This a massage chair review for the Human Touch model HT 7120 recliner. Human Touch is known for their executive looking type massage chairs. They have packed the HT 7120 with many features and functions of which we will highlight the more important ones. We will also review the warranty coverage for this sleek lounger. Let us take a deeper look at the HT-7120 massage chair recliner.

We are first always concerned with the warranty of massage chairs. These are big ticket items and you want to be sure that you have adequate protection from the possibility of problems down the road. We always advise buying your chair from the top manufacturers because there are many cheap imports that promise the world and then just do not deliver. Human Touch is one of the best companies in the industry and has national distribution.

What is the warranty coverage of the HT 7120? Human Touch covers this model with 3 years on the structure of the chair. They cover parts for 1 year and you get 90 days labor. Human Touch offers in home technician service, but this comes at additional expense. Honestly, the warranty for this model is quite short when compared with others in this category. We are somewhat surprised with the coverage of this model, since our experience is it is fairly problem-free. On the customer service side, they are competent and turn around on issues if relatively quick.

The HT-7120 comes with a unique leg rest with a calf massager. The leg rest has two sides. One side containes the calf massager and the other is a leg rest. When the massage chair is not in use, then the chair looks like a leg rest for a normal recliner. When you want a calf massage, then simply flip the leg rest to reveal the calf massager. This unique feature helps to disguise your massage chair as a regular recliner.

The HT7120 has a stretch function. You can select full body stretch mode on the remote control. The HT 7120 will then activate the air bags in the leg ottoman to hold your legs. Then the program will start to recline the chair backwards. This action will stretch your full body. As it stretches you, more blood circulation occurs to the spine and it will relieve the pressures on your back.

We are big fans of heat therapy. The HT-7120 comes with dual lumbar heating elements. Heat therapy helps to reduce swelling and increase blood circulation. These dual lumbar heating elements target the lower back. They provide soothing heat to help reduce lower back pain and bring relief.

Now for the massage therapy of the HT 7120 massage recliner. You have 4 manual massage techniques with this massage chair. Choose from compression, rolling, kneading and percussion. Or just select the automatic program and let it cover your entire back or if you wish the upper or lower back. You can also vary the massage levels up to 7 different strengths. Find out what is right for you with the HT 7120 massage recliner.

The HT-7120 is a well designed and attractive massage chair recliner. It has an executive look to it. The oval base makes an attractive platform for this contemporary massage chair. We like the massage therapy of this chair, but would like to see better warranty coverage from Human Touch. We do like the fact that this massage recliner will compliment any room in your house. This is a solid massage chair and one worth investigating further.

Having a sauna in your home is all the trend these days. Why go to a crowded, public sauna with dozens of half naked - or completely nude and assumedly hairy - people you don’t know, when you can live it up MTV Cribs style with your very own home sauna. There are lots of different variations of saunas on the market today and it is important to think about what you are looking for and which model and style would be right for you and your home. Here are some important factors to think about.

Do you want a dry or wet sauna? A dry sauna is what most people conjure up in their heads when they think of a sauna in general. The typical wood enclosure and in the case of a Finnish sauna, hot stones you can pour water over to produce a little steam. A wet sauna is more commonly associated with the term “steam room” than a dry sauna is. Both will provide different experiences.

If you’re going dry, do you want a traditional Finnish sauna or an infrared sauna? A traditional Finnish stone sauna can provide a more authentic feel to your home sauna. The main actual difference is that a Finnish sauna works by heating the air, which in turn heats you. An infrared sauna directly heats your body and doesn’t require the use of any stones or steam. A Finnish sauna may be more expensive; both in the original purchase with the cedar wood it uses and in the long term. The higher temperatures and steam can test the durability of a home sauna.

How big does your sauna need to be? Are you looking for an outdoor, self contained enclosure or something small and portable that can fit into an already existing space?|Are there any size constraints for your home sauna? Do you need something portable and manageable that has to fit into somewhere specific in your house? Alternatively, you could be seeking a home sauna that can fit anywhere outside your home.

Do you like the idea of an entertaining, social place that can also double as a personal sanctuary? The problem is that the more patrons of your home sauna you have, the more space you need. You may want to invest in a separate sauna on the outside of your house, rather than inside.

