I’ve been mulling over getting a Theragun to aid recovery but they are not cheap!

Has anyone been able to compare how the cheap ones (from a popular online retailer) stand up?  They’re around 10% of the price.

I’m keen to save money but wouldn’t want to buy something that will end up in landfill anytime soon.

I’ve got a Wahl massager. It works fine for me. I guess you got better ergonomics /handling with the expensive ones - the Wahl is quite clunky and heavy. But it’s certainly adequate. 
Edit - it was this one:

Wahl Massager Deep Tissue Massager, Corded Massage, Adjustable Speed Settings, Percussion Massagers, 4 Attachments, Release Muscle Knots, Improves Blood Circulation https://amzn.eu/d/hhCPS3p
£44

Got one of these: https://amzn.to/48f4cD5

Not as good as a proper Theragun that I've used, but good for the money!

I've got that Wahl one and have been very impressed. The long handle makes it easier to access some awkward areas.

I got a £40 o from amazon, thinking it's the same price as a physio session. If I use it a few times, it's paid for itself. Turned out to be very good value for money! I now have a cheap physio at home that I can use whenever need it. No appointments, no more splashing the cash. £40 gamble pays off! 

Amazon sell massage attachments for your jigsaw fairly cheaply.

They work but are noisy and leave sawdust everywhere.

There may be small remote controlled massage guns available, in which case we could merge this thread with the chess grandmaster one?
