5.0 out of 5 stars UPDATED This Skeptic is now a Massage Gun Believer!
***Just got the RENPHO Heated Handheld Massager (December 2020) so I am updating my review of the RENPHO Massage Gun (from June 2020). I will indicate where updated.***I have been working out my entire life and never really bought into the whole idea of foam rollers and post-workout massage and all that nonsense. To me, you worked out, you stumbled home on sore legs and the soreness was an indication of how effective your workout was. However, now that I am in my 40s, soreness tends to linger a little longer and gains are a little harder. Not fun. Someone at my gym a few years back was telling me about the wonders of "massage guns" and it sounded too good to be true (less soreness, faster recovery, faster gains in the gym). Anyway, I tried one in a store back then and was not impressed. It just felt like a powerful massage that, for the $600+ price, was not worth it. As time passed, I read a lot about the great physiological benefits but never invested in one because they still cost hundreds of dollars. Fast forward a few years, trickle-down economics has kicked in and this year I happened to be looking at massage guns again and the prices were very enticing. There seemed to be a lot of good options for about $200 (less than half the price of what good ones used to be) and this particular RENPHO unit for less than $200.I heard about RENPHO a few years back when I was looking for one of those scales that measures weight, BMI, bone mass, etc. and all the reviews I read online pointed to them as the best value. As a shopper I am all about value. I am willing to forego one or two bells and whistles if the reviews are solid and the price is considerably less. Anyway, I bought that scale and it was (and still is) awesome and ever since then if I see RENPHO is selling something I am looking for, I get it. I have never been let down by the company and this massage gun is no different.First, you should know that this is not the type of thing you are going to use for a relaxing backrub. This can HURT. But not in a "stop, stop, stop" kind of way, more like a "wow, it's really effective" kind of way. Massage guns are for breaking up scar tissue, releasing lymphatic fluid back into your bloodstream, increasing bloodflow to the muscle and interrupting the pain cycle in the brain. At most you will use them for 2 minutes per muscle group, not 15-30 minutes like you might with a "relaxing" massager. (UPDATE: I just bought one of their heated massagers which is a better alternative for a light, relaxing, unknotting of your muscles. I will upload a pic and describe it at the end in case that's what you are looking for.)OK, second thing you should know is that this massager *really* is for people who are personal trainers and physical therapists to use on others. It even comes with a handy little carrying case (pictured) so that you can take it from appointment-to-appointment. The reason I say it's not for "solo" use is because even though you can probably target your own chest, quads and calves, you would have to be Stretch Armstrong or Plastic Man or Mr. Fantastic (these are all people with really stretchy arms) to be able to use it on your own upper back, lower back, triceps, glutes, rear delts and hams. So keep in mind you will need a husband, wife, significant other or a really good friend who is willing to help you with your DOMS for a few minutes a week. Tell them you only need them for a minute or two per muscle group and they might help you out. Other wise, bribe them by offering to use it on them. Anyway, it's a tool you need but you also need someone else to do it for you (unless you are doing muscle groups on the front of your body. (UPDATE AGAIN: Something like the RENPHO handheld massager that I just got is PERFECT for reaching your own back, butt, neck, etc. but please understand that a personal massager is not going to do the same type of thing that a massage gun does)So, with all that said, how does it work? Lots of videos out there online but make sure to know your gun tips: Flat head is for pretty much any body part, bullet is for severe areas as well as trigger points and the thick soles of the feet, the bullet is also PERFECT for getting inbetween muscles such as running it down the side of you leg where the quads and hams meet, keep in mind if you use the bullet attachment--or any to be honest--and you hit bone, it might hurt so start with a low speed and be careful, the round head is for large muscle groups and the ridge head for going up and down the spine and getting the muscles around it without hitting the actual spine. I haven't used the air cushion head but it is supposed to be for sensitive muscles. Supposedly different speeds are for different therapeutic effects but I just go with what is tolerable.What else? As with all things that have a rechargeable battery, make sure to charge fully before your first use. All subsequent uses will be limited by how much charge you gave it the first time so don't be tempted to charge it for 15 minutes, then try it. Your future standby and use-time will be limited. It's really sturdy, and heavy and STRONG. The case (not that it matters to me) is handsome-looking but more importantly, a way to keep all your stuff together.So...final conclusion? If you workout or have chronic pain issues like sciatica, YOU NEED THIS. These things used to cost $600 and now you can get this awesome little portable, cordless, rechargeable, handheld massage gun for less than $200. You'll probably need a friend or loved one for your back areas but use it on them as "payback" and they won't complain. It is NOT a relaxing back massager that you're going to use for long, relaxing massage sessions but it IS an important and surprisingly effective tool for chronic pain as well as post-workout recovery.