Hitachi hit me like a ton of bricks.
If you're looking for an orgasm that will make your back arch so far it snaps, grab Hitachi and go for a spin. His deep, thrummy vibrations and crazy-intense speeds will leave you spent. If you're looking for a slower, less intense feeling, I highly encourage you to keep walking, there's nothing good for you here.Published: October 8, 2011
Pros:
Amazing intensity.
Deep, thrummy vibrations.
Electric.
Durable.

Cons:
Too powerful.
I used to long for this toy. I am not exaggerating, either. I remember being a little girl and overhearing some of my older cousins talk about this toy, that was in a magazine. It was advertised like a personal massager - you know, for your back and neck and such? And then I heard one giggle and say to the other "who would use it for that?". I had no idea what they were talking about until I got quite a bit older, and it's taken me until now to get up the balls to actually buy one for myself. Not because I couldn't afford it, or didn't want one, or had no experience with toys. Mainly just because I did not want to ruin the image in my mind of what this beast was capable of, because I have heard about how amazing it is for so much of my life.
And holy crap, it is amazing, not even going to lie. But it's almost so amazing that it's too much. This thing is so strong, I'm surprised it's not gas powered. The vibrations in this are -exactly- what I have always loved; the deep, thrummy ones that leave you shaking to your very core, not those tiny little bumble-bee wing ones. And the Hitachi is exactly that type of deep, thrummy, core-shaking vibration. And that's just the LOW setting.
It's actually kind of deceptive, because when you look at this thing, it looks as far from an orgasm as you can really imagine. It's a plain, white color, with a blue shaft-thing that connects to a white "tennis ball" thing. On the handle (which is bulky and almost cumbersome), there's a switch (that looks like something you'd find on an old piece of hospital machinery), with only two settings - HIGH and LOW. It's made of a solid-grade medical plastic, with a white cord of about 6 feet that plugs into the wall. Probably a good thing, too, because this beast has so much power it would go through batteries in seconds. I haven't honestly bothered to lick the toy, so I couldn't tell you how it tasted, but it does have a very slight chemical smell right out of the box. After a month, it's gone.
On a few side notes, the Hitachi is NOT for insertion. If you want something to go INSIDE of you, buy one of the attachments. This thing is not water proof. It is not even really water resistant, and it is plugged directly into a power source, so I suggest using some common sense in how you clean it. Don't boil it or submerge it or wash it in the sink. Use hygienic wipes, wash cloths, and sprays or gels to keep it clean. Don't share it, either. If you need to, you can fit a condom on it, but I'm sure it's quite a hassle, but I digress.
High is actually a setting that I was scared to try. If the setting of "LOW" were the "HIGH", and there was a setting that was 2/3rds of the current "LOW" setting, I would be in heaven, and I would probably leave my SO for this baby. Needless to say, I didn't spend much time in "HIGH".
Fortunately for my nethers and I, I was already aroused from just the thought of this when the package arrived, that I was able to orgasm, and very well, at that. However I was left with this amazingly powerful orgasm, and still feeling like something was lacking (and it wasn't cuddles). I felt like I had been robbed of the majority of my session. Usually it will take me a bit of working up to that orgasm, and then I'll hang there for a while before I force myself over the edge. I am on the tougher side to make orgasm, so not all toys are able to even get me there. This actually skipped over all that good feeling in between, and went from mildly-aroused to arching my back against an orgasm in under two minutes.
I still keep my Hitachi close by, but for me, it's not my go-to toy when I want a solid orgasm, it's my "I need to cum RIGHT NOW" toy. After a long sex session where I didn't finish? Hitachi. Have two minutes to get off and just can't stand it anymore? Hitachi. Cant sleep, fuck yourself stupid? Hitachi! But for the languid, slow, drawn out orgasm that just leaves your toes curling? I'd skip Hitachi. Hitachi is the guy you meet in a bar and fuck in the dirty bathroom stall in back without getting his name, not the guy you marry and fuck monogamously for the rest of your life.

Experience
I do not use this toy on HIGH, it frightens me. And I stay away from this toy unless I really want to get off, NOW. That said, when I do want to just get off, Hitachi makes it easy to do. If I directly rub this across my clitoris, it is too sensitive, and my body clenches up away from it before immediately going numb. However, if I lay it over my pubic bone area, the vibrations are so deep that they resonate through my body, and feel kind of amazing. Not enough to get off, but still amazing. If I put it against my vagina opening, the vibrations resonate upwards and thrum across my clitoris and feel amazing. A round or two of "avoid the clitoris", and I'm done. While they are intense orgasms, they're not the kind you remember, they're just the kind that help you sleep.
Follow-up commentary
21 days after original review
I think maybe, I didn't get the purpose of Hitachi at first. At least, its purpose in my life. For me, Hitachi isn't what gets me off. Hitachi just gets me in the mood to WANT to get off. If I'm not at all horny, but I want to be in the mood; all I really need is about a minute with this little fella', and I'm good to go. Hitachi has actually helped me to discover my g-spot -- not through direct use, but because I was always looking for my g-spot without being aroused. A minute or two with this, and then going g-spot hunting; and I tackled it with relative ease. It's definitely a very specific toy, and I still agree with what I said in my first review about the speed and power, but I have at least found a use for this that doesn't leave me feeling like I'm missing something after an orgasm.

