Disavantages

The disadvantages of electric tables are their weight, which makes them hard to move, and their higher price. Plus, they are mechanical devices with motors that can break down, requiring repair. So, make sure the table comes with a good warranty and a UL (Underwriter's Lab) approved motor.

Features

Most models have foot pedal controls that operate an electrically powered hydraulic lift to smoothly and quietly raise or lower the table. Some models also have a non-electric pneumatic-assisted lifting system.

Some electric tables are flat while others, often used in spas, have adjustable sections. You also have some of the same considerations that you have with a portable massage table:

• Choose a type of foam that's durable.
• Choose a table width that best fits you and the type of massage you offer.
• Understand the manufacturer's warranty and what it covers.

Other Considerations

If the electric table you buy is ADA (American Disability Act) compliant for safe wheelchair transfers, you may be able to take a tax credit.
