Fortune's best mini and a good-value pick at Tom's Guide, with a 4-hour battery and a quiet motor. It comes with only two heads and no Bluetooth, and at 7.5 inches long it's bigger than palm-size minis.
Top complaints
- Only two attachments
Both Tom's Guide and Fortune list the two heads (flat and wedge) as a con. Tom's Guide adds that heads pop out if not pushed in far enough.
Source: Tom's Guide review, Fortune - Limited reach and grip options
Fortune says there are no multiple grip options and reaching some back areas depends on your flexibility. Tom's Guide says it's still quite large for a travel gun (7.5 x 6.8 x 2.4 inches).
Source: Fortune, Tom's Guide review - No Bluetooth; specs not disclosed
Tom's Guide lists no Bluetooth connectivity as a con. Fortune notes Hyperice doesn't specify stall force or amplitude for this model (Tom's Guide lists 10 mm).
