Product Review Of The Human Touch HT 1650 Massage Chair
The HT 1650 model manufactured by the human touch company is a massage chair which looks like a traditional recliner. In addition to raising the foot rest and lowering the chair back, the HT 1650 also has a number of massage functions. The HT 1650 has some unique features to enable it to look like a traditional recliner.
The HT 1650 comes with a functioning to detect your acupoints in your back. This is accomplished by performing a scan of your neck, shoulders and back. This function must be activated by selecting a manual massage function.
To perform the body scan, the remote control is used in switch into manual mode. The scan function can then be activated. It will make a path up and down your back to identify your unique act you pressure points. This information is then used to provide a custom massage based on your body readings.
The HT 1650 uses the acupoint detection system for acupressure massages such as shiatsu. These massage is stimulate the acupoints. These can be activated using the manual controls. You also must set your shoulder height manually each time you use the chair.
There are 8 programmed massages in the HT 1650. All of these massage programs provide a whole body massage. There are some specialized programs such as sports therapy and other more general like warming up. Each massage is designed to perform a different therapeutic treatment.
Human touch has also equipped the HT 1650 with four manual massage functions. These manual massage functions perform kneading, compression, rolling and percussion. Select the type of massage based on your needs. Kneading is great for listening up of muscles.
Another feature of the HT 1650 by human touch is being able to target the massage in a particular area. There are manual massage courses which can be selected to provide aid massage in a given area. You can also pinpoint massage in one specific area as well.
One of the nice features of the HT 1650 is that it comes with a hidden calf massager. The calf massager has leg wells to fit your legs inside. This provides for a soothing compression massage. The compression massage utilizes a squeezing and holding technique.
There leg rest adds greatly to the aesthetic appeal of the HT 1650. Most massage chairs have these large leg wells on the front. It is a nice design to be able to flip the leg well when it is not in use. This is a massage chair well heating and a recliner.
Human touch has developed a remote control with function buttons on two of the faces of the remote. This saves some space and allowed them to make a thinner control. This thinner remote control is also wired directly into the chair. There is no remote control stand, but a pocket is provided for storing the remote when it is not being used.
One of the areas of concern for me with this HT 1650 massage chair is the strength of the massage. Although there are many different techniques, many of them are to light to be effective for my taste. This can be a problem down the road. You want to make sure that any massage chair you purchasable provide a strong enough massage for the years to come.
Human touch provides warranty coverage of three years for parts on the HT 1650. You also get 90 days of in-home technician service. The warranty coverage of this massage recliner is fairly comprehensive.
The design of the HT 1650 is headed in the right direction. It is one of the few massage recliners which does not look like a typical massage chair. The main drawback on the aesthetics is that the chair looks very large. It is fairly comfortable to sit in and can compliment most rooms. If you are looking for a high-end massage recliner, then check this one out but make sure that it will meet your long term therapeutic needs.
