Where are the differences?

If you look at the values in the comparison table of the two massage pistols, you will quickly notice that they are very similar: The differences between Hypervolt and Hypervolt Plus are very small. The number of steps, strokes per minute and also the number of heads supplied is identical. We also see no difference in the volume.

The only differences between Hypervolt and Hypervolt Plus are the maximum power, weight and battery life.

The Hypervolt Plus has 30 percent more power. You get 90 watts instead of 60. This means the maximum force applied to the tissue is greater and stronger. This is also the reason why the battery life is shorter. The Hypervolt Plus has the same battery as the Hypervolt. Due to the higher performance it is logically more stressed.

Which one is better?

In my opinion, the Hypervolt is quite sufficient. The extra charge for the Hypervolt Plus is too high for my taste and is not worth it for most people. That's why I recommend you to buy the Hypervolt from both of them.
