It's so difficult to come up with the best Father's Day gift. With Taiwanese Father's Day approaching, I decided to get my dad the Booster MINI X mini massage gun from Project Mars since he often complains about neck and back pain.

I previously bought an advanced mini massage gun from them, the Booster MINI 3 ultra-powerful, which I absolutely loved, but it ended up in Ares' hands. My dad already has a massage chair at home, but he needs something specifically for his neck and shoulders. He doesn't exercise regularly and doesn't like too much pressure during massages, so the entry-level mini massage gun, Booster MINI X, is a perfect fit for his needs.

Project Mars is also launching a flash sale for Father's Day from 7/28 to 9/19, offering a 47% discount for OPEN POINT members who want to purchase the Booster MINI X.

Best Mini Massage Gun—Booster MINI X Review: Small&Light

The Booster MINI X mini massage gun is an entry-level and budget-friendly massage gun that boasts an attractive appearance, lightweight body, and practical functionality. The sleek matte black and red color combination of the Booster MINI X exudes elegance, also making it an excellent gift option with wide acceptance and enduring appeal.

As the best entry-level mini massage gun, the Booster MINI X offers 4-speed settings with a vibration frequency range of 1800–3500RPM, allowing users to select gentle massages or deep relaxation based on their individual needs. It caters to a range of massage intensities, making it particularly suitable for those with a smaller build, sensitivity to pain, or elders. For instance, my dad finds it powerful massages painful, nor does he need deep massages for soreness caused by exercising. The Booster MINI X fits his needs perfectly, as it helps alleviate the shoulder and neck pain from prolonged computer use and looking down during surgeries.

The Booster MINI X is also incredibly compact, measuring only 15 centimeters in length, about the same size as an iPhone 12. Heavy massage guns can easily tire your hands when using them on you shoulders and back, this becomes even more challenging for people like my dad. He's in his 60's and has reduced flexibility, it's already quite difficult for him to hold a massage gun up to his back, and a heavy machine makes it even more exhausting. The Booster MINI X is mostly made of aluminum alloy, weighing just 450 grams, allowing my dad to use it effortlessly without needing to constantly ask us to help him with neck massages.

Even with its portable carrying case, the Booster MINI X measures only 17.5x17.5 centimeters and weighs a total of 652 grams, making it convenient to carry around. It would also make an excellent Father's Day gift for dads who frequently travel for work! My family is planning to attend my cousin's wedding in Hong Kong soon, and we have no worries about fitting the Booster MINI X into our luggage or it exceeding the weight limit.

Best Mini Massage Gun—Booster MINI X Review: Great After-Sales Service

The Booster MINI X massage gun is more than just a must-have miniature massager; it also boasts considerate and comprehensive after-sales service from the Project Mars team.

Father's Day Gift Idea—Booster MINI X Review: 7-11 Flash Sale

What's the best Father's Day gift that dads want the most? Project Mars has helped you picked out the best entry-level mini massage gun, Booster MINI X.

Having tried many cheap massage guns, I believe that quality is more important than price when it comes to choosing a massage gun. Most low-priced massage guns in the NTD$1,000 range have short lifespans and no warranty, making them less cost-effective in the long run. Before finding out about Project Mars, my massage guns were consumables that needed frequent replacement. But how would you understand how good it is without firsthand experience,?

That's why Project Mars has collaborated with 7-Eleven to offer a flash sale, allowing everyone to purchase the Booster MINI X mini massage gun at an affordable price. The original price of NTD$3,499 has been slashed to NTD$1,888, and Project Mars will directly deliver it to our doorstep.

July 28th 15:00 to August 7th 10-Day Flash Sale: go to any 7-Eleven and purchase the massage gun at the discounted price by providing your OPEN POINT membership phone number .

August 8th 15:00 to September 19th: use your OPEN POINT APP to purchase the gun at a discounted price using just 6 OPEN POINTS.

Best Mini Massage Gun—Booster MINI X Review: Massage Heads

The Booster MINI X comes with four different plastic massage heads of various shapes and sizes, allowing for targeted relaxation and massage of different muscle areas, making it easy to enjoy a full-body relaxation.

The round head is suitable for overall muscle relaxation. Both my dad and I find it great for targeting the shoulder, neck, and back muscles for overall relaxation.

The flat head is perfect for relaxing large muscle groups, I particularly love using it on my glutes and thighs after a tough workout. It's also great for massaging the calf muscles after cycling.

The bullet head is designed to target pain points. The plastic bullet head of the Booster MINI X is different from the metal bullet head of the Booster MINI 3; the metal one has a sharper emd. The plastic bullet head has a rounded end, making it gentler. I find it suitable for massaging acupoints and lymph nodes. Holding it slightly further away from my head, I can gently massage my temples. I particularly enjoy using it on the side of my chest below the collarbone, where my chest connects to my armpit; especially before my period, it can effectively relieve breast tenderness.

Lastly, there's the fork head, which my dad loves the most. As the name suggests, its dual forked shape is designed to massage the muscles on both sides of the spine. Both my dad and I love using it to massage the back of the neck. During my period, using it to massage the sides of the lumbar and tail bone can effectively alleviate soreness and fatigue.
