Siriously Overrated

She's highly overrated and a little disappointing for me. I expected this to be the 'end all' in terms of the perfect vibrator because so many people gloat about her. Unfortunately, she left me wanting for more, quite a bit more. Consider Siri worth a solid 3.5 stars, but I'll round down because any toy as expensive as this one that can't get me off (by itself) is upsetting.

Pros:

Cons:
Not powerful enough, Not waterproof, Slippery when Lubricated, Vibrations hurt my fingers, Expensive

Use

I believe Siri has become one of the 'legendary' vibrators. Everyone wants one and everyone who gets one brags about how amazing she is. She's held in a high regard with very few negative opinions.

This resulted in some expectations that she just didn't/couldn't live up to.

I thought this would be the kind of toy I could stick down my pants for a quick orgasm. I was wrong. This is the kind of toy you lounge around with for a while, or use in conjunction with other kinds of stimulation.

In fact, I can't expect this toy to get me off without another kind stimulation. The shape was completely wrong for me; when I want a quick clitoral orgasm I need pinpoint stimulation but Siri stimulates my whole vulva.

That being said, when I couple this toy with penetration of any kind, vibrating or not, real penis or dildo, it gives me some incredible orgasms. While it doesn't give me the quick "1-2-3 I win" kind of endings I was hoping for, it is excellent when I need a little extra stimulation during sex or when I have some time to burn during my toy-time.

Material / Texture

The Siri is made of silicone and hard plastic. The silicone is velvety smooth and slightly shiny. The plastic is slick, and gets very slippery it gets lube on it. I personally never use lube with this toy because the fact that it isn't waterproof (at all) means that the use of lube would make it hard to clean.

The control buttons are made of a softer, flexible plastic.

This toy is excellent for beginners, and advanced users. She's cute and unoffensive visually, is very easy to use plus can be expected to last a long time without wasting batteries.

Siri is very rigid, with no give at all. The silicone is merely a thin layer cover a hard plastic shell.

No smell, no taste.
    • Rigid
    • Smooth

Design / Shape / Size

I honestly think the reason Siri doesn't work as well as I was hoping is because of the shape. The only place you can get pinpoint stimulation is through the edge on the front. Edges don't work for me, apparently.

When I place the bump on the bottom of Siri on my clit, the vibrations diffuse out through my entire vulva which doesn't do anything for me. Unless I'm getting penetrated at the same time. That's why this toy and I don't jive as well as she might for other people.

In terms of size, she is way smaller than I expected. Almost like a computer mouse that's been reduced in size by about 30%. Very palm size, very discreet. I love how little this toy is, perfect for partner play. And again, partner play is the only way she's useful for me.

The buttons are placed directly under my fingers but they don't get pushed on accident. I have to make a conscious effort to press them to change the speed.

Functions / Performance / Controls

There's quite a few reviews detailing the various different functions so I don't feel the need to go into it here. That said, the only modes that get me off are the constant vibration and the random vibration.

Constant vibration is the first function, the Random vibration is the very last.

I refer to Random as Chaos mode, because it shifts through various vibration intensities and lengths. There's no way to anticipate what comes next. I almost always switch to this mode first thing, then switch back to constant vibration when I'm warmed up enough to get off.

The place of highest intensity on this vibrator is the very center tip, at the 'fold'. The vibrations are pretty well diffused over the whole toy though, which is why I complain that I can feel them too much in my fingers. When the power is up high enough to get me off (the highest it can go) it makes my fingers tingly uncomfortably. This doesn't last too long after I turn her off, but it still bothers me.
    • Easy to use
    • Multiple settings
    • Rechargeable

Care and Maintenance

NOT WATERPROOF.

Not at all. That little open hole on the end leads to all the mechanic workings on the inside. If you get water in there, you risk killing your expensive toy. I don't think that's covered by the warranty. If you DO get water in there, tap it (port side down) on the palm of your hand to try to get all the water out, then let it dry for at least a full 2 days. I personally would let it dry for at least 5 days.

The silicone part of this toy also cannot have any silicone lube touch it. Bad things will happen. So play it safe, and use water-based lube, if you need it. You likely won't, because it isn't insertable.
    • Hard to clean

Packaging

Siri comes in the standard, luxury packaging that LELO is known for. I actually use Siri's box to store a couple other small toys (Pocket Rocket, Luna Balls, Bimini Flash) as well as the info packets to some of my other toys.

She also comes with a long satin drawstring bag, the same one that comes with Gigi or Ella. I didn't really understand this because she only takes up half the bag, but she fits perfectly in the smaller bag that came with the Luna Balls.

The information packet is sufficient, and includes many extra languages. Also included are the warranty information and quality guarantee.

This would make an excellent gift, very classy!
    • Discreet looking packaging
    • Good for storage
    • Would make a nice gift

Personal comments

This is one of those toys that makes me yearn for the ability to give it half-star ratings. If Eden Fantasy's had the ability, I would give Siri a 3.5 overall, 3.5 vrooms and 1.5 bees.

There's a lot to be said about the quality of this toy, and if that's all I was rating, it'd be a 5-star, hands down. But I expect any vibrator that costs about $100 to get me off.



(Also, sorry for switching between calling Siri a 'she' and an 'it'. She's so cute she should be a girl, but I know it's just an object that cannot have a gender.)
Follow-up commentary
I'm still not entirely sure what Siri isn't doing right. I blame the flat head (and lack of pinpointability), but, once in a blue moon, I can get her in a position (generally between my partner and me) that blows me out of the water. In fact, the times she's given me an orgasm has been in conjunction with my partner/penetration.

