Product reviews need to be informative. Usually a structured approach to evaluation provides better consistency. We employ a 5 category equal weight system to evaluate a massage chair. A category can earn between 0 to 20 points. The points earned in each category are added together giving a total score. The massage chair is evaluated in the following categories: Warranty & Customer Service, Comfort/Ergonomics, Ease of Use, Features and Massage Therapy. The discipline of systematic approach balances the review and provides for more facts. We take a close look at the M-2 Orion Massage Chair by Omega that comes in the price range of $1,500 and under.

Warranty & Customer Service: Warranty and customer service comes from the manufacturer of the massage chair. Warranty is important, since it protects the customer in the workmanship of the product. The other side of this is customer service. Customer service must solve issues one may have. With the M-2 Orion, Omega Massage covers 1 year on the frame, 6 months on parts, and 6 months labor and shipping for 6 months. For an entry level massage chair, Omega provides the most comprehensive warranty and exceeds the other manufacturers in this category. With the M-2 Orion, Omega provides strong warranty coverage. Now on the customer service side, Omega overall is responsive and competent. They have quick turnaround times when issues do arise. The M-2 Orion is an 18 in Warranty & Customer.

Comfort & Ergonomics: This category is about how well the massage chair is designed with comfort and fit to your body. These elements are important keys to relaxing while in the chair. The Orion is fairly ergonomic in design. The side arm pads are fully padded and plush. They provide a back pad and a shoulder pillow which is detachable. The chair?s angle of recliner is from 115 degrees to 170 degrees. This is a great range for an entry level chair. The leg rest has a 4 inches extension range. This is good to accommodate taller people and to position the calf massager anywhere on your legs. We give the M-2 a 17 in this category.

Ease of Use: With so much technology being built into massage chairs today, ease of use is a critical concern. If a device is overly complicated, those features just will not get used. This is just a design challenge. The M-2 is well designed and the remote control is simple and easy to use. The remote allows you to choose either automatic or manual massages. Select a manual massage and focus it on a particular part of the back. The manual adjustment levers for the backrest and leg rest are easy to find and use. There is a convenient remote holder underneath the armrest to store the remote when not needed. We give the Omega Orion a 19 for ease of use.

Key Features: The key features of the Orion M-2 massage chair are the swaying massage technique and the seat massage. The Hawaiian or Swaying massage uses gentle flowing strokes to ease and elongate the back muscles. The Swaying massage starts to penetrate deeper into the muscles as it works up and down the spine. This is an effective massage to relax tight muscles. The seat massage has both vibration therapy and an eight massage head system. These rotary massage heads target the buttocks and thighs with a very invigorating massage. Add the vibration therapy and watch the aches and pains melt away from your buttocks and thighs. We give the M-2 Orion an 18 for key features.

Massage Therapy: Just how good is the massage therapy delivered by the massage chair? The M-2 comes with 3 automatic massages. These are timed massages of 5, 10 or 15 minutes. Select from 3 manual massages and select a region of your back with 3 back courses. The M2 has strong manual massages including Kneading, Swaying and Finger Press. The seat massage is very invigorating. It has eight rotary massage heads and a vibration system for the seat. The leg rest has a mechanical kneading system to soothe the legs. With the extendable leg rest, target your thighs, knees or calves. This is a very effective massage chair for its price category. This massage recliner earns an 18 for massage therapy.

How does the Omega M-2 Orion stack up? Overall, our rating of the Omega M-2 Orion is a 90/100. Omega puts some high value features into this entry level massage chair. The swaying massage and the thorough seat massage is a great therapeutic package. The M-2 provides very good strength for effective relief. Omega provides strong warranty protection for the investment in the M-2. This massage recliner comes in a The Orion is a hidden gem. If you are looking for an entry level whole body massage chair, the M-2 Orion is it.

In 2004, Nintendo produced Nintendo DS, a handheld game console which most prominent feature is the two-tiered screens, the bottom half of which acts as a touch-screen. Other features include a built-in microphone, backward compatibility with the Game Boy Advance games and wifi-support system.

The system is outstanding, but with the appearance of other sleek and handy gadgets such as Sony’s PSP and Apple’s iPod, the defect in Nintendo DS has become more prominent: its unsightly bulky design.

