We will present a review and evaluation of the HT 1650 massage recliner by Human Touch. This is a full size recliner that converts into a massage recliner. This is a luxury massage chair with many therapeutic massage functions. This review will go through the main functions of the chair and also present the warranty coverage for your consideration.
The warranty coverage is important to remove risk away from the buyer and keep it with the manufacturer. After all, you the consumer are taking a risk any time you buy a product. The idea of a warranty is to balance out the risk equation. Massage chairs consist of both mechanical, electrical and computer systems. We always recommend going with the top name brands to avoid taking undue risk with these big ticket items. Certainly, one can find cheaper massage chairs, but you are also taking much greater risks.
Although, are incidence of problem massage chairs is very low in percentage terms. However, if it happens to you it is 100%. The HT 1650 comes with 5 year coverage on the chair’s structure, 3 years coverage for parts and 1 year coverage for labor and 90 days coverage with field service. This is good, comprehensive coverage with this luxury model and is competitive with the big players.
Human Touch provides an arsenal of automatic programs in the HT-1650 such as full body sore muscle relief, sports and back therapy, leg- foot-hip therapy, neck-shoulders relief, after work stretch, morning wake up, night time soothing, and massage demonstration. There are also 4 manual massage treatments with the following: rolling, compression, kneading and percussion. You can pinpoint certain regions of you back to hit those trouble areas as well.
One interesting feature of the HT 1650 is the acupressure point detector. The acupessure point detector works by performing a body scan of your back. There are almost 100 acupressure points on the back alone. This chair will identify the exact location of you points and then will have the chair target the most important ones during the massage. Certain massage treatments, like shiatsu, make use of stimulating the acupressure points to help the body to fully relax.
Human Touch has designed this massage recliner to look just like a normal recliner. To do that, they have a unique calf massager. The calf massage is actually hidden in the leg rest and can be flipped over. When you flip it over, then the leg wells where you can place your legs is visible. However, when not in use, you can flip it back and it looks like a normal recliner. This enables you to put this massage chair recliner in virtually any room in your house.
If you come home with tired or aching feet, then just flip the leg rest over and enjoy a soothing compression massage. The HT 1650 comes with an air massage system that allows you to target your calves and feet. Just place you feet in the leg rest wells and let the airbags gently or firmly squeeze the tension out of your feet. Relief is just a push of a button away.
One of the impressive features of the HT 1650 is the two sided remote. This unique remote has controls of two of the four sides. This enabled Human Touch to reduce the size of the remote by taking advantage of this remote real estate. With a smaller remote, the remote stand was then removed. In its place is a pocket built into the chair to house the remote control. This is a great design feature which keeps this recliner looking like a recliner–rather than your typical massage chair.
