No matter how generally chill we may be, life’s stressors will occasionally, inevitably have us dealing with muscle kinks, cricks and cramps, most commonly in our neck and shoulder area. Not a lot we can do about that … but we can make sure we’re prepared for them by keeping a massage gun on hand. While there are a bunch out there that cost almost as much as a three-month gym membership, the Aerland Portable Handheld Percussion Massage gun has garnered more than 13,000 five-star Amazon reviews — and it’s only going to set you back $20. We’re feeling more relaxed already!

Aerlang Portable Handheld Percussion Massage Gun
Masseuse? You don’t need no stinking masseuse! With this massage gun, you can get a spa-like rubdown right at home.

$23 at Amazon
It’s hard to put a price on comfort, but if you take a look at Amazon, most massage guns will run you at least $50 — usually way more when it comes brands like Theragun. So, at the risk of stating the obvious, scoring this Aerlang for just $20 is a major steal.

The handy massager works deep into muscles to alleviate tension, work out kinks and generally relax the body. It does so by stimulating the circulation of blood and releasing lactic acid in the muscles, thus easing your stiffness. The 20(!) speed settings allow you to customize the action. For even more customization, it comes with six heads that are designed to target specific muscles and body parts. Oh, and it’s almost silent, so there’s no loud commotion when you’re trying to wind down.

Another plus: The bright design of the device’s LCD touch screen makes it easy to see the battery level and the mode the massager is working in. You can even adjust your settings on the fly without having to fiddle with dials or buttons.
