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.

The DR-7700 is made by Hitachi Electric Company and the warranty is covered by Sanyo. The DR-7700 has a 3 year warranty for the roller mechanism. This is the mechanism that provides the back massage which has motors and roller arms. Labor is covered for 1 year. Parts are covered for 1 year. In home technician service is available through Sanyo and they will cover it for the first year.

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.

The DR 7700K comes with a number of innovative features. This recliner comes with a physical shape sensor. The physical shape sensor detects when you shift your body in the chair. It will change the computer program so that the rollers will position themselves based on where you body is actually positioned in the massage recliner.

One of the electronic marvels contained in the DR 7700 is the Stiffness detector. The stiffness detector is a derivative of lie detector technology. It reads your pulse rate and your perspiration level. It senses changes in these two parameters and then correlates where tension and stiffness may reside in your body. The massage is then tailored to relieve these areas.

The DR7700K comes with 4 one-touch automatic massage programs. These programs include stiffness, relax, recovery and fine. Each program is designed to target a specific set of benefits. You can also select from 4 manual massage techniques.

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.