Do you dream about having your own home sauna? If you are a do-it-yourselfer, you can build a Finnish sauna. If you want to start relaxing right away, then opt for an easy-to-install infrared sauna that requires no assembly.

When getting a sauna, you have to take into consideration whether you need additional plugs and pipes. Different saunas require different amounts of electricity and may require additional plumbing. Check out your current setup to see what is available without modification before deciding what to do.

In the end, do what feels right. There are plenty of saunas in all range of budgets that can be perfect for your needs and desires. Get something that will make you feel at home; after all a sauna is made for you to relax in.

The property damage and medical bills from accidents can be very extreme. Because driving on a regular basis can result in these accidents, it is very important that drivers are insured so you do not incur all of the financial responsibilities of an accident. Because it is so important, the United States, along with other countries have made it a law that one must have insurance coverage for each of their vehicles.

Auto Insurance is the specific type insurance used to insure automobiles. It covers any type of damage or accident that can be incurred from a moving vehicle. People buy this insurance to protect their car and the other cars they may crash in to for the entire time they have it.

It is paramount that you have insurance coverage for each vehicle you have. You can and must insure all trucks, cars, vans, and motorcycles that you own and operate. The coverage limits are very flexible, and you should decide how much coverage you need and can afford.

You can explore many different methods of insuring your car, and each method treats damage claims a little different. Because these are so different, it is very important that a buyer comprehends different claims and proposals set forth by the different companies. Always be aware of the limits that are being offered in relation to the price.

One must decide the amount of coverage that he wants, and while shopping between different companies, you must make sure that you are comparing apples to apples, or that the coverages of the agencies you are comparing are the same. Some companies offer to show you the rates of other companies, but the rates they show are for higher rates of coverage.

Many companies can give specific discounts to customers. Make sure you supply the companies with all the information you can, because companies offer big discounts for things such as being a good student and having a clean driving record. These discounts can greatly affect the bottom line.

When shopping for insurance, going to an insurance broker can often be the best option. Because they work with a number of different companies, they can often do the work of shopping through a number of different companies for you in a fraction of the time. Because it doesn’t matter to them which company they put you with, only that you go through them, you can rest assured that they will get you the best deal available.

Winter weather is quickly approaching. Being fashionable in this season means sporting classic winter coats. The pea coat is a classic, that is both traditional and always alluring.

Like most pillars of men’s fashion, the pea coat’s story can be traced back to the military. Since the eighteenth century, overcoats resembling the modern pea coat have been used by European and American naval personnel. Even today, the pea coat is regular issue to the heroic men and women of the United States Navy.

As a result of the classic pea coat’s timeless silhouette, various version designs are available at many stores. Also, since it’s a military uniform piece, pea coats can be bought from army surplus outlets for unbelievably cheap prices. If you’d like to buy a designer pea coat, most brand names sell their own versions of this stylish and practical winter garment.

Regardless of where you purchase your coat, you shouldn’t buy a style that strays too far from the classic military original. Here’s what you want to look for when you buy a pea coat:

* Good quality pea coats are composed of durable and warm wool, so be skeptical of any type of pea coat that isn’t primarily composed of quality wool for its external layer.

* Wide lapels, large buttons, and vertical or slash pockets are notable characteristics of classic pea coats.

* Your clothing should always fit you! A pea coat can seem overly bulky on a man who has a thin frame. If you have a slender build, take your coat to your local alterations shop and have them make it more fitting to your size and shape.

A well kept pea coat is a versatile wardrobe piece as it can be paired with both dressed up and dressed down outfits. Add a color popping scarf such as red or white to your pea coat and you are set to turn heads this winter season.

The roller mechanism is what provides the massage located in the chair back. There is one year coverage for parts and one year coverage for labor. You also get one year technician service for your home.

The DR-7700K is a zero gravity massage chair. Technically, zero gravity means that when you recline the chair your knees are above your heart. This position takes the pressure off of your spine and distributes it across your back. The Zero gravity position was originally developed by NASA as the safest position for astronauts when they are being propelled in a rocket out of Earth’s gravity.

