Luraco i11 vs i9 Max Plus: What Changed and Which to Buy
Short answer: the Luraco i11 keeps the i9 Max Plus's back massage (the same patented Split L-Track and 3D Butterfly rollers) and rebuilds the lower half of the chair. If calves, knees or legs are part of why you want a massage chair, choose the i11. If your tension is mostly in your neck, shoulders and back, the i9 Max Plus gives you the same core back massage while it's still available.

The editions changed too
The i11 Billionaire Edition is $24,990 and the i11 Royal Edition is $29,990, well below the i9 versions of those editions. If you were looking at a top-edition i9, look at the i11 first.
Why is there no i10?
Luraco counts the Model 3 Hybrid SL as the 10th generation of its chairs, so the next flagship after the i9 became the i11.
Who should still buy the i9 Max Plus?
- You want the Luraco back massage and don't care about calf or knee features.
- You're over 6'9" but under 300 lbs (the i9 is rated to 6'10").
- You want a chair sooner than the i11's first production run (subject to Luraco stock).
