Autonomous ErgoChair 2 Review: 1 Year Later

[@ShevonSalmon]

Autonomous Ergo Chair Pro/2: rb.gy/9jqxtz Use code “SHEVON8OFF”

[@soulpath1]

Hey how has the seat cushion hold up? Did you notice the cushion formed an indentation or softening for where your body pushes into the seat cushion? Or is it still completely uniform as when it was new?

[@Bistroboys]

Great review. Bought one

[@kylorenzo]

“Only thing that has broken is the arm rest, not sure if you can see it” *is holding up literally the entire arm* I’m crying lmao. Thanks for the honest and informative review!

[@Aliothale]

Bought one of these in September after I watched your first review. 4 months in and I've still had no issues, but I have to say this is not a chair made for anyone over 6'3 and 215lbs. At 6'1 and 185 I feel like if I was any taller or any heavier then I wouldn't like this chair. The seat cushion is a bit mediocre but gets the job done. I recommend getting a Large Xtreme Comforts cushion with the handle on it off Amazon for ($40).. it's like sitting on a cloud.. SOOO much better now. Also got a Mind Reader foot rest (FTLINE $20) for it as well that has tilt capabilities. 12 hour sittings are no longer a pain in my butt or back.. literally. Easily the best $400 USD you can spend for a proper chair setup. Thanks for the follow up video!

[@callmepirk2946]

Alio, you saved this chair for me my guy. Purchased the cushion and footrest and wow, different chair now. I’m 5’10” 205lbs and the chair was a literal pain in the butt. Thanks!

[@Aliothale]

@@callmepirk2946 No problem my dude, glad I could help! It was a definite game changer for sitting in this chair for many hours of the day.

[@wah789]

Curious, how do you use the cushion together with the chair Do you put it on the Ergochair 2.0's original cushion? Or did you rip it off then replace it with this Xtreme cushion thing

[@Aliothale]

@@wah789 Goes on top of the original cushion. Covers the whole thing perfectly.

[@NinjaTONZ]

lmao take in I was just watching your first Ergo Chair 2 Review like 2 days ago an now you posted another one, pretty convenient

[@TheCL296]

There have been some negative feedback on this chair recently and that made me skeptical. I found one used on Facebook that looked pretty much new for half the price and went for it. I have to say, I was very impressed with how well it fit me. I’m 5’9” with a longer torso and it’s hard for me to find a chair that fits just right. If you know how to properly adjust a chair, you will be feeling great after just one day of using this thing. My only gripe is that it does not have a backward seat tilt. The chair only tilts forward and locks in the end range of tilt (aka there is no slight tilt, only full or no tilt). I’m not sure why anyone would even want to do that. Anyways, I paid 180 for the chair and I’m really glad that I did. Even for 360ish new, you can’t really get much better than this. It is a trusted brand with recognized quality. You will be looking at Herman miller’s beyond the ergochair 2 and those are in the thousands...if anyone is thinking about getting this, trust me when I tell you to go ahead and pull the trigger when you are ready. A chair should not be something to skimp on.

[@ShevonSalmon]

I love your honesty here

[@JustSomeDude31]

Glad you liked it, I tested this chair and although it sat pretty good, the build quality was questionable, and it was kinda shaky. However it is an improvement over all "gaming chairs" out there, cause those upright suck. I'm still deciding if i dish out about 320 euros for this exact same chair from another brand or take it up a notch and go for a Uplift Pursuit chair (from an european brand ) which will cost almost double XD but im not sure on the build quality of that one. And build quality and thus longevity is what i'm looking for as well.

[@Tonycaveman]

360ish? This chair is like 600.@@JustSomeDude31

[@JustSomeDude31]

@@Tonycaveman I bought this chair for 280 euros. So if you paid 600 that's too bad for you. I'm sad about this chair though. It's not worth the money. Sitting on it for 1,5+ years I came to the conclusion that gaming chairs are even better. But I guess opinions may differ.

