![]() Assuming you have the Elite powered on, the process is fairly seamless from there. So obviously, the first thing you need to do is install the Therabody app from either the Apple App Store or Google Play. In truth, the new Therabody app with its wireless connection to your massage gun is a revelation! It’s really that good and we think you’ll fall in love with it too. Great, another piece of worthless half-baked technology to fumble around with we thought. When we saw Theragun added Bluetooth to the Elite, an involuntary eye roll ensued. It’s everywhere, isn’t it? Nowadays if something has a circuit board, it’s gotta have Bluetooth too– even if it adds little to no value. Therabody App and BluetoothĪh, Bluetooth. That’s a nice alternative to the 3 blinking lights that oftentimes left you wondering. While it’s not recommended to use a massage gun for more than 15 minutes for the entire body, we always felt like the battery life of the G3 wasn’t enough.Īlso very handy, the built in OLED screen now displays the battery percentage so you know exactly how much charge is left. For us, we are totally OK with that especially since they doubled the battery life to 120 minutes! Unlike the PRO model, the Elite still maintains the built-in, non-removable battery. It felt very limited relative to every other massage guns out there with some offering as many as 20 incremental speeds. We criticized the G3 for only offering a 2-speed motor. The other aspect of the motor that we’re super enthused about is the variable 5-speed motor (1750-2400PPM) with the same signature 16mm amplitude. You can easily carry on a conversation, watch TV, or use this thing in public without drawing the ire of your closest neighbor. While it still delivers the same powerful 40lbs of no-stall force pressure, it’s marketed to be quieter than a standard electric toothbrush.Īfter a couple days of full on testing, we are happy to report that their claims are true. It seems Theragun took that criticism to heart, locked themselves in the R&D lab, and emerged with their proprietary QX65 motor with QuietForce Technology.Īccording to their website, they “leveraged advanced sound insulation” to create a motor that produces 75% less noise than the G3. The G2 essentially sounded like a jig-saw (looked like one too) and the G3, although 50% quieter, was still louder than most other massage guns. Theraguns have always been renowned for their incredibly powerful motors, but they’ve also been known to be obnoxiously loud too. Initially, that might not seem like a lot, but with extended use you really begin to feel the strain in your arms. On a more positive note, we are pleased to report that Theragun managed to not only make the Elite’s footprint smaller, but also shaved off 0.5lbs of weight. ![]() A minor gripe and observation we want to make you aware of. Sadly, along with the smudges, we did notice some very fine scratches in the glossy finish. Out of the box it’s a stunner, but after 5 minutes of use it quickly turns into a fingerprint magnet. Aesthetically speaking, we do regret that they brought back the glossy plastic accents. It’s a perfect example of both form and function. We love the ergonomic triangular handle and one-piece design. At first glance, there’s not a whole lot that differentiates the G3 from the Elite.
