The Sanyo DR 7000 and The Omega Montage Premier Massage Chair Comparison

By Joseph Wright

We take a look at two of the high-end luxury massage chairs available on the market today. One of the massage chair is it is manufactured by Sanyo and the other by Omega massage. The Sanyo model is the DR 7700 in the Omega model is the Montage Premier massage chair. Both of these manufacturers produce high-quality massage chairs and have national distribution. They also have many different features, so selecting between the Sanyo massage chair and the Omega massage chair can be quite a decision.

When you first sit in the Sanyo DR 7700 and it is on a smaller frame. The Montage Premier on the other hand seems to more envelop your body more comfortably. The Montage Premier can accommodate much taller users than the DR 7700. However, when people who were 5 foot one tried the Montage Premier massage chair, they thought they also fit into the chair well.

One of the amazing new features found only in the Sanyo DR 7700 massage chair is a physical shape sensor. The physical shape sensor determines the shape of your body as seated in the chair. If you move during the course of the massage, then the physical shape sensor will pick that up and redirect the massage based on your new position in the chair.

The Omega Montage Premier massage chair comes equipped with a body scan to detect key points in the back and shoulder. Each of the automatic massage programs starts with a body scan before commencing a full body massage. These massage program is adjusted based on the individual regions of the user.

The Sanyo DR 7700 massage chair also has a stiffness detection system. A mouse like device is used to read certain stress signals area it records your pulse rate and perspiration. The mouse must be held during the massage to take the reading. The stiffness detection system works with the LCD to point out the areas detected.

The Montage Premier comes with five automated massage programs. Each of the five massage programs delivers a full body massage. These programs are designed to address different types of needs. Some are more deep tissue related while others are for warm up and invigoration.

Sanyo has equipped the DR 7700 massage chair with four automatic programs. These programs also are full body massage programs. Many of these programs are fairly subtle and not as deep penetrating. This seemed to be one of the drawbacks of the DR 7700 massage chair.

When comparing both of the chairs from Sanyo and Omega, we noticed two things right away. Sanyo tends to use more electronic devices such as a physical shape sensor and stiffness detection system where as Omega tends to add more therapeutic features such as full body heat and an MP3 player.

The Montage Premier comes with lower body traction for stretching and relieving the legs and lower back. The Sanyo DR 7700 offers the zero gravity position. This position is to help take the most pressure off of the spine. Although, we liked the zero gravity position, I did not find I enjoyed the massage in the same position.

The true test of any massage chair is does it relieve sore muscles and does it relax your mind. The Sanyo DR 7700 comes with many advanced technological features. However, these features are interesting more as a novelty then as therapy. The Omega Montage Premier on the other hand, provides more therapeutic features. Slip on the headphones and play some relaxing music. Let your mind drift off as the Montage Premier deeply penetrates tired and aching muscles.

Both Sanyo and Omega Massage have built and crafted wonderful massage chairs for the high end luxury market. The tight nylon to go features of the Sanyo DR 7700 just do not compare to the therapeutic features of the Omega Montage Premier. Our experience in getting many massages in both chairs is that we felt that are both mentally and physically after using the Montage Premier. The total experience provided by the Omega Montage Premier massage chair was. To the Sanyo DR 7700 massage chair.
