Review on πŸ’† VYBE V2 Massage Gun for Athletes - Portable Electric Percussion Muscle Massager with 6 Speeds and 3 Attachments for Back Pain Relief Therapy - Handheld, Adjustable Arm by Jason Reed

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I mean it could be louder.

So I'm one of those honest reviewers but as always your mileage may vary. So let's start with the good. So first things first - a good tote bag. Nice touch, looks like someone took care of that when designing. The first impression of the application was that it was too intense. But I quickly liked that it's quite a powerful and intense messaging weapon. Battery life isn't great, but IT HAS 2 BATTERIES! Freegen is a genius! This means that if the device fails, you can simply swap out the battery instead of waiting a few hours for the battery to fully charge. This shows that during the development of this thing, some people actually used it and tested it - and realized that this was a problem and did something about it. Well done. Now to OK. Processing quality is ok. The injection molding work isn't the best, but the thing fits together and doesn't feel fragile in the hand. The design of the whole thing looks like it's trying too hard - trying to copy many of the power tools of recent years. I would simplify the design of the entire bottom half to just being molded in black whatever that was for butyl rubber or TPE/TPU or whatever you used and it would just be a blue-black-blue look with just two lines . The screws are exposed on one side, so one side is definitely nicer than the other. But again, it's generally fine. It works out. Styrofoam tips and nozzles are approved. They work but look and feel cheap. Does the job but I would go with silicone or some textured rubber. I'm sure this thing will eventually fail because of worn out gears in it, trigger or batteries. It just doesn't have that "yes, this thing will last forever, it's so reconfigured" feel. This is normal in this category. But I am sure that I will get my money's worth for it. As you understand, if this thing lasts 5-10 years and shits in bed, I agree. If it works and fails from 6 months to 2 years I will edit this review. The Bad They used a brushed motor instead of a brushless motor. That means you'll get that wonderful Zone O electricity smell when using this item. I would use a brushless motor. In fact, this is my biggest complaint about this thing. You (you) should really consider swapping out the brushless motor and just quietly using it in whatever you sell in the future. Trigger toggles on/off. I would go for a trigger that allows some control over speed while still allowing the speed controller to limit top speed. And if you have the electronic controls to make that happen, you can add nifty features like speed up and down, or little single hits like 3 in a row. Place a second grip there that clicks to select all the different things. I mean, I'll probably just find one I like and use it exclusively - and that may still be a "normal" attitude, but it translates into product quality and features that match the price. . The noise is pretty bad. They will take it - so they will get a pass. But that corresponds roughly to an electric saber saw or electric jigsaw. =1555011042&s=gateway&sprefix=ryobi+jigsaw%2Caps%2C209&sr=8-1 is a link to a cordless brushless saw. That's actually a good transition to the next point. What does this message gun look like? Battery powered jigsaw? Hmmm. By my calculations the price of this thing should be around $100-120. So I would say it's a bad deal. Conclusion: I would buy it again. In a word - yes. In a paragraph: I have to try other percussion massagers, I have no comparison. Am I paying twice as much for one that's half as loud? no I would buy the one that has a brushless motor and is a little quieter, plus or minus 10% of the price of that. Yes. So the rating is 4 stars because anything I say "I would buy again" automatically gets 3. And it's no crap - it does the job - so it gets another star. But I'd say to get that last star they really need to downplay the looks of the fairing and accessories, go for a brushless motor and maybe add some premium features.
