The Best Massage Gun in 2022 & Why… After 2 Years Of Testing
Vložit

- Trying to choose a massage gun? Four factors are important: Quality, Price, Volume, and penetration depth. After 2 years of trialling several different massage guns daily at work, and asking for feedback from hundred of patients, the following massage gun came up as the best...
Which massage gun to buy? Avoid the super-cheapies ($50-70) because they rate well initially on Amazon... but then don't last without getting very loud or breaking down. And the top end massage guns (Over $200) like the Theragun, Hyperice, Hypervolt just don't give you the value for the price.
Aim for a mid-priced massage gun ($90-$140) with a penetration depth of 8-10mm. This depth of penetration is deep enough to do a great job with the muscles, but stay comfortable and not cause any inflammation. (This includes feedback I received from over a hundred patients.)
Some bigger bodied patients prefer 12mm, but very few preferred more. If you are sensitive, even 7mm is ok. (The Theragun is 16mm!)
My patients (I asked over 100 for their personal preference) AND I vote ... the Bob & Brad C2 the best massage gun on the market for price, volume, quality, and penetration depth.

Did I get it right? What do you think?
Your channel is amazing and your videos are concise. You put a lot of information in a minute and a half video without beating around the bush or clickbaiting. Just subscribed keep up the good work.
Sponsored by Bob and Brad? Theragun is way better.
I’ve tested 7 different guns including the Prime, Mini 2.0, Xiaomi, Xiaomi mini, Aukey Naipo, and two cheap knockoffs. I’ve also watched about 50 reviews.
The Mini (12mm amplitude) is perfect for anyone who doesn’t need large muscle groups deep massages. Too hard on the small muscles like the neck area, tends to bounce. Very portable, very quiet. You can use this while watching tv with the family. Feels almost as heavy as the prime. Will fit in a large laptop bag.
The Prime (16mm amplitude) is supreme for quads, glutes, calves, and on arms and shoulders and back is as effective as the mini. It will also hurt you in smaller muscles/bony areas. You can watch tv but it will be noticeable and will disturb others. Irrelevant though - you use it for 2 min and probably before exercise. Somewhat portable. Will not fit into a laptop bag but will into a gym bag.
Mid range (‘Aukey’ massage gun) has +-10mm amplitude but can hit 3000rpm so it’s perfect for the smaller muscles like neck and bony areas, and even your forehead and face. Very light and portable. High quality feel.
The Xiaomis felt very sleek and high quality. I’m sure the battery will last years and goes for hours. But ultimately the big one was noisy and much less powerful than the Aukey but priced the same (about 40% the price of the Prime). The mini is, strangely, priced the same as the larger Xiaomi but is truly feeble. Feels nice to hold but it isn’t going to do much.
The knockoffs were comparable to the mini Xiaomi but poor quality. They have tiny amplitudes so just skin deep vibrations. Stay away, trust me you’ll just put them in a drawer and forget they exist. Could be a nice present for grandma though.
I kept the Prime and the midrange, I lift weights + run and the Prime is the business… midrange is used for lymph nodes and tension relief and smaller muscles. And when travelling. Great for neck, arms. For reference I’m 177cm, male, 80kg, 12% bodyfat, 37 years old. If the mini had a 14mm or higher amplitude it would be THE ONE. Really like it but not quite effective where I need it.
So if you are thin, get the mini. You’ll love it. If you are muscular or need deep work on glutes/quads, get the Prime. If you need tension relief, get a high rpm and shallower amplitude but not below 8mm in my estimation.
Aukey has the best battery life, both Theraguns only last about 45min on a charge but it has no real impact on the experience. Couldn’t stall the mini / prime / Aukey without hurting myself. So that’s irrelevant. Hope that helps.
I love you 😘 I’m quite skinny and I was looking for a perfect massage gym and I stumbled across two very nice guns, the mini 2.0, and the relief. I watched a bunch of reviews and none of them explained it how you just did. I’m definitely going to purchase the mini now thanks to you, your an awesome person
@@TreyBall0303 Hey I'm glad it helped! You definitely won't be disappointed with the mini 🙏👍 enjoy
I appreciate your video! I just watched 3 others that were about 12 mins long and they didn't help me as much as you did in 2 🤣 thank you!
I'm so glad!
What a fantastic video without the BS in 2 min, thanks. I ordered the mini gun and X6 pro
Glad to help!
Good to know, thank you.
No problem!
I totally agree with your choice. I'm a massage therapist and use one in my practice. I think it's the best choice for all the same reasons you gave.
Thanks for commenting and giving us your thoughts louandbarb!
Thank you for the video. I ordered my T2 gun just now and cancelled my X6 pro order cus i got a much better deal for T2. And the difference between the two isn’t that much either. 😁
👍
just bought the Q2. cause i want to take it when i go out.
👍
I subscribe
Thanks!
Can you buy replacement batteries?
No
I had the Bob and Brand gun for less than a year now and it’s falling apart. When you know you will use it like every day don’t buy it
I've had a few for about 3 years. And use them regularly for work, no probs
