What they say
PlatinumLED BIOMAX GO
- No Reddit owner of the BIOMAX GO has posted since its July 2026 launch.
- In r/redlighttherapy threads from 2020 to September 2026, owners of BIOMAX 300 to 900 panels mostly praise build and output, and several report years of use without faults, one BIOMAX 900 owner at about three years (July 2026).
- The recurring complaint is the company: a BIOMAX 900 owner's warranty dispute over LEDs turning orange and static shocks (August 2025, 66 comments), a refund for a lost parcel left unanswered for weeks (December 2025), and a return that cost over $250 in freight plus a restocking fee on a motorised stand (August 2026).
- This is panel coverage read for a handheld, a point lower.
- No owner of the MitoPRO Mobile has posted about it on Reddit; the two r/redlighttherapy threads naming it, from August 2025 and August 2026, are shoppers asking for advice.
- Across Mito's range, owners there in 2024 to 2026 mostly praise the metal build of the panels, and several report panels still working after two to five years.
- The complaints are about service beyond the written terms: one owner said Mito declined parts, repair or a discount after a panel was knocked off its stand, and another said a panel that would not turn on drew only a 10 percent coupon.

What they say
PlatinumLED BIOMAX GO
- No written hands-on test of the BIOMAX GO exists yet; Light Therapy Insiders, a market-wide tester that links PlatinumLED at 5 percent off beside rivals' codes, wrote in August 2026 that it had not tested it.
- Wareable, which earns commission across the market, tested a 9th-generation BIOMAX 450 for two months and rated it 4.5 out of 5 (May 2026), praising the voice control and build but calling the panel expensive, heavy and not beginner-friendly.
- Light Therapy Insiders' reviews of the 9th-generation BIOMAX 450 (March 2025) and the PRO ULTRA, both on units PlatinumLED supplied, found most of the output at 660 and 850 nm and flagged the 20 percent restocking fee.
- This is panel coverage read for a handheld, a point lower.
Mito Red Light
- Four written reviews name the MitoPRO Mobile and one measured it.
- Light Therapy Reviews (John DeLuca, May 2026), which earns Mito affiliate commission and gives a discount code, found all five listed peaks on a spectrometer and read 47.13 mW/cm2 at 3 inches on a thermopile, under half the brand's solar-meter figure, and marks down the barrel-jack charger and the small treatment area.
- Mountain Weekly News (April 2026, affiliate price links) measured nothing and reports a red skin mark after starting at full power.
- BioHackingTested links a competing device through an affiliate link and gets core specifications wrong, so it is not relied on.
YouTube
+1 PlatinumLEDThe PlatinumLED BIOMAX GO reading covers the whole brand.
What they say
PlatinumLED BIOMAX GO
- No video shows the BIOMAX GO in use; a Light Therapy Insiders short (July 2026) only reads out the launch specs.
- Alex Fergus of Light Therapy Insiders, a market-wide tester whose descriptions carry a PlatinumLED discount link beside Block Blue Light, Rojo, Infraredi and Mito links, has reviewed BIOMAX panels across generations, from the second-generation BIOMAX 600 (October 2021) to the 9th-generation BIOMAX 450 (February 2025, about 12,500 views) and the PRO ULTRA.
- The reviews are mostly favourable on output, and his dislikes include a stand sold as an extra and faint 1060 nm output.
- This is panel coverage read for a handheld, a point lower.
Mito Red Light MitoPRO Mobile
- The only measured test is the BIOHACK Channel's (April 2025, 14,793 views; affiliate code), which confirms all five peaks on a spectrometer, reads 47.13 mW/cm2 at 3 inches on a thermopile, praises the kickstand, the quarter-step brightness and the 10 Hz pulse, and says the grip may feel wide for small hands.
- Serwiusz's three unboxing and first-impression videos (October 2024 to February 2025) use units Mito sent free and measure nothing, and all four videos predate the June 2026 relaunch.

What they say
PlatinumLED BIOMAX GO
No usable source.
Mito Red Light MitoPRO Mobile
- Mito's Amazon US store sells its two-wavelength 2.0 panels and no listing of this device carries ratings.
- The MitoMIN 2.0 holds 4.5 from 170 ratings, split 78 percent five-star against 3 percent one-star, and Amazon tags its quality in 30 reviews, 29 of them positive; the MitoMID 2.0 holds 4.6 from 61.
- Those are rigid panels, so they say nothing about how this device holds up.
