![]() The Bantam weighs 1.1 pounds – Theragun mini finally catches up! We voted the tiny Bantam the best mini gun, but Theragun mini 2 is finally catching up! We like to use the Ekrin Bantam as our benchmark for the perfect mini massage gun. Yes we have seen some lighter devices, but those are often plastic and toy-like with very little power. It basically went from heavy to light in terms of weight category. This is a significant reduction for a mini massage gun. We did the measuring with the ball head attached. The weight has been reduced by 25%, down from 1.45 pounds to 1.1 pounds. For comparison, mini 1 measured 6 x 5.3 x 2.25 inches. In terms of size, it measures 5.55 x 4.92 x 1.93 inches. Even the grip got better compared to mini 1. One attribute that makes us conclude this is the thickness this one is thinner. Therabody puts the difference in size as only 20%, but we’d say it’s probably tinier than that. Yes, the mini 1 was small and compact, but calling it a true mini would’ve been an exaggeration. There are many noticeable changes in Theragun mini 2 under this section.įor starters, compared to mini 1, mini 2 looks like a true mini. The Duo Adapter and Supersoft attachment are the best additions worth buying for the mini. Some of the noteworthy accessories include the Duo-adapter (it saves time) and Supersoft attachment refills (just the top, foamy part). All attachments are soft and easy to install. If you want extra attachments, you can get them for $20-$30 each on. You can buy it as a starter device, not just a complementary Theragun.Īnother thing to note is that the attachments are still compatible with other generations’ devices. It can finally be considered a standalone mini. What’s more important is that the device doesn’t feel like an upsell to bigger devices anymore. Nevertheless, Therabody has done what many customers demanded – including more heads. In the same breath, competitors like Ekrin Bantam have a better set that addresses different muscle groups – and there is one extra too. The rounded Thumb just can’t do what the Cone can. This is because the Wedge is perfect for scraping muscles, while the Cone is great for treating trigger points. We believe the set would’ve been perfect if Therabody included the Wedge head instead of the Dampener, and the Cone instead of the Thumb. However, it has a somewhat similar shape to the other two. The Thumb Head: This one is the only firm head in the set.The Dampener Head: This one feels like the standard ball but looks larger.It can be the semi-soft one and can massage the entire body. The Standard Ball Head: This one is the universal attachment.There are three attachments included with 2 nd generation Theragun mini.īut are they what you’d call optimal? Well, the attachments included are: Theragun mini 2 needed to address this, and finally, we have a Theragun mini with multiple heads. All other brands equipped their minis with at least 3 well-varied attachments. We complained about the mini 1 not having enough attachments. The build quality is still top-notch, and it’s even better now that it’s not oversized. Those show the speeds, and one around the power button indicates whether the device is turned on or not. It’s a simple device with no bells and whistles. You could argue they only shrank the covering of the mini 1. From the quality of materials to the rubberized texture that feels nice to touch to the overall appearance. But everything else is a copy of the mini 1. This one looks smaller and noticeably lighter. The 2 nd generation Theragun mini how it compares to the 1 st generation mini. In fact, you could easily mistake it for the mini 1. The new 2 nd generation mini hasn’t changed, at least not as far as the design goes. It’s the shape consistent with Therabody’s design language. The unique triangle shape makes it stand out. ![]() The old Theragun mini (we’ll call it mini 1 from now on) is still one of the most recognizable mini massage guns out there. ![]() Everything is cleverly packed into a smaller cardboard box. There is also a USB-C charging cord.Īnd then there’s the usual welcome pack with a quick-start guide, brand story, a letter from the founder, a sticker, and warranty information. There are three attachments, one mounted on the device. It’s the same as the one with the old device, but smaller. Inside there is a small pouch for the gun. They also reduced plastic packaging to a minimum. Perhaps a clue that the new mini is tinier. The first thing you notice is that the packaging looks a little smaller than the 1 st-gen mini.