The DR 7700K comes with a number of innovative features. This recliner comes with a physical shape sensor. The physical shape sensor detects when you shift your body in the chair. It will change the computer program so that the rollers will position themselves based on where you body is actually positioned in the massage recliner.

One technology that Sanyo has transferred into the massage chair division is based on lie detector technology. This is referred to as the Stiffness detector. The Stiffness detector takes a reading of your pulse and level of perspiration. From this information it can infer where your body may have tension. The massage program is adjusted to target this stiff area for relief.

The DR7700K comes with 4 one-touch automatic massage programs. These programs include stiffness, relax, recovery and fine. Each program is designed to target a specific set of benefits. You can also select from 4 manual massage techniques.

This is certainly a luxury massage chair with many advanced technological functions. Sanyo is one of the top brands and if you are interested in a high end massage chair, then you should compare this one to what is available on the massage chair recliner market.

Human Touch offers a diverse range of massage chairs. This product review will focus on the HT 1650 massage recliner. This is a high end, luxury massage chair from by Human Touch. Our review will evaluate the chair in 5 separate categories ranging from warranty coverage to ease of use to massage therapy. We then provide an overall rating, so that it is easy to compare between other massage recliners. Here is our evaluation of the HT-1650 massage chair recliner.

Warranty & Customer Service: Your long term product protection is a function of the length and breadth of the warranty on the product you buy. Big ticket items like a massage chair need to have adequate coverage to offset the money you are paying. The HT 1650 comes with the following warranty coverage: you get 5 years on the structure; you 3 years of parts; you get 1 years of labor (factory service) and in field service is covered for 90 days. The warranty coverage provided by Human Touch for this luxury massage recliner is fairly good. Customer service is through a national call center and they are pretty responsive. We give the HT1650 a 17 in warranty coverage and customer service.

Comfort & Ergonomics: Comfort is extremely important in the case of the 1650. This leather recliner is disguised as a massage chair. So if it is not comfortable to sit in, then it is a marketing disaster. Luckily, Human Touch has done its home work and has made this chair very comfortable. The material selection is fine grain leather that is nice to the touch. It has sufficient padding and the leg rest does not have any hint of a massage chair. Also, a pocket is used to store the remote and no remote holder is visible. Human Touch has done a great job with the 1650 and we give it a 19.

Ease of Use: I don’t know about you, but I have always struggled trying to program my VCR. Thank goodness Tivo has finally saved me. We are critically concerned with the ease of use with massage chairs. These chairs increase in features and functionalities every year. The challenge is to keep it simple. We are happy to announce that the HT1650 has managed this. It has a remote that uses two different faces for buttons. This keeps it small and easy to hide in the side pocket. We give the 1650 19 of the 20 for ease of use.

Key Features: The key feature of the HT-1650 is the fact that it looks like a regular leather recliner. The other key feature is 8 automatic massage programs. The 1650 has a patent protected flipping leg ottoman built into the chair. When you don’t want a calf massage, you can hide it and it is concealed in the chair. When you are ready for a calf massage, you can flip it out and it’s ready for use. Nice! Hidden inside this recliner are eight automatic massage programs that will soothe and relieve you. This chair gets an 18 for its key features.

Massage Therapy: The massage therapy is the most important element of the massage chair. With the HT 1650 you get the following massage possibilities: 4 manual massage functions and 8 automatic massage programs. The manual massage functions include: rolling, compression, kneading and percussion. The 8 automatic programs include: full body sore muscle relief, sports and back therapy, leg- foot-hip therapy, neck-shoulders relief, after work stretch, morning wake up, night time soothing, and massage demonstration. These 12 treatments give you e a wide range of options to hit all the areas and trouble spots you may have. The calf and foot massager provides a compression massage. You can target either the feet or calves. The air compression massage works by performing a squeeze, hold and release movement. This massage is very effective in removing tightness in the calves and feet. The HT-1650 earns a 17 in massage therapy.

So how does the HT1650 rate overall in this product review? In summing up the scores we rate the HT-1650 a 90/100. The massage therapy is pretty effective in this massage chair. We really like the fact that it is a massage chair in disguise. This enables you to place it in almost any room in the house. The remote is a nice slim design and tucks away into a pocket rather having a remote stand. If you are looking for a massage chair that does not look like one, then this is certainly the massage chair recliner for you.

