Therabody WaveRoller review

The Therabody WaveRoller is our vibrating pick for athletes who want more than plain foam. Therabody describes it as traditional foam rolling combined with vibration, with 5 vibration intensity levels and a wave texture on the surface for extra pressure and grip. The spec sheet lists 12.0 by 5.1 inches, 3.3 lbs, hypo-allergenic high-density EVA foam and a 180 minute battery from a 12V lithium-ion cell. The box includes a carrying bag and power adapter, and the Therabody app adds routines, guided videos and device control. It costs $179.99 with free shipping and returns, HSA/FSA is accepted, and returns are open for 30 days. Against the Hyperice Vyper 3, it costs $29 less and offers more intensity levels. The downsides are the price compared with plain rollers, a 1-year limited warranty, and a 12 inch length that is better for limbs than the full back.