When the new model of the DS appeared in 2006, Nintendo has cleared out this fault. The Nintendo DS Lite has a smooth and compact appearance, making it look a whole lot elegant than the original DS. It is 21% lighter at 218 g and has 42% less volume with the dimensions of 133 mm 73.9 mm 21.5 mm. It still retained the clam-shell form, and basically the same features, but there are more positive modifications done for the DS Lite.

The same 3-inch LCD (liquid crystal display) screens have been equipped with four brightness-level setting, the lowest of which is twice brighter than that of the DS’ screen. The graphics are much vivid and the images are sharper than before. Battery life has also been extended. With full three-hour charged battery packs and brightness set at its lowest level, the battery will last fifteen to nineteen hours. At its brightest setting, the battery pack will last a good five to eight hours of play time. The stylus has been made larger both in length and diameter, making it much easier to hold. The stylus is side-loaded next to the power switch for trouble-free access.

The built-in microphone has been transferred in the middle hinge, between the top and bottom screens while the Start/Select buttons are relocated under A/B/X/Y. The other buttons have been made smaller too. The speakers, found at the top half of the clam-shell figure, produce the same excellent audio and virtual surround sound (depends on the software) despite its size.

The backwards compatibility enables players to use Game Boy Advance cartridges on the DS Lite. The Game Boy Advance cartridge slot is now found at the bottom of the console, covered to avoid foreign matters from getting in. Because the DS Lite is smaller, the game carts stick out of the slot by about 1cm, but this will not be affecting your game play. The backward compatibility also meant you have access to the vast archives of games Nintendo had ever produced, including the classic Mario games, the Zelda series and even Donkey-Kong.

DS Lite also has wifi-capabilities as the original DS, enabling the users to connect online either through a wireless router or via free wifi-access zones. The wireless technology also allows users to connect and play with other players within a local network.

The wonderful thing is, despite the many improvements made, the price had barely changed from the older model, having the suggested retail price of US $129 and 99.99 in the UK.

With the success of Nintendo DS Lite, Nintendo (known for constantly re-designing its products) has definitely done it again and impressively so, at that. From the huge collection of game titles accessible, to the innovative, easy-to-use touch-screen technology, the Nintendo DS Lite is certainly worth putting your money into.

This review takes an in-depth look at the Prestigio OM-510 shiatsu massage chair made by Omega Massage, Inc. Omega Massage, Inc is known for its state of the art design, striking aesthetics and advanced technology. The Prestigio OM-510 was first released in January 2006. It is a midrange model in the $2,000 to $3,000 price range.

First, we should look at the manufacturer, since if there is a problem down the road, you want to make sure you will be taken care of, if the need should arise. Make sure you go with a reputable manufacturer and one that has distribution to retailers. Omega has national retail accounts and has comprehensive warranty coverage for the Prestigio massage chair. Our experience with Omega is any problems are resolved quickly and efficiently.

Omega Massage has strong warranty coverage, in fact one of the best in the industry. The Prestigio OM-510 massage chair is covered with 5 years on the frame, 3 years parts, 3 years labor, 1 year shipping and 90 days in-home service. This comprehensive coverage comes standard with the Omega shiatsu massage chair line. Other companies force you to buy extended warranties to get the same coverage as Omega Massage. As a consumer, it is important to get adequate protection on an investment of this size for a massage chair recliner.

The Prestigio OM-510 shiatsu massage chair is chic, with its highly varnished wood armrests and leg footer silver accents. This is perhaps the most attractive massage chair on the market today. Many massage chairs may be functional, but they come in unattractive designs and cheap plastic side panels. Omega is famous for its striking massage chair designs. The Prestigio is a fantastic example of their design prowess. Omega also made the OM-510 comfortable with a removable back cover. There are two detachable head pillows and an extra back pad. Omega also includes a beautiful wood side table as a nice compliment to round out this massage chair recliner.

The Omega Prestigio massage chair has 3 timed, automatic massages from 10, 20 and 30 minutes. Manual massage functions include tapping, rolling, kneading, and Shiatsu, or combinations of all 4 massage functions in automatic mode. To cover your back, select from 4 back courses and select the manual massage technique for the back. The Prestigio has manual courses for the upper back, the lower back, the full back and it can also pinpoint a specific location. One strong point with the Prestigio massage chair is it really covers the lower back or lumbar area. Most shiatsu massage chairs stop short here, but the Prestigio gets the lumbar area better than any chair.

