$300 Theragun vs $120 Sportneer - Massage Gun Review

[@ertonyrn]

the trick is the “faster” speed on the theragun does not equal “harder” more intense massage.. by speeding up the oscillations per minute it actually causes less downward force when massaging.. the vibration almost makes ir float across your muscle. having in level 1 hurts the worst. thats a full stroke of the shaft via the motor and you feel it thats for sure vs several thousand fast oscillations which make it feel like less of a deep “thump”.

[@stevebarretto5182]

Thanks Miguel. I got suckered into the KraftGun scam, and reviews like yours helped me decide upon the Sportneer as my alternative.

[@Marcus-xf5fc]

how’s it working so far

[@MrSakoTRG]

I also didn't buy into the Theragun inflated price tag. I bought a Hypervolt clone off amazon & it was very good but after a couple of months it developed a rattle that made it louder. 8 months on & the battery is dead & won't charge. Went today to the shops & they had a Theragun Prime. It felt like it was a lot better quality & more robust! As soon as I turned it on I could feel the brushless motor was a lot better. I'll definitely be getting one soon. I think this is one of those instances of "you get what you pay for"....at least in my case.

How has the cheaper gun held up over time?

[@MiguelClimbs]

Hi there. I've had it since early September and have been using it roughly every other day. It's holding up just fine!

[@gibbsy071]

Hi since no one is asking, I will, your not keeping the theragun right, cause it will gather dust, so how are you going to get rid of it, are you going to sell it second hand, cause you can't give it back for a refund it's used, and it's not faulty right, just curious what the outcome will be?

[@MiguelClimbs]

Hi, no worries, thanks for asking. I returned it back to Amazon within the 30-day return window for a full refund. Thanks for watching my vid!

[@gibbsy071]

@@MiguelClimbs Hi thanks for reply didn't know you could send it back if it was opened and used, I was swithering between the recoverfun and sportneer, I decided to go with sportneer, because it was quick delivery and I'm impatient lol, first gun so hopefully it's good, if not it's going back lol, Thanks.

[@samuelmai172002]

Got the Theragun prime for 180 still expensive but at that price good

[@ivanah.557]

I ended up getting something cheaper too, in the middle price range. I feel the same about having a lower intensity option too as the 1st of the 5 speeds.

[@jkidd7608]

Thanks sir! I was about to pull the trigger on the Prime today. Black Friday deal is $250 but even that seems a bit steep and seeing how loud it is...just doesn't seem worth it. Still looking at the Sportneer some more. Also thought about those HyperIce ones but apparently they aren't that good and develop issues.

Got free one when bought ankle weight, hh

hello, wondering whether you'd like to try out our new-released massage gun? it's on the deal.^^

[@MiguelClimbs]

No thank you! I like the Sportneer.

Loving the production quality!

[@MiguelClimbs]

Thanks Timmy! It was fun to make.

[@kevinm1728]

Appreciate the vid, but do a video 2 years from now and tell me which one is still working. It's been my experience the Made in China stuff is ok out of the box some times, but skims on things you don't notice until later when they fail, like electronics and battery. Buy nice or buy twice.

[@MiguelClimbs]

Very true, I'll update you in 2 years!

[@paginini]

I agree with the higher price i do i always buy the best till latly some thing 2 much 2 put have ben sad 2 say a waist of money but ur right alot of times cheaper in longbrun is more expinssive sometimes not always

[@Marcus-xf5fc]

@@MiguelClimbs is it still working?

[@MiguelClimbs]

@@Marcus-xf5fc Yup, I still use it

[@graydan]

Also in two years you can buy a second Sportneer if the prices are even still the same. At that point the same money will probably buy a better gun. Thanks for the vid! Was trying to decide on which one to get as a gift (that I’ll also get to use) and Sportneer definitely seems like a great option.

[@cmoran8195]

Good review. I bought the sportneer

[@christinavega3634]

Just bought the Sportneer per your recommendation 👍

Nice! I still use mine ;) Theragun is just too baller.

Once I saw dude putting the gun directly on his C5-C6, it was over for me.

[@heloaddicted]

exactly the review I was looking for, - thanks a lot!

[@StartVisit]

use flat plastic attachment, feels better

[@iess2006]

Just bought the Sportneer Elite D9 on Cyber Monday....used part of the savings to buy extended 2 yr warranty. Hope it's as quiet as they say, will be nice for my LMT to use on me at the chiro office without drawing attention.

