We like the Hand-Held Deep Tissue Massager by HoMedics not only because it’s a solid budget option, but also because of its unique design, which features dual massage heads that cover more area and even massage along the spine on both sides at once.
This massager includes 3 sets of massage heads that give you your choice of firmness, as well as a heat option and 4 different speed settings.
The long ergonomic handle and light weight of about 2.5 pounds make it possible to reach more difficult areas and easier to use for longer sessions. As a side note, we really appreciate that the settings are located higher on the handle, which prevents the buttons from being pressed accidentally when in use.
All in all, this massager is a good choice if you are on a budget and portability is not your top priority.

This cordless massager features a quiet, yet powerful 3700 RPM motor, and is great at getting tough-to-reach spots thanks to its lengthy handle. It also weighs less than 1 and a half pounds, making it easy to carry and hold for longer sessions. Impressively, this massager charges in about an hour thanks to the lithium-ion battery and lasts up to 2 hours on each charge.
With 6 unique massage heads, you have a variety of ways to work out knots and tension in the muscles to leave you feeling loose and relaxed. Not to mention, the Mighty Bliss is also backed with a lifetime warranty.

Our first impact or percussion massager on the list, the TOLOCO massage gun is a high-performance cordless massager designed with a 3200 RPM 24-Volt brushless motor that is both powerful and low noise.
This option features a backlit display with an impressive 20 adjustable levels, which let you dial in both the speed and intensity independently. In action, the massager penetrates deep and can really help to provide relief as well as improve recovery.
Not only is the massager another lightweight option at just over 2 pounds, it’s also a complete package that includes 10 massage heads to cover the bases, as well as a carrying case, so you can take it anywhere. The TOLOCO massage gun is a very nice, well-rounded package overall.

With a powerful brushless motor in metal housing, the Renpho massage gun has 5 speed settings that range from 1800 to 3200 rpm, along with 5 massage heads that give you multiple ways to work out and sooth tight, sore muscles.
At about 1.5 pounds, this massager is light and compact, but it also has some nice extra features like an auto-off for safety as well as a carrying case. One thing we love about this massager is the ability to recharge with any USB-C cable, so you can plug it in where you would charge almost any Android phone or tablet, which means fewer cables to manage, and more opportunities to recharge wherever you go.

Not only a back massager, but a whole-body massage package, the Theragun Massage Gun is powered by the QX65 proprietary motor, which is not only quiet, but can generate up to 60 pounds of force.
The pro version of this massager has a weight of under 3 pounds and has swappable batteries that can last up to 2 hours on a charge.
We appreciate the versatility of the multi-grip handle, as well as the OLED display and independent controls with both speed and force adjustability.
One standout feature of Theragun is its app which connects with the massager over Bluetooth for personal routines, stats, and settings. This is an excellent feature to have if you have specific or chronic muscle issues to address.
Overall, this is a high-quality massager package that is effective, convenient, cordless, and quiet, so it’s extremely easy to work massage therapy into your existing routine.