One unique feature of the Prestigio shiatsu massage chair is the Knee Stretch Technology. The Prestigio energizes the air system to hold the feet and calves. The footrest will raise slightly and will then gently stretch the ankle, knee joints, thigh and calf muscles. This helps improve range of motion and joint mobility of your knees. The Prestigio has an air massage system for the lower body to cover the feet, calves, thigh and buttocks. In manual mode, select just one area to focus upon or increase or decrease the air pressure to suit your needs. The lower body massage on the Prestigio massage chair recliner is thorough and helps to relieve tension, soreness, aches and pains.

Do you enjoy a reflexology foot massage? The Prestigio massage chair comes with reflexology points built into the foot wells. A reflexology massage helps relaxation and stress relief via the reflexology points in the feet. This specially designed massage chair provides soothing relief to tired and aching feet. Kick off your shoes and place those tired, aching feet inside and let the days tensions melt away. The Prestigio OM-510 by Omega Massage is the best massage chair in the midrange. The Prestigio delivers relaxing and invigorating full body massages. The Prestigio is backed by the most comprehensive warranty. The OM-510 has advanced features like the Knee Stretch Technology and the Reflexology foot massage. This shiatsu massage chair is one of our top sellers.

After watching what professional dog trainers can achieve, I went in search of a reference which I could use to work with my best friend. I finally settled on the Sit Stay Fetch manual which proved to be an excellent resource and outstanding value. I will outline the material covered and methods taught in the following paragraphs.

This manual is just full of excellent information. How to choose the right dog for your family, where to find him or her, how to get your home ready for this new family member, how to deal with behavior problems, how to house train your new friend, what are the health issues that you need to be concerned about, and what are some advanced tricks that we can work on ? All of the above are covered in good detail, to help you make the right choices and decisions.

The newest dog training techniques, including dog whispering are included. In fact, there is a complete section on dog whispering, a method based on using voice and body language to train your pet. Step by step instructions are present for the standard commands, such as sit, come, down., stay etc. It is truly amazing to see what can be accomplished by this system by using clear communication and mutual respect. Apart from the basic commands, it can also be effectively used to correct behavior and discipline when required. This section alone is worth the low purchase price.

You also get a handful of practical freebies: four bonus books, dealing respectively with advanced house training how-tos and troubleshooting (including both the crate- and paper-training methods); a detailed study on resolving canine aggression; how to effectively groom your dog (including information on coat care for specific breeds, dental care, and nail-clipping how-tos); and finally, how to begin training your dog for security work.

There is such a wealth of knowledge provided with this package, that even an experienced dog handler will be impressed. You are even provided with an email address to receive free additional instruction or guidance and tips, if needed.

Several of the training techniques present a refreshingly common-sense, down-to-earth approach to dog training; others require a little more effort (take dog whispering as an example) but yield some pretty dramatic results. I liked the way that more than one training technique is detailed, to allow the reader to pick and choose the techniques that best suit themselves and their individual dogs.

For present and potential dog owners, think of this a dog owners operating manual ! There is much valuable information in this package, for example, do you know how to stop your dog from tugging on a leash, without using a check chain? Well, after reading this book, I now do. Recommended.

Sanyo has developed a full line of massage chairs. The entry level Sanyo massage chair is their model SR 1000K. The SR-1000K has some very unique features. It also comes with some features that Sanyo has in some of its luxury models. We will point out some of the more important features and functions and touch on the warranty of the SR1000K massage chair by Sanyo.

What about the warranty coverage provided by Sanyo for the SR-1000K? The SR 1000K comes with three year coverage for the roller mechanism. This is the mechanical system that performs the massage functions for the back, neck and shoulders. Sanyo will also cover the parts for one year and the labor for year. One of the more generous elements of the warranty is providing in home repair for the first year of ownership.

Sanyo has designed two auto programs which run the full massage chair with the touch of a button. These 2 programs are named Relax and Recovery. As their name implies, the types of massage treatment is geared around the name. Recovery is used after strenuous activity. Relax is more subtle and looks to induce full body relaxation and tranquility of the mind.

On the advanced electronics side of the equation, Sanyo has borrowed some technology used to make its lie detectors. The technology is used in its Stiffness Detector. The Stiffness Detector is used to locate areas of tension build up or muscle stiffness. The chair takes readings from your finger and then targets those areas for relief.

