Pulseroll Pro vs Ignite Pro

In this Pulseroll Pro vs Ignite Pro review, we will compare the first and second generation flagship models from the popular Manchester, England-based company.

Ignoring the colour scheme, both devices look almost identical. The Ignite Pro obviously ships with a heated attachment, giving it its name. But what other 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 Pro vs Ignite Pro

Amplitude

With an amplitude of 12 mm, the Pulseroll Pro and Ignite Pro strike a balance between the more vibrational, surface-level massage experience offered by devices with lower amplitudes and the more percussive feeling one resulting from higher amplitudes.

Force

Pulseroll’s premium models of the first and second generation also share their stall force. The motor inside the Pulseroll Pro and Ignite Pro only reaches its limits at around 50 lbs of resistance, making it powerful enough for athletes and other demanding users.

Frequency & Speed Levels

Starting at 1,300 percussions per minute (ppm) and reaching up to 3,300, the Pulseroll Pro comes with a wider frequency range. The Ignite Pro has an additional speed level, as well as two modes (slow incremental percussion waves in 5 second intervals, or fast ones in 1 second bursts).

Connectivity

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

Battery

The Pulseroll Ignite Pro lasts for up to 6 hours, giving it double the battery life of its predecessor. That said, with each treatment only taking a few minutes, even the 3 hours of the Pulseroll Pro should be enough to get you through several days on a single charge.

Noise

Noise emissions is another area where Pulseroll made huge improvements. While the older model operates at a noise level of up to 71 decibels (dB), the maximum of the Ignite Pro now stands at 54 dB – making it perfectly suitable for the office or similarly quiet places.

Attachments & Accessories

With six interchangeable attachments, the Pulseroll Pro is highly adjustable to your needs and the muscle group you are about to target next. The Ignite Pro even ships eight tips, including a heated one giving it its name. A travel case makes sure that everything stays organized and protected.

Weight & Dimensions

In the final round of this Pulseroll Pro vs Ignite Pro comparison, we will have a quick look at the weight and dimensions of the two devices. Both share a weight of 1.1 kg. The older version is technically speaking a bit larger, although the difference is almost impossible to spot.

Conclusion: Pulseroll Pro vs Ignite Pro

The Pulseroll Pro comes with a similar amplitude and stall force, and provides plenty of possibilities for adjustments thanks to a wide frequency range and numerous attachments. If the lower battery life and higher noise level don’t bother you, it is worth a closer look.

The better massage gun overall, however, is the Pulseroll Ignite Pro. Its two modes and heated massage head can help you with problematic muscles and tightness. And of course, there are the massive increase in battery life, as well as the impressive decrease of noise.
