Review on Gardenature Massage Gun: Portable Handheld Electric Fascial Gun For Muscle Pain Relief & Recovery - 4 Heads, 4 Speeds, White/Blue by Kenny Sanchez

I've reviewed about a dozen of these massage guns in the last year. This one is the first that I've reviewed that qualifies as "mini". I love it! The size is just terrific for throwing in the gym bag or taking to work. It's small enough to fit in your suitcase and not have to leave a pair of shoes out. It's just the right size to still hold and use yet scaled down.There's plenty of power here, almost that of the full size guns. It seems like the throw of the percussive head isn't quite as long but otherwise it's doing the job. The case is nice and it comes with a soft bag as well in case you want to really minimize how much of your suitcase you use and just take the massage gun.I love that this uses USB C to charge. I'm almost completely transferred over to USB C with all my gizmos. Just my old Fire Tablet now with the micro USB. For travel though I'm able to travel with just USB C cables and a micro just in case. I love not having to look at the connector to see which direction the plug goes. It's always the other way with the micro USB - no matter what I'm trying it wrong the first time.The first time I turned this massage gun on it made a terrible sound. It was screeching like a screw was left in the impeller part of the important percussive thing. It went away after a bit but returned on the second and third times I used it. It has since stopped making that evil noise and is now acting like a normal massage gun. It's a bit noisy but not in a rattling hunk of metal way - just the normal massage gun manner.When I'm at home and I have a choice between this gun and a full size one, I'll reach for this gun first. It's smaller and easier to hold. However, I usually switch to a full size massage gun after a few minutes since I can reach around to the thoracic where I've got aching scar tissue I like to punish.I'm very happy with this massage gun and would have given it five stars if it hadn't made all that screeching and crunching at first. For all appearances it's a quality built device.
