What makes the Hyperice Hypervolt 2 Pro one of the best massage guns on the market? For its medium weight (2.6 pounds), it delivers a powerful massage at each of its three speeds. We appreciate that it connects to Bluetooth, and that the smartphone app has massage routines you can follow for specific body parts. Plus, this product is TSA-approved for carry-on luggage.

On the other hand, the Hyperice Hypervolt 2 Pro is pricey and does not come with a carrying case. It is also a little tricky to reach the back, and it can get loud.

The Therabody Theragun Prime is one of the most well-known and popular massage guns for several key reasons. First, it has a triangular handle that makes it easy to switch up your grip and apply more pressure without straining your hand or arm. We also like that it has a powerful motor that really packs a punch on the highest massage settings. In addition, this device has Bluetooth and phone compatibility, and the speed and battery level are easy to read on the electronic display screen.

However, the Therabody Theragun Prime is noisy at every speed, and it doesn’t come with a carrying case. It’s also a pricey pick.

If the Hyperice Hypervolt 2 Pro is your ideal pick but it’s a little too pricey for your budget, consider the Hyperice Hypervolt Go 2 Instead. This travel-size massage gun is over $100 less expensive but it still delivers a great massage with each of its speed settings. We love that this product is easy to fit into luggage, and it’s TSA approved for carry-on bags.

The downsides: This massage gun isn’t as powerful as the Hyperice Hypervolt 2 Pro, which may bother you if you are craving a heavy-duty massage. It also doesn’t come with a carrying case.

Looking to spend less than $100 on a massage gun? We recommend the iLive Portable Cordless Massage Gun because it still provides a great massage at a very affordable price. It is relatively quiet, comes with four head attachments and has an impressive six speeds.

However, the advertised four-hour battery doesn’t always last as long as four hours. The massage gun also doesn’t come with a carrying case, and the warranty lasts only 90 days.

For the ultimate massage experience at home, we recommend the Theragun Elite. We think the higher price in comparison to the Theragun Prime is justified because the Elite has more power at higher speeds. Its simplified features are also easier to understand, and the screen lights up. We appreciate that this product also comes with Bluetooth connectivity and access to the Therabody app.

On the other hand, the Elite is noisy even though it is advertised as a quieter model. The battery also tends to not last as long as Therabody claims, and a few customers have had difficulty charging the battery.

Need a massage gun that caters to every different muscle and soreness you might be feeling? If so, try the Turonic GM5 Massage Gun. It has seven different attachment heads and five different speeds, so you can get the right kind of massage depending on the area that needs extra care. We also love that this product has an impressive eight hours of battery life, so you will hardly need to charge it.

However, we wish that the on/off button were in a different location — the massage gun is easy to turn on and off by accident. It also doesn’t have as much power as similar products.

Looking for a massage gun that is easy to use, affordable and still worth the price? If so, consider the LifePro Sonic Handheld Percussion Massage Gun. Though it is less powerful than top contenders like Theragun models, the LifePro Sonic still offers an impressive five speed settings, eight attachment heads and four hours of battery. Overall, this is a great pick for seniors on a budget who could use a slightly gentler massage at home.

The downsides: As mentioned, the motor is not as powerful as competing brands. The handle may also be hard to grip if you have small hands, and the device can feel heavy if held in a hard-to-reach spot for more than a few minutes.

If you’re looking for a compact massage gun that you can bring with you on long journeys, opt for the Hydragun Atom Mini. This small yet mighty massage gun comes with three attachment heads and a sturdy carrying case that fits all attachments and chargers. The motor is also relatively quiet and delivers a smooth massage at every speed, and the aerospace-grade aluminum handle feels sleek and high quality. Plus, you can bring this device through TSA in your carry-on, though a TSA agent may ask you to remove it from your luggage so it can be properly inspected.

However, this massage gun isn’t available at most retailers. The small size can also make it difficult to reach tough spots without the help of another person, and the device has only three speed settings.

