But we were a little curious about the Z-Smart, especially after <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/zarifa-z-smart-health-plus-massage-gun-review\/\" class=\"ek-link\">checking out the Health Plus model<\/a> (for the record, they also offer a mini massage gun, <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/zarifa-massage-gun-review\/\" class=\"ek-link\">reviewed here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is this Z-Smart gun not as fancy because it&#8217;s not as good?

You are not going to enjoy carrying it with you on your travels that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if you have small hands (ladies look away!) this one is a little out of hand \u2013 literally. We\u2019re not small guys by any means, but even we struggled to keep the handle within our grasp. But maybe the rubber on the handle slightly remedies things \u2013 Rubber helps to keep the grip firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The handle here is about half an inch or an inch longer than the Health Plus model\u2019s \u2013 note that the Z-Smart Health Plus has a removable battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\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\">Our Take<\/mark><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This design is barely impressive.

That\u2019s not lightweight at all. The Health Plus model weighs about the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The size of the device is 10.43 x 7.28 x 2.75 inches. This is like <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/achedaway-pro-review-vs-theragun-hypervolt\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Achedaway Pro<\/a> (at least in terms of size) if not more. And Achedaway Pro is one of the biggest guns out there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What about ergonomics?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we already mentioned, the gun has this T-shape, which, in our experience, is a wrist-wrecker. Especially if you&#8217;re using the gun for longer massage sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thick handle just adds to the whole hard-to-handle issue. It&#8217;s definitely not easy to get this gun to move how you want it to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex

silver lining if the weight of the thing is balanced. We&#8217;ve learned this from messing around with big, heavy guns like the Achedaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the weight of the Z-Smart massage gun doesn&#8217;t spread out evenly. The top part is heavier than the handle. Even the battery in the handle doesn&#8217;t help to even things out.

It probably offers something new but nothing the bullet head won\u2019t do.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hard Multi-Point Head<\/strong> that looks like a fancy flat head.

