About this deal
The Dacorm Deep Tissue deep-tissue massager comes with 12 interchangeable heads. In addition to the standard round, flat, and tapered heads, you'll get a spade, a semi-circle, a fan, a mushroom, a gyro, a claw, and a U-shaped attachment. This percussive gun is also incredibly quiet, with a working noise level of about 40 decibels. The battery is exceptionally long-lasting, too, running for up to 15 hours on a single charge.

I recommend any massage guns that can get into a high-frequency, low-amplitude setting, which just means it has a high amount of vibration," says Mitro. When shopping around, you'll find options with varying speed settings, with options going as high as 3200 RPM (revolutions per minute). "It's always good to try it out before you buy it to make sure it can vibrate enough to do its job." Features Need something to bring on the go? The compact Theragun Mini measures 6 x 5 x 2 inches and weighs less than one and a half pounds. Though it only comes with the standard ball-head attachment, this travel-friendly massage gun offers percussive therapy with vibrations as fast as 2400 RPM. It also comes with a soft carrying case for easy transport. Our tester felt equally safe and comfortable while using the device on the upper and lower body. While the handle is ergonomic and easy to hold, our tester did not appreciate that it vibrated on higher settings, which made for a more difficult grip. But this slight inconvenience did not take away from the massage gun, our tester said. Imtiyaz S, et al.

The motor is quieter than anticipated, despite its heavy-duty design—a bonus for those in communal living spaces. Plus, detailed instructions are included with the device, which helped our tester figure out the massage gun's controls.Throughout testing, testers noted the time of day, duration of use, and any special features, such as additional attachments, Bluetooth connectivity, app compatibility, and more. But she did note that a longer battery life and carrying case would have been appreciated. Although it’s a small and easily portable device, these factors make it less than convenient for on-the-go use.
