Ogawa
reviews and complaints

I emailed ogawa customer care on nov 28 and told them my disappointment that ogawa products can get obsolete. Consequently, the product I bought cannot be repaired.

I just want to let everyone knows that do not fall as a victim if any of their product get obsolete. They left with you with no alternatives but to only dispose it.

A shame on you, ogawa

Dear Sir

I purchased a OG-7598C-AI in China. They chair has gone faulty and I have tried the Chinese repair service but the service engineer had no clue what he was doing and without looking at the chair he said it needed a new 'engine'. He left without doing anything to the chair. The cost he quoted was 4000+ rmb for a new 'engine'.

When he left, I decided to investigate myself as the majority of the programmes work and everything moves so it cannot be the 'engine'.

There is a toothed drive shaft driving two toothed quadrants and the drive shaft and quadrants are no longer engaged. It would seem the drive shaft has driven the quadrants the wrong way.

Could you please advise if there is an English service centre that I could communicate with so I can ascertain how to get the mechanism back to its correct position.

Tremendously disappointed with the service. Bought the ogawa chair that is controlled by an app and the app suddenly disappeared from App Store. Sent the iPad to the store in Nov 2021 and they promised will return the iPad with newly installed app within two weeks to my house. However, received call after that saying that if they send to my house, they will need to charge me RM180. I compromised and said that i will collect it from the store instead.

However, it has been two months since I sent the iPad over. They finally called and said that I have to collect it from the factory in Klang instead. Or else, they will charge me RM180 for sending the iPad over. I really don’t understand why it takes 3 months to download an app and yet, they can’t commit to what they have promised the customers.

Bought the Chair on Dec 27th 2021, received the chair on Jan 18th.

I was really shocked the first time I used the massage chair as the hip airbag massage squeezed my hip shockingly too hard that I yelled from the pain. After that, in the middle of the night, I work up due to lower left and back and inner thigh pain but didnt know that it was due to the massage injury as I didnt know hip and back pain can also cause stomach and thigh pain at the same time. I visited Dr couple days later and went through couple tests but no infection or anything. After Back and Hip examination, I was told that I most likely have the pain from massage chair injury. I was shocked and stressed and I have to visit hospitals for more examinations to treat this so I contacted Ogawa Via email. They just said I can adjust the intensity of the airbag but I only used the default setting. How can a default setting be this strong to the level that injures someone like this? I am 5’4” 116 lbs. if someone bigger than me used this, they could be injured way more seriously. Not only that, one of the roller sometimes pops up hitting only one side of my hip which hurts alot and its abnormal. Also makes big noise when I first turn on the chair when the foot massager goes up. I don’t believe my chair is normal. I think this is defective as if this was normal, many people will be injured. The company did nothing other than telling me to adjust the level. How about the injury and pain I am going through right now? How about expenses for treatments? I spent $3400 just to be injured, stressed, and in pain and now spending more for injury.

Ogawa - Massage chair faulty
I email and called up to Ogawa Customer care Servicing Dept for my faulty massage chair with NO POWER (my massage chair is still under warranty), however, nobody pick up call ([protected]) that I called more that 20 times for 2 weeks.

I'm very disappointed and upset with Ogawa service Center. I will not recommend to my relative or friends to buy OGAWA product anymore.

Hi Sir,

I am a customer of Ogawa since 2014. At that time I invested in a RM15000 massage chair. EarlyNov 2021, realise that the leg massage was not working. I placed for technician to go over, there was no sound for almost 3 weeks. After 3 weeks I contacted again. My case no is CS065080. I received a call 24 Nov 2021 only to mention that Ogawa can send technician to my house with RM180 charges with no solution. It was mentioned that the chair model is not reproduced therefore there is no solution. I was forced to close the case because despite technician coming over, I was mentioned there would not be replacement parts.

So in short this is not a good after sales service. Actually I wanted to trade in the model to get 2 difference massage chair. And when I informed I wanted to buy 2 different model by trading in the current one I have., WA message keep flowing in to my handphone on which models I would prefer to buy.