[@Tonycaveman]

@@JustSomeDude31 I haven't bought it. Am looking at black friday sales and this one caught my eye but even with black friday discounts it's still 480€ . Tbh, I prefer trying out a chair before I buy it, so will end up probably buying a generic "executive" type chair at Staples or something.

[@bryanz9359]

Man, I was stuck between this and the myo chair for the longest time

[@danielvillada4428]

Best chair I've ever owned, glad I made this purchase. I have 2 buldging disks on my lower back, the adjustability and back support has helped. Also with the seat leaning forward feature, it has taken alot of pressure off my lower back. Life changing chair. I have had this chair for 1 year and its holding up very well. no issues. My only complaint is that when fully reclined, you cant fully rest your arms on the arm rests, I fixed this by reversing the arm rests, so the right is on the left, left on right side. This way the longer side of the arm rest is now facing the back, you can use them as normal. Sitting upright you still have enough surface area on the arm rest to use it like normal.

[@terryli5953]

[@Aliothale]

@@Nomafternoon I dont sweat in it at all, the lumbar supports pretty solid as well and I don't have any complaints there. I'd still recommend upgrading to a better seat cushion for long term use, the foot rest helps as well.

@@BromancerofDoom u can find this chair for 100usd on Alibaba, so tell me whoes getting ripped off. And Herman miller and brands like steelcase have actual quality and well designed ergonomics with 12 year warranties and definitely not "gaming chairs". I know you feel salty that u just spent 499 dollars for a crap chair, but just face the facts that u didn't research properly. With that money you could have gotten a much better chair like the steelcase series 2 that's much better built and more ergonomic. Not to say it's from steelcase, a reputable company compared to half ass shit like autonomous.

[@cristianchan314]

Great review! can i ask what's your height?

If the armrests would lock into the position you want, and the chair could lift a bit higher(only 5cm....), i would def try this out. but those two things are kinda deal breaker to me. looks comfy otherwise.

"Full disclosure, Autonomus didn't sponsor this video" guess what...Autonomus didn't even make that chair, they buy it from a factory and just rebrand it for a higher price than what it sells normally...

It's still their brand. Just like what every company does.

@@ShevonSalmon No and no actually. It's not their brand, it's a chineese chair that sells under many different brands for different prices and no, it's not what every company does, it is however something that many chair companies do but not what they all do. Also it's shady in case you haven't picked up on it yet. Having said all that, it's an ok chair that one could buy for a lot cheaper than what Autonomus sells it for.

@@Aliothale May be you also know how to fix that annoying rocking/play in mechanism? If feels like its gonna break eventually. This chair costs like $100-$150 on Alibaba. Its not the worst chair on planet but it is definitely not worth $400. And chairs in such a price range should not require any additional paddings and stuff. I put a padding on my kitchen chair and it feels better than this Ergo2 cement board. Like with many Chinese inventions they try to impress people with looks by creating robot looking items but do not really pay attention to quality and functionality.

[@Aliothale]

@@ridelive6249 My chair doesn't have any wobble or rocking so can't help you their, try tightening your screws? The chinese knock offs are not the same, I've seen and sat on them in person.. and they have ALOT of cheaper components on them. They come from the same manufacturer, but the company can choose the quality of materials. I agree you shouldnt have to get a seat cushion, but it's pretty typical for someone who sits in their chair for work/gaming to have one.

[@zclaus9642]

You are not being paid by Autonomous but are receiving money from Autonomous for every chair purchased with the affiliate code. Some might say that's the definition of being paid

[@ShevonSalmon]

The affiliate code doesn't do anything, that's just for you guys. I only get a commission if you use the link in the description and then buy a chair right away. I had to option to sign up in the affiliate program by having a code that will only get me a commission and no discount for you guys. Or having a code for you guys and the affiliate link for me which would give me 5% commission. So if I really wanted to get paid I would have just made the code only for me and not for the viewers. That means if you click the link and not decide to buy the chair today and then go on the website tomorrow and buy with the code "shevon" I will not make any money from it. Just thought I would clear that up. There's no point putting money before my credibility. It's not the smartest thing to do in the long run.
