Massage Gun Massager Back Pain - Muscle Massage Gun - Deep Tissue Percussion Massager Gun for Athletes, Body, Back, Neck - Percussive Massage Gun - Fascia Gun - 8 Massage Heads 20 Speeds Power Motor

The media could not be loaded.  I was recommended by my physiotherapist to use a percussion massage gun to loosen up my calves and shoulders, but I couldn't justify paying $300 or more for a Theragun. First, I picked up the sharper Image pro(SIP) massager from Costco for about $100. It seemed okay, although somewhat loud. After a few days, I came across this TOLOCO T11 pro massager on Amazon, and thought to give it a try, especially since it was being offered at an amazing promotion price. The regular price for TOLOCO is in the ballpark of the popular SIP, and they both offer very similar functions and form factor, so I thought it made sense to compare them side-by-side.Size and Weight: The Toloco is almost the same size as the sharper image, though the handle is a bit thicker than the SIP. They both have about the same weight. Using either of these shouldn't be a problem for an athlete or an average person, but if you have particularly small hands or suffer from conditions that limit your grip or arm strength, you might want to get someone else to help you administer the massage.Build Quality: The Toloco feels solidly built; there is no give or movement on any of the surfaces of the machine. There's a nice colored ring that lights up when the machine is powered on, and the back display is bright and clear. The SIP is comparable in this regard, with the advantage of having a bit nicer feel and a metallic color on the surface of the machine. The seams on the SIP also have no gap. On the Toloco, there are small changes in height between some surfaces (apparent in the photos) but these are only aesthetics and don't impact the function in any way.Performance: Now this is where I was impressed by Toloco. The first thing I noticed was how quiet it is compared the SIP. I was bothered by the noise the SIP makes starting from lower settings and getting louder as I increased the power. But the Toloco is pleasantly quiet at the lowest setting, with very small increases to the noise when increasing the power all the way up (I have uploaded a video comparing the two). SIP falsely advertises itself as whisper quiet but that is the description that the Toloco deserves. The only unexpected noise that I got on both devices was a very low volume but high frequency noise (like a hiss) that came from the display when the devices were On but idle. Ofcourse, this is not a practical issue, as you are supposed to turn off the device when not using it, and you absolutely won't be able to hear this hiss during the massage.Next in the performance department, Toloco can be adjusted in 20 steps, compared to the six steps on the SIP. This certainly gives you more fine-grained control over your massage experience, if that is something that you require. Toloco's max RPM is 3200. The full strength on both devices seems to be comparable with a bit of an edge for Toloco but I can't tell for sure as the SIP doesn't provide the power for their motor. Regarding the movement range, the Toloco cites 12mm as its amplitude, while again the SIP says nothing about its range of motion. I could be mistaken but I feel that Toloco has a higher range of motion, which is exactly what you want in a massage gun, as it enables you to reach deeper tissue.Battery: The battery size on both is advertised as 2500mah. The battery percentage is shown on both devices. I have never used either of them so much to run out of juice, and I'm in the habit of not letting any battery run completely empty as it is supposedly bad for the battery life on any kind of electronics. But I can say that using the Toloco for the recommended 10 minutes didn't put a dent in the battery, as indicated by the display. Speaking of the 10 minute limit, both devices recommend limiting your sessions to 10 minutes at each sitting. This is partly due to physiological reasons and to prevent you from overworking your muscles. But also, you need to give the motor on these kinds of devices some rest to prevent overheating. The Toloco has an auto-shut off function that turns the device off after 10 minutes of continuous use. I appreciate this feature as it protects my device. I don't know if the SIP has a similar feature, but I didn't see it in the manual.Accessories: I was initially persuaded to buy the SIP because of its 6 massage heads, but Toloco comes with a whopping 15 massage heads! It is certainly nice to have more choices about the shape and size of the heads you wanna use. The SIP tries to make up for it by including two soft ball heads as opposed to only one in Toloco, but I personally prefer having more options instead of one more soft head. Both devices come with nice carrying bags and a separate smaller case for the heads. The last thing worth mentioning here is the user manual; I really liked that Toloco gives you detailed specification of the device and provides you with extra information regarding the heads and how to use the device in general. The SIP comes with a very small manual that tells you almost nothing about the device itself and says very little on how to use it. Generally, I recommend that you go online and watch some videos on how to use a percussion gun, if you haven't had previous experience with one, but it's not necessary, and you can start right away by pointing the gun at you muscle and starting to get the pleasant feeling!All in all, I found the Toloco to be a formidable device, capable of holding its own and even providing advantages over the popular SIP device. As a declaimer, I should say that I have used both of these devices for only a few days, as I wanted to write this review as soon as I can, before returning the Sharper Image device that I don't need anymore to Costco. Therefore, I have no idea about the longevity of either device. I will try to update this review after a few months of use and let you know how it holds up (though if I don't, it usually means that it is working fine :D) .

