When in doubt, Hamer recommends going for the most standard attachment. “The most universal massage gun attachment is the one that resembles the size of a golf ball,” he says. “It can be used either vertically so it sends the massage gun vibrations into the muscle, or it can be used parallel to the muscle for a less intense vibration.”

The device has a 1-year warranty. There are many brands that offer lifetime warranties for similar or even better devices (like Urikar, Ekrin or Wodfitters to name a few), so 1 year feels a bit disappointing to be honest. Renpho is a recognized brand. Their main deal is to “ use technology to improve individuals’ well-being, health and overall fitness“. This massage gun doesn’t have smart features like an integrated force meter that tells you how much pressure you’re applying to the device or an adjustable ergonomic arm. It also doesn’t have Bluetooth connectivity, and thus none of the in-app controls that are becoming mainstays in higher-end percussive devices. Being an entry-level massage gun we expect it to be good for home use and for those always on the go and looking to have a once-in-while relaxing massage.The noise level advertised is 40-45dB, but in our observation it was 50 to 61-62 dB. This is still really quiet. Renpho could’ve done better in regard to battery. The R3 holds a 2500 mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery, which is a pretty common type of battery amongst massage guns, but the battery life is a mere 150 minutes. Bullet – This is used for pinpoint treatment and other areas like joints, palms and soles. You can also use it for a deep tissue massage. It’s made of hard plastic.

R3 Massage Gun – Renpho UK

Our Renpho R3 mini massage gun review comes to an end. One thing we loved about this massage gun is its compactness and the durable build. We loved the ergonomics as well, especially the rubberized and awesomely done handle. It sports the same type of brushless motor found in the average massage gun—it’s alright, but doesn’t come close to Theragun-level treatment. The brand doesn’t disclose the wattage of the motor nor the stall force, so it’s hard for me to speak to power. We often find that even 9mm amplitude with enough stall force can perform a percussive massage. But what’s the stall force on this one? Why We Like It: This device offers a number of attachments and speeds at an affordable price point. The Renpho R3 massage gun provides a good—but not great—massage. It has an amplitude of 10 millimeters, which means it doesn’t actually qualify as a percussive massage gun. (If you want to get technical, the R3 provides a vibration massage, not a percussive massage.)The battery is 2500mAh capacity, decent but not uncommon. It takes 3 hours to fully charge it, which is good enough in our opinion. Once fully charged, it can last for up to 80 minutes of continuous use. We’ve tried a lot of massage guns in our time—and many of them are heavy, difficult to hold, and loud. That’s not the case with Hypervolt Go 2. The small contraption relaxed our muscles, featured a nice grip, and stayed quiet enough that we could watch television or talk to our partners without having to shout over the recovery device. It’s a nice, sturdy, durable and well thought out device. We are used to seeing these miniaturized versions stripped of so much that they become a bit diminished, to say the least. There are 4 LEDs integrated in the handle that indicate the battery charge level. Another huge plus is the USB-C compatible charging. We often appreciate this because it can be quite a hassle to carry the wall charger everywhere you go. We’ve seen mini guns that don’t come with a USB charger (like the Minirex). This one is great because you can charge it on a powerbank. For massage therapy on the go, look no further than handheld muscle massage guns. These popular workout recovery tools can reduce muscle tension and expedite recovery so you crush your next tough workout. Problem is, there are just so many of these massage guns on the market it’s hard for people to choose one.
