We take an in depth look at the Prestigio massage chair built by Omega Massage. We have developed a 5 category system to help bring a more consistent and thorough review process for potential massage chair buyers. We break the review process into 5 important key categories to present the total complete massage chair purchase. This structured system of evaluation assigns equal weight to each of the 5 categories. Each category can earn up to 20 points for a total possible score of 100 points. A score of 100 points would signify the chair and the company have achieved total excellence. The 5 categories included are Warranty & Customer Service, Comfort/Ergonomics, Ease of Use, Features and Massage Therapy. This structured approach helps to remove bias and bring a better balance to the massage chair evaluation process. This review will cover the OM-510 Prestigio massage chair by Omega Massage which is in the 2,000 to $3,000 mid-range price level.
Warranty & Customer Service: You need to take the warranty serious with massage chairs. There are complex moving parts and you can avoid costly future issues. Look at it like an insurance policy. The Prestigio comes with 5 years on the frame, 3 years covered on parts, 90 days of in home service and also 1 year of parts shipping. This is very comprehensive for the mid-tier level. Customer service is competent and responsive. We score it a 19.
Comfort & Ergonomics: The comfort of a massage recliner is important, since you may want to use it just to sit. The OM-510 has a soft padded back pad and comes with a shoulder pillow and a head support pillow. Both of these are detachable. The seat is comfortable and supports the body well. Omega also includes an extra removable back pad. This is used to soften the massage if you are more sensitive. This is important as some users want a massage to be lighter than others. The chair is very well designed ergonomically. The footrest cradles the lower body well. The remote control holder is flexible and can be adjusted easily. Overall Rating for comfort and ergonomics is 17.
Ease of Use: Design of items with technical or complicated interfaces can frustrate users. We hear complaints about ease of use and this why it is an important category. We like the Prestigio with its color coded, large format buttons. The remote is laid out in a simple way with clear descriptions. The change from automatic and manual is a two button process which could be simplified. We give it a 16 for ease of use.
Key Features: Here is what we really like about the Prestigio OM-510 massage chair. It has a soothing reflexology foot massage and an invigorating shiatsu massage. The shiatsu massage gives great and thorough penetration to the back. The rollers reach down the lower lumbar for an excellent lower back massage. The reflexology foot massage takes the days tension right out of your feet. Place those tired, aching feet in the leg rest and let the soothing begin. The reflexology points are stimulated on the bottom of your feet while a firm compression massage takes place on the top of your feet. These key features rate an 18 on our evaluation of the OM 510.
Massage Therapy: The critical category is how is the massage therapy? After all, it is a massage chair. You will not be disappointed at all with the Prestigio. It has 3 timed auto programs that provide a thorough and comprehensive massage to your back. You can switch to manual and select from 4 back courses including upper, lower, full and pinpoint. Select the manual massage treatment for targeted relief including kneading, tapping, finger press and shiatsu. The lower body is covered with the air massage system. Select the level of compression with the Prestigio for your buttocks, thighs, calves and feet. This is one invigorating massage therapy machine and scores a 19 in massage therapy.
Overall Rating: We give the OM-510 Prestigio an 89/100. We think this is a very impressive and effective massage chair. You will have years of relief and invigoration with the Prestigio. This massage recliner comes in a beautiful design with wood armrests and plush back pad. A designer side table also comes with this mid level massage chair. You get the most comprehensive warranty with the Prestigio from Omega. This massage recliner has it all.
