What owners single out
The lack of a heating option that divides buyers aligns with video reviewers' criticism of missing heat functionality.
In their words
“If you work out, you need a Hyperice Hypervolt Go 2. It’s compact and lightweight, which makes it easy to use. It fits in your suitcase when you travel and it’s quiet when in use. The battery capacity is great, with 3 hours of use. It’s pretty much everything that you can ask for in a personal hand held massager.”
