Really pleased at my initial impression. If I don’t update the review, than my opinions are unchanged. Great build quality, with a very solid feel. I borrowed a friend’s massage gun, and became sold on the benefits, especially for sore muscles and joint areas. His was about 1/2 larger and sells for $35 on its perpetual sale, but shows as about $100 for normal price. Without a doubt, this massager is better. I prefer the more compact size, yet stronger massage and greater head travel. It is also significantly quieter. I can use this while watching TV, and NOT adjust the TV volume. I found the loaner to be hard to use watching TV, even if turned up. I also see now that I prefer the 5 gear speeds/power steps, to some model’s and my friends, 30 steps. It becomes more of a chore to adjust the intensity. When you spread the 2000 additional revolutions over 30 steps (starting at usually about 1000 at level 1), your talking about a pretty imperceptible difference per step. This massager decides the into 5ths, and it is perfect IMO. I also like the inclusion of a couple of stainless steel heads for use with massage oils. Very nice and useful feature. The case with this is very nice, and has a nice feel of rigidity. I think it is very much worth the price premium for the quality I can see between this and the cheaper one (which didn’t even have a case, so my friends keep it in the product box - not very convenient). The $20 bill for scale.

This is wonderful! The 5 speeds are all that’s necessary. Our family uses it several times a week and it really helps relax tight muscles and relieve minor pain. We don’t have any major pain, so I cannot address that. We have had it for 6 months. The battery charge lasts a good long time. I highly recommend this.

So glad I spent more money and bought an excellent massager. This thing is professional quality. Substantial weight and feel, easy to change heads. Charges very quickly. Very nice carrying case, easy to use. 5 speed settings, led battery indicator and speed level. Wish I had bought it sooner! This is a prime example of 'you get what you pay for'.

I’ve had this massager for about three weeks. I use it almost daily and have only charged it once, so great battery life.Really good variety in intensity between the different levels. I use it to recover from running. It’s great for relieving pain/soreness in calves and feet.No issues with the power button like others have mentioned. I actually found that you can turn it off by just holding the power button for about two seconds (similar to how you turn it on) instead of cycling through all the intensity settings. Not sure why that wasn’t mentioned in the manual.

I am so impressed with this massage gun. I am someone who struggles with PTSD, it makes it hard to go to someone to get a massage. This is a perfect way to pinpoint all of my stressed muscles without needing someone to touch me. This is the most relaxed I have felt in a long time. The quality is great, it has mutiple settings, and the bag is handy. I can't remember a time where my neck wasn't sore. This took care of the issue right away. Best purchase ever!

Using this massage gun is now my everyday routine. 10 min cycle - my muscles relax and I feel so much better after a long working day. The gun has 7 types of heads for each body part. I like the big head (for large muscles) to go through all my body, then I use the head for trigger points on my back and finish my massage with the slingshot head on my neck and shoulders. I feel so fresh and cheerful after that, ready to go out with my family instead of sitting at home. You can also choose the intensity, the gun is very powerful, but I don't usually go more than 4th level. Another plus is the case. It's stylish and feels quality.
