The Omega massage chair line is known for thorough and comprehensive massage chairs. The Omega M-5000 DLX massage chair is the subject of this product review. We present a review which will rate the M5000 in 5 categories. We also score each category up to 20 points. The scores from each category are totaled to give an overall rating for the massage chair. Here is our evaluation of the Omega M 5000 DLX massage recliner.

Warranty Coverage & Customer Service: We know this is the least exciting subject of our review, but in the long run, one of the more important. Massage chairs are becoming more complex with both computers and more sophisticated movements. Although quality levels are always increasing, things can sometimes just go wrong. What is the warranty coverage for the DLX? Omega provides you with five years of coverage for structure, three years for parts and labor and ninety days of in home field service. This certainly is one of the best warranties in its class. On the service side, Omega is technically competent and issues are resolved quickly. Overall, we give the DLX a 19 for its warranty coverage and customer service.

Comfort & Ergonomics: Massage chairs need to induce relaxation. The chair must be comfortable and use of the features must ergonomic. The M5000 has ox hide leather that is very comfortable and durable. You get a head pillow and a shoulder pillow which are both adjustable. The back pad is plush and you get an extra removable pad to soften the massage. The remote is held in a cradle which is mounted on the side of the chair. The headphones can be put on the remote stand for easy access and convenient storage. This is a well designed chair and we give it an 18 in this category.

Key Features: The key features that stand out in the M5000 DLX are the lower body air massage with the reflexology foot massage and the lower back massage. The air massage system consists of an air compressor that inflates specially designed airbags. The airbags for the foot massage have reflexology nodules. These nodules stimulate your trigger points on your feet to induce your whole body to relax. The lower back massage provides a penetrating massage to the lumbar area. The DLX reaches down to the lower parts of the lumbar with deep and penetrating strokes that provide substantial relief. We give the DLX an 18 for its key features.

Key Features: Here are the two key features of the DLX. The lower body air massage system and the 3 automatic massage programs for the back. The lower body air massage utilizes airbags to massage the buttocks, thighs, calves and feet. The seat massage provides an invigorating massage of the buttocks. The foot wells of the leg rest contain reflexology nodules that gently press up into the feet to stimulate full body relaxation. We mention the 3 automatic massage programs because the actual program sequence of these massages are outstanding. The automatic massages include: neck and shoulders, full back and lower back. What is impressive is the use of many massage techniques beyond the standard kneading and tapping. There are a variety of techniques by use of fast and slow motions that are very comprehensive and very relieving. The DLX gets an 18 for key features.

Massage Therapy: Of course, massage therapy is what a massage chair is all about. Here is the run down with the DLX: 5 automatic programs, 4 manual massages, and 4 manual massage back courses. The back courses target the full back, neck and shoulders and lower back. The manual massage functions include finger press, kneading, tapping and combination kneading/tapping. You can adjust the manual massages to 3 levels of intensity. You also get an air massage system for the lower body. The lower body air massage targets the buttocks, thighs, calves and feet. The air compression can be set at either firm or gentle. The airbags have reflexology nodes that provide total body relaxation. We give the DLX an 18 for massage therapy.

The Omega M-5000 DLX is a striking massage chair and we believe it was the first to incorporate wood armrests for a nice designer touch. The warranty coverage is the best of its kind in this price range. The foot reflexology massage is excellent relief for those who enjoy a good foot massage. The automatic massage programs are penetrating, comprehensive and thorough. If you have back, shoulder or neck issues, this massage chair provide excellent relief. Throw in the MP3 music player and you have a relaxation machine that will provide you years of relieving massage therapy. The M5000DLX is an outstanding massage chair recliner and rates overall a 91/100.
