Review of the Sanyo HEC-DR7700K Massage Chair

By Steve Esquire

Sanyo has a full line of massage chairs. The HEC-DR7700K is the top of the line massage recliner for Sanyo. We are going to make a product review and evaluation of this luxury massage chair. We will analyze and present the main features, functions and warranty coverage. Let us review the Sanyo HEC DR7700K zero gravity massage recliner.

We always feel it is important to first discuss the warranty coverage for a massage chair. Massage chairs are rather complex machines with both mechanical and electrical systems. In any complex manufactured product problems can occur. You want to make sure that you have sufficient coverage to take care of potential issues down the road.

So what is the warranty coverage offered by Sanyo for their top of the line DR7700K massage chair? The DR-7700 comes with three years coverage for the roller mechanism. 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.

On to the features of the DR-7700. The DR 7700 is a zero gravity massage chair. What is zero gravity? This is a position used by NASA astronauts when they are being shot to space in a rocket. The zero gravity position is ground to spread the weight of the individual across their back which relieves the pressure off the spine. This is a reclined position with the chair back coming down.

One of the electronic features used to tailor the massage to your body is the physical shape sensor. The physical shape sensor takes a reading to know where your body is located in the chair. If you move, then the shape sensor takes a new reading. It then adjusts the massage based on your new position.

Sanyo has also adapted lie detector technology and applied it in a novel way in the massage chair. The HEC DR7700K has a stiffness detector. The stiffness detector is held in your hand and can determine where tension is present in your body. This information is fed to the chair's computer and these areas are then targeted.

Sanyo has included four automatic pre-programmed massages in the DR 7700. These automatic programs operate the entire massage chair for thorough relief. You can select from the four themed programs named Fine, Stiffness, Recovery and Relax.

This massage chair recliner comes with heating elements in the foot wells of the chair. These heaters are designed to warm up the soles of your feet. This is especially effective when receiving the foot massage to soothe and relax your feet.

One of the more effective manual massages included in the Sanyo DR7700K massage chair is the Grip massage. The Grip massage actually works the top of the shoulders. Sanyo has specially designed rollers called GK rollers that have special capabilities to reach over the top of the shoulder for a soothing massage.

There are certainly many interesting and innovative functions with the HEC DR-7700K. The GK rollers are a nice addition and they are effective in relieving aches and pains in the shoulder area. The stiffness detector works as long as you hold the secondary remote in the palm of your hand. The remote looks complex, but is not too hard to understand and use. 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. - 16955
