I have a knee pain and I got this knee massager, I’m really impressed. The combination of heat and vibration feels so soothing and really helps with stiffness and knee discomfort. I love that there are three heat and vibration levels to choose from, so I can adjust it depending on how my knees feel that day. The cordless design makes it super convenient. I can use it while relaxing at home, sitting at my desk, or even traveling. The straps are adjustable and keep it comfortably in place. It is a great product that delivers both comfort and relief!

The media could not be loaded. I am a big fan of massage guns and have used many different brands including hypervolt, timtam, modified loud jigsaw types that are embarrassing to use, etc. My favorite piece so far is Medcursor MG01 due to its simplicity, small size, great power, solid build quality, and quiet operation. I really think it is the gold standard of most bang for the buck. So, when I saw this MG03, I decided to try it and compare against my current favorite since the wife keeps “borrowing” mine. Functions & usability: The MG03 is packed features compared to MG01. It has three modes- fitness, medical, and health. Fitness mode keeps the RPM constant while the other two modes are variable to mimic realistic hand pressure or to keep a lower speed. I personally however use the fitness mode mostly and enjoy the medical mode if using only in one area for an extended period. The LCD screen is sharp, bright, and elegant displaying battery life, current RPM, massage mode, and time used. The touch sensitive controls are conveniently placed right underneath the screen. I was worried at first that the buttons might change settings if I put my palm against the screen to apply more pressure. To my surprise that was not an issue at all! I am still not a fan of touch sensitive buttons and prefer only one physical button for all functions on the side like MG01 for ease of access while using the gun. There is also a physical on/off switch at the bottom of the massager, and though it is redundant, it is good to have to not accidently turn on the massager. I wish there was a way to combine the mode button with on/off function and place it on the side. Heat Function requires separate charging and limited to the flat attachment only. Though it is nice warm feeling on bare skin, you will not feel anything with clothes on, and takes couple of minutes to properly heat up. I can see folks using it in combination with Health mode for great relaxing massage session, but just not worth it for me who is always in a hurry and prefers the rounded attachment. Build quality: Definitely built with very higher standards than most other brands I have used and has bit of a premium solid feel to it. While the MG01 has rubberized feel to the plastic grip, the MG03 uses actual rubber grip on the handle. There is no chemical or rubber smell, and the box was dare I say, better than what $300 guns come with. The MG03 is much heavier than MG01 and feels top heavy. The added weight can be a good thing to reach deeper tissues, but bad if you travel with your massage gun. I like to use my own strength to reach deeper muscle groups anyways, so the weight does not mean much to me. The attachments are built well, and more premium that the MG01. I prefer the ones on MG01, especially the stainless-steel ones that works well for my wife and easier to keep clean. The heat attachment is made of plastic and there is the flat attachment that you won’t find on MG01. Power: Trust me, you do not need more power than this, regardless to how big of a Hulk you think you are. Anything stronger can cause tears and bruising to your muscle tissues and fibers. Those loud modified jigsaw types you see on amazon that claims to be better, are not. This has plenty of power with a brushless motor which should technically last a lot longer than other massagers. In comparison to MG01, this feels like it travels bit further and is more powerful, as a result, slightly louder as well. Not enough to make a difference to most people but watch my video comparison and you be the judge. Battery life is something I cannot comment on because I never seem to run out of charge on either MG01 or MG03. I charge them once every few days anyways even though I have not seen them go below 50% yet. Charging is much faster on MG03 given the higher voltage charger included in the box. Overall thoughts: For little extra money you get a lot more features and power on the MG03. However, I can’t seem to put a price on portability and simplicity of MG01. I think MG01 has earned its right to stay in the gym bag, while MG03 is my new favorite that belongs at home for the entire family. Read more
I truly wanted to like this knee "massager". I've had knee surgery and knee pain for years now and I was hoping this would give me some relief. First off it's completely oversized. Even when I strapped it as tight as I could it still did make full contact with my knee. I tried multiple positions and nothing worked. Second the "massage" is just vibrations. It doesn't have any rollers or anything to really massage your knee. Not to mention it's so loud! Lastly I felt no heat at all even on the highest level. I was expecting to feel something, but I didn't feel anything and this was on bare skin too. The "massager" provided me no relief. Don't waste your money like I did. It doesn't relieve knee pain.
