Review: HT-125 Human Touch Massage Chair Recliner

By Steve Esquire

This product review is of the Human Touch shiatsu massage chair model HT-125. The Human Touch organizaton has one of the broadest range of massage chairs. The HT 125 is a low range model with an executive chair appearance. This massage chair review of the Human Touch HT-125 takes an unbiased look at this shiatsu massage chair. Human Touch is known for their HT technology which provides a realistic massage feeling. This massage chair recliner is in the $1,000 to $2,500 price range.

With more than 30 massage chair models at almost every price point. Human Touch has a wide range of offerings. You can find Human Touch massage chairs all across the country. Human Touch developed patents protecting their massage therapy technology. They are certainly an innovator, in a field of imitators in this industry. A patented item from Human Touch is the flipping ottoman. The flipping ottoman has a calf massager on one side and a flat cover on the other. Simply flip the ottoman when you do not want a massage and the chair looks like a regular.

How good is the warranty protection of the Human Touch HT-125 massage chair? With the HT 125, Human Touch provides a below average warranty. The HT 125 is covered for 3 years structure, 1 year parts, 90 days labor. Human Touch does have in home service is available. In Home service runs for $225 for the first hour and $150 each additional hour. Compared to the industry, Human Touch provides a below average warranty protection for the customer in this range. Of course, you can purchase the extended warranty to get the warranty up to industry standards.

To be perfectly honest, most massage chairs are unattractive. On the other hand, Human Touch has a striking design with the HT 125 massage chair. This executive looking chair is perched on its oblong base. The contemporary design enhances any room and with the flipping ottoman the HT 125 does not look like a massage chair!

The Human Touch HT-125 massage chair has the following manual massages: partial roll, full roll, kneading, compression, percussion and kneading percussion. Human Touch incorporates the latest version of robotic massage which is patterned after the same techniques used by professional massage therapists. There are 3 automatic programs in the HT-125. Overall, this massage chair recliner does a solid, thorough job on the back to loosen tight muscles and ease aches and pains.

The HT-125 massage chair by Human Touch also comes with a shoulder height adjustment. The shoulder height adjustment allows the user to select from 3 shoulder types: tall, medium, or short. Use the shoulder height adjustments of the HT-125 to position the rollers for maximum comfort. Put the HT-125 in manual mode and pinpoint a specific area of your body. Let the rollers work a given massage at one specific area to relieve soreness and tension. The leg rest of the HT-125 can be used to massage either your calves or feet. The leg rest also comes with a stretch function which will perform a gentle full body stretch. The gentle body stretch of the HT-125 is helpful to improve joint mobility. To get a foot massage, the user must raise the foot rest and bend their knees and put their feet on the calf massage.

The HT 125 is an attractive executive style massage chair by Human Touch. The HT 125 is stylish, contemporary and does not look like a typical massage chair. The flipping ottoman is a great feature to hide the calf massager. The massage functions work well and the chair has the HT technology which imitates a master masseuse. The warranty is a little lacking directly from the factory, so the extended warranty is recommended for adequate protection, but of course, this adds to the cost of the massage chair. If you are looking for a solid, all around shiatsu massage chair, you will be happy with the Human Touch HT-125.