You can also use the massage chair in manual mode. The manual mode has manual massage techniques which include massage, tapping, combination, stretch 1 and stretch 2. You can also use the massages in combination with the stretching. This gives you many more varieties of massage treatments to choose from with this chair.

One of the very unique functions of the massage chair is the leg rest massage mechanism. The leg rest can target the calves and also the feet. It has a special flip down portion that is used to massage the feet. It can be flipped up and hidden from view when not in use. You do have to position your feet to flip the portion down. The massage is pretty invigorating and can be relieving for the feet and calves.

The remote of the SR1000K is fairly well designed. You have to get used to the sequence of the commands. It is laid out well and not too hard to pick up with use. It uses gradients of lights to show the intensity which helps it be more intuitive to use and to read.

The design is different than most massage chairs on the market. We like the fact that the leg rest does not look like the typical massage chair. It looks more like a recliner. The feet can be massaged and this part can be hidden from view. The only strange part of the design is the remote control holder is mounted on the sign and kind of an eye sore. We do like the wood accents and that the chair is fairly thin. Overall, the SR-1000K provides thorough and effective massage therapy. It comes with a great warranty for this price level. If you are shopping for a massage chair recliner, then the Sanyo SR1000K is one to take a serious look at.

It may seem like a contradiction. How do you save money when you have to spend money? Most people look at massage chairs as luxury items. They certainly are luxury items if you really do not need the massage therapy that they can provide. On the other hand, if you do need the massage therapy that they then massage chairs can save you a significant amount of money. Many people suffer from back pain or other conditions that require medical or chiropractic treatment. We all know that health care costs continue to rise. How do you save money buying a massage chair?

Let us take an example. We go to get our massage at the day spa. First, we need to call them and schedule a time. We are going to have travel time to go and come back from the massage. There is also the total time involved. Massage time is the bonus time the rest of the time can be considered the cost involved. The massage is not free, so we must pay for the time of the massage and a gratuity. If we go 3 times every month, by the end of the year we are spending thousands.

Some people need to go physical therapy or perhaps a chiropractor. The health care providers help to set you back on the right path of healing your condition. They help you get started with some basic techniques and treatments to help correct the situation. Many of these providers make use or recommend massage therapy as a compliment to your healing process. If you have started a path to recovery then these visits start to add up until you can take over on your own.

Traditional massage therapy has been delivered by humans for centuries. Certainly this is a fantastic method to receive massage therapy. However, massage chairs now provide an alternative that delivers effective massage therapy. These therapeutic recliners range in price from $1,000 to $7,000.

The interesting thing is people look at massage chairs as expensive. They see the total cost of say $3,000 and they think, Wow! That is expensive for massage therapy. But they really do not look at paying $75 plus tip once a week as expensive. Let us say that a massage therapist runs $75 plus tip at $10 for a total of $85 per a one hour session. Let us assume that we visit the massage therapist once a week. How long does it take until we pay for the cost of a $3,000 massage chair? It takes 35 weeks or 35 massage therapy sessions.

When we look at the cost of the masseuse on an hourly basis and we a paying $85 dollars. It would take us 35 hours of masseuse hours to purchase a $3,000 massage chair. If we were to buy a massage chair for this price, how much massage therapy would we get. A massage chair in the midrange level of $3,000 would have a machine life of 1,000 hours. That means the massage chair is rated to last 1,000 hours under the warranty period. How much does it cost for an hour of massage therapy? To calculate this, divide the cost of the chair of $3,000 by the 1,000 hour rating and you are paying $3.00 per hour for massage therapy!

A massage chair gives you a tremendous return on your investment and lowers your massage therapy cost dramatically. Cost is just one area, convenience is another. A massage chair can offer you in-home convenience and 24/7 access. No hassle making appointments or keeping them. With a massage chair, just sit yourself down and select the massage therapy of your choice. Let the massage chair work its magic to help you to relax and relieve your aches and pains without hurting your wallet.

Most notably, it will find the location of both your neck and your shoulders. Furthermore, it will identify the key acupressure points located throughout your back. The back has almost 100 acupressure points. The automatic program is then calculated using your precise measurements for an outstanding massage.

The Montage Premier comes with a virtual arsenal of massage therapy treatments to choose from. There are five pre-programmed or automatic massage treatments. Each of these has a theme.