I see clearly that this is very bad after sales service. I think what is important here is the service to the customer that will make them come back. It is not focusing on the sales! sales! sales.

I called up Ogawa Servicing Dept for my faulty massage chair with cracking sound (my product is still under warranty). However, the servicing dept scheduled me the repair in about 3 months' time. They told me that their schedules are tight and they are operating with only 2 servicemen.

I'm very disappointed and upset with Ogawa service Center. I would consider whether to continue using Ogawa product.

The product I purchased does not inflate anymore. There is no pressure. How to get it repaired?
I'm in Skudai, Johor, Malaysia.
Can you get me a contact number?
All your agents at the stores are rude and not helpful.
Worst experience with Ogawa.
Regret purchasing the things I did from Ogawa

Send with warranty but received without. Fyi I am loyal customer of ogawa. All health I purchase from ogawa. Pls advice tq. Hp, [protected]..cik manila did inform me about damage to product.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER.
Okay so I've been customer of Ogawa for ten years. I bought this Smart Galaxia on January of 2019.
It broke down on March of 2020 and I instantly made a call to the service center but it didn't reached because of mco I think. So I wrote an email to Ogawa's official email address and I didn't even get A SINGLE REPLY from them.
So I waited till April to make a call again. It was a Malay girl that picked up my call. She opened a file for my case. And I waited until JUNE, NOTHING HAPPENED.
And so I made a call to service centre once again, it was a Chinese girl that picked up my call. And Idk why she sounded so aggressive which made me more pissed of. She told me I didn't have any opened file in their system. So I opened a new one. AGAIN. She said they'll contact me, but no. No one calls, until today.
I got a message saying the technician will contact me but another 10days passed, I haven't even receive a single call from OGAWA.
It's been 4 months since my product broke down.
I hope you guys will contact me in this few days, or else I'll just post this on every social media because it's just so ridiculous.

My order no is SO30102003491. I bought a Spin Pro B1.5 Multi Purpose Bike from your Aeon Bukit Tinggi outlet on 22/9/19. (Sunday). The sales person said it would be delivered to me within the next few days. It is already Thursday but I have yet to receive my bike. How long do you need to deliver to your customers? Now I'm only hoping I will receive it by tomorrow otherwise I'll have to wait for another week. This is bad service as your salesperson couldn't fix an exact day of delivery. Ogawa is a known brand but you have to buck up on your service. I really hope you will deliver to me by tomorrow.

Hi,

Refer to my visit to your outlet on 18 September 2019 and case number CS039770.

1/ The case originally was under #CS039550 on 27 July 2019. The case number changed without my knowledge.
2/ I have not heard from your Ogawa One Utama outlet since due date 6 Aug 2019.
3/ I was not able to call your CS centre or email ( ibd-ogawa@ogawaworld.net is invalid as my email on 18 September was returned)
for many times. I wonder what kind of customer support Ogawa giving. How can I buy more item from Ogawa if there is lack of after sale service.
4/ Latest update on 18 September from Ogawa Utame - the item has been out from warehouse. But your outlet is not able to locate the item in the outlet. My item is officially LOST!
5/ I have lost 1.5 month of warranty period from due date 6 Aug 2019.

If the item is not able to locate by 20 Sep 2019, please compensate me with a new item.

Kind regards,
Tang

Hi.

My name is Mahathir Yusup. I just bought an Ogawa Master Drive Plus which has been delivered on the 27th June 2019.
The massage chair has been used no more than 5 times up till today, 5th July 2019.

When I switched on the Massage Chair today, the screen went blank with an error code 09. And then the roller started banging causing a very loud noise when it was switched on. This is very frustrating as the massage chair is NOT EVEN 1 WEEK old and already has this problem.

I tried switching it off and waited more than 30 minutes but still the screen was blank and the banging noise was still there. I attached here a video of the massage chair with the banging noise as a proof as well.

Please someone get back to me on this.

