Who should buy which
Buyers wanting handheld, cordless red light therapy for face/neck/targeted spots specifically, especially those building a broader circadian-health stack (Bon Charge also makes the best blue-blockers).
You need full-body coverage (go Joovv Elite or Mito Red MitoPRO 1500+), you want the largest LED count per dollar (Hooga wins on raw count), or you don't care about blue-blocker integration.
First-time red light therapy buyers testing the habit, budget-constrained users, or anyone who wants a basic supplemental panel without committing to premium specs.
You're committed to red light therapy long-term (the upgrade path makes Mito Red MitoPRO 1500+ or Joovv Solo the better pick), or you specifically need verified clinical irradiance.
