Been eyeballing these on Amazon for a few months now and thinking about pulling the trigger. Want a little help with my post-run soreness. Are any of the knockoff Amazon brands decent or should I pony up for an expensive one ? Any feedback or advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

NoCry massage gun is amazing and comes with a 5 year warranty. Just as quiet and strong as my friends hypervolt for less than half the price

I bought this one. Works great, no complaints. Had it 2 months and it doesn't feel cheap. Not sure what makes the more expensive ones better but I like mine.

I’ve been pleased with the theragun. Pricey but worth it IMO

Thanks for the replies fellas. Decided to give an el cheapo one a try. Taotronics is the brand. I've had earbuds from them that worked well. Paid about 70 bucks so no harm no foul if it sucks.

I've got a Taotronics space heater that I use under my desk Chinese stuff but it seems to be good quality for that tier. Let us know how it works

Im interested in possibly getting one. How effective is it in helping you loosen up before and recover after workouts?

And does it take long for it to completely massage one area?

If im forking over $200, it’d be nice to know its effectiveness.

Not a gun but my wife is always raving to her friends about how much she loves this thing

I bought a battery powered jigsaw and the massage attachments on Amazon. Use it on my calves before and after every run

Unless you buying the top tier name brand it won’t cost $200.

Mine came with like 20 attachments and was only like $80. My initial one didn’t hold a charge though. But the company was great and super quick to fix the issue.

We love ours. Best part is it gives a good massage without effort. My wife has “weak” hands and can’t massage worth a shite. So she is able to use that on my back and it feels great.

I don’t own one, but I have used one. I don’t think it’s something I would use everyday for recovery, but if I’m in a competition and I start getting tight, it’s fantastic.