Surprisingly, Zarifa didn&#8217;t trim down the number of attachments for their less-highlighted device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless, having 8 attachments could&#8217;ve been fantastic if the extra heads, beyond the usual ones like ball, flat, fork, bullet, and wedge, offered something unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 5-pronged head comes off as a gimmick and doesn&#8217;t seem to add anything you can&#8217;t achieve with the bullet head. The Multi-Point head is essentially a jazzed-up flat head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, we noticed these are also interchangeable with those from the Z-Smart Health Plus model.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Being the more affordable option in the Z-Smart massage gun line, we didn&#8217;t anticipate it to outperform the Health Plus model, which didn&#8217;t quite meet our expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, our curiosity about what this model could bring to the table remained undimmed. So, let&#8217;s dive in and discover what it has in store&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Amplitude<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-magad-more-box\">The term amplitude, also known as the <strong>stroke length<\/strong>, refers to the distance the massage head travels during its percussive motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zarifa claims a 12mm amplitude for this device. But could this just be another inflated claim, similar to what we observed with the Health Plus model?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We decided to investigate using our caliper (here you can read more <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/how-we-test-review-process\/\" class=\"ek-link\">how we test massage guns<\/a>). The measurement showed a lesser 9.59mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/zarifa-z-smart-massage-gun-measured-amplitude-1024x585.jpg\" alt=\"Zarifa Z Smart Massage Gun Measured Amplitude\" class=\"wp-image-22046\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/zarifa-z-smart-massage-gun-measured-amplitude-1024x585.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/zarifa-z-smart-massage-gun-measured-amplitude-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/zarifa-z-smart-massage-gun-measured-amplitude-768x439.jpg 768w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/zarifa-z-smart-massage-gun-measured-amplitude.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As suspected, Zarifa seems to have inflated the amplitude of this device as well. What surprised us further was that this is roughly the same (9.71mm) amplitude as the Health Plus model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It leaves us wondering: was Zarifa&#8217;s intention to make this a scaled-down version of the Health+, or did they simply overlook adjusting the amplitude?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, a 9.59mm amplitude falls close to the 10mm mark, which is certainly acceptable if you&#8217;re seeking a decent massage. However, to truly elevate your experience, this needs to be coupled with effective percussions and sufficient stall force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s examine whether the percussions fare any better.<\/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>Zarifa&#8217;s claims regarding the Health Plus model&#8217;s percussion range were found to be inflated. Is this model any different?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intriguingly, the listed specifications are identical here too; <strong>1680-3500 RPM<\/strong>. Quite fascinating! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, we needed to verify this, so we turned to our trusty laser tachometer. It registered 1600RPM at the first speed and 2600RPM at top speed. Unsurprisingly, this mirrors the performance of the more premium Health Plus model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we&#8217;ve consistently maintained, if a device doesn&#8217;t deliver at least 12mm of amplitude, it must compensate with highly intensive percussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This already presents an issue with this device. It lacks the necessary thrust and the vibrations don&#8217;t deliver the desired intensity. This leads us to our last possible saving grace: a powerful stall force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speeds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, just before delving into testing the stall force, we observed that this model boasts 20 speed settings. That&#8217;s quite a hefty number to sift through. It led us to ponder momentarily how Zarifa found itself in the realm of budget <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/best-massage-guns-on-amazon\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Amazon massage guns<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, lower-priced brands pack their devices with an abundance of speed gears to bolster their sales. However, such a multitude of speeds isn&#8217;t essential on a massage gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the percussion range isn&#8217;t sufficiently broad to justify this plethora of speeds. In comparison, the 9 speeds on the Health Plus model seem rather minimal.&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 refers to the massage gun&#8217;s capacity to withstand pressure without stalling or coming to a halt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, there aren&#8217;t any universally recognized methods to gauge this characteristic. So, we resorted to our tried-and-true method of comparing this gun to others with established stall force (like <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/theragun-pro-review\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Theragun Pro<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/ekrin-b37s-review\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Ekrin B37S<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/achedaway-pro-review-vs-theragun-hypervolt\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Achedaway Pro<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s worth mentioning that Zarifa rates the motor strength at <strong>20-30W<\/strong>, suggesting it should have the same stall force as the Health+ model (which proved to be on the strong side). But does it really?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, <strong>yes<\/strong>, this device holds its own in terms of power, matching up to its more upscale counterpart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we compared it to the Theragun Pro, which boasts a 60lb stall force, this gun held its ground. It proves significantly challenging to stall. Even at lower speed settings, it packs a considerable punch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what&#8217;s the implication? Essentially, this gun is capable of delivering a profound <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/best-deep-tissue-massage-gun\/\" class=\"ek-link\">deep tissue massage<\/a>, as it can withstand significant pressure when pressed against the body.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\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\">Our Take<\/mark><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zarifa appears to have a penchant for inflating the amplitude and percussion-per-minute figures for their devices, and this one is no exception. Despite this, the actual values aren&#8217;t poor and <strong>can indeed provide a satisfying massage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is this the pinnacle of what a device can offer? Far from it, as there are guns that better exploit these performance aspects. While this device may suffice for most people, superior alternatives exist in the market.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\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>Zarifa might falter when it comes to accurate specifications, but they certainly excel at engineering a <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/quietest-massage-gun\/\" class=\"ek-link\">quiet massage gun<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding noise, we can assertively declare that this gun operates smoothly. During our tests, we didn&#8217;t detect any unsettling crackles or rattles. The operation was seamless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zarifa promotes the noise levels at 40-50dB, but our decibel meter registered slightly higher readings of <strong>51-55dB<\/strong>, which is still impressively quiet.&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>The high-end Z-Smart Health Plus model featured a notably large battery, setting a record with its 5200mAh capacity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this model has a trimmed-down capacity. Zarifa states it&#8217;s approximately <strong>2600mAh<\/strong>, which is roughly half the capacity of their premier model. It&#8217;s also non-removable battery this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A full charge takes about three hours. Our unit arrived partially charged and required approximately half that time to reach full charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zarifa estimates a battery life of around four hours. We believe this might be a little ambitious, particularly when the device is used under pressure &#8211; a condition that tends to deplete the battery more rapidly. We wouldn&#8217;t discount the possibility of the device lasting for about two and a half hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The charging port is found at the bottom of the device next to the activation switch. The charger is a wall charger. So no USB charging here as well. USB charging is great for convenience and <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/best-massage-gun-brands\/\" class=\"ek-link\">many brands<\/a> are adopting it for their devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/z-smart-charging-port-at-the-bottom-of-the-handle.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-id=\"22048\" src=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/z-smart-charging-port-at-the-bottom-of-the-handle.jpg\" alt=\"Z Smart Charging Port At The Bottom Of The Handle\" class=\"wp-image-22048\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/z-smart-charging-port-at-the-bottom-of-the-handle.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/z-smart-charging-port-at-the-bottom-of-the-handle-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/z-smart-charging-port-at-the-bottom-of-the-handle-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/z-smart-charging-port-at-the-bottom-of-the-handle-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/z-smart-charging-port-at-the-bottom-of-the-handle-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/zarif-z-smart-classic-wall-charger.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-id=\"22047\" src=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/zarif-z-smart-classic-wall-charger.jpg\" alt=\"Zarif Z Smart Classic Wall Charger\" class=\"wp-image-22047\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/zarif-z-smart-classic-wall-charger.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/zarif-z-smart-classic-wall-charger-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/zarif-z-smart-classic-wall-charger-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/zarif-z-smart-classic-wall-charger-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/zarif-z-smart-classic-wall-charger-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">No USB-C charging.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warranty and Price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Z-Smart massage gun comes with a <strong>12-month warranty<\/strong>, which is generally adequate for a device of this nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Few brands offer extended coverage, with the exceptions being <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/link\/ekrin-home-page\/?utm_source=massagegunadvice.com&amp;utm_campaign=ekrin_other&amp;utm_content=review_zarifa_z_smart\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Ekrin (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">Ekrin<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/massagegunadvice.com\/link\/lifepro\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Lifepro (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">Lifepro<\/a>, both of which provide lifetime coverage for their guns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-magad-deal-box\">The gun is <strong>priced at $199.99<\/strong>, already reduced from its original price of $249.99.

Nonetheless, it matches the power of the Health Plus model and is about $50 less expensive.
