Ever since I had Lyme disease I have issues with muscle cramps. When I saw this I quite frankly didnt think it would be great but I was desperate. What a surprise, it actually works very well for me. There are eight intensity levels although I keep it on the lower levels. There is also four attachments but I really like the one that looks like a ball. The description says it can run for two and a half hours on a single charge. I Can'tvalidate that but it runs longer than I can hold it. I generally charge it when finished so it will be ready when I need it. I've used it on my back, neck and thigh and it feels really good and relaxes those tight muscles.

This gun is claimed to be a smart massage device since the massage doesn't start until you put a little pressure against your body. You will need to take a little time to learn how much pressure to put before the gun starts. The gun works but it is hard for me to notice the variation in speed from settings 1-8. They feel similar. Compare to my larger massage gun which only has 3 speeds, I can definitely tell the difference when I changed speed. Also this gun is smaller so the massage is not as deep even when you try to apply more pressure. If my larger massage gun is a 10, I would give this gun a 7.

so I'm a massage tool aficionado. i have all sorts of manual and portable and chair massage gadgetry. i like deep tissue and shiatsu. if a gadget can satisfy my needs, i hand it a full 5 stars.this little massage gun (and i definitely say little because other guns I've owned certainly have longer handles if not also necks. does size matter? we'll get there in a second) has got to be the prettiest packaged massage gun I've seen to date. lots and lots of text presumably satisfying your inner geek. i ignored that; i tend not to read instructions, you see. a massage gun shouldn't need instructions. i pulled it out from its foam padding, added the standard foam ball attachment, and turned it on. 40% power upon arrival. nice! more than enough to play with before i send it to the charger. notable features include the fact that there are 8 speed settings (1-8), but uniquely (and i say this because i have not seen it before in other massage guns), It's got an interesting low and slow pulse before you make skin contact, and depending on the pressure you exert from the gun onto your skin, the pulse intensity and speed goes up. i'd argue that the max intensity when pushing strongly at 1 isn't that far off from the max at 8, except for less frequent pulses. that brings me to my next theory that this is a little power drill, but rather a power massage drill. y'know, on a drill, you have multiple settings for increasing RPM. similar deal here. and a fun slightly "tunable" extra oomph, depending on how much additional pressure you add in. i seem to have found a light/no default pressure, a medium, somewhat pulsing pressure, and the full monty. which do i like best? now, given the range of options, It's nice to have choices! it all depends.the light (slow pulse) and medium (medium frequency pulse) options are actually sort of nice alternatives to have to the power hammer intensity that my other massage guns already have -- which i also enjoy, of course. sometimes it can be helpful to send rhythmic intentional pulses to knots and adhesions to help break them up, aside from using the 10000000 ton jackhammer. different tools for different purposes. likely similar intentions with TENS units which deliver client-determined electric pulses to stressed areas to release endorphins and relieve musculoskeletal pain, but are quite tunable. the practitioners I've worked with all say to dial the machines to the max i can take, but along those lines, the ability to dial with a massage gun, albeit not as finely tuned as a TENS (and not exactly with the same objective, but similar ballpark), is a really nice additional tool for my chronic back pain self-care regimen.can it go high? yeah. can it go low? yeah. when they go low, we go high. yeah, that, too. something.

I'm a person who doesn't enjoy a firm massage, so I love that you can adjust the speed of the gentle mode, but this device automatically goes into overdrive (a very firm and rapid speed) when you apply a little bit of pressure to the area you're using it on. I wish that there was a switch to turn that mode off so that I could apply a little more pressure without it going psycho on me and pounding me much harder than I want. Still, it will be nice to use for sore muscles and my son likes the psycho mode, so all is not lost.

I am very satisfied with my purchase. It packs a good punch and is small enough to fit in my bag for softball so I can keep my legs loose after multiple games in one day .