Super frustrated client,
Mahathir

ust had to rant about the worst customer experience I had with #ogawa. Hubby and i wasted the whole saturday at ogawa compass one with no original intention of buying a massage chair. We were chased up by the ogawa sales rep after our grocery shopping, promising to give us a good deal after we tried their massage chair at the exhibition on the first floor. The sales rep promised us a brand new piece of #nexposh unit at a very good price and we thought we will just pamper ourselves with the purchase. We handed him the credit card for payment which he charged immediately but the whole process took a very long time with the sales rep coming back with different suggestions and recommendations for other units?! We stood firm and said we will get what was promised. As we were waiting for the sales rep to write up our invoice, the other sales rep who was serving us at the exhibition barged into the shop and had a heated arguement with the sales rep in the shop, wanting to claim sales credit. I was terrified and felt very uncomfortable and wanted to just get the invoice and leave them to the fight. When we got home, we received a phone call from the exhibition rep asking us to go down and choose our demo unit. I told him we were promised a brand new unit and he hung up, saying he will check. I received another phone call later in the evening from the sales rep in the shop, claiming that he promised a demo unit. All through the sales process, hubby and me were told we will be getting a brand new unit! I was exasperated and called the customer service personnel. She was the worst customer service personnel ever who refused to let the GM speak to me upon request and said she handles everything that is customer related. She claimed miscommunication and insisted that we take the demo unit or go for refund. There was no customer service at all and even told hubby that he could go ahead to CASE or make a police report against the sales rep if we think we have been scammed! We were utterly disgusted and would advise everyone against purchase of any equipments from ogawa. It was an horrifying experience which no one should ever have to go through. The service is totally atrocious, not what you would expect if you were going to purchase any form of relaxation units. For peace of mind, i would advise all to avoid stepping into ogawa at all cost

Hello there my name marina binti othman and I would like write a complaint regarding my ogawa master drive set (og 7598). I bought the massage chair on 4/3/2017. Since the first day I bought the massage chair, immediately after a month I experienced a problem pertaining to the massage's chair leg rest. Apparently the leg rest wasn't able to extend during usage. The second problem I experienced with the massage chair (5th december 2017), the pad control (touch screen menu) was not working. And then on 15th february 2018, the airbag on the left was broken. Recently this month itself, the right side of the airbag was broken (sound of air coming out from it). So i've been experiencing all of these problems since the day one and it hasn't been giving me a peace of mind. Now the massage chair is out of warranty and I am not able to reclaim the damage. I am disappointed with this as the massage chair that I bought is from ogawa, a well known massage chair company and it is giving problems that weren't suppose to occur. As a consumer, I am unsatisfied with what I am going through with this massage chair. I hope there will be some sort of compensation from your side and will give a thorough check on my massage chair to rectify the problem. I paid almost 20k for the massage chair and I really hope you could do something about this! My expectation on the massage chair's quality build is really frustrating and the sales after service is horrible. I am expecting a fast reply regarding this so that it can be solved asap. Tqvm

For those thinking of buying Ogawa massage chair, this is what you will see/get after two years (see photos).

Ogawa reason: 'Allow us to share that during massage, friction and abrasion against the upholstery is inevitable with the moving mechanism. With this, the management is not able to view the situation as manufacture defect as many other factors might contributed to the wear and tear of the upholstery during the course / years of usage.'

However, from my pictures, some areas are not even near any mechanism.

What's more, upholstery will cost $840 and it takes 5-6 months of shipment.

The cushion cover quality is questionable. Started peeling off after few years. My 2nd generation model demonstrated more reliable. I have been a Ogawa supporter for ovr 10yrs. I hv 2 numbers of massage chair at home. Now I m doubtful whether I will buy another Ogawa ? The 2nd seies also hv bad air bags tht need quite frequent replacement. The brown grey photo is d 2nd series of d Ogawa massage chair. The synthetic letter quality is far more better than d Zero gravity series.
Plis take my feed bk serioysly. Tqvm
