This is my favorite toy of all time. It really lives up to its reputation. I was well aware of how intense the vibrations for this wand were before I purchased it. I did have to get a dimmer to go with it so that I could have better control over the vibrations, and that has made it perfect for me. It gives me the most intense orgasms I have ever had. They leave me in a huge pile of jello before I fall asleep.

The plastic handle is very smooth and gets slippery if your hands are covered in lube. The head of the massager its textured and gathers dust easily if not cleaned properly.

The magic wand has a very recognizable design. I find it very classic and contemporary.I do kind of wish that it had grooves in the handle to make it easier and more comfortable to grip onto. it is rather large and not discrete but can easily be hidden in a drawer or under the bed.

The magic wand has really easy to understand controls, the switch shows low, high, and off. This toy lives up to its reputation of being notoriously loud. I use it when no one is home, or while I have the tv or some music on.

I always unplug this toy after each use, but that is just out of habit. It is rather large and clunky but it fits in my underwear drawer easily. I am also very anal about how clean my toys are and use toy cleaner before and after each use, the only difference with this toy is that it is not waterproof.

This toy is packaged in a more modern design than the hitachi 250 was. the box cannot be used as a gift or storage box. inside came the wand wrapped in plastic with an instruction manual, it did not have a bunch of random plastic or Styrofoam holders.
