About this deal
Although D6 has 2 more, in practice, I will probably use just 2-3, primarily the ball, thumb, and wedge attachments , which both models have. Despite all its techy features, this sleek massager is surprisingly simple to use thanks to a handy quick-start guide and video tutorials. It moved seamlessly over the skin with no painful snagging, and it scored top marks for noise level, allowing you to treat sore muscles on the go without attracting attention.
It proved easy to control (there’s just one responsive button so you don’t have to fumble around trying to figure out what to press), it moved smoothly over skin and the quiet motor meant no turning the TV up mid-massage.Our panel confirmed they all did a stellar job when it came to massaging tight muscles and releasing knots post-run. Keep your gun away from your neck (decapitation ain't the aim here, lads) and avoid bone and any sprains. Our tester praised the device for its versatility and was a big fan of the softer heads, which are great for days when your DOMS are particularly bad. Yes, it looks and sounds slightly like a sex toy, but I wouldn’t advise putting it anywhere near that region).
The lights help show which setting you’re on and will signal when it’s almost out of juice, ensuring you never have to skip a post-workout pummel. Funnily enough, I actually could have done with a gentler setting, as there were times where I wanted to push deeper into the muscle, but the strength of the vibrations sort of stopped me from doing so.
It comes with step-by-step YouTube tutorials on how to use each head properly depending on your needs and it’s a doddle to get to grips with – there’s just one LED touchscreen button to switch it on and off, flit between the four speeds and keep track of battery levels. So, it’s not surprising the popularity of massage guns has boomed, especially during lockdown when appointments outside the home were impossible. Hard to reach areas: I’m a pretty mobile/flexible guy, but trying to massage my spinal erectors (which get really tight) was a little bit tricky. From the bullet head (which allows you to dig deep into your muscles) to the senior attachment (a super-soft bouncy ball that’s ideal for sore, sensitive areas), this versatile massager allows you target specific areas effectively.
