Steve Esquire
This product review is of the Human Touch shiatsu massage chair model HT-125. The Human Touch organizaton has one of the broadest range of massage chairs. The HT 125 is a low range model with an executive chair appearance. This massage chair review of the Human Touch HT-125 takes an unbiased look at this shiatsu massage chair. Human Touch is known for their HT technology which provides a realistic massage feeling. This massage chair recliner is in the $1,000 to $2,500 price range.
Human Touch is a giant in the field of massage chairs and has over 30 models at almost every price point. Human Touch has built up an array of distribution channels for their massage chairs and can be found all across the country. Human Touch has been an innovator in this industry and has some patents covering technology they have developed. One of the more famous patents is the flipping ottoman. This is a unique feature, where the ottoman flips to expose a calf massager. The ottoman can be flipped back over and the massage chair looks more like a regular leather recliner.
What about the warranty of the Human Touch HT-125 massage chair? Human Touch provides just an average warranty directly from the manufacturer. The standard manufacturer's covers 3 years structure, 1 year parts, 90 days labor. In home service is available for $225 for the first hour and $150 each additional hour. Human Touch provides below average warranty protection for the customer. An extended warranty can be purchased at an additional fee. Human Touch makes good chairs, but their warranty needs to be beefed up to better protect the customer.
How is the Human Touch HT-125 shiatsu massage chair? Let us start with the design and aesthetics. Human Touch makes an attractive massage chair and this chair looks more like an executive chair than a massage chair. The flipping ottoman helps get rid of the somewhat bulky calf massage. Human Touch does an excellent job with putting this chair on a large round base, which gives it a striking design. The Human Touch HT-125 is a comfortable massage chair and comes in a wide assortment of colors.
The Human Touch HT-125 massage chair has the following manual massages: partial roll, full roll, kneading, compression, percussion and kneading+percussion. Human Touch incorporates the latest version of robotic massage which is patterned after the same techniques used by professional massage therapists. There are 3 automatic programs in the HT-125. Overall, this massage chair recliner does a solid, thorough job on the back to loosen tight muscles and ease aches and pains.
The HT-125 massage chair by Human Touch also comes with a shoulder height adjustment. The shoulder height adjustment allows the user to select from 3 shoulder types: tall, medium, or short. Use the shoulder height adjustments of the HT-125 to position the rollers for maximum comfort. Put the HT-125 in manual mode and pinpoint a specific area of your body. Let the rollers work a given massage at one specific area to relieve soreness and tension. The leg rest of the HT-125 can be used to massage either your calves or feet. The leg rest also comes with a stretch function which will perform a gentle full body stretch. The gentle body stretch of the HT-125 is helpful to improve joint mobility. To get a foot massage, the user must raise the foot rest and bend their knees and put their feet on the calf massage.
The HT 125 is an attractive executive style massage chair by Human Touch. The HT 125 is stylish, contemporary and does not look like a typical massage chair. The flipping ottoman is a great feature to hide the calf massager. The massage functions work well and the chair has the HT technology which imitates a master masseuse. The warranty is a little lacking directly from the factory, so the extended warranty is recommended for adequate protection, but of course, this adds to the cost of the massage chair. If you are looking for a solid, all around shiatsu massage chair, you will be happy with the Human Touch HT-125.
