By: James Knolan.

For a product reviews to be effective, it should cover the salient aspects of the purchase. This helps buyers to better know their options. We created a structured approach using 5 categories. Each category can earn 0 to 20 points. The categories we rate are as follows: Warranty & Customer Service, Comfort/Ergonomics, Ease of Use, Features and Massage Therapy. We then add up the total to give an overall rating. In this massage chair review we analyze the M-2 Orion Massage Chair from Omega Massage. This entry level lounger is in the price range of $1,500 and under.

Warranty & Customer Service: How well does the manufacturer protect the customer? This is what we cover with warranty and customer service. The warranty covers the massage chair and customer service is how well the product is supported once purchased. The M-2 Orion has 1 year on the frame, 6 months on parts, and 6 months labor and shipping for 6 months. This is one of the best warranty coverage for an entry level chair. Customer service from Omega is solid. They have quick turnaround and great technical competence. We give the M-2 Orion an 18 in Warranty & Customer.

Comfort & Ergonomics: A massage chair needs to be designed to fit the body and provide comfort. The chair is a place of relaxation. One does not want to be pre-occupied with non-intuitive functions. Let us take a look at the Orion. The Orion has a remote control holder under the armrest which is very convenient. You can recline the chair from 115 degrees to 170 degrees. There is the calf massage built into the footrest. The leg rest can be extended 4 extra inches. This allows the calf massager to be adjusted to where you like. The Orion is pretty comfortable with fully padded side armrests, extra seat cushion. You also get a plush back pad with a detachable shoulder pillow. The M-2 earns a 17 in this category.

Ease of Use: A product needs to be intuitive and easy to use for consumers. The remote control is simple. It has full controls for the back, seat and leg rest. The remote also controls the calf massage, seat vibration and seat massage. Select from 3 timed auto programs and 3 back courses. The M-2 has a manual leg rest and backrest adjustments. The manual levers are in places that are easy to access, but it takes a time or two to get used to. The good thing is the hydraulics on the manual leg rest and backrest raise them, so the user only has to lean them back. Our rating for this massage chair recliner is 19 in this category.

Key Features: The features that differentiate one massage chair from another are reviewed in the key features category. The Orion massage chair features a Hawaiian massage which provides a flowing, swaying motion. The swaying massage motion is performed by the back rollers and provides good back coverage. The M-2 comes with an eight massage head system built into the seat for the buttocks and thighs. The massage heads are on a rotary mount. They provide thorough therapeutic relief. Select from 3 levels of massage intensities. Additionally, vibration is also available for the seat. The vibration helps to stimulate the capillary vessels to increase blood flow. This is a well thought out massage chair for its price range. Overall Rating for the Omega M-2 Orion for features is 18.

Select from 3 timed automatic massages of 5, 10 or 15 minutes in duration. There are 3 back course and 3 manual massages for your back.
