Hyperice Venom Go - Advanced Heat + Vibration Wearable (Venom Go) - FSA and HSA Eligible

I started a job where I was constantly on my feet 9 - 10 hours a day and so not used to that. Pulled my back out by the third day. Tried all the regular stuff, heat pads, icy hot, etc. I wanted something I could wear at work to help during shift not maintenance afterwards. This little thing is awesome. I just put the adhesive pad on my lower back where the trouble was and attach the massager. Fits undetected under my clothing except the soft vibrating noise when turned on. 3 heat settings and 3 massage settings. Can be used in all different combinations or alone. Stays on about 10 minutes and turns off automatically. Got me through the tough times until my body adjusted. Wow, best find ever.

Reusable heat and vibration pad to provide localized relief

This is one of my favorite things I own. If you have chronic pain, this is life changing. I love that it is without wires, so you can move around once you feel better. The adhesive sticks well to your skin but also peels off / resticks without issue. It also gets hot enough to soothe your aches (my biggest concern). The battery life is good. It's super portable, too. I love this product so much I've talked several others into getting thier own. Though, you could always share with someone else since it comes with more than one patch (and the replacement/extra patches are pretty cheap).

This is a very low quality device. It’s pretty noisy and generally very ineffective / useless. It just vibrates a little bit.

This device only heats and vibrates. It doesn’t massage. Easy to use and well built

This little machine is excellent! It gives a wonderful amount of heat and stir that regularly helps me with my aches, especially after a hard workout. I highly recommend this item

I am a fan of Hyperice! I have the Hypervolt Plus, and recently purchased the newest Hypervolt 2 Pro. That will be a totally differnt review than this.I purchased the Venom GO mostly because I like the idea of targeted relief that can support all of my family members with recovering from various bumps and bruise from the activities of daily living.Initially, like all their products, the packaging is on point, very secure, and nicely styled. After opening, and sorting through the QS Guide, and downloading the manual - and registering the product - which didn't take as long as the initial 3 hour charge needed to use it. Once it was ready to go, I tore open a pad - connected as instructed and NOTHING. didn't work - so I went through the paces again - and still no go. I found a thread saying that sometimes the pads are DOA - so I tore open another - still nothing. reached ot to Hyperice CS - the troubleshooting did nothing but teach me that the pads are mostly junk. You get three that are supposed to last for 20+ bouts of use, I ordered an additional "go pack" so that I'd have a case and extra pads so I would have to worry about it later. Well, it wasn't until I tore into the extra pack that I got one that worked. SO, if a person only used what came with the product, I imagine some very unhappy experiences. So, I know those can be replaced, and not too expensive - so let's get on with the function... okay, the heat this little device puts out is pretty impressive... however, the "massage" feature is total cheese. I don't see how it could have ANY therapuetic effect at all. I wasn't expecting the percussion like power of the Hypervolt, but should feel more potent than my 1990's Motorola pager. Very underwhelmed with that feature.Overall, for the price point - this product doesn't meet my expectations - bad QC on the pads, a massage feature that is pretty much pointless, and a good bit of time wasted on a product I really wanted to love. I am hoping future itterations are better... and cheaper.

As someone who has sore shoulders/back due to a full day of working at a desk, I was excited to try the Hyperice Venom Go for some relief. While the heat and vibration provided some temporary comfort, the battery life of the device left me feeling drained.I felt like I was constantly having to charge the device, which was almost as frustrating as my back pain. It's a shame because the heat and vibration combination did feel nice on my sore muscles, but I found myself having to cut my sessions short due to the battery dying every 30-40 minutes.The part that bothers me more is the sticky pad that you are supposed to reuse. After 3 uses, I see the borders of the pad already losing its adhesive. I don't see it lasting the 20 times Hyperice suggests it could. And at $10/pad for replacements, I can see this getting pricey really quickly.All in all, this little gadget is a decent option for temporary relief, but don't expect it to be a cure-all for your sore body. It's a bit like that friend who's always there for you, but only for a little while before they have to go charge their battery.