If you love Theraguns but don’t have the room for a large model, consider the Therabody Theragun Mini, 2nd Generation. Beloved by celebs like Gal Gadot, this device still delivers a powerful massage at three speeds without the noise of larger Theragun models. We appreciate that this model comes with Bluetooth connectivity and is compatible with the Therabody app.

The downsides: The triangular device is difficult to maneuver around tough-to-reach spots without losing your grip. In addition, the carrying case that comes with it is soft as opposed to hard, so your Theragun Mini may not be as well protected.

What we like about the Opove M3 Pro Massage Gun: This device packs a powerful punch, so you’ll be able to target deep, sore muscles with ease. Swimmers will especially appreciate this power for large muscle groups, like the shoulders and legs. It also comes with five speeds and six attachments, and doesn’t vibrate down to the handle. Plus, it is much less expensive than massage guns that offer similar power.

What could be improved: The Opove M3 Pro is heavy and big, so buyers with grip issues may find it difficult to use. A few customers also found that the battery lasted closer to six hours, not the advertised eight, and it stopped holding a charge after about a month of use. Fortunately, Opove has a good customer service team that offers replacement devices.

Looking for a massage gun that reaches your mid-back without you having to perform intense twists and turns? If so, try the Ekrin Athletics B37. This device has a long, angled, grippy handle that helps you reach tough spots. We also love that it has an impressive eight-hour battery and offers five speeds.

Note that this massage gun turns off automatically after 10 minutes, which prevents motor burnout but may irritate some customers. It also gets loud on its higher settings, and it can feel a little heavy after about five minutes of use.

Arthritis can make it difficult to find a massage gun that offers just the right amount of power, but the Mebak 3 is an exception to the rule. It has an amplitude of up to 12mm, which is enough to relax arthritic areas of the body but not enough to cause additional pain. We also like that this device comes with seven attachment heads and offers five speeds. Plus, the light-up screen is easy to read.

However, we wish that you could progress up through the speeds and down — you can only progress up and then restart at speed one. As with other massage guns, this device shuts off automatically after 10 minutes to protect the motor, and this feature may irritate some buyers.

Sciatica pain is common, but that doesn’t make it any less difficult to endure. If you’re struggling to relieve it, a massage gun like the Trigger Point Performance Impact could help. The small, rounded head does an excellent job of precisely hitting tight areas of muscle in the legs. The long, angled and grippy handle also makes it easier to reach tough spots like the back of the legs.

Trigger Point stands by its choice to include only one head attachment with this model since it is designed to work well for all muscle groups. Still, some buyers may prefer having multiple attachment heads. It also doesn’t come with a carrying case, and the device feels heavy after a few minutes of use.

What do you get when you upgrade from the Ekrin Athletics B37 to the B37S? It has even more power and, impressively, the same eight-hour battery life. That extra power means you can get deep tissue massages even at low speed settings. We also like that it comes with a reactive force sensor, which tells you if you are applying too much pressure at any given speed. Plus, the B37S has one additional attachment head.

The downsides: At 2.2 pounds, this device is on the heavy side. It’s also quite expensive.

While massage guns under $100 don’t have the same product longevity or motor power, they can still give you a great muscle massage. We like the TOLOCO Massage Gun because it offers a lot of excellent features for the price, including a whopping 10 massage heads, a smart LED touch screen, seven speeds and a hard carrying case.

However, this product takes a long time to charge, and some buyers found that the battery lasted only about 10 minutes when used at the highest speed. The attachment heads are also plastic, so they don’t deliver quite the punch that massage heads of similar devices do. Though the device doesn’t have a warranty, some buyers report that customer service is great about replacing parts.

What the Elefor Massage Gun does well: For under $50, this device has an impressive number of features, including 10 attachment heads, an LCD touch screen, a hard carrying case and 20 speeds. We like that it’s relatively easy to operate and isn’t so heavy that it causes arm strains when using it on your back.

Though the Elefor doesn’t have a warranty, buyers report that the customer service department is great about sending replacements for defective products, even if the problem occurs outside of the return window. Note that this massage gun also gets noisy at higher speeds. It’s also unclear how long the battery life is supposed to last, though some buyers note that it shuts off after about half an hour.
