Unlike every other massage gun we tested, it doesn’t come with a carrying case—you have to purchase it separately for an additional $50. This is a small issue, but I found it irksome, especially because the Hypervolt is one of the pricier massage guns and would be enough for me to avoid buying it on principle.
