Virtual Library For Researching Features Of A Robotic Massage Chair

The M-2 Orion massage chair is the entry level massage chair by Omega.  Omega Massage Chairs designs strikingly aesthetic massage chairs with advanced technology.  This review will evaluate some of the salient features of this massage recliner.  Let us take an in-depth look at the M-2 Orion.

We always like to point out that there are so many massage chair companies on the market.  It is sometimes difficult and confusing for customers to find chairs from good, reputable companies.  It is important to stay with top tier manufacturers in this industry.  For instance, the top tier companies will have retail clients and national distribution.  Beware of one-man import companies, because you may end up with now warranty coverage in the long run.  Omega Massage is one of the top tier companies, so rest assured they will be here down the road.

We will first evaluate the warranty coverage for the M-2 massage recliner.  The Orion comes with 1 year coverage on the frame of the chair.  You also get 6 months for both parts and labor.  This is comprehensive coverage compared to other massage chairs in this class.  Omega also provides solid customer service.  They are competent and their turn around times for any issues are fast.

We really like the design aesthetic of the Orion.  It is sleek, modern and contemporary in design.  It can compliment virtually any room in the house.  We have seen our share of ugly chair designs and we think the M-2 is one of the best looking massage chairs on the market today.  The padded armrests sweep back to the thin chair back.  There is an attractive silver trim on the side panels given it an enhanced look and design.

The remote control of the M-2 is fairly simple to use.  It has a built in holder underneath the armrest.  This is nice to not have a remote stand which is pretty common on most chairs.  The remote has both automatic programs and manual programs.  The automatic programs have 3 different timed settings of 5, 10 and 15 minutes.  The manual programs allow you to select from 3 manual massage techniques.  These include kneading, swaying and rolling.  You can also select from 3 back courses.  The back courses are full back, lower back and upper back.

The chair back has the roller unit which provides the back massage.  The Orion comes with 23 inches of travel.  This means the rollers will move up and down your back 23 inches.  The chair back is relatively thin for a massage recliner and is fully upholstered front and back.  Many chairs have a plastic back cover.  The chair back can be reclined back 170 degrees with a range of motion from 115 to 170 degrees.  The chair recline is manually controlled by pushing a lever and leaning back to the desired angle.  Returning the back rest to its upright position requires the user to sit up and the piston will bring the chair back up.

The Orion has a vibration massage which can be set to three levels of intensity in the seat.  This is a soothing massage to help improve the blood flow in the thighs and buttocks.  There are 8 rotary massage heads built into the seat.  The rotary massage heads can be set to three levels of intensity.  They provide a penetrating massage for the buttocks and thighs.  There is also an extra seat cushion for dampening the massage intensity.

The leg rest is adjustable in two different ways.  You can raise the foot rest up to 90 degrees to a full horizontal position.  You can also extend the foot rest out up to 4 inches.  This is very convenient to position the leg rest massager exactly where you want on your legs.  The calf massage can be set to 3 levels of intensity to provide the level of penetration desired.  The leg rest is operated with a manual control lever to raise or lower.

The M-2 Orion massage recliner is one of the best values in its class.  This entry level chair provides an effective and thorough full body massage.  The recliner comes with a unique Sway massage which is similar to the Hawaiian style massage.  The Orion comes with many functions which you would find in many higher priced recliners.  Omega provides good warranty coverage for this model.  If you are looking for an entry level massage chair, put this one on your short list.
