Pulseroll Ignite Mini vs Pro

In this Pulseroll Ignite Mini vs Pro review, we will compare the recently released entry-level and high-end models of the popular Manchester, England-based brand.

In addition to numerous classic attachments, the Ignite Mini and Ignite Pro both include a unique heated head for problematic muscles and tightness. But what differences are there between the two massage guns, and which one is the better fit for your needs?

This side-by-side comparison will help you find out.

Comparison: Pulseroll Ignite Mini vs Pro

Amplitude

With an amplitude of 8 mm, the Ignite Mini offers a vibrational and surface-level massage experience. The head attachment of the Ignite Pro, on the other hand, travels 12 mm into the muscle tissue, making it much more suitable for percussive treatment.

Force

Especially considering its small size, the Ignite Mini is a surprisingly powerful massage gun. It only begins to stall at around 40 lbs of resistance, allowing it to compete with several normal-sized devices on the market – but not quite with the Ignite Pro, which only reaches its limits at 50 lbs.

Frequency & Speed Levels

Starting at 1,500 percussions per minute (ppm) and reaching up to 3,100 ppm, the Ignite Pro has a wider frequency range than the Ignite Mini. It also comes with an additional speed level, and two modes (slow incremental percussion waves in 5 second intervals, or fast ones in 1 second bursts).

Connectivity

Neither the Ignite Mini nor Pro can be connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth. If you would like to have an app guide you through warm-up and recovery routines developed by professionals, be able to keep track of past sessions, and more, consider the Hypervolt and Theragun devices.

Battery

The Ignite Mini and Pro can be used for up to 6 hours, and then need around 3 hours to be fully charged again. With each treatment not taking more than a few minutes, you can expect both models to last for several days on a single charge.

Noise

Running at full speed, the Ignite Pro operates at around 54 decibels (dB), which is a significant improvement over its predecessor. We will add the noise level for the Ignite Mini as soon as the results are in, expecting it to be somewhere between 50 and 60 dB.

Attachments & Accessories

Six interchangeable head attachments are included with the Ignite Mini, one of them being the heated one that gives the Ignite series its name. The Pro model comes with two additional massage heads. Both variations ship with a carrying case for safe storage and transport.

Weight & Dimensions

In the final round of this Pulseroll Ignite Mini vs Pro comparison, we will have a quick look at the weight and dimensions of the two devices. Unsurprisingly, the Mini is significantly lighter, while also taking up less space in your gym bag than the Pro.

Conclusion: Pulseroll Ignite Mini vs Pro

It should not come as a surprise that the Pulseroll Ignite Mini could not quite keep up with its bigger competitor. Nonetheless, it is an extremely powerful device for its size, offers lots of possibilities for customization thanks to six massage heads, and is both lightweight and compact.

For more demanding users, the Pulseroll Ignite Pro is the better choice. With a higher amplitude and stall force, it is better suited for percussive therapy. On top of that, the two modes, additional speed level, and head attachments make it even more adjustable to your needs than the Mini.
