone with amazon, Amazon gave me an immediate return and gave me a $20 statement credit. Still have to send the box cutter back…
Got a refund and $50 credit after demanding it from a chat rep.
Technically, this is likely a breach of contract by Amazon, and they are probably legally responsible to provide us with the chair (not a lawyer, but in contracting, and their offer was accepted by us, making it a contract).
Who wants to hire an attorney and get a class action together!!!??
i was originally offered $5 as a credit when i asked. then they went up to $10 when i said that’s not enough for the huge mistake. I said it’s still not enough they said that’s all they are authorized to give. I asked for a supervisor. with him i tried asking if they could match the price on the higher version massage chair…they said it will be a couple days to review and they’ll get back to me. they emailed that they can not price match it. so i wrote back that i didnt discuss the credit bec i was hoping to get the chair and i’m really disappointed that i’m not getting it etc and that i know someone had the same issue with their order and they received a $50 amazon credit and can they do that for me. and they said they can and gave me the $50 credit. (thank you to whoever posted about getting $40 on the facebook thread) i would have much preferred the chair but i’ll take the $50.
oops i wrote $40 by mistake on the post before. I meant thanks to the person on facebook who said they got FIFTY dollars.
i too got a shipping email “”Medical Breakthrough 4…” has shipped….Arriving:
Thursday, October 25″.
Funny thing is what the chat rep said –
Me: Email says Medical Breakthrough 4 Massage Chair but link shows utility knife
sravya: Yes that is the one you ordered. Yes for that, there might be a technical glitch
Me: ok thanks. that’s good
sravya: I’ve forwarded the feedback to our concerned team and will get it corrected for you within an hor or two.We are working on that….I can assure you that you will get Medical Breakthrough 4 Massage Chair only..”
I have big doubt right now. anybody got the massage chair? called for refund?
I was told I would be receiving the knife and after my call with amazon they emailed me a $100 dollars of credit. We never discussed compensation on the call. I said I wanted the chair and that it is not right to pull the old bait and switch routine.
Got my utility knife today!
Called Amazon. They said they knew all about it, and were issuing a refund. Also said that they had many angry customers. I forgot to ask for a credit, and figured I’ll call back tomorrow.
Couple of hours later I check my email and see they gave me a $75 credit without me even asking for it. Just think of all the utility knives I can get for that!
So… I let this continue… and sure enough they said they delivered it today and it was a utility knife for which they charged my credit card $764.54. I called (no way I was going to chat or email on that one). took quite some time. They basically gave me a credit (offered gift card or refund to my credit card – I figured for that dollar amount… a refund was the way to go) and told me I can keep the knife. They did not offer any courtesy credit of any sort. I figure to see if one magically appears like others have had happen to them. If not… I will probably send them an email or a chat expressing my disturbance at this and seeing what that shakes up. It is actually extremely disturbing that with that much attention on the issue… it still went through and I had to call for a refund. I am sure Amazon corporate did not intend this… but it was fraud. The picture changed to a utility knife… but I clearly ordered a massage chair… with picture and all. The link to my order says… and has said for several weeks that this item was under review. That being the case… why did they ship it and charge my card?
Got the box cutter as well and now amazon actually wants me to ship this back to them for a refund. Colossal waste of time and energy, but hey, we all know the game.
also got the box cutter in the mail today. called and spoke to a supervisor but got nowhere.
she said all she could do was arrange for me to return the knife. I stood my ground and said I am not interested in a refund-I want the chair I paid for. she said not possible. also no bonus credit was offered to me. HOW CAN WE ALL GET TOGETHER ON THIS AND BE HEARD TO RESOLVE THIS EQUITABLY??
Any one?
Last week I told them I don’t want a refund I want the chair. They told me to give them a week to resolve it. They send me a $15 amazon credit. I called back today and she said she needs to credit me. I said no way do I want a credit. She transferred me to a supervisor and he offered me an additional $100 credit and will refund me the money. I said no but he refunded me anyway. I asked for a $150 credit and he gave it to me. So I got a total of $165 Amazon credit, but Mo recliner.
Just got my knife cutter. i will try to do what you did
And it gets worse…. You can buy it again for $666.
Utility Knives – Retractable Thin Snap-off Knife https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077561ZMM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Yvi2Bb3122B4R
They are now letting me do a return and replace item. trying that out and see what happens.
called, was refund & offered $20 compensation, got it up to $50 in the end.
Anyone complained to BBB/FTC?
