December 1st, 2009 Chip Baum No comments

Two of the absolute best high-end massage chairs are made by Sanyo and by Omega massage. Both of these manufacturers have solid reputations in very reliable massage chairs. Omega massage produces the Montage Premier massage chair and Sanyo produces the DR 7700 massage chair. Both of these massage recliners are packed with some amazing features. We take a look at both of these models to help you decide which one will best fit your needs.

When trying out a massage chair, one of the true tests is taking a seat while the chair is not working. After sitting and both the Sanyo and the Omega, the Omega massage chair felt much more comfortable and cushiony than the Sanyo did. Also, the feel of the material is another factor. Again, the Montage Premier by Omega had a much softer feel to the material than the DR 7700 massage chair by Sanyo.

The Sanyo DR 7700 comes with some amazing electronic features. One of the electronic systems integrated into the Sanyo massage chair is a physical shape sensor. The physical shape sensor determines how your body is sitting in the chair. If you move during the massage, then the shape sensor redirects the massage based on your new body position.

Omega massage also equips its Montage Premier with a back scanning capability. The back scan will be activated when an automatic massage is turned on. The body scan commences to find the neck and shoulders and other important locations for the massage. This information is inputted into the computer and used to deliver a customized massage.

The Sanyo DR 7700 massage chair also has a stiffness detection system. A mouse like device is used to read certain stress signals area it records your pulse rate and perspiration. The mouse must be held during the massage to take the reading. The stiffness detection system works with the LCD to point out the areas detected.

Omega massage has developed a five different massage programs for the Montage Premier massage chair. Each of these five programs is designed for specific user requirements. There are lighter massages for her warming up and also ones for deep tissue penetration. Select the automatic massage that best suits your needs at any given time.

There are four automatic massage programs and the DR 7700. Sanyo has developed for separate themed programs depending on the user’s need. These programs are set at 15 minutes but can be adjusted up or down depending on the user’s desire. Each of these programs runs the full capability of the massage chair.

The Montage Premier also provides additional therapeutic treatments beyond the massage therapy. The Montage Premier has full body heaters. The Sanyo DR 7700 has a heater only for the soles of the feet. Heat is commonly applied to help reduce swelling and to enhance blood flow.

The Montage Premier comes with lower body traction for stretching and relieving the legs and lower back. The Sanyo DR 7700 offers the zero gravity position. This position is to help take the most pressure off of the spine. Although, we liked the zero gravity position, I did not find I enjoyed the massage in the same position.

The true test of any massage chair is does it relieve sore muscles and does it relax your mind. The Sanyo DR 7700 comes with many advanced technological features. However, these features are interesting more as a novelty then as therapy. The Omega Montage Premier on the other hand, provides more therapeutic features. Slip on the headphones and play some relaxing music. Let your mind drift off as the Montage Premier deeply penetrates tired and aching muscles.

In comparing the Sanyo DR 7700 to the Omega Montage Premier, we find that the Montage Premier massage chair provides superior effective massage therapy. The Sanyo massage chair has some interesting technological features, but we feel that the therapeutic features of the Montage Premier provide a more comprehensive massage treatment. The Montage Premier massage chair by Omega provides for the best overall massage experience.
