The Human Touch HT 1650 Massage Chair Recliner
The human touch company makes a broad range of massage chairs. One of their high-end models is the HT 1650. Unlike most massage chairs, the HT 1650 looks more like a traditional recliner. It is quite a large chair and provides full body massage capability. We peel back the layers of the HT 1650 to reveal some of its more important features.
One of the technologies that are integrated into the human touch chair is the detection of acupoints. This technology makes a scan of the back and will identify each individual's acupoints. There are more than 100 different points on the back, neck and shoulders.
This massage recliner will perform a full scan of your back and determine your specific acupoints. There are known to be over 100 acupoints in the neck, shoulders and back. Your body has a total of over 350 acupoints. As the scan is performed, the chairs computer will note where your specific acupoints are located.
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.
There are also four manual massage functions included in this massage recliner. The four manual massage functions are compression, rolling, percussion and kneading. You may select these manual programs in use them in conjunction with manual massage courses.
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.
An interesting feature integrated into the HT 1650 is its unique leg rest. The leg rest is flat on one side. However, when you flip it over, it has spaces to fit your legs and. These leg Wells are used to deliver a compression massage to the calves.
The nice thing about the flipping ottoman designed by human touch is that you can flip it when not in use. The leg rest hides very nicely underneath with this design. This enables you to better match the type of back or in your house.
The HT 1650 works from a hardwired remote control. The remote control has two faces with function buttons. By utilizing two faces, the remote was slammed down. There is also a pocket of material which holds the remote when not in use.
You get a wide variety of massage treatments with the HT 1650. Although, I liked the look of the recliner, the massage therapy is not quite as effective as I would like. It seems that it is a little light for a high-end massage chair. This can be a concern as you will build up tolerance to the massage chair through time. You want to make sure that your long-term needs are met.
The HT 1650 massage chair comes with three years warranty on the parts. Human touch also provides you with 90 days of in-home technician service. This means that if you had a problem, a service technician would be dispatched to your home to conduct the repair. This is important as massage chairs typically weigh over 150 pounds.
We liked the bold design of the HT 1650 massage chair by human touch. It is nice to see that many of the massage technologies can be successfully hidden and to a traditional looking recliner. The main concern that we have with the HT 1650 massage chair is the strength of its massage therapy. It has a number of different programs, but most are fairly weak from our therapeutic point of view. However, there are many solid features and the HT 1650 massage chair.
