I apologize for my absence from my channel as of late. In July I became severely ill from black mold toxicity which ended up with us having to abandon our apartment and lose everything in the process down to the clothes on our back. I'm now settled in a new place but the neurological effects are still effecting me so going forward it will be a challenge to be as productive as I have been on this channel. The hope is that with time those effects will wear off but there is no time table and some don't recover. With that said if you'd like to help support not only the channel but my life consider using the links in the description to make your purchase. This is my sole income now and every dollar counts. Thank you.
My absolute biggest problem with this chair is, that when you recline the Armrests are pointing upwards... This way you cant recline and work on a keyboard the same time...
Hope you will recover soon. Mould is deadly. Thank you for the review of the Hinomi H1 Pro chair. I went to the showroom in Singapore to try the chair and it was a terrible experience, It is mind-bogglingly how bad the service was. I wanted to try the different chairs, the customer service person just stood there like a statue while we tried the chairs. He didn't bother explaining the different chairs' functions and was most unhelpful. All he did was tell us to order online??? Your review is Top-notch and you don't even work for Hinomi! I would never buy a Hinomi chair. I rather buy from OKAMURA or Herman Miller.
The adjustable armrests has me hooked. I found this video because this is what im looking for in a chair. Just wanted to find out if it was a pos or not. Ya never know. Appreciate the review
Thanks for the review. It’s hard trying to figure out which chair to buy without actually sitting in it but the return policy and ease of assembly might make me try it out.
The lumbar support is way to aggressive even at the lowest setting. Everyone I know who bought this chair returned it for the same reason. Hinomi will offer you 100$ to keep it if you ask to for a refund
Just got this chair and totally agree that the lumbar support is way too aggressive …who the hell designed this - I bet a lot of these chairs are returned due to this retarded design …. Tbh Id love a hack to fix this because I like the chair otherwise; also the headrest is a bit too forward even at its lowest setting … argh
i just tested the chair in a showroom in paris, and i really like the lumbar support, i like to be deep il my chair so it depends from a person to another, people have to test it
Hi there, thanks for the review! I noticed you still recommended the SecretLab as the best gaming chair. How do these two chairs compare? Do you have a favourite ergonomic chair? The SecretLab and the Hinomi seem to take different approaches to ergonomics.
They definitely take different approaches and it's hard to say which one may be best for you as everyone is different. I've tried everything from gaming chairs to Herman Miller Embodys and at the end of the day use my Secretlab as my daily seat. That doesn't mean it'll work for you though, I'd try dealing with a brand that offers a free return period if possible before trying chairs that make you pay return shipping.
Thanks for a nice and honest review. I've been thinking about new chair and desk for a while. There're these ethalons like Herman Miller but I keep on asking is somethink like Hinomi H1 Pro isn't actually enough.
I think it would be. Everyone is different so it's hard to know what's going to work for each individual. I tried a Logitech Embody a while back and even that chair with all it's endless positive reviews wasn't a keeper for me. Definitely go with a brand that offers a solid return policy just in case.
The lumber support is just way too firm and forward which hurt my back within minutes, even when getting up. I love everything else about this chair but I regret my purchase. I bought a soft gel cushion for the back to minimize the pressure of the lumbar support, hopefully this will fix it.
Hi I would like to check the neck support how it is. I really hate if it pushes your neck forward. I am short 5’2 and not sure if this will be a problem. It’s like in the plane, the seats are pushing your neck forward. If it does, can it be adjusted? And how? Thank you! Been searching for an ergonomic chair that I wanted to invest in.
Hi, could you tell me about the wheels? When you sit, does it lock (somewhat) the wheels. I have a hardwood floor that is slightly slanted (old building) and I don't want it to roll backwards when I sit in it
It doesn't lock but it doesn't roll easily either, I guess depending on how much of a slant we're talking any chair without locking rollerblade style wheels could be an issue
Hello, thank you so much for such a great review. I was just wondering if maybe you can give a suggestion about which size to get. My height is 510 so I’m right in the middle of either buying the standard or the taller version. Which one would you suggest?

Thanks for putting up this review.
Glad you found it helpful!

Thanks for watching!
@@JacobDarkOfficial will do.
I love the leg rest on my H1
Thanks for the review. It’s hard trying to figure out which chair to buy without actually sitting in it but the return policy and ease of assembly might make me try it out.
Definitely hard to know without trying, hope it works out for you!
Yo, you should check out the Backforce one Plus, would like to hear your oppinion, if u can get it in your country, cuz its from Germany

Yeah I understand what you mean. This is fixed by adjusting the height of the backrest. New chairs take a while for the body to get use to.
i just tested the chair in a showroom in paris, and i really like the lumbar support, i like to be deep il my chair so it depends from a person to another, people have to test it
So I should just hint that I want to return it and they'll offer me $100 back? Hmmm. So far, after 2 weeks, I really like the chair.
@@MitchSmith-l7c return it? It is easier said then done. To remove the chair from the gas piston is...well..hard
I had mine for about a year now, I find it very helpful with someone who suffers with L5 S1 disc problems.
Glad to hear it's working out for you, I share your disc issues, getting old is fun huh?
@@JacobDarkOfficial for reals
Ohhh this is a great comment. I have a herniated disk. So glad it has helped you!
This chair is horrible pls dont buy it i have big regresser
There is no warranty on the mesh and armrests 12 yrs on certain parts and 7yrs on others.

Secret lab? meh their desk is good, chairs? like sitting on a wooden chair..

Been really thinking about pulling the trigger on this. As a guitar player with rotator cuff tendonitis keeping good posture is a big concern for me!
Of all the office chairs I've tried I can absolutely recommend this one especially for your scenario. Bonus points should you use my link!
It's a good chair, I had mine for a year. Mind that the body will take a few weeks to get use to new seating position.
The lumber support is just way too firm and forward which hurt my back within minutes, even when getting up. I love everything else about this chair but I regret my purchase. I bought a soft gel cushion for the back to minimize the pressure of the lumbar support, hopefully this will fix it.
Thanks for the review. I was looking at this and the Sihoo Doro.

You can ajust the head rest in high in depth and rotate it, there is some video you can find in youtube
Seat too narrow, too bad. I don't understand this choice. It's one of the narrowest on the market! So stupid....
Developped in Singapore by asians, who for the majority are quite slim. Hence the design.

They seem to overlap right at the 5'10 range so I'd size up if it were me.
Nice video Jacob! Thanks man❤
What's that wallpaper shit's sick
I believe I just Googled Demon Slayer wallpaper or anime wallpaper to find it
can we take off the hand rests
yes
Two months later, are you still using this chair? Do you still recommend?
It's absolutely the chair I'd pick if looking for a mesh ergonomic chair. Should you decide to buy I'd appreciate it if you used my link!
