Verdict
Pros & cons
Die arboleaf CM20C ist eine leise Mini-Pistole für Nacken und Waden, mit 49 bis 53 dB und rund 400 g. Sie taugt für kurze Sitzungen nach Büro oder Sport und für Reisen. Mit 6 mm Hub bleibt die Massage flach, die Taste sitzt ungünstig, und mehrere Geräte werden nach Monaten lauter – bei nur einem Jahr Garantie.
Pros
- Leise mit 49 bis 53 dB über alle vier Stufen
- Kopf bleibt auch bei festem Andrücken nicht stehen
- Rund 400 g, der Arm ermüdet auch nach zehn Minuten nicht
- Akku reicht für mindestens sechs Anwendungen von 15 min
- Druckadaptiver Modus passt das Tempo dem Andruck an
- Bürstenloser Motor, Laden per USB-C
Cons
- Mehrere Geräte werden nach Monaten lauter oder rattern
- Nur 6 mm Hub statt der versprochenen 10 mm
- Taste an der Unterseite, Stufenwechsel nur durch Umgreifen
- Glatter, gerader Griff rutscht manchen aus der Hand
- Teils Aufsätze aus hartem Kunststoff statt Silikon geliefert
Die medisana MG 200 ist eine leichte Mini-Pistole für Nacken und Schultern: Mit 370 g führst du sie lange über Kopf, alle vier Grundformen der Aufsätze sind dabei. Der Hub von 8 mm reicht aber nicht für Oberschenkel und Gesäß, in Tests fällt sie als recht laut auf. Schwerer wiegt, dass mehrfach von Akkus berichtet wird, die nach Monaten ausfallen.
Pros
- Mit 370 g auch über Kopf an Nacken und Schultern lange führbar
- Alle vier Grundformen bei den Aufsätzen: Kugel, Gabel, Kegel, flach
- Smart-Modus passt die Intensität dem Andruck an
- Kompakt mit 14,7 x 12,6 x 5 cm, Koffer im Lieferumfang
- Laden per USB-C, laut Hersteller bis zu 8 h Laufzeit
- 3 Jahre Herstellergarantie
Cons
- Akku fest verbaut, mehrfach Ausfälle nach wenigen Monaten berichtet
- Nur 8 mm Hub, kaum Tiefenwirkung an Oberschenkeln und Gesäß
- In Tests recht lautes Laufgeräusch
- Schon Stufe 1 mit 1.600 Schlägen vereinzelt zu intensiv
- Kein weicher Aufsatz für empfindliche Stellen
