Why we love it
Wareable tested the Solo 3.0 in May 2026, rated Joovv 4.6 out of 5, praised build quality and the app, and found hanging it on a door convenient for saving space.
Light Therapy Insiders measured peaks at 660.7nm and 853.6nm, matching Joovv's stated 660nm and 850nm, with zero flicker.
Joovv says Intertek certified the Solo 3.0 to IEC 60601 medical electrical safety standards, including IEC 60601-1-11 for home use.
The terms are buyer-friendly for the category: a 2-year limited warranty and 60-day returns with no restocking fee, per Joovv.

- A 2025 meta-analysis of 19 trials with 672 participants rated the evidence that light applied before exercise reduces muscle soreness as low certainty. Source