Good alternative to Hitachi?
-
I had a rechargeable mini fairy wand, but last week it ended up breaking, and now I'm desperately looking for a similar type wand massager. I've looked at a couple, but I'd really like some input on which massager people are recommending. Thanks!
-
I have 3 wand massagers that I use at times. There are things I love and hate about all of them. The hitachi is the most powerful one, but it is so loud! The Wahl 2 speed is also great. It is the quietest and I love how rumbly the vibes are! But none of the attachments are quite right for me. If I could only have one wand I would get Inspire. It has a button that you press and release when the power is at your desired strength. In stead of just 2 speeds like the hitachi or the wahl you have control over how much power you want to use. The Inspire has a detachable silicone head. My complaints are that it gets hot after about 20 minutes, at at the higher speeds it gets pretty loud. Your toy was rechargable, but the wands I listed all plug in and have more power. Good luck with your replacement!

Yeah, the rechargeable wands tend to get really hot too, plus it would die after 20-30 minutes, so I needed to stay near an outlet at all times. Noise isn't really an issue for me (at least not right now). The one I had before had an adjustable wheel for vibration intensity, but to be honest, I always turned it all the way up and never changed it, so maybe I don't really need adjustable speeds.
I've never tried any of the detachable heads. Are they worth buying?

Will it be out of stock until the sale is over?
-
Ekk! It is out of stock again! I keep missing it. I finally have enough to buy it but I guess the discount made it sell like crazy. Does it typically not come back in until the sale is over?
Panicing a bit because I'm moving soon and will need to purchase it within the next week. -
You can open a support ticket from your account dashboard to ask about it. If they know when it'll be coming in they'll be happy to tell you.

Perfect! Thank you!

Are there any stronger vibrators out there?
-
Quote: Are there any stronger vibrators out there?Probably not for less than fifty dollars. A friend of mine is saving for the Sybian or The Rock Box. I can't speak from experience about either of those vibrators though. However, if you want something similar to the Hitachi, I would suggest either The Wahl or a Fairy Wand. I own the Hitachi, Wahl, and Fairy Mini but highly suggest the Wahl. It is the most rumbly of the three and is nearly silent.

Hitachi Wand Vs. Acyvube
-
Is the hitachi better than the acuvibe for anyone who has had the chance to try both? I'm under the impression that they are essentially the same thing but maybe I'm wrong...
-
I have had both, and they are really both very good toys. The main difference really is that the Acuvibe is rechargeable and can be used cordless, while the Hitachi must plug in to work. Personally, I think that the Hitachi is slightly stronger, and it has definitely outlasted my Acuvibes - I have had two, and they both broke down after about six months or so.

The shell is starting to crack but it still functions great, I just wanted to know if we should switch when I do want to buy a new one. More powerful sounds good :)

The Size !!!!!!!
-
Does the size get in the way ??????? It's so BIGGGGGG........
-
In the way of what, exactly? It's not really a toy for couples play and actually it's not even designed for masturbation but has become the Holy Grail of vibrators through decades of word of mouth.
-
Quote: Does the size get in the way ??????? It's so BIGGGGGG........It's really only meant for external use. So if you are talking about insertion it probably would be a bit big.

Is there a head set for universal attatchments anyone knows of?
-
There are a few. If you search the site you can find a couple.

Quote: Is there a head set for universal attatchments anyone knows of?I don't know if I understand the question, but the attachment we bought for our Hitachi is a "universal" attachment that we bought from another store. It's too "floppy" for me, but is a nice g-spot attachment, or would be if it was a little stiffer!

Bullet Vibes that rival the Hitachi Magic Wand
-
Hello, everyone!
Recently I've sold my Hitachi to a friend, and I've been on the market for a new clit vibe. I'm one of those girls who has a "clit-o-steel&quo t;, so I can't really get off unless I have something powerful on my clit. I bought a LAYAspot by FunFactory, thinking it would be a nice, powerful bullet to use when I'm with my partner, and I realized that it barely even packs a punch!
I guess I'm being a bit picky. I don't want something that's as strong as the Hitachi's HIGH setting, but something kind of inbetween the two, one that has a few nice, strong modes.
I was looking at the more expensive clit vibes- JeJoue's MiMi and Lelo's Siri. Do you think that they would be strong enough? Do you recommend anything? Thanks guys! -
Quote: Hello, everyone!U had the flexi anal rod prior to the Hitachi..It is strong as well, and it probably right between the hitachi hi and low... I actually prefer the two setting on Hitach..SHIT and OHH SHIT.. The flexi rod has about 4 if i'm not mistaken..Plus it is flexible as well.. Costs about 25.00

Hitachi
-
This is by far the best purchase I've made. My wife has a tough time reaching orgasm and needs the intense vibrations for her to climax. The Hitachi far exceeds this task, she doesn't use any other toy now, always reaches for the Hitachi. Just need to get her the G-spot attachment and she is set up. Thanks again.
-
I completely agree. The Magic Wand is the best vibrator ever.

Have you ever used a wand?
-
HI I was wondering if you have ever used anything like the Fairy Wand? I have used the baby fairy wand but its tiny... the size of the larger ones kind of intimidate me ... what are your thoughts on them and should I get one?
-
I dislike most of them intensely. They're too strong, too big and they make my whole vulva - as well as my hands - feel numb.
Many folks love them, though! -
I used the Wanachi Mini, which I really liked. Unfortunately it fell apart, it seems mine wasn't the only one either. I did contact Pipedream though and they seem eager to correct this problem!
