The big names publish their numbers; the cheaper guns mostly do not
Therabody and Hyperice state battery life, speeds, weight and the number of heads. The Opove and Mebak listings mostly sell the job instead, deep tissue and workout recovery. That is the real trade: a lower price against fewer published facts.
| Gun | Speeds | Battery | Weight | Heads |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theragun Prime | 5 | 120 minutes | 32 oz | 2 |
| Theragun Mini | 3 | 150 minutes | 0.40 kg | 3 |
| Hypervolt 2 Pro | 5 | 3 hours | 2.6 lb | 5 |
Opove’s M3 Pro 2 and the Mebak 3 lead on price
Both are full-size guns sold for deep-tissue work, and both sit at the top of this list. The Opove M3 Pro 2 is sold for workout recovery; the Mebak 3 is sold for athletes. Either is a sensible first gun, and a safer gift than a premium model for someone who has never owned one.

The Theragun Mini is the one that fits a carry-on

Therabody states 3 speeds, at 1,750, 2,100 and 2,400 percussions per minute, 150 minutes of battery and 3 attachments. It is the one to give someone who travels for work or packs a neck pillow for every flight.
