Massage Chair Review: The Omega M-5000DLX
This is a review of one of the top massage chairs produced by Omega Massage. The M-5000DLX is going to be evaluated based on its ease of use, warranty coverage, ergonomics, key features and the effectiveness of its massage therapy. Our reviews are systematic and a chair can earn up to 20 points in each category. The sum of the categories then determines its overall rating. Let us take a look at how the M5000 DLX rates.
Warranty Coverage & Customer Service: With any product that incorporates both electrical and mechanical features, you want to make sure that you get an adequate warranty. Even the best of brands are assembled by Humans and mistakes can occur. Warranty coverage is your long term protection from defects in material or workmanship. The Omega M-5000 comes with the following warranty coverage: 5 years protection on the frame or structure of the chair; 3 years coverage on parts and labor; 1 year parts shipping; 90 days in home technician service. By industry standards, this is the best warranty coverage available on a massage chair in this class. On the service side, Omega has an excellent track record. We give the M5000 a 19.
Comfort & Ergonomics: The purpose of a massage chair is to ease your aches and pains to facilitate relaxation and wellness. To accomplish this, a massage chair needs to be comfortable. Another important element to comfort is ergonomics or how well the chair is designed to fit your body and where key controls are located. The DLX comes in oxide leather which is very comfortable to the touch as well as durable. There are adjustable head and shoulder pillows to support the head and neck. All chair controls are located on the remote control. Everything can be operated from the remote, including changing the music and volume levels. The M-5000 gets an 18 in this category.
Ease of Use: The electronics being incorporated into the devices of today are simply outstanding. There are more and more features available and that is great news for consumers. The challenge, of course, is designing these devices so that one does not need a PHD to use it. We like the DLX from an ease of use perspective. It has a simple design for its remote control. There are single-touch auto massage programs. A clear LCD screen to show what the chair is doing. They also have a hidden panel for all the manual massage adjustment as well as the MP3 player controls. We rate the M-5000 an 18 for ease of use.
Key Features: The key features that stand out in the M5000 DLX are the lower body air massage with the reflexology foot massage and the lower back massage. The air massage system consists of an air compressor that inflates specially designed airbags. The airbags for the foot massage have reflexology nodules. These nodules stimulate your trigger points on your feet to induce your whole body to relax. The lower back massage provides a penetrating massage to the lumbar area. The DLX reaches down to the lower parts of the lumbar with deep and penetrating strokes that provide substantial relief. We give the DLX an 18 for its key features.
Massage Therapy: We will state right off the bat that the M5000 DLX is the strongest and most penetrating massage chair on the market today. The DLX comes with layers of padding to soften massage. This allows those more sensitive to also enjoy the chair, but also more importantly it allows those that need a deep penetrating massage to obtain it now and in the future. The automatic pre-programs are perhaps the best designed massage programs available with techniques not available in other chairs. The lower body is covered with the air massage system which can target together or individually the feet, calves, thighs and buttocks. We give the DLX an 18 for massage therapy.
The Omega M-5000 DLX is a striking massage chair and we believe it was the first to incorporate wood armrests for a nice designer touch. The warranty coverage is the best of its kind in this price range. The foot reflexology massage is excellent relief for those who enjoy a good foot massage. The automatic massage programs are penetrating, comprehensive and thorough. If you have back, shoulder or neck issues, this massage chair provide excellent relief. Throw in the MP3 music player and you have a relaxation machine that will provide you years of relieving massage therapy. The M5000DLX is an outstanding massage chair recliner and rates overall a 91/100.
