BONDIR R2 PRO Massage Gun - Articulating Deep Tissue Back Massager with Extension Handle and 7X Heads Including Heated Attachment

Product Information

The Relief is lighter and does feel a bit more plasticky but doesn't seem like it will break easily. This massage gun has a curved neck that can adjust into five positions, but it was hard to move—we had to either use two hands or brace the device against the body and adjust from there.

Also, it seemed to skip when pressed against our hamstrings, creating a less than satisfying massage experience.Supervising editor Ingrid Skjong is a certified personal trainer ( The National Academy of Sports Medicine) and previously covered fitness at Wirecutter. If you want a massage gun that isn't expensive but has the features of a high-end one (minus the app function), the Renpho R4 Pro Massage Gun is a solid pick. Whether you're an athlete looking to speed up your recovery time or simply seeking relaxation and stress relief, a massage gun may be a great addition to your wellness routine. Controls: We looked for intuitively placed control buttons that we could access easily during a session (ideally with one hand). Noise: Massage guns are known for their loud vibrations, therefore we observed the level of noise generated by each massage gun.

It is quiet at its slowest speed, but we had trouble hearing a TV show while using it on its highest setting. The battery lasts three to six hours and consists of five speeds ranging from 1,200 to 2,800 revolutions per minute. Attachments: We looked for a variety of attachments, which helps you access a diversity of muscles more easily and comfortably. If you want a reliable massage gun to take to the gym or while traveling, look no further than the Bantam.WIRED may earn a portion of sales from products that are purchased through our site as part of our Affiliate Partnerships with retailers. Hard Round: Designed for precision, the Hard round attachment is constructed from high density foam for impactful, targeted relief. And Therabody is a well-respected brand that has a wide range of recovery products, so you know you're getting a top-notch massage gun.

Stall force: This indicates the amount of pressure (in pounds) that you can apply to the device during use before the motor stops. The four, hard-plastic attachments felt cheap—the flat version had a small but sharp irregularity—and its overall iffy quality knocked it out of contention. But to check the integrity of the motor, we ran the device unattended for 15 minutes straight at various speeds and noticed just a bit of warmth. The Theragun Prime sounds like a small power tool when it turns on and remains relatively noisy; we had a hard time simultaneously watching TV and tending to our hamstrings.

This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. The power button has a panel that reads the four speeds (ranging from 1,200 to 3,200 percussions per minute) and the battery level. The company says this massager uses Rhythm Therapy based on vibroacoustic science and offers a wider frequency range and lower amplitude than other massage guns. I like the breathwork feature that walks you through deep breathing via the LCD screen, paired with a heart rate sensor.
