Comfort & Ergonomics: This category is about how well the massage chair is designed with comfort and fit to your body. These elements are important keys to relaxing while in the chair. 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: A product needs to be intuitive and easy to use for consumers. The remote control is simple. It has full controls for the back, seat and leg rest. The remote also controls the calf massage, seat vibration and seat massage. Select from 3 timed auto programs and 3 back courses. The M-2 has a manual leg rest and backrest adjustments. The manual levers are in places that are easy to access, but it takes a time or two to get used to. The good thing is the hydraulics on the manual leg rest and backrest raise them, so the user only has to lean them back. Our rating for this massage chair recliner is' in this category.

Key Features: The features that differentiate one massage chair from another are reviewed in the key features category. The Orion massage chair features a Hawaiian massage which provides a flowing, swaying motion. The swaying massage motion is performed by the back rollers and provides good back coverage. The M-2 comes with an eight massage head system built into the seat for the buttocks and thighs. The massage heads are on a rotary mount. They provide thorough therapeutic relief.