[@mildmannered1086]

[@swordfish1120]

I agree that the price of these so-called higher end massage guns are over priced. I've been looking for a cordless massage gun to keep in my truck so I can give myself a neck and shoulder massage before and/or after work. I just bought a mint condition Theragun Prime for $130 that looks new but even at that price I think it's a fair deal. Hopefully it will do the job and last a while.

[@rottentomato7610]

Good review mate. Seeing the top range sound levels compared to a mid level range massage gun gives me an idea of where the massage gun technology is at at this moment in time. Thanks

[@MiguelClimbs]

Thank you for watching my take on it.

[@shadowcali559]

Which one did you guys end up with ? And how do you like it? I need one for .y shoulders and back

[@MiguelClimbs]

Ended up with the Sportneer. I still use it to this day!

[@thebourbonduo3464]

You are taking a huge risk with these knockoffs, which are essentially the same design as the hyperice which is also 300$. The hyperice doesn’t compare to the theragun in my opinion. If y ou are researching these, go with the original and best. What was not covered are the specs, which he failed to mention, like frequencies, and travel distance of the heads, these cheap knockoffs do not compare, and longevity will be a factor.

[@MiguelClimbs]

Gotcha gotcha. Well put.

[@KneelBeforeZod310]

So go for the Thera gun is what u are saying?

[@johnbriscoejr9738]

Question does the sportneer stop 10 min or is it optional, meaning you can use it as long as the battery allow?

[@MiguelClimbs]

Hi John, yeah, the sportneer will stop after 10 mins if you're pressing hard into your muscles and requires a cool down period before it starts back up again.

[@johnbriscoejr9738]

@@MiguelClimbs thank you so much but overall you love the sportneer

[@MiguelClimbs]

Yeah I use it every other day. Great for the price. Theragun was just too pricey.

[@johnbriscoejr9738]

@@MiguelClimbs sooo true, not for me too pricey

[@cowscanclimbtoo]

I was able to fashion my own theragun out of a 30$ jigsaw and 10$ for an assorted set of attachment heads and it is _still_ going strong to this very day. Would highly recommend if you're on a budget!

[@NikephorosPhokas]

A jigsaw is way too powerful - it rattles your bones. You don’t know what you’re talking about. My bro did that(modified a jigsaw) and it doesn’t compare to a Theragun. It’s too much so no one wants to use it.

[@federicogianga]

Hey! thanks for the video! What do you think about selling the a massager without a way of using it while connected to the power supply? I'd like to buy the Theragun Pro but the fact that knowing that in the future eventually the battery will die, it makes me doubt about purchasing it, because they can decide to stop selling you a battery, and we would have to buy a newer model of it. Thoughts?

[@MiguelClimbs]

Totally agree. Not only is it contributing to e-waste, but it's a money grabbing sham on the part of Theragun.

[@newnormalneedstv7632]

Wow, that's a nice massage device. Great review as well...

[@jvxro5346]

Hey What about now ? Did u used it all the time and can u still recommend it?

[@MiguelClimbs]

Hey there. Yup, it's been months later and it still works just fine. I use it about 2x per week after gym sessions. My favorite head attachment is now the flat one that comes with the gun. Hope this helps!

[@jimmytheclean]

great video dude, nice comparison.

Thanks, Video was perfect!

[@TheRadDabber]

I got a pair of cheaper ones a while back. They're not bad, but sometimes they overheat after prolonged use and I have to wait for a bit to use them again.

I am wondering between prime and higher models because of their power. Do you think the power of the prime is enough? Did you manage to stop it during a massage?

@Marcindodo I think the power of the Prime is definitely enough. I never managed to press hard enough to stop it no.

Theragun all day!! I have the pro and the mini! They have been lifesaver! On my feet for majority of the day and theragun makes it manageable.. I’ve tried friends other percussion guns from Amazon ones to the hypervolt and none compare to the theragun! Recovery and the well being of your body and mind shouldn’t have a price tag! Imo

[@rayrayrun]

This is such a coping statement. Save your money everyone. There's a ton of alternative out there's that's can cater to the 90% people

[@crazybutter8554]

I have two guns. The theragun and a much cheaper one. My vision on this? In pretty short: Only the theragun can work on deeper/dense muscles like the glutes, quads and lower back. But for nearly all other muscles the cheaper one suffices more than enough. The handle of the theragun is a huge pro though, but I would still prefer another cheaper one, as they seem to go faster, thus heating the muscle more.

[@crazybutter8554]

Oh and yes, I want to add: for bodybuilders of size the theragun would be a better choice.
