This is a product review of the high end HT 1650 massage chair recliner. This massage chair recliner is the product of Human Touch. Human Touch has a full line of massage chairs available. We will take a look at the features, options, functions and warranty of the HT-1650 by Human Touch.

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.

Human Touch provides an arsenal of automatic programs in the HT-1650 such as 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. There are also 4 manual massage treatments with the following: rolling, compression, kneading and percussion. You can pinpoint certain regions of you back to hit those trouble areas as well.

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.

Human Touch has designed this massage recliner to look just like a normal recliner. To do that, they have a unique calf massager. The calf massage is actually hidden in the leg rest and can be flipped over. When you flip it over, then the leg wells where you can place your legs is visible. However, when not in use, you can flip it back and it looks like a normal recliner. This enables you to put this massage chair recliner in virtually any room in your house.

If you have sore feet or tightness of the calves, then the leg rest massager is a great feature for you. This leg rest comes equipped with an air compression system. There are airbags built into the leg wells that perform a soothing compression massage. The air system activates the airbags and they will gently or firmly squeeze, hold and release your feet or calves. This is very soothing and relieving for your feet and calves.

Human Touch has an innovative remote control. It has built control buttons on two faces of the four faces of the control. This has allowed them to make the remote thinner than many on the market. They also have removed the remote stand which is usually attached to the side of the chair and instead made a pocket to hold the remote. All of these design elements come together in this recliner to make it a massage chair disguised as a recliner.
