What owners single out
Review 7's warranty activation issue aligns with a potential customer service weakness that could undermine the otherwise strong product quality.
In their words
“This massage gun has been life changing. I researched which one to buy for weeks. I’m so glad I landed on this one. I had a few non-negotiable features I was looking for; it needs to be as quiet as possible, I’d like to be able to simulate a sports massage/deep tissue work, and I’d like to be able to do a feel good relaxation massage. The B37 blew my expectations out of the water. Noise level: It’”

“ACTIVATE YOUR WARRANTY, YOU'LL NEED IT!!! It worked good, until it didn't. Apparently, EKRIN will send you countless reminders to leave a review, or buy the same product you already bought, but not to register your warranty within a month. Unlike the website, the warranty card in the box says nothing about a 30 day activation window or NO LIFETIME WARRANTY! I don't know if I registered it or not. ”
