Review About The Human Touch HT1650 Massage Chair

Human Touch is known for its innovative designs and effective massage therapies in its product line. This is a review of perhaps one of the most unique massage chairs on the market today, the HT-1650 massage recliner. This is a massage chair disguised as a leather recliner. We will make an evaluation of five relevant areas of a massage lounger and assign a rating in points. Let us take a look at the unique HT 1650 massage recliner.

Warranty & Customer Service: Your long term product protection is a function of the length and breadth of the warranty on the product you buy. Big ticket items like a massage chair need to have adequate coverage to offset the money you are paying. The HT 1650 comes with the following warranty coverage: you get 5 years on the structure; you get 3 years for parts; you get 1 year of labor (factory service) and in field service is covered for 90 days. The warranty coverage provided by Human Touch for this luxury massage recliner is fairly good. Customer service is through a national call center and they are pretty responsive. We give the HT1650 a 17 in warranty coverage and customer service.

Comfort & Ergonomics: This massage chair is designed as a leather recliner, so it needs to be comfortable or it will not meet its use parameter. Human Touch has put some effort into this massage recliner to make it as much like a leather recliner as possible. The choice of leather material is soft, yet durable. All functions are contained in the slimly designed remote. The remote tucks away in a pocket which removes the sometimes unsightly remote control stand. Overall we give the 1650 a 19 in comfort and ergonomics.

Ease of Use: I don’t know about you, but I have always struggled trying to program my VCR. Thank goodness Tivo has finally saved me. We are critically concerned with the ease of use with massage chairs. These chairs increase in features and functionalities every year. The challenge is to keep it simple. We are happy to announce that the HT1650 has managed this. It has a remote that uses two different faces for buttons. This keeps it small and easy to hide in the side pocket. We give the 1650 a total of 19 out of 20 for ease of use.

Key Features: One of the unique features and a patented one is the hidden calf and foot massager. When not in use, you cannot see the calf and foot massage. When you want to use it, you simply flip it over and it exposes the calf wells. This is a great feature in that the massage chair looks like a regular leather upholstery recliner. The other interesting feature is the acupoint detection system. This can be used prior to using a manual massage function. When activated, it will scan your back and determine the almost 100 trigger points. It records their location and then prioritizes them when the massage begins. This acupoint detection enables the chair to zero in on these points to provide you full body relaxation. We give the key features of the HT-1650 an 18.

Massage Therapy: The moment of truth with any massage chair is how effective is the massage therapy? We were very skeptical with this chair because it does not look like your traditional massage chair. In fact, it looks like your traditional leather recliner. However, Human Touch manages to squeeze in 8 automatic pre-programs. These range in intensity and vigor depending on the one selected. There are also manual techniques. Four in all. This gives you quite a selection to meet many needs you may have. Do not forget that the hidden calf massager works both for your feet and your calves. The HT 1650 gets a 17 in this category.

OK, so here it is, the HT-1650 earns a 90 out of a possible 100 points. This non-traditional massage chair is definitely your traditional leather recliner. You can count on a great selection of massage treatments between the automatic and the manual programs. This recliner also does your calves and feet, so you get almost full body coverage. The unique calf massager allows this massage chair to be placed in virtually any room. With this massage chair you can have your cake and eat it too.
