The Standard Ball Head: This one is the universal attachment. It can be the semi-soft one and can massage the entire body.
Stall force is the gun’s ability to withstand pressure without stalling. When you need a deep tissue massage 2, sometimes you have to press the gun against the muscle. The old Theragun mini (we’ll call it mini 1 from now on) is still one of the most recognizable mini massage guns out there. The unique triangle shape makes it stand out. It’s the shape consistent with Therabody’s design language. There are three LED lights positioned next to the power button that signal what speed setting you’re on, and there are three colors to indicate the battery life. Green means it’s fully charged, Blue means the battery is at 50 percent, and Red indicates it’s starting to die. Each full charge takes about 90 minutes, and a full battery offers 120 minutes of use. It comes with 4 excellent-quality attachments, and a hard carrying case. The new mini only has a pouch.It means you can now connect it to the Therabody app and use the guided routines and the custom speeds. Even though this is not a must-have option (you can learn the routines on YouTube), beginner users can learn different massaging techniques. Therabody App allow you to set custom speeds and follow the guided routines. Another reason the Go 2 doesn’t qualify as the best alternative is that the mini 2 is a revamped version of the mini 1. This mini 2 is clearly an upgrade of the older model. But does it have enough stall force to go with it? We know mini 1 had very little stall force to go with the 12mm amplitude. As this device sits right in your hand, sometimes at higher speed you can develop pins and needles and some mild discomfort in your hand from the vibration.
The percussion range is 2000-3200RPM. The faster percussions make it much harder to stall than mini 2. Ekrin Bantam is tiny but mighty. We simply love it.
The Theragun Mini is a great choice for percussive massage on-the-go
The main reason for this was, while it felt good to hold it for a short while, holding it for longer strained the arm. You had to keep readjusting your grip from time to time. We haven’t recommended it here as the best alternative because it’s weaker than the new Theragun mini. It has a tad less than 10mm amplitude but way more percussions to keep the intensity high and remain effective.
This one looks smaller and noticeably lighter. But everything else is a copy of the mini 1. From the quality of materials to the rubberized texture that feels nice to touch to the overall appearance. You could argue they only shrank the covering of the mini 1. The new mini is still expensive and isn’t as versatile as Ekrin Bantam, which we still believe is the best mini around.For starters, it weighs the same 1.1 pounds as the new generation Theragun mini. But the shapes are different, and the Bantam has way better performance aspects than the new Theragun mini. We like what we see. Everything feels premium, as expected. The build quality is still top-notch, and it’s even better now that it’s not oversized. We’ll discuss more in ergonomics. While the mini 2 is easy to stall with its 20lbs. stall force, the Go 2 is even weaker. We figure there isn’t more than 10-15lbs. of stall force in the motor. Hyperice doesn’t say how much pressure their device can withstand. Mini 1 has a 12mm amplitude. This is the highest among mini guns. Nothing has changed with mini 2. It also has a 12mm stroke length. 12mm amplitude is confirmed. No other mini come close. The new 2 nd generation mini hasn’t changed, at least not as far as the design goes. In fact, you could easily mistake it for the mini 1. The 2 nd generation Theragun mini how it compares to the 1 st generation mini.
