![]() In the Amazon product listing, Sportneer claims the battery life on the Elite D9 lasts anywhere from 1.5 to 7 hours, which is a huge range. This massage gun operates at a noise level of 30 to 40 decibels, which makes it easily one of the quietest massage guns I’ve ever used, even at the highest speed setting. If quiet operation is your priority, the Sportneer Elite D9 is definitely an option to look into. The aluminum attachments will probably hold up better, although the insertion points are still plastic. They may suffer the usual fates of plastic and foam over time (cracking, discoloration, warping, or compression). The only reason I wouldn’t give Sportneer a 5 out of 5 in this category is because the attachments don’t seem to be of great quality. I love this because you can use aromatherapy massage oils for an added element to your massage, or pop them in the freezer for a cryo massage. The Sportneer Elite D9 comes with six attachments, two of which have aluminum heads. The Elite D9 is slightly top-heavy, though, which means it can quickly tire out the wrists and forearms. The handle isn’t too thick-I can fully wrap my hands around it-and it’s slightly angled at about 45 degrees to help target hard-to-reach spots. It features a cylindrical handle with a soft-grip rubber coating that doesn’t slip around even in sweaty hands. There isn’t anything overtly special or terrible about the design of this massage gun. Weighing 2.3 pounds (1.6 ounces more than the Theragun Prime) and measuring approximately 10 inches in height by 8 inches in length, it lacks in power for its heft. This is about average for the price point, however, I’d expect a bit more power out of the box due to how heavy this gun is. The Sportneer Elite D9 has an 11-millimeter amplitude. Most people won’t press hard enough into their body to stall this massage gun. Still, almost 20 pounds is enough for the average person. However, if you’re looking solely at the price, this falls in line with what’s average for the $100-150 range. This is measly for the product’s size-20-ish pounds of stall force is good for a mini massage gun, but not great for a full-sized one. The Elite D9 features a 220-watt brushless motor that, according to the product listing, has almost 20 pounds (18.7 to be exact) of stall force. This is a larger range than most massage guns at this price point, but it means there’s more variance between speeds, or the jump from speed to speed is bigger. The speed range is 1,300 to 3,200 percussions per minute (PPM). Small LED indicator lights tell you which speed you’re on. You get six intensity levels with the Sportneer Elite D9. Ahead, I break down the specs of this product and how they all played out in real life. I used the Elite D9 during warmups, for post-workout recovery, and on rest days. Overall, my experience with the Sportneer Elite D9 massage gun was fine-just fine, really, nothing more and nothing less.
