Massage Chair Review of the Sanyo DR7700K Massage Recliner

By Steve Esquire

This review will examine the best massage chair produced by Sanyo. That is the Sanyo HEC-DR7700K massage chair recliner. Sanyo is known for many of their advanced electronics and this massage chair has quite a few. We will present the more interesting features and functions. Here is our evaluation of the Sanyo DR7700K massage chair recliner.

As with any electronic device, warranty coverage is always an important part of the purchase. You are putting out your hard earned money know for a product that is designed to last you a long time. The warranty coverage is your protection that the product is made as designed and will be there over the time frame in which you purchased it for.

With that said, let us take a look at the warranty coverage offered by Sanyo for the HEC DR7700K massage chair. Sanyo offers the same warranty coverage for all its massage chairs. They cover the roller mechanism for 3 years, 1 year labor, 1 year parts and 1 year in home technician service. The parts and labor are quite short for a high end luxury massage chair. The 1 year in home service is very good.

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.

An interesting electronic feature is known as the physical shape sensor. The physical shape sensor will monitor the position of your body. As you move, then the physical shape sensor checks your body position. This new information is relayed to the computer and the massage program is altered to account for 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.

The HEC-DR7700K comes with a variety of massage treatments and functions. The massage therapies are effective with the GK rollers. The GK rollers are designed to reach out over the shoulders. These rollers are able to come over the top of the shoulders for a soothing and relaxing 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. - 15266
