Theragun Mini $139.99 or Prime $199 @ Bed Bath & Beyond

Do these things have a battery that can be replaced after it goes dead. I'm sure these are good, but are a lot of cheddar. Don't want to risk battery failing, be it their fault or mine.

No clue what I'm doing wrong with this beyond+ thing where I signed up for it and it says it's active but even if I log out and add it to the cart it's still showing $250 at check out.

I'm pretty sure it's "active" because when I try to sign up it says I'm a member...

No, the only one that has replaceable battery is the Pro.

I don't know, I signed up for beyond + a month ago when they had a promotion the gave you the $29 yearly membership back as a credit.

Maybe try another web browser or clear your cache.

Thanks. I called and they gave me a "manual override coupon" that was 20% off to get to the price.

Good to know. Just looked up the cost of the replacement battery for the Pro. $60. Not bad, considering.

Now I know my strategy. If I ever see the Pro on sale at a mad low price, I'll get that one. Forget the others.

I'm really digging my $65 costco sharper image percussion. I'm believing it's solid. Time will tell.

edit: OMG, the Pro is Black Friday $200 off right now. The problem is it's $600-$200=$400. Too much. I'll never see that as affordable.

Now I'm ReAlLy enjoying my $65 costco rig.

Yes, the pro is pricey and quite frankly, overkill for the average home user. $200 off is a very good deal and I doubt you'll see much more discount than that anytime soon. Even if the battery were to be extended, you have to worry about the motor at some point wearing out too.

I would say, go for the prime and the $55 ProCare. It gives you a one time no-questions asked replacement no matter what happens. Plus 35% off repairs. I know they also had some trade-in program for older units.

I could be wrong, but I think that motor would last a long time and the battery would be the weak link.

I searched almost 10 min for the $55 procare version you mentioned on amazon and google. Couldn't find it. Got a link? I like to know my options.

Procare is from theragun directly. You can add it only if you purchase it from them and only at the same time you purchase the massager.

Oh, I get it. Yeah, that is good info and sounds like the way to do it.

I have 2 of the Costco sharper image massagers. They are very good for the money. The problem is the amplitude, it's 12 mm. It's not useful in the larger muscle groups like the hamstrings, where, in my case, it's the most needed. Hence, the 16 mm theragun is good and I'm getting the Pro just because get once but get right. I'm not sure if the longevity of these motors but the brushless motors on tools last quite a while.

I bought today the Sharper image from Costco I have not used yet. But was considering the blackfriday special from target I saw earlier but now I don't find using the red card.

I'm not sure about the Black Friday special from Target. Do you know which massager and what price?

I'm buying a second sharper image because i liked it. But it's not for bigger muscle groups. Hamstrings and quads and glutes need deeper amplitude.

Do you recommend the sharper image massager? it can beat for the price and I have not opened. I saw here theragun somewhere here I think the elite was like $300 minus the red discount. Ends today Saturday https://www.target.com/p/theragun...A-79858323

the pro model $399- red card discount
