Ares often complains about how the cheap mini massage gun we got at the night market is not strong enough. When I told him to get a big, proper massage gun, he said it would take up too much space. Since I didn't get him a birthday present this year, I decided to make up for it with the Booster MINI 3 massage gun from Project Mars.
Even the color—Space Silver—was named to our liking. We love futuristic sci-fis and space stuff, which is why our bikes are wrapped in silver car wrap, too! My bike is named Enterprise, shut up it's not lame, it's super cool. Plus, Mars is literally the Roman version of Ares. This Project Mars Booster MINI 3 massage gun was brought to us by destiny.
Best Mini Massage Gun—Booster MINI 3 Review: Powerful
The Booster MINI 3 massage gun offers five different speed settings, providing users with the flexibility to select the appropriate level for their needs. With a vibration frequency range of 2500-4500RPM, it can quickly alleviate muscle tension and surpasses some larger professional massage guns. Its maximum force of 142100mN delivers a stronger and more effective massage compared to other mini massage guns. The Booster MINI 3 also features deep-level high-frequency vibration technology, reaching 10mm deep into your muscle tissue, helping relax deep muscles and provide a more complete massage experience.
Massage guns aim to alleviate muscle tension, but some lower-priced models offer only minimal relief and fail to satisfy users' needs. I purchased several massage guns priced around NTD$1,000 for Ares, but he always complained about their insufficient power. He even exerted extreme force pressing down on the massage guns while using them, which made me concerned about possible injuries.
Initially, Ares was skeptical about the Booster MINI 3, assuming all small massage guns were the same. However, he was pleasantly surprised by its potency, and even the second-speed level proved adequate for certain areas. He had to reluctantly admit that I made the right choice this time.
I was also impressed by the powerful vibration of the Booster MINI 3, which is quite noticeable during use. The vibration is so fast and strong that even the photos I took appeared blurry, and it was not because I lacked the skill to focus. Due to spending long hours working on my computer writing and photo editing, my neck and shoulders often become stiff. Even massage therapists are surprised by the level of tightness. Regular mini massage guns provide little relief, feeling as ineffective as poking cement with styrofoam. However, using the Booster MINI 3 for 10-15 minutes provides more comfort and relaxation than stretching.
Best Mini Massage Gun—Booster MINI 3 Review: Small and Light
The Booster MINI 3 massage gun is not only practical, but stylish. It comes in 3 trendy colors, including Space Silver, Mountain Green (aquamarine), and Phoenix (orange and yellow gradient), the sleek design and high-quality texture immediately caught my eye.
Aside from its appearance, the Booster MINI 3 has a unique anti-shake patent that provides a more stable and accurate massage. The whole machine is made of aluminum alloy, making it especially light with a weight of only 530 grams, reducing wrist strain and making it more convenient to carry around. Its mini and lightweight design allows me to use it on myself or to give Ares a massage without feeling tired.
The Booster MINI 3 is approximately 15x8.5 cm, and the size including its carrying case measures to be 18x22 cm, making it easy for me to pack the whole set into my gym bag, providing immediate muscle relaxation and repair after exercise, whenever I need it.

Best Mini Massage Gun—Booster MINI 3 Review: Massage Heads
An instruction manual accompanies the Booster MINI 3, detailing the functions of its various massage heads, so I will be brief. Initially, Ares dismissed the different massage heads as unnecessary gimmicks, thinking that only strength mattered. But after trying them, he was so pleased that he started bossing me around, telling me to switch the massage heads for him.
The Booster MINI 3 includes six different types of massage heads: two plastic, two silicone, and two metal. Each head is designed with different shapes and sizes to target specific muscles and body parts for complete relaxation.
The silicone heads consist of a round head and a cat paw head. The cat paw head is ideal for full-body relaxation, which I like to use on my thighs after cycling. I find the round head great for targeting the shoulder, neck, and back muscles for overall relaxation.
The plastic heads include a flat head and a spade head. The flat head is perfect for relaxing large muscle groups, I particularly loves using it on my glutes and thighs after a tough workout. I find it especially useful for massaging the area between the outer side of my glutes and thighs after doing walking lunges. The spade head is good for deep muscle relaxation, which Ares likes to use on the back of his shoulders and near his shoulder blades after working out his back and shoulders.
The metal heads consist of a bullet head and a roller head. The bullet head targets pain points and can be used with essential oils. I like to use it to massage the back of my neck and the soles of my feet. The roller head is for relaxing the arms and legs, and both Ares and I like using it on our calves after a long day of walking. It makes my legs feel so much lighter after a nice massage.
If you order the Booster MINI 3 from the official website of Project Mars, you'll receive three additional massage heads, including a plastic bullet head, a round head, and a fork head. These are the same massage heads that come with the bestselling Booster MINI 2, and when used with the upgraded Booster MINI 3, they further enhance your massage experience. The Booster MINI 3 is a powerful massage gun with multiple features, truly the best choice for muscle relaxation and fatigue relief.
