This pain-relieving massager is 'better than the Theragun' — and it's down to $40

Every now and then, we can all use a good kneading, but we don't always have the time or the funds to invest in a professional massage. So, naturally, the best (and sometimes more efficient) alternative is a massage gun. Well, this shopper-favorite at Amazon has over 43,000 believers and boasts countless pain-relieving talents. While some spend hundreds of dollars on a Theragun, shoppers say this one works even better at a fraction of the cost — we're talking just $40, folks! Right now, Prime members get it for this special price, so add it to your cart while the deal's still hot.

This cordless massage gun offers seven speeds and 10 different massage heads.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

The Toloco massage gun is down to a sweet $40 (from $60) — this marks the lowest it's ever been. The last time we checked this bad boy out, some colors were sold out, so scoop one up now while they're all still available.

Why do I need this? 🤔

While heaviness is subjective, two pounds seems pretty reasonable for a massage gun that comes jam-packed with helpful features and a bunch of interchangeable heads. It has a comfy and sturdy handle that's easy to hold for those extended massage sessions, so you don't have to worry about getting those annoying arm cramps. If you plan on taking it with you when you travel, you'll be able to store it easily since it comes with its own carrying case.

On the back, you'll also find a high-def LCD touchscreen that shows you all of the cool metrics you'll need to monitor like its speed and battery life. If you suffer from habitual body pains or need some post-workout relief, the Toloco massage gun can come in handy since it enhances blood flow to help decrease tension and relax your muscles.

Also, don't let its size fool you — this powerhouse massage packs a punch thanks to its 10 customized massage heads and seven speeds. You'll be able to target the areas you need with the precision and intensity you prefer.

What reviewers say 💬

Over 43,000 Amazon shoppers have given this handheld wonder a five-star rating, with many gushing about how it's helped alleviate their pain.

Pros 👍

"This is better than [the] Theragun by far," one impressed shopper wrote, comparing this massager to its biggest (and most expensive) competitor. "This works out the soreness and pain in minutes and releases a pinched nerve! A little heavy and loud, but worth the money."

Another shopper also said it works fast at helping relieve pain: "It is fantastic," the fan said. "I had very tight muscles on my shoulders. The massage fun immediately relieved the pain and tension I was feeling."

"I've had many massagers for over 20 years. I find this is the best I've owned," another user wrote. "It is lightweight while being strong, with a big battery. It has 10 hard attachments, each with [a] different and useful shape. Try them on different body parts — the shapes make a difference! Instead of rubber, the attachments are hard plastic. This makes it glide smoothly over the skin. It doesn't hurt either because the amplitude of the motor is smaller (while still being strong)."

Cons 👎

Shoppers didn't have many major qualms with this massage gun, but one pointed out its slightly bulky design: "The only thing about it I would improve is that it could be smaller," the reviewer admitted. "It is not too big really — I just am used to a smaller one I have been using for a while. This is the best massage gun I have had, and I have had several."

"My only complaint is that I wish the handle was longer so I could reach areas of my back better," said this diminutive reviewer. "I am short and hitting the middle of my back alongside my scapula is tedious because the handle is short."

The lightweight, ergonomic design makes it easy to hold, and the silicone handle prevents slipping.

Psst: Here's one for an area that often gets overlooked — your feet!

When it comes to massages, our backs and shoulders seem to get all the love — but our hardworking feet deserve some attention too! Instead of paying for that human touch, this foot massage machine gives you so much more bang for your buck. It has heat, kneading and compression features to help relieve tension.

"The foot holes are advertised up to a men's 12. I am only an 8, but it fits my feet well," one fan wrote. "I like the pressure on level three. The heat is nice when you have cold feet. It was also beneficial that it was HSA-eligible."
