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.

We are first going to look at warranty coverage. We emphasize this because we have seen our share of customer horror stories of going with a small massage chair importer. They then run into problems and get stuck with a chair that doesn't work, no parts are available and no one can fix it. We always recommend going with a recognized brand with higher quality standards and longevity.

Human Touch provides the following warranty coverage for the HT 1650 massage recliner. You get 5 years on the structure, 3 years parts, 1 year labor and 90 days of in field service. Compared to other known brands, this warranty coverage is competitive. We would like to see more coverage for labor which in our opinion should be equal to the parts.

Now let us get to the good stuff: massage therapy. The HT 1650 comes with a variety of massage therapy functions. There are manual massage functions such as rolling, compression, kneading and percussion. You can also select to focus on certain areas of the back. This massage recliner comes with 8 pre-programs. Select from these full body massages which 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.

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.

The HT-1650 comes with a hidden calf and foot massager. The calf and foot massage doubles as a regular leg rest when not being used for massage. This calf and foot massager is hidden in the front of the chair. The massager can be flipped to reveal the calf and foot massager. This is a great feature in that the calf and foot massager can be hidden from view when not in use.

The calf and foot massager is used for providing a compression massage to either the feet or calves. The compression massage utilizes a squeeze, hold and release technique favored by massage therapists around the world. The calf and foot massage uses a compressor to deliver pressurized air to the airbags which perform the compression massage. This massage is very invigorating and relieving for tight calves and for loosening up the feet after a long day.

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.
