Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So I am on of those brutally honest review folk but as always your mileage may vary. So lets start off with the good. So first off - nice carrying case. Good touch, looks like someone cared when they designed it. First impressions on use were that it was a little too intense. But I have quickly grown to like that it is quite a powerful and intense message gun. The battery life isnt THAT great - but IT HAS 2 BATTERIES! Friggen genius! That means when the thing cuts out, you just battery swap and you dont have to wait a couple of hours for a fully charged battery. This shows that during the design of this thing, some people actually used and tested it - and noticed that it was an issue and did something about it. Good job there. Now to the OK stuff Build quality is OK. Injection mold work isnt the best but the thing fits together and does not feel flimsy in the hand. The design of the whole thing looks like its trying too hard - trying to copy a lot of power tools from the last few years. I would have simplified the design of the whole bottom half to be just over molded in the black, what is it butyl rubber or TPE/TPU or whatever you guys used and had just a blue - black - blue look with only two lines. Screws are exposed on one side - so one side is definitely prettier than the other. But again - overall OK. It works. Foam ball tips and attachments get an OK. They work but do feel and look kind of cheap. Gets the job done but I would have gone with a silicon or some kind of textured rubber. I am sure this thing will crap out at some point because of the gears inside it or trigger or batteries wearing out. It just does not have that "yeah, this thing will last forever, its so over built" feel to it. Its just OK in this category. But I am sure I will get my monies worth out of it. Like you know - if this thing lasts 5 to 10 years, and shits the bed - I will be OK with that. If it makes it 6 months to 2 years and craps out - I will be editing this review. The bad They used a brushed motor instead of a brushless motor. This means you get that wonderful electricy O zone smell when you use the thing. I would have gone with a brushless motor. This is actually my single biggest gripe with the thing. You (vybe) should really look into getting a replacement brushless motor and just quietly work that into anything you sell in the future. The trigger is on / off. I would have gone with a trigger that allows for some speed control - and still kept the speed adjust knob to limit the max speed. And once you have the electronic controls to make that happen - you could add nice features like speed ramp up and ramp down or little single punches like 3 in a row. Put a second knob on there that clicks to select all the different stuff. I mean I would probably just find one I like and use that one exclusively - and it still might be the "normal" setting, but it would bring product quality and features more in line with the price. The noise is pretty bad. They sdmit this - so gets a pass. But its about equivalent to a power reciprocating saw or jigsaw. Think https://www.amazon.com/18-Volt-Cordless-Brushless-Tool-Only/dp/B07KDZ6ZSH/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2BME6GC55GO9J&keywords=ryobi+jigsaw&qid=1555011042&s=gateway&sprefix=ryobi+jigsaw%2Caps%2C209&sr=8-1 - thats a link for a Cordless Brushless Jig Saw In fact this is a nice transition to my next point. What does this message gun look like? A battery powered jigsaw? hmmm. By my calculation the price for this thing should be about $100-$120. So I would argue its a bad deal. Conclusion: Would I buy this again. In one word - Yes. In a paragraph: I would need to try some other percussion massagers, I dont have much to compare it to. Would I pay twice as much for one that was half the noise? No. Would I buy one that had a brushless motor and was a little quieter for plus or minus 10% of the price of this one. Yes. So the review is 4 stars - because anything I say "would buy again to" gets 3 automatically. And its not a piece of crap - gets the job done - so it gets one more star. But I would say to get the last star, they really need to batton down on the look and feel of the finish and accessories, use a brushless motor, and possibly add some premium features.
