I completely agree. While the new pro features are cool, I think the only features that are worthwhile are the heated and vibrating attachments. I miss the adjustable arm and removable battery. I think anyone considering a mid-level device would be better off going to get the previous generation Elite and I think the mini 2.0 is a better value than the Relief. I don’t like that they scaled back the stroke length of the relief and sense as that was one of the most differentiating features of theragun conpared to other massage guns. I think it is overall a disappointing release of devices.
Thank you for the comparison video Pat. After watching your in-depth reviews on the latest models and after much thought, I cannot help but think that this year's models are all a step back, except for the Mini. Some good features taken away, some good features added. I think the Pro benefited the most, but at the cost of some big sacrifices, namely the lack of changable battery and fixed angle. I get the sense that possibly Therabody rushed to get this all done for the holiday season and had to make some sacrifices, but that's all a guess. I hope the next models for all tiers are back up to speed. I'd like to hear your honest feedback if you think this year's models were a step back, forward, neutral, questionable, etc. Always appreciate the content Pat, and thank you. Take care.
It’s useful at work. I have the Elite too and that’s a bit heavy to be carrying to work everyday. In the UK it’s currently £99 direct from Therabody. Bargain.
