Conclusion: Power Plate Mini+ vs Hypervolt GO
With its higher amplitude and maximum frequency, the Hypervolt GO is one of the most popular devices in the market for small and lightweight massage guns. It can also be found in the hands of professional athletes including UFC champion Amanda Nunes and players of the PGA Tour.
That said, aside from the amplitude and maximum frequency, the Power Plate Mini+ can definitely keep up with its more popular competitor. It is significantly more powerful and comes with twice the battery life, making it ideal for extended outdoors trips.