Omega has integrated an air compression massage for the lower body in the Montage Premier. The air compression massage uses a squeeze, hold and release technique to relieve tightness and fatigue in the major muscles of the lower body. The air compression massage uses a compressor that inflates the air bags located in the massage chair. You can also adjust the intensity of the air compression to four levels of intensity ranging from gentle to firm pressure.

This massage chair was designed for the American market. It can accommodate persons up to 6′ 6″ and 300lbs. You get 30 inches of travel for the roller mechanism which covers the back, neck and shoulders. The leg rest can be extended out another 4 inches for those with longer legs. Most massage chairs are designed in Asia and exported to the American market. Omega is the first to make a massage chair for the American body type.

One innovative feature integrated into the Montage Premier is Omega’s exclusive Footflex technology. The Footflex is a combination of a soothing foot massage complimented with a reflexology massage. Airbags are used to focus on both the heel and the arch to stretch and soothe the feet. Reflexology nodes are used to stimulate the trigger points in the feet which help to relax the rest of your body.

One of the best functions of the Montage Premier is the lower body traction system. The traction system is designed to improve the range of motion of your lower body. The traction system will stretch the legs. This elongates the hips, thighs and calves while decompressing to lower lumbar. The leg rest is used to provide the traction by first raising and then slowly lowering. This is an excellent complimentary feature that integrates into the automatic programs when activated.

When you add it all up, the Montage Premier is simply hard to beat. You get the most comprehensive warranty coverage. There is a virtual arsenal of massage therapies and treatments to choose from. You can target many regions of your back including the upper and lower neck. The Footflex technology provides and outstanding foot massage for soothing relief.

We will present a systematic review of the Sanyo DR-6700 massage chair recliner. This is one of the higher end Sanyo massage chairs. Sanyo is known for integrating many advanced features into their recliners. This review will cover five main categories ranging from warranty coverage to massage therapy. See how this high end massage chair is rated.

Warranty & Customer Service: One of the first areas you want to check out with a massage chair that you are interested in is the warranty coverage. Massage chairs are complex machines and you just want to make sure in the unlikely event something goes wrong that you are protected. Let’s look at the warranty coverage for the DR6700. The roller mechanism which is what provides the back massage is covered for three years. Parts and labor are covered for one year. Sanyo also provides you with one year of in home technician service. The parts and labor is rather short. The good part of the warranty is the 1 year technician service. We rate the warranty an 18.

Comfort & Ergonomics: One of the key elements in design today is the discipline of ergonomics. Ergonomics is the study of how the human body moves. Sanyo has built a fairly well designed chair from an ergonomic standpoint. All is within easy reach. Additionally, the DR6700 is form fitting to the body. The back pad and seat are comfortable to sit in when the chair is not running. Sanyo has done a pretty solid job and we give it an 18.

Ease of Use: This category takes a look at how easy the chair is to use for the average person. We have seen some overly complicated remotes which require too many steps to get the chair to do what you want. The remote control has 4 automatic programs which operate off one touch. Manual programs are a little bit more involved which requires a few steps to get the chair where you want. The intensity and width adjustments have a nice phased LED to show the power levels. Overall, we rate the Sanyo DR6700 a 17 in ease of use.

Key Features: The two extraordinary massage features in the DR6700 are the Stiffness detection system and the GK rollers. The Stiffness detection system is borrowed from Sanyo’s lie detector technology. This system actually measures your pulse rate and the extent of your perspiration. This is done by reading your finger when you hold onto the secondary remote control. The DR6700 can locate areas of tension and stress in your body. These readings are then feed to the computer and those areas are targeted for relief. The other important feature is the GK rollers in the roller mechanism. These nimble rollers can massage over the tops of the shoulders for a soothing and relaxing massage. We give the DR-6700 an 18 for key features.

Massage Therapy: There is a number of effective massage therapies integrated into the DR-6700. There are the four auto-programs which include Fine, Relax, Recovery and Stiffness. You can also select from five manual massage techniques. The manual techniques are Shiatsu, Tapping, Kneading, Combo and Grip. Grip is perhaps a unique massage to the Sanyo line. The intensity of the massage can be adjusted based on your needs. There are manual massage course which provide focus on specific areas of the back, neck and shoulders. These massages are both effective and relieving. We give this massage chair 19 out of 20 points for massage therapy.

