This is a comparison of the Sanyo DR 7700 and the Omega Montage Premier massage chair. The Sanyo is known for its high-tech features such as a physical shape sensor and its stiffness detection system. Omega massage is known for strong effective massage therapy and a complete massage experience. Both of these brands have full massage chair lines. The Montage Premier and the DR 7700 are both the top-of-the-line for both massage chair manufacturers.
The fit of the massage chair is always important. When you sit down in both chairs, you will notice some slight differences. The Sanyo seems for me to be somewhat on the small side for a high-end chair. The Omega Montage Premier on the other hand seemed to envelop me when seated. It just seemed to feel plusher than the Sanyo. The Omega certainly could fit taller people much better than the Sanyo could.
Let’s start with an advanced feature of the Sanyo DR 7700 massage chair. This massage chair comes with a physical shape sensor. This sensor detects you are body position in the chair and will adjust the massage is the body is shifted. This helps keep the massage mechanism aligned with your body throughout the massage treatment.
Omega massage also equips its Montage Premier with a back scanning capability. The back scan will be activated when an automatic massage is turned on. The body scan commences to find the neck and shoulders and other important locations for the massage. This information is inputted into the computer and used to deliver a customized massage.
Sanyo has equipped the DR 7700 with its stiffness detection system. The stiffness detection system uses input from your hand to determine stress points throughout your body. Specifically, your hand is cupped over a secondary remote which then records your pulse rate and perspiration. This information is then used to determine where stress points are residing in your body.
Omega provides five automatic massage programs. Each of these programs is based on a particular theme. These automatic programs provide invigorating and effective massage therapy. The Montage Premier massage chair provides for deep tissue penetration and relief.
The Sanyo DR 7700 massage chair comes with four automatic massage programs. Each of these automatic programs runs the full massage chair. Each massage course is approximately 15 minutes. The massage courses range from shiatsu to gentle tapping. The massages are soothing but seemed to lack a bit in penetration.
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 Sanyo DR 7700 is a zero gravity recliner. The zero gravity position is used to better distribute the weight of the body and to relax the spine. The Omega Montage Premier does not recline as far back as the Sanyo for the zero gravity position. The Montage Premier, however, does come with a lower body stretching system. This stretching system enables you to elongate the muscles from the hips to your ankles.
When you are actually getting a massage in both chairs, you will also notice that the Montage Premier provide a much better environment for total relaxation. Just slip on the headphones and listen to some soft music to relax. Activate the full body heat to warm you up and start an automatic massage program. Close your eyes and you’ll find yourself in a comfortable and relaxing place.
In comparing the Sanyo DR 7700 to the Omega Montage Premier, we find that the Montage Premier massage chair provides superior effective massage therapy. The Sanyo massage chair has some interesting technological features, but we feel that the therapeutic features of the Montage Premier provide a more comprehensive massage treatment. The Montage Premier massage chair by Omega provides for the best overall massage experience.
Peruse the complete set of features of the Montage Premier massage chair from Omega. This massage chair provides the most complete and comprehensive massage therapy experience available. We also offer the complete line of Sanyo Massage Chairs with many high tech features. These manufacturers are the best of the best.
