I bought this massage gun almost exactly 3 years ago, and have used it religiously since then. It has never once failed, still remains as powerful as it was out of the box, and the battery life has not degraded at all; I once left it off the charger for a month and it still had plenty of juice for a recovery session afterward. It puts just enough pressure to give relief without causing discomfort, and I can use the device on specific muscles for minutes at a time without feeling sore or fatigued after. My only minor gripe is that after years of use, the heads have worn to a level where they will sometimes fall out of the massage gun after 10-20 seconds without direct pressure when the gun is set to higher speeds, but other than that I have no complaints. Well worth the money, does everything a much more expensive device does for a fraction of the price. Read more
One of the best purchases I’ve made in awhile. I’ve had chronic pain for half my life now and have found very little outside of deep tissue massage that helps ease my pain. This massager helps. While it’s not as good as a real massage, it’s the next best thing if you’re unable to afford massages. I’ve owned the first model of the Pure Wave percussive massager and a couple of cheaper vibrating devices. None were powerful enough to dig deep and offer much relief. This Medcursor provides enough force to reduce muscle tension and trigger points. I use the strongest setting mostly, though the second strongest setting is good for when watching tv without as much noise interference. My wife prefers one of the middle settings. I was also impressed with the aesthetics of the device, the tactile feel of the handle, the attachments and the lesser noise that other massagers I’ve owned have had. The case is also very nice. Small gripes: it would be nice if there was a way to cycle the strength settings up or down. This device requires you to cycle through them in order to reduce the strength. Not a huge problem but it would be more convenient. Also, it would be nice if there were some softer tipped attachments that could be used over bony areas (knees, head, jaw). I have achy joints that I’d love to be able to use the device on. While the round attachment is slightly soft, it’s a bit too hard to use on bone. A softer foam or rubber tip would be great for that. In addition, I experience a bouncing effect if I use the device over certain areas of the body (usually when I hit a bone). I’m guessing this is something that is experienced with any percussive massager (it happens with my Pure Wave massager as well) so it may not be remedied. A softer attachment might help with this though. The last mention is I notice a slight rattling sound (other than the normal vibration hum). While it’s not overly annoying, it would be nice if it wasn’t audible. All in all this is a fantastic product. I’m not sure if cheaper options work just as well, though I find this to be a good product that is fairly priced. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a mid priced, high quality, relatively quiet percussive massager. I ask the manufacturer to consider offering soft head attachments that users can purchase separately. Read more
This is the massage gun to buy. It may not be for everyone but it exceeded my expectations. I’ve owned ijoy massage chairs, neck massagers, shoulder massager, and full body vibrating pads. Non of them come close to the versatile and spot on massage this device can deliver. The down side is that you can’t really massage your own back. It can be done but it won’t be comfortable. you can rig the gun in place or it would probably be easier if you just find a partner. This gun is relatively compact and quiet compared to similar massagers. The gun feels substantial and quality made. The battery lasted 3 hours in 1 hour sessions with no problem. It can probably keep going but I’ve decided to charge it so it won’t run out in the middle of a session. The 5 speeds will accommodate most of my needs. I like a strong massage. The 4th speed is more than enough for me. The fifth speed is just there to punish yourself if you so desire. If you come back with bruises, don’t tell me I didn’t tell you so. At $99, I feel like I’ve got a bargain compared to what the competitors are offering and asking. I doubt that this price will last long. Get it and thank me later. Read more
After a small issue with our first unit (it didn’t hold a charge), we exchanged it, and the new one has been fantastic. It holds a charge well, lasting through multiple uses, which is a big plus for us. We love the variety of head attachments—they’re great for targeting different muscle areas. Our kids even enjoy using it, and it’s become a popular tool for the whole family! I suppose one critique we have is we slightly wish the vibration felt deeper instead of just faster at higher speed. Overall, it’s helped a lot with tension in my neck and shoulders. Highly recommend! Read more