I know LELO understands how to make quality vibrators, such as this one, and knows what the average person might be looking for in a vibrator: quiet, hand-held, easy to use, decently powerful. And for some people, Siri combines all these qualities in an adorable little package. But I'm not one of those people.

If you know your body well, and know that you like vibrations that aren't entirely pinpoint, but are more diffuse across your vulva, this toy may be perfect for you. But, sadly, it just generally doesn't work how I need/want it to.

Thanks for the review, and sorry this didn't work for you. There seems to be a really wide range of opinions on this vibe, and you're definitely not the only one who didn't find it to be strong enough.

Nice review! Was going to buy this, but don't think I'll risk it now. Thank you for all the nice details on Siri! I've wanted this one for a while, but I really don't think it would work for me either now that I know more about it. I don't like paying that much for a vibe that can't get me off all by itself. Sorry this one was a little disappointing for ya.

Thanks for addressing the hype vs. your experience. Shopping for designer vibes can be such a PITA when it's not clear whether they're hyped for their looks or for their performance. This helped!

  • Why Did The Lelo Siri Get Such Mixed Reviews?
    • Why Did The Lelo Siri Get Such Mixed Reviews? Was is based on expectations of comparing it to the other Lelo line? Other comparable products? Price point. Was there over heating/ charging issues. How does the vibration field/ strength compare to the Liv & Mona. Who (here) has tried all three?

      I wish there was a better video review. The one posted is flashy, but not very informative. It would be really nice if someone would compare the difference between the three Lelo toys i have listed.

      *edit- looks like the main complaints are non-waterproof & lacking Vroom for some. Does that pretty well sum it up?
    • lol I feel like you answered your own question. um, all I can say is reread the reviews. I know that what I gathered was that it heated up super quick and it was incredibly uncomfortable or down right painful for some.
    • The Siri has 31 reviews up, 20 of which give it 5 stars, 8 give it 4 stars, and only 3 go lower. That seems pretty positive to me. :) Though truly, you're not really going to get a better answer to your questions than from the reviews themselves.

  • If you had to choose one lelo product what would it be
    • So I've seen in other discussions a wide variety of choices. I want to know if you could only have one Lelo product which would it be and why. Do you already own one?
    • Quote: So I've seen in other discussions a wide variety of choices. I want to know if you could only have one Lelo product which would it be and why. Do you already own one?
      I have the Soraya and it's one of my favorites (though I do wish it were a bit stronger). I also have the Nea and my Luna beads are shipping as I type.

      I have my eye on the Elise but it's not something I'd die without, you know? Lelo has some motion sense products that just launched that work like a Wii controller I think that's pretty freaking awesome but I'm waiting on some reviews to come out first. I'm also kinda like the Alia but if the motion sense reviews are good I'd pick those up before the Alia.

      I will likely never buy a Siri because I need intense vibrations not lots of patterns.
    • Mona! I have Siri and Ella and they're great but I am soo exciting about buying the Mona in my next order. I've wanted that one for ages and ages :)

  • Zini Seed or Lelo Siri?
    • I've been on the market for a new, strong clitoral vibrator. I've been an avid Hitachi user for a few years, but have been slowly weaning myself off that and have been using the Lelo GiGi as my go-to clit toy.
      Although I really like the GiGi as a clit toy vibe, I know it's not for that and sometimes the vibrations seem really weak to me. I've been looking at both the Seed and the Siri, but how do these two compare? Does someone have both? Which one is stronger, etc?
    • I don't have the seed but I do know that the Siri isn't super strong. And there aren't any reviews for the Seed up yet, are there?
    • There is some Seed reviews. Both vibes sound good, but I'd go with the Seed. I just ordered the Womolia which is supposed to be quite strong as well.

  • I have a discount for a LELO toy...which should I get?
    • I have a 40% off discount to Lelo's website, but I don't know what to get. I already own the Ina, the Ella, and the personal moisturizer. Of course I want EVERYTHING, but at this point I've narrowed it down to a few things. The new Mia, the Luna Beads, the candle/massage oil, or maybe the Siri. I've been buying lots of sex toys lately which is why I'm leaning towards the Luna Beads because they're cheaper and I don't own any Kegel exercisers yet. What would you do with a discount as awesome as this one?

      If you haven't already used it or it hasn't expired, I'd go with the new Mia, it's supposed to be twice as strong!
      Also, how'd you get such an awesome coupon?
    • I'm curious about what you ended up choosing! And yes, that coupon is awesome!

  • Waterproof?
    • Is this waterproof or splashproof?
    • Quote: Is this waterproof or splashproof?
      No it's not waterproof and i baby mine to much to test but because the charger port is completly open it is likely that water would go in and then she would die, and that would be awful because the lack of water tolerance is her only fault. so i'm going to say no to splashproof as well.
    • Okay thanks! I was a bit confused about that. :)

  • Would like to know...
    • Just curious about this product, please let me know your personal experiences so I can make a decision whether to buy it or not. Thanks
    • I would go check out the reviews on the Siri. It includes the reviewers personal experience with the Siri, ans you can get multiple opinions that way.
    • Quote: Just curious about this product, please let me know your personal experiences so I can make a decision whether to buy it or not. Thanks
      I haven't gotten a chance to do my review yet but I have to say that it's amazing, almost silent deep and rumbly very compact and conveniant to hold, i guess the real deciding factor between this and a lot of others is how deep of a vibration you like/need and how much you're willing to pay for it, i love mine and have not a regret in the world for getting it, though to be fare with coupons and points I got it a lot cheaper than i would have otherwise.
