The HT1650 massage chair recliner is one of the top of the line Human Touch massage loungers on the market today. We will put the HT 1650 through an evaluation in five key areas. We will give it a rating in each and sum up the total. Check out how this truly unique massage chair stacks up.
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: It is particularly important for a massage chair to be comfortable and fit your body. You need to be able to relax. The HT 1650 is both a recliner and a massage chair. When not being used as a massage chair, it looks just like a regular leather recliner chair. It has soft, luxurious leather which is a big plus. The layout of the massage recliner and its functions are well designed and thought out. The controller fits in a side pocket, so there is not a remote stand. We rate the comfort and ergonomics of the HT 1650 a 19.
Ease of Use: The ease of use is becoming more important as the rate of features is increasing. Manufacturers must make these types of chairs simple and easy to use for consumers. Human Touch has gotten this message. In fact one of the innovative features of their remote is the use of two sides of it for controls. This enables the remote to remain small and yet be functional. The other feature is the flipping ottoman which has the calf massager. This is relatively easy to flip over and use. The HT-1650 earns a 19 in ease of use.
Key Features: There are two really outstanding features with the HT 1650. The first is acupoint detection system and the second is the hidden calf massager. Did you know your back has almost 100 acupressure points? Don’t worry, the 1650 will scan your back and target the most important ones for your complete relaxation. The secret with this recliner is the hidden calf massager. Without this feature, it would be another massage chair, but instead it is a leather recliner with massage capabilities. The key is the technique used to hide the calf massager so it is only revealed when you want a massage. The key features earn it an 18 with this leather recliner.
Massage Therapy: The massage therapy is the most important element of the massage chair. With the HT 1650 you get the following massage possibilities: 4 manual massage functions and 8 automatic massage programs. The manual massage functions include: rolling, compression, kneading and percussion. The 8 automatic programs include: 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. These 12 treatments give you a wide range of options to hit all the areas and trouble spots you may have. The calf and foot massager provides a compression massage. You can target either the feet or calves. The air compression massage works by performing a squeeze, hold and release movement. This massage is very effective in removing tightness in the calves and feet. The HT-1650 earns a 17 in massage therapy.
So how does the HT1650 rate overall in this product review? In summing up the scores we rate the HT-1650 a 90/100. The massage therapy is pretty effective in this massage chair. We really like the fact that it is a massage chair in disguise. This enables you to place it in almost any room in the house. The remote is a nice slim design and tucks away into a pocket rather having a remote stand. If you are looking for a massage chair that does not look like one, then this is certainly the massage chair recliner for you.
