This is less than what they advertise it to be, but still pretty decent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/zarifa-mini-z-smart-massage-gun-measured-amplitude.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/zarifa-mini-z-smart-massage-gun-measured-amplitude.jpg\" alt=\"Zarifa Mini Z Smart Massage Gun Measured Amplitude\" class=\"wp-image-21490\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/zarifa-mini-z-smart-massage-gun-measured-amplitude.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/zarifa-mini-z-smart-massage-gun-measured-amplitude-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/zarifa-mini-z-smart-massage-gun-measured-amplitude-1024x585.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/zarifa-mini-z-smart-massage-gun-measured-amplitude-768x439.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/how-we-test-review-process\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Our own measurement<\/a> shows a surprising result: the amplitude is at only 8.5mm, in contrast to the advertised 12mm.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What, then can you expect from this kind of amplitude?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can expect it to be slightly more percussive than 6-7mm guns (Lifepro DynaMini, Recoverfun mini). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, it won\u2019t feel punchy. If you want punchy hits you can try out the alternative Ekrin Bantam (recommended below) or <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/theragun-mini-review\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Theragun mini<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though 9mm will feel <strong>more vibrational <\/strong><span contenteditable=\"false\" id=\"926694e4-d4db-45e6-a611-73a0ced0385f\" data-items=\"[&quot;1949221189&quot;]\" class=\"abt-citation\" data-has-children=\"true\"><sup>\u200b3\u200b<\/sup><\/span><strong> than percussive<\/strong>, you can still get the job done with this gun if it has a combo of a strong stall force and many percussions per minute. Let us explore those two aspects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stall Force<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-magad-more-box\">Stall force is the measure of <strong>how hard a device can be pressed<\/strong> against the body without stalling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We couldn\u2019t find stall force information on Zarifa\u2019s website. Often this indicates a weak stall force. <strong>However, it is actually pretty good!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we applied pressure during our massage sessions, we found that its stall force held up quite well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of the actual figures,<strong> it feels like it has 25lbs<\/strong>. on the top gear. In our testing, it felt stronger than a hyped Hypervolt Go 2. However, it lagged behind devices like Ekrin Bantam, which we voted the <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/most-powerful-massage-guns\/\" class=\"ek-link\">strongest mini massage gun<\/a> out there (30+lbs. of stall force).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few other thoughts we had after testing the stall force:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>don\u2019t expect the lower gears to withstand a lot of pressure \u2013 you can only achieve surface-level massage. However, our testing on higher gears revealed its ability to withstand some decent pressure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the last gear (5<sup>th<\/sup>) withstands the most pressure. In our experience, you\u2019ll want to take advantage of this if you want some deep hits. Beginners will find it strong enough to do the job.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-1, #108eff)\" class=\"has-inline-background\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-palette-color-8-color\">TIP<\/mark><\/span><\/strong> If you want more stall force than this, you\u2019ll have to try the Ekrin Bantam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Percussions and Speeds<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We couldn\u2019t help but notice how outrageous the percussion range suggested by Zarifa was. They say it\u2019s 1600-3600RPM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We felt this was unrealistic given the amplitude. We understand that 1600RM for the first speed isn\u2019t unheard of, but 3600RPM sounds like an overreaching. Either way, we used our laser tachometer to test it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our readings showed a range of <strong>1800-3100RPM<\/strong>, which is more realistic. While up to 3600RPM would\u2019ve been incredible, the actual range is pretty decent too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bantam percusses a bit more intensively (maxes out at 3200RPM), but you won\u2019t feel the slight difference. Also, you can start slow and gradually set to a more aggressive massage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The device has a <strong>5-speed setup<\/strong> to go with the percussions. We like 5 speeds because they are just enough to cycle through. Plus, for this percussion range, 5 speeds feel perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly all competitors have 3 speeds for their mini guns. We are talking Theragun mini, Ekrin Bantam, and Hypervolt Go 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7fc2d851 gb-container-mga-white-shadow-box-border-left\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.234), 17px);\"><span style=\"background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-1, #108eff)\" class=\"has-inline-background\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-palette-color-8-color\">Our Take on Performance<\/mark><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The 8mm (8.5 to be precise) stroke length, above-average stall force in the mid-20s lbs., and a wide vibration range make <a aria-label=\"this Zarifa mini massage gun (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/link\/zarifausa-mini\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">this Zarifa mini massage gun<\/a> a <strong>versatile device<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use it for a reasonably intensive massage. It\u2019s the perfect setup for those who want something portable to use before or after a workout. It\u2019s also great if you want a mini device with a relatively high amplitude and decent power.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Zarifa mini massage gun will work great on the neck, shoulders, arms, hands, feet, and <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/best-massage-gun-for-back-pain\/\" class=\"ek-link\">back massage therapy<\/a>. Normal non-buff guys will be able to use it on large muscle groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are not so sure about buff guys. If you want more power from a mini gun, we welcome you to chek out the Bantam (<a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/ekrin-bantam-review\/\" class=\"ek-link\">review here<\/a>) or just <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/link\/erkin-bantam\/?utm_source=massagegunadvice.com&amp;utm_campaign=bantam&amp;utm_content=review_zarifamini\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"grab it at ekrinathletics.com (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">grab it at ekrinathletics.