Who doesn't like a good massage? This impact massager can provide both pain relief, and improve circulation when properly used. The relief and benefit to impacted muscles, and improved recovery from workout fatigue are all achievable effects of this device. Caution is in order when working around thin muscle tissue near bone and joints, since the 12 mm travel distance of the TOLOCO Massage Gun can cause discomfort quickly if there is insufficient tissue depth to lessen the impact on hard structures. I have personally used the gun on myself to relieve pain from rotator-cuff injuries in both shoulders, benefiting from both pain reduction, and improved range of motion, and have used it on my wife to relieve her hip pain to good effect, so I am generally pleased with this purchase.However, there has been one negative effect, as reflected in my review headline that requires some comment. When using the gun for more than a minute or two, a rather pungent odor of a chemical nature exudes from the center of the unit. It is reminiscent of something electrical being heated, but there is no obvious heat and no smoke being produced, just a strong, unpleasant chemical odor.By comparison to the same product purchased for my son-in-law as a Christmas present a month earlier, this has been a bit unsettling to me because I have no recollection of his gun producing a noticeable odor. I really like the gun, but would consider an exchange if I had any reasonable certainty that the next unit would not suffer from the same issue. Given the potential harmful effects of industrial chemicals, this massage gun may not be a healthful device to operate for a prolonged period of time.

I purchased this item in hopes of gaining some muscle relief and boy was I relieved! This product has a digital display so it makes you feel like you're holding some futuristic, high tech device. It's definitely on the larger side & a bit bulky but that doesn't really bother me. As long as it gets the job done then I'm satisfied; it does! Regardless of the size, it's of great quality! I decided if I was going to commit to purchasing a massage gun, then I might as well find a good one instead of opting for the cheapest. The performance of the device is amazing! The instant relief I gained when using this product was a game changer! It was pure euphoria when I felt the weight on my shoulders completely disappear within a matter of seconds! I feel as if I'm floating on a cloud. Even though this purchase was mainly intended for just my back/shoulders, somehow it got rid of my headaches & I'm stress free! It also comes with multiple attachments, a charging cable, a really fancy case, and a small mesh bag to hold the other attachments. This is a much cheaper, convenient option versus having to pay major bucks for a masseuse. Why put on pants & burn a hole in your pocket when you could get the job done yourself in the comfort of your own home at a much lower rate with a single purchase? I definitely recommend!

Did it stop working?Fixed it: get a universal adapter with multiple charger types.It “looked” like the battery was charged at 99 and the charging light was green, as if the battery was fully charged. Here’s the thing: it was not charged because the charger that came with it is not really working. Is it too weak, too strong? Who knows. Just get a cheap universal charger and suddenly the charging light showed as red, and it’s actually charging.I took it apart first before figuring that it’s just a charger issue. The trick to removing the bottom circle on the handle is that it has 3 hidden screws. I located them and just pierced through the thin cover. Once you find the 3 screws, it will detach easily. That said - don’t take it apart until you verify that a new charger won’t fix it.

Worked well for a few months, now won't turn on and won't charge. Junk.

It took buying 3 different ones (two wattne’s and a random one) to finally find this one! TOLOCO is better than WATTNE! So far it’s an awesome massage gun and way better than wattne! Lightweight, decent massage heads, LONG battery life! I will update in a few months :)

Purchased this to help with my chronic pain on the recommendation of my physio. Excellent product for the price. Good, strong motor, and tons of choice with all the different attachments.Don't buy it expecting it to perform as well as a Theragun. The massage is very strong, but it's still a budget option.Battery life is very impressive, as are the touch controls. Only gripe is that it's quite heavy, especially for someone using it to help manage pain from a joint disorder. After holding it for a few minutes, I have to switch hands.

This gun gives a strong massage into deep tissue. It is a little heavy and the balance is the same as a large hair dryer. But, the motor is the obvious reason for the weight. There are so many different heads that interchange and different levels of strength that every possible muscle issue can be addressed. Especially the leg cramps and restless legs in the middle of the night. It stays charged for a long period. Would definitely recommend this massage gun to any age.

A total dud
