Verdict

Pros & cons

Die Bob and Brad C2 ist eine leise, leichte Mini-Pistole für Nacken, Schultern, Arme und Waden. Mit 8 mm Hub bleibt sie an Oberschenkeln und Gesäß flach, und schon Stufe 1 schlägt kräftig zu. Der Haken: Im Alltag werden mehrfach Akkuausfälle nach wenigen Wochen genannt. Wenn du kurze Lockerung zwischendurch suchst, ist sie dank sauberer Verarbeitung und bürstenlosem Motor trotzdem eine ordentliche Wahl.

Pros

  • In einem Test leise mit 47 bis 51 dB aus 40 cm
  • Rund 680 g leicht, gut für Nacken, Arme und Waden
  • Bürstenloser Motor und saubere Verarbeitung ohne Klappern
  • Fünf Aufsätze inklusive weichem Luftkissen für empfindliche Stellen
  • Laden per USB-C, Akku reicht in Tests etwa eine Woche
  • Einhandbedienung über einen einzigen Knopf auf der Rückseite

Cons

  • Mehrfach berichtete Akkuausfälle nach wenigen Wochen
  • Mit 8 mm Hub wenig Tiefenwirkung an Oberschenkeln und Gesäß
  • Schon Stufe 1 mit 2.000 Schlägen pro Minute recht kräftig
  • Starker Chemiegeruch von Griff und Tasche zu Beginn
  • Lädt in einem Test nur mit dem mitgelieferten Kabel

Die Theragun Mini 2.0 ist eine kompakte Zweitpistole für unterwegs, die für ihre Klasse ungewöhnlich tief arbeitet. An Waden, Armen und Schultern reicht ihre Kraft, unter festem Druck bremst der Motor früh ab. Für Oberschenkel und Gesäß greifst du besser zu einer Standard-Pistole; dazu überträgt sich die Vibration spürbar in die Hand.

Pros

  • 12 mm Hub, für die Mini-Klasse ungewöhnlich tief und in Tests bestätigt
  • Rund 450 g, passt mit Softcase in Jacken- oder Sporttasche
  • Laden per USB-C in rund 90 min, kein eigenes Ladegerät nötig
  • App mit Druckanzeige und geführten Programmen, Bedienung auch ohne App
  • Bürstenloser Motor, 50 bis rund 60 dB je nach Stufe

Cons

  • Motor bremst schon bei mittlerem Druck, bei festem Druck bleibt der Kopf stehen
  • Vibration überträgt sich spürbar in die Hand und ermüdet den Arm
  • Standardkugel und Dämpfer fühlen sich fast gleich an, kein spitzer Kegel
  • Wird bei langer Ganzkörpermassage warm und braucht Pausen
  • Akku hält in Tests eher 90 statt 120 min
