I want to start his out by saying we are not Hitachi owners as yet and hope to post a follow up with some comparisons in the near future.

That out of the way a very good case can be made for this wand vibe against the Hitachi without even owning it. Most important feature here is cordless convenience, which translates into far better portability. As for power, while it is not likely to match the Hitachi, it has "infinite" settings using its turn dial controls as opposed to Hitachi's low or hi only, so you can dial in your sweet spot for your, well sweet spot.

To the details of this product. It is a wand style vibe, powered by 2 C batteries. My particular unit is hot pink with a white neck. It is controlled by a turn dial built into the base which is rotated through the power range. It is constructed primarily of plastic but the head area where the vibrations are generated is coated in a smooth matte finish silicone. The area immediately below the head is a flexible neck which is not floppy or positionable, it just gives under pressure making it different in respects to a standard classic vibe. It is billed as waterproof, but we can only vouch for shower friendly, as it has not had a submerged test as yet.

Cleanup is a breeze. Soap and hot water, or a silicone friendly toy cleaner/wipe. Then pat it dry. It doesn't have oodles of nooks and crannies to wory about as the design is very smooth.

I am not sure I can say it has any shortcomings as we found it to be absolutely great for both solo and partner fun. In looking over it, I don't fully understand the silicone head area. This limits the lube selection, and while it changes the texture slightly from hard plastic to still hard silicone there is not a notable difference so an all plastic design could have easily been made. As it is very well priced as it I suppose there is a bit of bang for the buck factor by including the silicone.

As mentioned I hope to have a follow up pitting it against the Hitachi, and also perhaps testing the fit of Hitachi attachments as well.
