Massage Chair Review: The Omega M-5000 DLX Recliner

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: This is a vitally important category for your long term comfort needs. For you to relax, a massage chair needs to fit the body, so you are comfortable. The design of the chair needs to facilitate that all controls are easily accessed. The DLX is well designed from this perspective. The seat is plush as well as the back pad. There are a series of pads for the back. There is a removable back pad, the main back pad, a neck pad and a head pillow. These are adjustable to suit your needs. All of the functions of the chair can be operated from the main remote. There is a hidden panel in the middle of the slim controller for manual operations and for the music controls. We rate the DLX an 18 for comfort and ergonomics.

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 M5000 has one of the best neck and shoulder massages. This automatic program is thorough and invigorating. The programming of the massage hits all the right points and provides deeper penetration. An extra pad is included to soften the massage for those that want it softer. This is certainly one of the best massage programs we have tried. Another important feature of the LDX is one for relaxing. The M-5000 has an MP3 player. The massage chair comes with a USB stick that you can load up with MP3 compatible music. Slip on the headphones and let the DLX take you to higher states of relaxation than you thought possible. We give the M5000 an 18 for features.

Massage Therapy: The M-5000 comes with an arsenal of massage treatment to soothe and relax the most demanding massage enthusiasts. There are five automatic pre-programs. This includes specialized programs for the neck and shoulders, the full back and the lower back. There are 4 manual massage techniques that include kneading, tapping, kneading/tapping combination and a finger press. You can also choose from four back courses. The back courses cover specific regions you can target. The roller width is adjustable to 3 settings and the massage intensity is adjustable to 3 levels. The lower body air massage covers your buttocks, thighs, calves and feet. The massage therapy is strong and effective. The extra pad is given for a reason-to soften the massage. This is one of the most effective massage chairs on the market. Overall, we give it an 18.

If you need deep, penetrating relief, then this is the massage chair for you. Overall, we give it 91/100 points. It comes with an excellent warranty. It is well designed to be simple and easy to use. The air massage system is very soothing for the lower body and the reflexology foot massage is fantastic. The programming of the pre-set programs are simply outstanding. These provide thorough coverage of your back and penetrate deeply to relieve sore muscles. We like the included headphones which enables you to tune out the world and just totally relax.
