I'm a Physical therapist and use these type of devices regularly for patient treatment. We have a HYPERVOLT (~$250) in our outpatient PT clinic which is great for acute muscle soreness (DOMS) & soft tissue remodeling.
There are many "knockoffs" like this one, but finding one that is reliable and durable is the key. We have had fellow PT clinicians buy the cheaper versions for personal use and have returned them due to poor quality, limited percussion power, short battery life, and rattling housing.
With all that said, I've already order this item from Costco for use in my home gym. Crossing fingers that it's just as good as the professional/industrial versions which would be a steal for only $60. You can't beat the Costco return policy if it is not of quality. Hope this helps...
Question that we'll probably see 20x in this thread. Depends on your expectation. It's better than a normal massager IMO. Though is that still good enough for anyone here?
I suffer from nightly back soreness. I'm an active person and play multiple sports a year and power lift year round. So for something that relieves some soreness nightly, this thing is pretty great. It's the only constant I have because I can't afford regular chiro, massage, cup or accu pressure therapy visits. Oh and my wife tired of me asking for a back rub every night.
Is this perfect? Absolutely not. Lets be real. It's $59.
Personally I don't think this helps with recovery like some claim. But IMO it helps with acute soreness.
I suspect these will go on sale as they're showing as a new item. Not a terrible price at $60 and worth the chance should they go on sale - Costco is great at credit back for price drops. Yes, cheaper options out there but how many come with a Costco return policy.

N41. Always wanted to try one of these out. Biking season is coming up and I am usually quite sore the first month. Hope this is better than my usual cheap Homedic massager.

My biggest problem was someone should help you on shoulder and back. If you touch this on bone it is not pleasant experience. It is not very effective and someone should do it for you to avoid touching bone and sensitive area. Also person who hold this for 10 minutes can feel the effect of vibration.
It maybe effective for someone who is really sore but they can help from other devices minus vibration hell.

Can you please give us an update how you like it? thanks
Huge fan of pliability (TB12, woot), and I have a LifePro version of this gun. N41 as well, $60 is hard to beat; I bought my LifePro gun for $250 (using FSA). If this holds up, i can keep this as my desk gun, and bring the LifePro one around.
