This addsfit Max review will look at addsfit\u2019s flagship massage gun. Addsfit is a small fitness brand that\u2019s been around since 2019. That seems like a lifetime ago if you consider how fast massage guns evolve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, addsfit Max isn\u2019t just any massage gun that can be buried so quickly and forgotten about. There\u2019s a reason it won so many users over and generated a lot of sales. It was the cheaper alternative to Hypervolt<\/a> when no decent alternatives were available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We loved the device back then. We even included it as a recommendation in most of our guides \u2013 for example, best massage gun under $100<\/a>. But can it live to 2022 massage-gun expectations? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s explore this is a new full addsfit max review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

First Impressions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This massage gun was made to be an alternative to the Hypervolt guns. addsfit didn\u2019t hide that fact. Out of the box you will find a nice carrying case branded with the addsfit Logo \u2013 nicely done. When you open the case, there\u2019s the device, the attachments, and a charger \u2013 wall charger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"addsfit<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A nicely done and well organised carrying case.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The device looks like the first Hypervolt<\/a> device \u2013 the Hypervolt silver. It has the same characteristics and even the gray color looks a bit like silver. Together with those black parts it looks unmistakably Hypervolt-ish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other thing that is perhaps different is the control panel and the addsfit logo printed on the top part and somewhere on the black handle. There\u2019s even the green Hypervolt LED ring near the bottom of the handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The device itself is made of plastic \u2013 good quality plastic<\/strong>. It\u2019s well put together and feels sturdy and durable. There are no visible screws to indicate a poor patch-up job. This is another device with a pouch for carrying the attachments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Controls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Again, just like you\u2019ll find on Hypervolt, this addsfit Max massage gun has the main switch at the bottom of the handle. Once the main switch is turned on, the device can then be activated using the main operating button at the back of the device. Beside the main button are two +<\/span><\/strong> and \u2013<\/span><\/strong> buttons for changing the speed gears.<\/p>\n\n\n

We love this setup because it\u2019s simple<\/strong>. You can change the speeds whichever way you want without having to stop the device.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n
\"addsfit<\/a><\/figure>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

A good example is the setup on Ekrin devices<\/a> where the main button acts as the speed button as well. It\u2019s not easy to go from speed 4 to speed 2 without having to stop the device and start from 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be a tedious process if the device has many speed gears. The addsfit Max percussion massager has 9 speeds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

LEDs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you switch on the device, the greed LED ring lights up. This is reminiscent of the first Hypervolts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are white LED bars above the main button \u2013 these indicate the speed gears. There are also 5 LEDs below the button that show the current battery charge. The last button lights up in red to indicate \u201clow battery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no extra features to tell you about on this device. There are no pressure sensors, OLED displays or Bluetooth connectivity. But there is a nice user manual<\/strong> and a letter from the addsfit founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Attachments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For a device that was unveiled in 2019, the attachments are amazing<\/strong>. Well, it\u2019s been 3 years of massage guns innovating and coming out with new ideas that stand out. However, addsfit has impressive attachments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"addsfit<\/a>
addsfit Max comes with 5 attachments.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are 5 attachments<\/strong> here. They\u2019re not made of hard plastic \u2013 the go-to material for most brands. These are made of nice and sturdy silicone<\/strong>. addsfit says they\u2019re antibacterial and skin-friendly. We\u2019ll not argue because they feel super-comfy to use, and they look top-quality too. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n

Attachments Mounting System<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Another impressive thing about the attachments is the mounting system. Instead of the normal push and pull (employed mostly by cheap massage guns and often needs extra force and leads to damage of attachment gaskets), this one works in two ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
