Kyota | Nokori M980 Syner-D Refurbished
This listing is a refurbished Kyota Nokori M980, the flagship massage chair of the range. Pre-owned is the least expensive way into it. Refurbished here means a used chair, inspected before it ships. Recovery For Athletes holds the cover, and the price drops from flagship money. Nothing mechanical changes, and two roller mechanisms still move the backrest together under the name Syner-D. They travel a J-Track, a rail shaped like an L that lifts at the bottom to stretch you. Intensity runs across nine steps from a touch screen tablet. The chair weighs 363 lbs. and fits users 5 ft 2 in. to 6 ft 4 in.
The two mechanisms are the whole argument for this chair. One unit has to cover the neck, the spine and the glutes on its own pass. On the Nokori a second unit shares the backrest, and between them they run 2D, 3D and 4D movement. The J-Track under them lifts at the bottom, so the stroke stretches the back as well as covering it. At 363 lbs. this is the heaviest chair Kyota builds, and a refurbished one weighs the same. TrueFit body scanning measures the back at the start of a session, so the rollers sit to its shape. Complete Calf kneading and oscillation works the calf wells, and three shiatsu rollers sit under each foot for Total Sole Reflexology. Lumbar Heat warms the panel in the lower back. Chromotherapy lighting runs coloured LEDs, a wireless charging pad sits on the armrest, and an Integrated Air Ionizer comes as standard. Weightless Zero Gravity Recline raises the knees to roughly chest level, and Zero Wall Fit slides the seat forward as the backrest goes down. The chair stands 50 in. tall and 31.88 in. across the front, with an 18 in. seat depth and 20.5 in. of shoulder room.
The flagship hardware
None of these is optional and none of them is unique to a new unit. They are also most of the reason the M980 weighs 363 lbs.
The count
A refurbished M980 arrives with the full fitment. All of it is factory equipment on the model.
Closer look
Most chairs in the Kyota range put one mechanism in the backrest. The M980 puts in two and choreographs them to run together on a J-Track, which is where the Syner-D name comes from and where a good part of the 363 lbs. goes. The two carry 2D, 3D and 4D movement between them, and the track underneath holds the rollers against the body from the neck and shoulders down to the glutes.
The M980 is run from a touch screen tablet on a mounting arm at the side of the seat. The manual settings on it hand over control of where the rollers go and how hard they work, across a scale of 1 to 9. A quick access control panel and joystick are built into the armrest for the times when the tablet is more menu than the moment needs.
The M980 is narrower than its weight suggests at 31.88 in. across the front, and it stands 50 in. tall upright. Reclined it wants 62.99 in. of depth. The weight is the figure that catches people out, because 363 lbs. of chair has to travel from the curb to the room it will stay in, and that route is worth walking before the truck books a window.
Compare
Condition and price are the whole of the difference between a refurbished M980 and a new one. The refurbished Kokoro M888 alongside them does a similar job with a single 4D mechanism on a track of the same family.

"Great savings on the refurbished chair. Took a while to arrive and the customer service representatives assured me that it would eventually ship and the order had already been handed off to the manufacturer. But it eventually did ship and the tracking information provided was responsive and my wait was almost over. When it came to delivery, I had some difficulty with the contracted delivery company but a call to Recovery For Athletes solved everything. I honestly didn’t think it would since the delivery company made it seem like I was completely out of luck. The Recovery For Athletes representative calmly reassured me not to worry, apologized for the hassle, and assured that everything would be taken care of and I didn’t need to do anything but sit back and relax and wait for my chair. Sure enough, I got a call for the delivery company the very next day and a day later, I’ve been in massage heaven every since!! Thank you so much Recovery for Athletes!!! I highly recommend them without reservation. Wait times can be longer than expected (probably because I ordered a refurbished chair) but the savings are tremendous, white glove delivery is included, and the grade A refurbished chair I order is indistinguishable from a brand new one to my eyes!!! (Note: The picture I included is after 1 month of use by me already and I put the foots pads away. When it arrived, it was brand spanking new, still with the new chair smell!)"
"I love our new massage chair."
