Product Reviews: Omega Montage Elite Massage Chair

By Steve Esquire

It is important to compare warranty coverage between models and also between brands. There can be some major differences in coverage. Massage chairs are increasing in complexity and sophistication. Warranty coverage is your insurance against any defects in materials or workmanship. Just like insurance, you hope you never need it, but just in case it is there.

One of the first things to check out about any massage chair is the warranty coverage. A massage chair has many moving parts, a computer and other electrical components. Although the quality of these chairs is outstanding, sometimes problems do occur. You want to make sure that your relaxation does not become frustration, because you did not get sufficient warranty coverage.

Let's take a look at the warranty coverage with the Omega Montage Elite. The first is the frame of the chair which has 5 years of coverage. You get parts coverage for 3 years. Labor is covered for 3 years also. With the Montage there is one year of free parts shipping included. Field service is also available where a technician will come out to your home and make repairs. Omega covers this for the first 90 days.

The Montage Elite comes with 5 themed automatic programs. Each of these one-touch programs is geared toward a different result. For instance, night is more subtle and prepares you for a night of peaceful sleep. Activation is more vigorous and gets the blood flowing and the muscles loosened up for strenuous activity. Fin the one that is right for you depending on what you are looking to do.

With the Omega Montage Elite massage chair there are four manual massage techniques. The techniques include kneading, tapping, finger press and shiatsu. The kneading is great for loosening tight muscles. The tapping helps to invigorate the muscles and increase blood flow. Finger press is a rolling type massage that helps to relieve pressure on the cervical discs. Shiatsu is great for relieving and soothing tight muscles.

Your lower body is in for a treat with the Montage Elite. Omega incorporates an air compression style massage for the buttocks, hips, calves and feet. Air bags are used to deliver a compression style massage. The compression style massage uses a squeeze, hold and release pattern. This is very soothing and relieving for tight and sore muscles.

How about a nice stretch of the lower body? The Montage Elite delivers. The lower body traction system will stretch out your lower body. The stretch is activated which will raise the leg rest to a horizontal position. The leg rest then lowers to 3 different successively lower positions. This extends out your hips, thighs, knees and ankles. This helps improve your range of motion.

Another great therapy included in the Montage Elite massage chair is the full body heat capability. There are heating elements with individual controls for the chair back, seat and the leg rest. Heat is a method used by physical therapist to reduce swelling of muscles and increase blood flow to a particular area. To further help you relax, slip on the included headphones and listen to your favorite music on the built in MP3 player.

The Montage Elite has an attractive, contemporary design. It comes in black, dark brown and ivory. The arm rests actually lift up and allows for wheelchair access. This is an outstanding luxury class massage recliner. It comes with one of the best warranties in its class. There is a full range of massage therapy capabilities and complimentary features. If you are looking at a higher end massage chair, you owe it to yourself to check out the Omega Montage Elite massage chair.
