The 7.1 and 8.0 share the same compact frame: 44" long, 28" wide and 40" high upright, and about 110 lbs. That makes them some of the most compact full-body chairs we sell. The 8.0 costs $600 more and adds two programs and a taller fit. The Rove is a bigger chair, with more programs, the tallest fit and the smallest wall gap of the three.
Which fits taller users?
The Rove lists the widest height range, 5'0" to 6'4". The 8.0 lists 5'0" to 6'2", and the 7.1 lists 5'0" to 6'0". If anyone in your home is over 6'0", skip the 7.1. For weight, the 7.1 and 8.0 both list 285 lbs.; check the Rove product page for its rating. The 8.0 has a 21" seat, and the Rove has a 19" seat.
Which needs the least space?
It depends on what kind of space you mean. Upright, the 7.1 and 8.0 have the smallest footprint (44" x 28") and weigh just 108 and 114 lbs., so they're easy to place and move. But they need 9" from the wall. The Rove is larger (61" long upright, 180 lbs.) but needs only 3" from the wall. Reclined, the 7.1 and 8.0 stretch to 66" long and the Rove to 71".
What do buyers say?
All three score well on our site. The 8.0 has the highest average (4.83 from 6 reviews), the Rove has 4.8 from 5, and the 7.1 has 4.5 from 4. Review counts are still small, so read the reviews on each product page. For more detail, see our WholeBody 7.1 review and WholeBody Rove review.

Standard shipping is curbside: it ships by freight to the 48 contiguous states, and the freight company delivers to a carport or first-floor entryway. From there, plan on two or more people to move the box inside, and measure every doorway, hallway turn and stair landing on the way to the room, not just the room itself. Assembly is required and can take 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the chair. Many product pages also list In-Home Delivery (inside your home, no stairs, just inside the doorway) and In-Home Delivery and Assembly; check the product page for the options and cost for your model. Once it's in place, leave the listed wall gap so the backrest can recline fully and leave room in front for the leg rest to extend. Check the owner's manual for power and outlet guidance before you plug it in. Try several programs in the first days so you can raise any fit questions early. If you return a chair, a return fee applies.
Ownership: warranty and care
- Human Touch WholeBody 7.1: the listed warranty is 3 Year Limited Warranty; the upholstery is soft synthetic leather; the owner's manual can be downloaded from the product page.
- Human Touch WholeBody 8.0: the listed warranty is 3 Year Limited Warranty; the upholstery is synthetic leather; the owner's manual can be downloaded from the product page.
- Human Touch WholeBody Rove: the listed warranty is 5-Year Limited Warranty; the upholstery is synthetic leather; the back pad is removable; the owner's manual can be downloaded from the product page.
Read the warranty terms on the product page so you know what's covered and for how long. Keep the chair out of direct sun and away from heaters to protect the upholstery, and clean it the way the manual describes. If a pad is removable, take it off now and then to check for wear. Keep the remote and any power cords where they won't be stepped on or pinched by the recline.
Honest trade-offs
- WholeBody 7.1: the starting point. Check which features you give up against the 8.0.
- WholeBody 8.0: the step up within the line. Compare its listed programs and warranty in the table.
- WholeBody Rove: a distinct design. Read its dimensions and wall gap closely if space is your main concern.
