Elite Vs Essence Pro

The Elite/V7 models have an innovative design, while the Essence system looks more like a traditional system with mast and arm.

Application

Overall Look

The Elite/V7 depends on the "ShiroPillow" cushion to funnel oil back into the lower bowl.  A massage table with 2 holes (for standard face cradle) is required.  The Essence is completely stand-alone, thus can be used with non-standard massage tables or beds.

Oil Control

The Elite/V7 is quite easy to lift and place into the passenger seat of a car (for example, for home treatments).  The Essence is more cumbersome to load into a car without disassembly. 

Portability

The Elite/V7 models depend on the "ShiroPillow" cushion to funnel oil back into the lower bowl.  The Essence uses an innovative "head hammock" that is extremely comfortable, prevents any pooling of oil under the head, and keeps the head facing up even if the client falls asleep.

Assembly

About 4 tablespoons of liquid remains in the Elite/V7 system after draining.  The Essence has a drain valve that allows all oil to flow out.

The Elite/V7 has minimal assembly steps for first use.  The Essence system has a more involved initial assembly (instructional video assists with this step).