Sanyo has an entry level massage chair called the SR-1000K. The SR-1000K has many of the same features as some of the higher end chairs made by Sanyo. This product review will discuss some of the more salient features and functions of the SR 1000K massage chair by Sanyo.

What about the warranty coverage provided by Sanyo for the SR-1000K? The SR 1000K comes with three year coverage for the roller mechanism. This is the mechanical system that performs the massage functions for the back, neck and shoulders. Sanyo will also cover the parts for one year and the labor for year. One of the more generous elements of the warranty is providing in home repair for the first year of ownership.

Sanyo has designed two auto programs which run the full massage chair with the touch of a button. These 2 programs are named Relax and Recovery. As their name implies, the types of massage treatment is geared around the name. Recovery is used after strenuous activity. Relax is more subtle and looks to induce full body relaxation and tranquility of the mind.

On the advanced electronics side of the equation, Sanyo has borrowed some technology used to make its lie detectors. The technology is used in its Stiffness Detector. The Stiffness Detector is used to locate areas of tension build up or muscle stiffness. The chair takes readings from your finger and then targets those areas for relief.

There are manual massage methods also built into the programming of the massage chair. These manual massages use one type of technique once selected. However, you can compliment the manual massage technique with 2 variations of leg stretches. Just select the type of stretch you would like and the SR 1000 will add it as part of the manual program as it is running.

One of the very unique functions of the massage chair is the leg rest massage mechanism. The leg rest can target the calves and also the feet. It has a special flip down portion that is used to massage the feet. It can be flipped up and hidden from view when not in use. You do have to position your feet to flip the portion down. The massage is pretty invigorating and can be relieving for the feet and calves.

The remote control is corded to the massage chair. It has a nice gradient light structure that shows you the intensity setting of the massage and also the roller with of the roller mechanism. The remote is well laid out and is fairly simple to use for even first time users of the massage chair.

The SR-1000 massage chair has some very good features for an entry level massage chair. It contains some of the electronics from Sanyo’s high end chairs like the stiffness detector and the physical shape sensor. The warranty for this recliner is also good for this level of chair. The design is a little funky and unfortunately Sanyo located a power box on the side of the chair which takes away from its attractiveness. We also wished they had more than 2 automatic massage programs in the recliner. But, if you are looking for a solid massage chair with some fairly contemporary styling, the SR-1000K is a nice massage chair.

Many companies use promotional products and corporate gifts to thank their users and associates for being with them. They are also an excellent marketing strategy to use as free advertising. They come in many different styles and are available in many formats.

Many of the products available are every day use items such as pens, pencils, notepads and more. These can be used as promotional items to help promote the website or actual office of the company. These can help a great deal to promote a relatively new company that needs to get known by customers around the city.

These promotional products and corporate gifts can also be sent in packages as little extras that others may enjoy distributing if your products and services are high quality. People that use pens lose them, if it has your name and someone else ends up with the pen, you win. People like to use notepads to write things down, if your information is printed on the sheets. Once other people see the memos, they may see your company name and then think about your company’s services.

Promotional materials such as pens and pencils are sort of overdone. Some companies offer electronics now, some even offer plants in engraved pots that bare the logo of your company. These can be quite expensive though and should be used as gifts rather than random promotional items. Corporate gifts might be special pen sets, clocks, radios, and gift baskets. You name it, they probably have it available for branding.

Smaller promotional items can be produced for cheaper quantities. The items that can be used as corporate gifts may have a special use as promotional giveaways and as prizes for small contests. Products that would do well for this use would be backpacks, lunch bags, or even coolers of some sort.

You can basically get anything you want on anything at all. If your business was a recycled wares business, you can actually find companies that offer promotional products that are a portion of recycled products. Getting your logo on a big item is also always fun. Make sure that it doesn’t set your company back too much.

Closing Comments

Corporate gifts and promotional products are still used quite extensively. They actually work to bring in some new customers for your business. They also help to keep some of your older customers with you.
