Warranty & Customer Service: This is an important long term protection that must be factored into a big ticket item purchase. Omega provides the following warranty coverage for the Prestigio: 5 years on the frame, 3 years on parts, 1 year of shipping and 90 days in home technical service. This is the most comprehensive warranty for a mid level masssage chair. Service is quick and responsive. We give the Omega Corporation a 19 in warranty and customer service.

Comfort & Ergonomics: The comfort of a massage recliner is important, since you may want to use it just to sit. The OM-510 has a soft padded back pad and comes with a shoulder pillow and a head support pillow. Both of these are detachable. The seat is comfortable and supports the body well. Omega also includes an extra removable back pad. This is used to soften the massage if you are more sensitive. This is important as some users want a massage to be lighter than others. The chair is very well designed ergonomically. The footrest cradles the lower body well. The remote control holder is flexible and can be adjusted easily. Overall Rating for comfort and ergonomics is 17.

Ease of Use: Design of items with technical or complicated interfaces can frustrate users. We hear complaints about ease of use and this why it is an important category. We like the Prestigio with its color coded, large format buttons. The remote is laid out in a simple way with clear descriptions. The change from automatic and manual is a two button process which could be simplified. We give it a 16 for ease of use.

Key Features: The important features of the Omega Prestigio are the shiatsu massage and the reflexology foot massage. The shiatsu massage is a combination of kneading and tapping in the automatic program. The software program of the OM-510 drives the shiatsu style massage in the automatic programs. It is very effective in loosening up the back, shoulder and neck muscles. It is very thorough and penetrates deeply. The foot wells of this massage recliner have built in reflexology nodes. These reflexology nodes gently push up into the feet providing full body relaxation. The foot massage is done with an air compression massage which provides a firm squeeze, hold and release sequence. If you love a foot massage, this recliner has one of the best we have tried. Overall we give the Omega OM-510 a rating of 18 for its features.

Massage Therapy: The massage functions are included in the Prestigio includes both manual and automatic massages. The manual massage functions for the back include tapping, finger press, kneading, and Shiatsu. In the automatic massage mode select from 3 timed massages from 10, 20 and 30 minutes. You can also select from 4 back courses. These back courses focus on particular areas of the back. The manual courses include the upper back, lower back, full back and pinpoint. One excellent feature of the Prestigio is its back coverage. It penetrates the lower back or lumbar area very effectively. Much better than most massage chairs on the market today. The lower body massage is covered with an air system. It has effective coverage of the buttocks, thighs, calves and feet. Our overall rating for the Prestigio massage recliner for massage therapy is 19.
