Mebak 3 Muscle Massage Gun Review

In the world of portable massagers, there are a few factors that define what a good model really is. Those are practicality, ease of use, percussion properties, and above all – affordability. While some models push the price tag higher and higher with each year, others remain affordable and try to lead the mid-tier guns closer to the high-end models without costing you an arm and a leg. The Mebak 3 Massager Gun is without a doubt one of the best values for your money out there currently and thanks to its unique features and attachments it will do a decent job no matter the task.

In this review, we will go over its features, compare it to other models, and see how much value does paying around a hundred dollars get you these days. To learn more about massage guns and see which are the top models for this year, head over to my full buyer’s guide! Now, let’s dive into the features of the Mebak 3…

Overview & Features

Design and build quality

The design of this massage gun is very similar to most other percussion massagers out there with a gun-like shape and a large, long handle that makes massaging with it relatively easy. It also makes holding it in awkward positions easier. The body is made out of a plastic polymer that keeps the weight down while maintaining decent durability. The heat openings at the top part are well-positioned above the motor but they sometimes struggle to keep that same motor cool, which is why the gun sometimes overheat after heavy usage.

The whole massage gun weighs around 2.1 lbs with all its attachments and carrying case which isn’t bad but isn’t very good either. The smaller 1s models from Mebak weigh around 1.6 lbs making them much easier to carry around and operate. Still, most of the weight here comes from the larger replaceable battery.

Head adjustability

There is no head adjustability in this massage gun, apart from the interchangeable heads and different speeds that you can use. The massage depth is around 12 mm (appx. 0.5 inches) which can’t be changed as well.

Percussion & Attachments

In terms of its massaging percussions, there are 5 levels you can choose for the speed settings. Those are all good for different body parts that benefit from the different massaging intensity. While the smaller muscles can be loosened up with fewer percussions per minute, larger muscle groups will need deeper more powerful, and faster massaging. This is why it is good to have as many speed settings as possible. That combined with its attachments really makes the Mebak 3 a good all-around tool for every part of your body.

The attachments here are good for different purposes – neck, shoulder, lower back, spine, Achilles tendon, large muscle groups, joints and deep tissues (meridian massage), sensitive tissues, and two universal heads for all body parts.

Ease of use and portability

Thanks to the carrying case the Mebak 3 is actually quite portable even with all of its attachments with it. Still, it is a bit on the heavy side which makes constantly carrying it everywhere with you a bit strenuous. Using it is also easy if we are talking about a 10-20 minute massage session. If you have to use it on a daily basis on you and your athletes, then the slightly higher weight becomes more of an issue. But even then, when comparing it to some bigger and more powerful massage guns that weigh around 4-5 lbs it does feel like a much lighter tool. As a whole, as most of the weight comes from the motor, you will have to pick between a lightweight or a powerful massage gun or just be satisfied with the middle where the Mebak 3 stands…

Noise

The low levels of noise this massager produces are perhaps one of its most worthy features. While other mid-tier massagers produce around 40-60db, the Mebak 3 has an average noise level of around 39db. Even with these low levels, the motor manages to remain fairly powerful. However, it is worth noting that only the lower speed modes produce such low noise levels. Once you push the massager to its upper-speed settings, it becomes noisier with an operating noise of around 60db which is substantial if you want to be ultra-quiet.

Battery

The battery on the Mebak 3 is quite substantial and is also one of its strong features. With average usage, the 4-component battery inside can last you around 3 hours and it takes roughly 90 minutes to go from 0 to full. The battery is also removable which comes in handy if you want to buy a spare one and change them if you have no power outlets near you when using the massage gun.
