So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Product Review of Omega OM 510 Massage Chair Recliner

By James Knolan

This review takes a close look at the middle level massage chair from the Omega Massage Corporation. Their mid level massage chair is the OM-510 Prestigio. To present a balanced review, we evaluate the recliner in 5 key categories. These categories include Warranty & Customer Service, Comfort/Ergonomics, Ease of Use, Features and Massage Therapy. Any of the categories can score from 0 to 20 points The could get a maximum score of 100 points. Obviously, that would be total excellence. Let's evaluate the Prestigio massage chair recliner.

Warranty & Customer Service: Warranty and customer service is really an evaluation of come from the manufacturer that makes the massage chair. Warranty is important for customer protection and peace of mind. The warranty covers the quality of workmanship of the product. Customer service is the level of response and support received by the company in case something was to go wrong. Omega Massage covers the OM-510 with the following coverage: 5 years for the frame, 3 years on parts, and 90 days in home service. They also provide shipping for parts for 1 year. For a mid range level this is terrific warranty coverage. Omega is known for providing the most comprehensive warranty of the major manufacturers in this category. Our experience with Omega for customer service has been consistent. Omega is responsive and has strong technical competence to diagnose quickly and get issues resolved. The Prestigio is a 19 in Warranty & Customer.

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: We like the large LCD at the top of the remote and it is also back lit for use in low lighting. The oversize buttons make the remote easy to read and for those with less dexterity, easy to push. We like the top controls the chair back and the lower portion controls the lower body. The change form automatic to manual requires selecting mode and then the massage technique. Overall, it is a good remote and we rate is at a 16 in this category.

Key Features: The important features of the Omega Prestigio are the shiatsu massage and the reflexology foot massage. The shiatsu massage is a combination of kneading and tapping in the automatic program. The software program of the OM-510 drives the shiatsu style massage in the automatic programs. It is very effective in loosening up the back, shoulder and neck muscles. It is very thorough and penetrates deeply. The foot wells of this massage recliner have built in reflexology nodes. These reflexology nodes gently push up into the feet providing full body relaxation. The foot massage is done with an air compression massage which provides a firm squeeze, hold and release sequence. If you love a foot massage, this recliner has one of the best we have tried. Overall we give the Omega OM-510 a rating of 18 for its features.

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.