How did the HEC DR6700K do in our review? We scored this massage chair recliner a 90/100 points. Overall, the DR6700 is a very solid chair. It is comfortable and well designed. You get some interesting advanced electronic features with the physical shape sensor and the stiffness detector. We are somewhat disappointed with the short warranty coverage for parts and labor at 1 year. The massage therapy is very effective and the Grip massage is a nice soothing and relieving manual massage. If you haven’t tried the DR6700K, you should compare it with Sanyo’s top of the line model. The DR-6700 massage chair is one you should look at further in the luxury massage recliners.

If you are looking for a massage chair, then finding relevant information regarding potential shiatsu chair candidates is important. Reviews and evaluations can point out the relevant aspects of each product. To assist potential purchaser researching massage chairs, we evaluate 5 key categories which include Warranty & Customer Service, Comfort/Ergonomics, Ease of Use, Features and Massage Therapy. Each category is worth up to 20 points. All points are added up to give a total score based on the 5 categories. A disciplined, systematic approach takes out bias and presents facts. We review the Luxury range of $4,000 to $5,000 and feature the Omega Montage Elite massage chair.

Warranty & Customer Service: First is how the manufacturer rates in both warranty coverage and customer service. The manufacturer needs to stand behind its product. Omega gives a 5 years on the frame, 3 years on parts, 3 years labor and 90 days in-home service. Unlike, the electronics company’s like Panasonic or Sanyo, Omega’s standard warranty is equal to these companies extended warranties which, of course, cost extra. Service and technical competence are high. Overall Rating for the Omega warranty and customer service is 18.

Comfort & Ergonomics: A massage chair needs to be comfortable and fit the body. A massage chair needs to be more useful than just for massage. The Omega Montage Elite is comfortable and the upholstery is well padded and plush. The detachable head pillow is soft and the thickness is appropriate. The Omega Montage Elite comes with a wireless remote control about the size of a credit card for convenience. The foot rest is extendable out 4 inches for much taller people. Incredibly, this massage chair recliner fits people as short as 4′ 10″ to 6′ 6″. Our rating in this category is 19.

East of Use: Massage Chair manufacturers are building in more technology and features into their chairs. Users need to be able to quickly, easily and intuitively understand how to use of a product. The Montage Elite has many advanced features and many manual options. The main remote control has 5 auto programs and a wheel button for adjusting the footrest and chair back. This remote is fairly intuitive. The wireless remote is a distilled version of the main remote and is simple in design and allows for virtually all the controls of the massage. The only significant exception is the air pressure on the lower body can only be adjusted from the main remote. Like most main remotes, a side panel contains many manual controls including manual massages and adjustments to the lower body air system. The wireless remote is compact, convenient and now a must have. The Montage Elite is a 19 in Ease of Use.

Key Features: The important features of the Montage Elite are the Lower Body Traction, the music-massage sychronization, and the Footflex reflexology foot massage. How about a good stretch? The Montage Elite delivers a lower body stretch from your lower back, hips, thighs, knees and ankles. Load your favorite music onto the USB stick and plug it into the Montage Elite and hit play. Use the music-massage sychronization button to have the massage functions to the tempo of the music. This is the best music synchronization on the market. Skeptics beware! The Footflex reflexology foot massage is a soothing and relieving massage. The Montage Elite does not get tired, put your tired, aching feet in the footwells and find total relief. Overall Rating for the Omega Montage Elite massage chair for features is 19.

Massage Therapy: The Montage Elite has both automatic and manual massage settings. Omega incorporates 5 full body automatic courses, 4 manual massage courses, and 4 massage speed settings for a total combination of 64 manual massage courses. The manual massage techniques include Kneading, Tapping, Finger Press, and Kneading & Tapping (Shiatsu). The kneading and tapping speeds can be individually control in the shiatsu technique. For instance, you can have slow kneading combined with fast tapping or vice versa in 8 combinations. The lower body massage of this shiatsu massage chair is thorough and invigorating. Activating the lower body traction with the full lower body massage and full back massage can only be topped with the music-massage synchronization function. The Montage Elite is a full body therapy and relaxation machine providing a full sensory experience. The Montage Elite massage chair is a 20 in Massage Therapy.

How does the Omega Massage Montage Elite stack up? Overall, our rating of the Panasonic is an 95/100. Omega just packs the features, conveniences and the luxuries into this shiatsu massage chair.