***UPDATE DEC 2020*** Okay, so as much as I love this, I was looking for something this week for general muscle relaxation. Post-workout recovery is one thing but sometimes you get home and you have a sore neck from watching your co-workers do nothing or your back hurts from carrying the company on your back. These types of aches require something that can give you a soothing massage, not something that is like a pocket jackhammer. I picked up a RENPHO Back Massager with heat. I'm not gonna' write a review here but I will say that if you are looking at this massage gun and considering it as an option for your day-to-day pains, that might be a better option. It's great to come home and be able to use it to reach your own back and it's got heat so it's better at relieving tension. Find my review here on Bolo if you want more info. But for massage that is related to sports, workouts and chronic pain needs, I can still say six months later that I whip out the RENPHO Massage Gun at least 3x a week. It's a totally different feeling. Like I said in my original review it is *almost* painful if used right but what it does is apply pressure to a sore area, intensifies the pain for a minute and then, makes it go away. Magic. I am really sold on massage guns and I am definitely sold on this particular one. It's got all the power you need, all the heads, a lot of charge time, it is solid and it works.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great massage gun!
My chiropractor uses this gun after adjustments. It is always my favorite part of my treatment. I decided to purchase one for myself, and it has been wonderful for shoulder and neck pain relief in between my chiropractic sessions. It all to charge for a very long time and is extremely powerful. I only use setting two or three as four and five are too much for me.
5.0 out of 5 stars It is powerful, lightweight, and QUIET
I bought this deep tissue massager for myself, as a Christmas gift. This was my excuse (rationalization) to buy another massager to replace one I already owned. I bought the first one after using my son-in-law's, which was really impressive. We were outside at the time. However, after having one at home, my wife found the noise too loud to allow me to use it in the same room with her if we were watching TV. It went to live in the closet.The RENPHO is impressive. Compared to the $35 unit, it has more power, less weight, and the massage is delivered much smoother. Their design puts the on/off switch at the end of the unit, integrating it with the speed control, which is very intuitive. The attachments are easy to change, positively engage the power head, and are high quality.The 10 minute shut-off feature is probably built in for some reason, but it isn't objectionable. You can immediately restart it; I have restarted mine several times in one sitting, but the battery doesn't seem depleted nor does the massager get hot. Maybe it's so quiet that someone fell asleep using it during beta testing.It's quietness is the best feature for my wife. It's quiet, and she lets me use it while sitting next to her on the couch. I gave the older massager to my grandson, who is currently living in a college dorm room. He'll never notice the noise.
5.0 out of 5 stars This does it
Replaced a Costco Sharper Image that died after a year and wouldn’t charge. This thing has power and is quiet! It’s much smaller than other percussive massage guns I’ve seen, and design and build quality feel excellent.
Buena elección
El uso es casual, bastante bien su percusión, es muy agradable el masaje que proporciona, 10 min de uso por algunos 5 min(o poquito más) de descanso, y no hay ningún problema hasta ahora(2 meses de uso).Entrega rápida.Sí la recomiendo
Massage gun
This product has helped immensely with shoulder/neck pain. It is very well designed with several attachments for different areas. Battery life is good and it is easy to use. Excellent product.
So powerful!
The whole family loves to use this on our sore muscles. It was so great to have during planting season. It's so powerful tho, definitely try on the lowest setting first.
Buena herramienta para terapeutas y deportistas
Me encanta, fácil de usar, buena calidad de materiales, la bateria aguanta varias sesiones y es muy potente. Creo que la relación calidad precio es buena, solo habrá que ver si se deteriora con el tiempo, ya que solo lo he usado 3 semanas sin parar
Premium product
I just received it today. Initial impressions:1. Finish. The fit and finish of the product is just Great. Feels nice to touch and hold.2. Motor function: Motor protrudes from the top. It is a bit heavy so the protrusion helps bring the balance near the middle of the handle. Its a powerful and silent motor even at the highest speed setting.3. Massaging extensions: There are about 5 extensions. They also feel premium. Will update more on this as i use it.4. Massager function: In the 2 mins that i have used it, initially i was afraid that the way it is messaging, it might hurt to use it. But the the extensions are soft and are pleasant to use. More on this after some usage.
