The Orion is fairly ergonomic in design. The side arm pads are fully padded and plush. They provide a back pad and a shoulder pillow which is detachable. The chair?s angle of recliner is from 115 degrees to 170 degrees. This is a great range for an entry level chair. The leg rest has a 4 inches extension range. This is good to accommodate taller people and to position the calf massager anywhere on your legs. We give the M-2 a 17 in this category.
Ease of Use: With so much technology being built into massage chairs today, ease of use is a critical concern. If a device is overly complicated, those features just will not get used. This is just a design challenge. The M-2 is well designed and the remote control is simple and easy to use. The remote allows you to choose either automatic or manual massages. Select a manual massage and focus it on a particular part of the back. The manual adjustment levers for the backrest and leg rest are easy to find and use. There is a convenient remote holder underneath the armrest to store the remote when not needed. We give the Omega Orion a 19 for ease of use.
Key Features: The key features of the Orion M-2 massage chair are the swaying massage technique and the seat massage. The Hawaiian or Swaying massage uses gentle flowing strokes to ease and elongate the back muscles. The Swaying massage starts to penetrate deeper into the muscles as it works up and down the spine. This is an effective massage to relax tight muscles. The seat massage has both vibration therapy and an eight massage head system. These rotary massage heads target the buttocks and thighs with a very invigorating massage. Add the vibration therapy and watch the aches and pains melt away from your buttocks and thighs. We give the M-2 Orion an 18 for key features.
Massage Therapy: Just how good is the massage therapy delivered by the massage chair? The M-2 comes with 3 automatic massages. These are timed massages of 5, 10 or 15 minutes. Select from 3 manual massages and select a region of your back with 3 back courses. The M2 has strong manual massages including Kneading, Swaying and Finger Press.
