Of all the massage guns on test, this product stood out because of its non-slip, detachable, angled extension handle that makes it very easy to reach (and apply pressure to) the mid back areas as well as the lower back region and the neck. Meanwhile, legs, chest and arms can be targeted by removing the extension.

The four massage heads (ball, U-shape, bullet and flat) are well designed, and the gun delivers five intensity levels, which are easy to control and change and are clearly represented on a large display. We also really liked the auto mode, which cycles up and down through the intensities, depending on how much pressure is applied.

This massage gun is incredibly quiet in operation, great value and the manufacturer has also managed to keep the weight down, which only adds to the tool’s overall usability. This battery-operated gun is the least powerful on test, with only two settings (high and low), but it’s so light and its ergonomics are actually very good. The four heads weren’t fiddly to change and the design made it very easy to apply more pressure when needed.

This model is well suited for anyone who’s after a little distraction from aches and pains rather than going full tilt to relieve intense exercise-related soreness and stiffness. It would also suit the elderly, who might not want to wield one of the larger models.

The fact that this gun’s speed settings are in a lower range of PPM (1,600-2,800) means it’s particularly suited to get the muscle recovery process under way after a workout, so keep it in your gym bag and give yourself an impromptu changing room session to lessen the effect of DOMS in the coming days.