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Noise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mini devices don\u2019t have a noise problem. This one follows suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we turned it on, it was reasonably quiet. We measured <strong>45-58dB<\/strong> in a quiet room. This makes it slightly noisier than the Bantam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our testing, we felt slight vibrations to the holding hand, but nothing too uncomfortable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Battery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During our testing, the long battery life stood out as a major advantage. It is pretty juiced &#8211; up to <strong>2600mAh<\/strong>, which is full-sized massage gun territory. It\u2019s impressive how they could squeeze such a large battery into a tiny body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, Zarifa says it can go for 10 hours straight on a single charge. In our experience, this is doable, but only when you don\u2019t use higher speeds and apply no pressure. In our use, we noticed it <strong>could last for about 4 hours<\/strong> on a single charge when used on higher speeds and with some pressure here and there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4 LEDs underneath the power button indicate the current charge level. The biggest plus is the <strong>USB-C charging<\/strong> that it comes with. You don\u2019t have to work with a bulky wall charge anymore here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/usb-c-charging-zarifa-mini-massager.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/usb-c-charging-zarifa-mini-massager.jpg\" alt=\"Usb C Charging Zarifa Mini Massager\" class=\"wp-image-21491\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/usb-c-charging-zarifa-mini-massager.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/usb-c-charging-zarifa-mini-massager-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/usb-c-charging-zarifa-mini-massager-1024x585.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/usb-c-charging-zarifa-mini-massager-768x439.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">We always appreciate massagers equipped with USB-C charging.

Very close to Zarifa\u2019s 1.2 pounds, but lighter nonetheless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"10055\" src=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ekrin-bantam-woman-back-massager.jpg\" alt=\"ekrin bantam woman back massager\" class=\"wp-image-10055\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ekrin-bantam-woman-back-massager.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ekrin-bantam-woman-back-massager-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ekrin-bantam-woman-back-massager-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ekrin-bantam-woman-back-massager-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" data-id=\"8785\" src=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/luke-review-bantam-g13.jpeg\" alt=\"luke review bantam g13\" class=\"wp-image-8785\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/luke-review-bantam-g13.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/luke-review-bantam-g13-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/luke-review-bantam-g13-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/luke-review-bantam-g13-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" data-id=\"7115\" src=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bantam-recovery-hiking-2-sq.jpg\" alt=\"bantam recovery hiking 2\" class=\"wp-image-7115\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bantam-recovery-hiking-2-sq.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bantam-recovery-hiking-2-sq-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bantam-recovery-hiking-2-sq-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bantam-recovery-hiking-2-sq-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bantam-recovery-hiking-2-sq-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bantam-recovery-hiking-2-sq-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">It is small and handy; great travel companion.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It has an excellent build and a <strong>premium feel<\/strong>.

class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Review Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we end this Zarifa massage gun review, there are a few things worth noting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our use, we found the Z-Smart Mini to be a decent mini device that looked okay and felt comfortable in our hands. We did encounter some downsides, but we didn&#8217;t consider them to be deal breakers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on our personal use and testing, we recommend giving it a chance as we believe it will perform adequately for most users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From our perspective, one of the greatest advantages of this Z-smart massage gun is its <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/hsa-fsa-eligible-massage-gun\/\" class=\"ek-link\">eligibility for HSA or FSA<\/a>, making it a <strong>good alternative to Theragun Mini<\/strong> in the mini device category<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now also buy Theragun mini using the HSA\/FSA funds (<a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/link\/theragun-fsa-hsa-faq\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"here's the FAQ (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">here&#8217;s the FAQ<\/a>) but that&#8217;s about it &#8211; other minis don&#8217;t come with HSA\/FSA benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, we think it&#8217;s worth considering other options as well. We&#8217;ve found that the Bantam, despite being smaller and more powerful, doesn&#8217;t offer the HSA\/FSA benefits that we appreciated in the Zarifa massage gun. It is <a aria-label=\"cheaper though (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/link\/erkin-bantam\/?utm_source=massagegunadvice.com&amp;utm_campaign=bantam&amp;utm_content=review_zarifamini\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">cheaper though<\/a>, so perhaps it makes sense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whichever device you choose, you&#8217;re likely to be satisfied. We found them all to be good devices. These are all good devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<section aria-label=\"Bibliography\" class=\"wp-block-abt-bibliography abt-bibliography\" role=\"region\"><h6 class=\"abt-bibliography__heading\">References<\/h6><ol class=\"abt-bibliography__body\" data-entryspacing=\"1\" data-maxoffset=\"2\" data-linespacing=\"1\" data-second-field-align=\"flush\"><li id=\"1196173576\">  <div class=\"csl-entry\">\n    <div class=\"csl-left-margin\">1.<\/div><div class=\"csl-right-inline\">Zarifa USA Official Website.
