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: Let us get the warranty coverage out of the way first, so we can look at the more exciting elements like features and functions. What kind of warranty coverage do you get with this high end massage chair? Actually, you get solid coverage with 5 years on the structure or frame of the chair. Parts and Labor are covered for 3 years and in-home technician service is covered for 90 days. This compares favorably with the other manufacturers. Customer service is good and response times are relatively short. This massage recliner gets a 17 for warranty coverage.
Comfort & Ergonomics: Comfort is extremely important in the case of the 1650. This leather recliner is disguised as a massage chair. So if it is not comfortable to sit in, then it is a marketing disaster. Luckily, Human Touch has done its home work and has made this chair very comfortable. The material selection is fine grain leather that is nice to the touch. It has sufficient padding and the leg rest does not have any hint of a massage chair. Also, a pocket is used to store the remote and no remote holder is visible. Human Touch has done a great job with the 1650 and we give it a 19.
Ease of Use: Massage chairs have more functions and features every single year. It is vitally important that the chair is intuitive to use and not overly complicated. The HT 1650 comes with a two-sided, slim controller. The controls are laid out well and the functions buttons are actually on two faces of the controller. The massage functions are clearly labeled and most functions can be set up with one or two button pushes. This massage recliner gets a 19 in ease of use.
Key Features: The key feature of the HT-1650 is the fact that it looks like a regular leather recliner. The other key feature is 8 automatic massage programs. The 1650 has a patent protected flipping leg ottoman built into the chair. When you don't want a calf massage, you can hide it and it is concealed in the chair. When you are ready for a calf massage, you can flip it out and it's ready for use. Nice! Hidden inside this recliner are eight automatic massage programs that will soothe and relieve you. This chair gets an 18 for its key features.
Massage Therapy: The true test of this leather recliner is whether or not it delivers on the massage therapy side. Who wants a secret massage chair if it ends up being just a leather recliner! Rest assured, the HT 1650 is packed with massage treatments for your total wellness and relaxation. Try one of the 8 automatic programs with a variety of treatments to suit all sorts of situations. You can also select from 4 manual massage techniques. The calves and feet can be soothed with the hidden ottoman. Overall, we rate the massage therapy a 17 for this recliner.
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. - 15255
