05 Oct 09 Repose R600 Massage Chair Review

We are quite excited by the outstanding chairs being offered by Repose. But, having included them recently and without enough experience with the manufacturers, we don’t think it is justified to offer them the same kind of ranking as is normally reserved for manufacturers who have had enough time to prove themselves. Nevertheless, the Repose 600, because of the features offered in that price range certainly keeps it a notch above the rest of the chairs.

Let me start with the features of the R600. Music being my favorite, requires that I make a mention of MP3 player at the outset. Like some of the more expensive Omega chairs, Repose has integrated an MP3 player and programmed the massage to go with the beat. Music of its own is known to relax you. Now, imagine the heightened relaxation one could have with massage being synchronized to music!

The other feature that relaxes your body is heat. This chair delivers heat to your feet and lower back. So, it’s not only music but also the dual combination of music and heat that makes you really comfortable.

It’s amazing indeed that the Repose 600, being so reasonably prices could go to include a high-tech feature like body scan. This feature enables the chair to scan your body type to adjust itself as per the expected requirements.

And while delivering the high-tech features, the Repose doesn’t overlook the needs of basic functions. It has all the basic functions that go to include roll, rock and vibration. And, it combines all these functions with four programs that can be automated to: Gentle, Relax, Enliven, and Repose while offering you the liberty of manual adjustments too.

Here, have a look at its affordability. It’ll be difficult to find another chair with the kind of features offered by Repose at the price it sells for. It’s priced about $300 less than the Omega 510, yet incorporates the same foot massager as the Omega does. Well, Omega may well argue that its foot massager that includes the pressure point technology is decidedly better, but a difference of $300 in price would encourage a buyer to seriously consider having the Repose.

Though there is nothing exceptional about warranty, yet it’s not bad either, with a three-year warranty for parts and a one-year labor warranty to cover mechanical defects and workmanship.

We have no reservations in highly recommending this chair and could have ranked it still higher but for our limited exposure to the manufacturer. Another factor that comes in way of offering a higher rank is our rating system that attaches more important to the treatment that the manufacturer gives to its customers. Once we have gathered data on that front, we shall definitely revise this ranking. Till such time, Repose is an excellent value for your money.
