The powerful massage gun that 'melts the pain away' is down to $36

Got a kink in your neck? Those pesky knots from workouts, yard work or poor posture can be tough to shake, and when you're on a budget, the last thing you want to do is spend hundreds on a professional massage. While the pro stuff is admittedly pure bliss, we've found something close for way less: the top-selling Raemao Massage Gun. It's on sale for just $36 for Amazon Prime members, down from $50.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

Not only is this highly rated deep-tissue massage gun a bit of an overachiever, but at $36, it's a steal. That's just $2 more than its all-time low. It's also one of Amazon's best-reviewed massage guns, boasting a range of percussive speeds and heads. Plus it has a five-hour battery life. (Do you know of any massage therapists that can give a five-hour massage without a few breaks? We didn't think so.)

Why do I need this? 🤔

The ultimate reward at the end of a long day is to kick back and relax — but sometimes, getting R&R is easier said than done. With all of the walking, bending, reaching and even sitting we do all day (not to mention any injuries we've sustained over the years), it only makes sense that our muscles won't want to cooperate from time to time, resulting in soreness and stiffness. And when a personal masseuse is out of the question? It's this massage gun to the rescue.

Equipped with 10 speeds, this knot buster covers all the bases, from waking up muscles to giving deep-tissue massages. It even has a "Professional Mode" if it's a next-level kneading sesh you're craving. Not only that, this device comes with eight interchangeable massage heads — each with dedicated uses — that'll really get in there, whether you're targeting your calves and back or palms and feet.

Another cool feature is the LCD touchscreen display, which you'll use to adjust the speed and keep track of the battery level. Speaking of which, you'll get up to five hours of use per charge, depending on the level of intensity, but it'll automatically shut off after 10 minutes of continuous use as a safety precaution. And weighing in at just 1 pound, it's ideal for travel — it even comes with a carrying case.

What reviewers say 💬

With over 15,000 five-star ratings, the Raemao Massage Gun is a bona fide hit with Amazon customers.

Pros 👍

"Wow. Just wow," said a relaxed reviewer. "I got this on a recommendation from a physical therapist I work with as an alternative to his professional massage gun. I was not disappointed! It is powerful, easy to use and amazing at deep tissue massage. My muscles have never felt so loose and free!"

"It's very quiet, which is a huge plus for me." wrote this relieved shopper. "I massaged with a ball nozzle — it is the most versatile. Very relaxing! Ten speeds, different vibration frequencies. You can find the most suitable mode for yourself."

"Long battery life, easy charging," said one content customer. "This thing works great, it's simple to use, easy to read with big font and bright lights. It works like a dream too, melts the pain away and with so many options for tips, it's perfect."

"The multiple adapters are easily swapped out and cover the entire body," another fan wrote. "I no longer need to spend $150 for a personal massage as this does, in fact, [give you] a deep tissue massage with adjustability from soft to heavy."

Cons 👎

A few shoppers made note of a few possible improvements. "Wish there was a soft attachment for more bone-dense areas," one reviewer pointed out. "Even the softest included attachment is still fairly hard."

"It's a nice machine [but] the on/off switch is a bit crude," said a final user. "The highest speed requires a hard push, and it not going to happen if you are massaging yourself. I can't get the pressure to kick it in. I would make that a switch."

If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
