This toy is one of the most powerful toys I have ever had the pleasure of playing with (no pun intended, right?). Its vroom packs a massive punch...the downside being that it does have quite a bit of noise. Its a bit bulky but I personally had no issues with that.

I have tried similar toys to the Hitachi. I was not very pleased with them. They were either too small, or too hot once they were in use for a while and mostly just very disappointing.

It functions well not just as vibrator but also gives a great full body massage. I love using it with my partner. It makes playtime a lot more interesting. Especially since I started some new medications that have made it extremely difficult to achieve orgasms.

Cleaning it is pretty easy. Because the Hitachi Magic Wand is corded, it is not water submersible so cleaning is a bit more tedious. I use antibacterial toy wipes, I'm not certain what other methods are safe for this particular type of toy but that is my personal preference.

The material is plastic. It warms up a bit when its been in use for a while, but not to the point where it is uncomfortable to the touch. though to someone else it may be too warm. The cord is about 6 feet long so you may need to be relatively close to an outlet in order to may this toy work for you. I have a power strip by my nightstand where I keep my phone plugged in so its not a super big issue to me.

it has 3 settings, off, low and high. the low setting still is quite powerful. I have not really felt the need to move up to the high setting just yet. I have attempted it once and became kind of numb because of the intensity of the vibrations. If this is an issue for you then you may want to reconsider this toy.

I'm definitely not as much of a fan of the Magic Wand as I once was. It is quite loud and its vibrations are so powerful that I start going numb after a short period of time. Its a good toy, but definitely not for every day use.
