About this deal

However, despite its many advantages, we feel that Theragun Mini 2.0 still falls just short of the Bantam in terms of overall value: Despite its compact size, it has everything its bulkier counterparts offer, including five different massage heads, with each one designed to target a different muscle group. It also scored top marks for ease of use – there’s just one button for speed control and a handy manual that explains what each head is for and how to use it. It has a rather unique shape compared to the rest here. It’s a rounded shape that’s more oval than anything else. Obviously being a smaller gun you’d expect some compromises. That’s why the stall force is 35lbs. and not 56lbs. like the bigger guns. Still this is very impressive power for a mini massage gun. It also has a respectable amplitude of 10mm – you won’t need more. Unlike the Theragun mini, we didn’t have any mixed feelings with this one. It doesn’t have any clear advantage(s) over the others. At least the Theragun gave us the unique design and a 12mm amplitude. We’ll share some points about how we feel:

With massage guns, big is often better. At least if you really want to get results. But small is just as good if not better. They will not give you intensive percussion therapy, but they will offer you just about enough to keep you going. They will work to: The battery is nice, with 2500mAh capacity, so like in a full-size device. You easily get about 2 hours with a single charge, maybe more if you don’t apply much pressure. To top it all up, it’s very convenient to charge it because, instead of a dedicated charger, it comes with a USB-C cord. Rpms are impressive as well, running at 2000-3200rpm with 3 gears to separate the intensity. This is standard percussions range for most guns in this category, but it feels slightly more stable. We’ve verified the percussion range using our laser tachometer device.They also don’t get any points over any of the others as far as portability. It’s worse really, no pouch, no case, nothing! Smallest devices, which we like to call as mini massage guns. These are Ekrin Bantam, Lifepro DynaMini, as well as the Bob and Brad Q2. The R3 is also surprisingly quiet at 51-62 dB of noise. Renpho chose to give their customers something that’ll give them peace of mind. Many minis don’t come close. It has 4 speed gears which we think is just enough. The build quality of this mini massage gun is equally impressive. It not only feels durable, it is durable: we’ve had it with us on a number of hikes, and even though we accidentally dropped it a few times, nothing bad ever happened to it. This is part because of the sturdy, and slightly rubberized plastic it’s been made of, and part because of how well it’s been put together. Ekrin Bantam is tiny, light, and durable – great travel massage gun.

Not really a unique design – tons of guns look the same i.e. it borrows a leaf from Ekrin’s design book as far as the ergonomics go. Number of attachments: One or two attachments on any device just isn’t enough for us. Get a device that has at least 4 attachments. This gives you more options to massage different parts of the body.

The best massage guns for 2023 are:

But perhaps that’s just about the only great thing about a mini percussion massager will give you. Unlike their full-size counterparts, the mini massage guns; You better believe we were eager to lay our hands on their mini massage gun. The Bantam is a darling to us here.

Charging format: A versatile charging format, such as USB-C, is really handy too, because it means you can plug the unit into your phone charger. And with a lifetime warranty and a 20% discount (which you can get if you use the MGA20 coupon), the Bantam is the clear winner when it comes to quality and value for the money. Speed levels: The speed with which the head of the device pounds against you is measured in percussions per minute (PPM). About 2400 PPM is about as intense as most people will want to go, but one of our best-value recommended massage guns goes up to 4800, very much the “up to 11” of the massage gun world. For starters, the stall force is about 25lbs. At least that’s how it felt to us (Renpho does’t list it anywhere). The amplitude is 9mm, which is reasonable for a mini massage gun because most range between 6-9mm. It has 1800-3000 percussions per minute. To be fair we always had mixed feelings about the first generation Theragun mini, which is still available at a reduced price. On the one hand, being a premium product it has some unique features. We’ll call those:Battery and Charger: A good battery means a good product. Convenience in charging, e.g. via USB, is a plus for us as well. In other words, when you get the device rev at 3200 hits per minute, it will continue rev as fast even after pressure is exerted (due to high stall force).

Even though you may not get as intensive massages as the regular sized guns, it’s important that your choice will serve your purposes just as well. Here are key things to pay attention to as you make your choice: Powerful, easy to use and affordable, our expert tester was blown away by this sleek little massager. In fact, the longer the stroke (amplitude), the slower device will percuss. For example the Theragun Mini may have only 2400rpms but it makes up for the reduced speed with a 12mm long stroke. On the other hand, Ekrin Bantam has ~20% less amplitude, but revs up to 3200rpms – a whooping 800rpm difference.However, that’s just about the pros that this gun has over the others. Otherwise, there are plenty of cons in comparison with the Bantam, or even Theragun Mini 2.0: It has a disappointing stall force of only about 12-15 lbs (our estimation). It stalls very easily, unfortunately, and it’s feels very underpowered compared to all guns on this list (maybe except of the Dyna Mini, but Dyna is like 30-40% smaller) Among the six interchangeable heads HoMedics includes with its Pro Physio massage gun are a ‘heat head’, which you can set to heat up to 47˚C in less than two minutes, and a ‘cold head’, which you can keep in the freezer. For many, these will make all the difference to training and everyday comfort. The device is also mercifully quiet, and glides smoothly over your skin or clothes, whichever head you use (barrel, ball and arrow are all included, as well as cellulite, hot and cold). Bantam comes with the case, Theragun mini with the pouch. Hypervolt Go and Go 2 don’t come with any of these.
