Another Hitachi review
The Hitachi is a classic and gets the job done. Though rather obnoxious in looks and sound, both can easily be looked passed because of its power. The perfect toy for the lazy day, just grab and plug it in and you are one step away from a fast easy orgasm.Published: January 21, 2012
Pros:
Powerful, simple, down to the point
Cons:
Loud, ugly
I got the Hitachi when Eden had the super low sale and basically paid me to take it off their hands. I was really eager and nervous because I had always heard how it was the be all, end all and how nothing compares. The day it came in I plugged it into the wall and it was just too powerful. I always thought I didn’t have too much sensitivity but this was just way too much. Eventually I got used to it, and use it now whenever I need to grab something without thought, something that will be quick and effortless. And that’s what it is, the perfect vibrator for when you are lazy or for when you just don’t care and want to orgasm quick and dirty, done.
The Hitachi is a whole lot of plastic, probably more than needed to be honest. This beast comes in at 12” in length with a cord of about 6 feet trailing at the end to plug into the wall. Sometimes the plastic makes cracking noises when I push against the bulbed end too hard, this worries me. But I haven’t heard of too many Hitachi accidents or breakages so I haven’t traded it in yet. It’s not the most attractive vibrator or “personal massager” out there but I don’t think you will spend most of your time gazing over it; your head will be too busy tossed back in bliss to notice. It might be heavier than your other toys, and at first you might need to figure out what angle holding it at doesn’t hurt you arm. You might fight with the cord till you find the closest power outlet near the bed, but you will figure out all the logistics quick enough.
This is as basic as it gets, there are two settings; high and low period. Low is pretty high and high is really high. I’m not usually a big fan of fluctuation in patterns or pulsations or all that glitz and glam, so I enjoy these limited but providing options. The Hitachi is loud, no let me correct myself, the Hitachi makes loud sound like lullabies. I hope my neighbors believe I really like using power tools because there is no doubt in my mind they can hear the steady rumbly vibrations of Hitachi through the carpeted floor to the apartment below mine.
Seeing as how it is plugged into the wall, common sense is going to tell you this is not waterproof. Considering this toy really isn’t made for insertion due to said large bulbed end it actually isn’t that hard to clean. I just take a toy wipe and give it a good rub and done. A lot of people have noted theirs have changed a yellowy color over time, I am not quite there yet but we shall see. To store it, I just wrap the cord around it and throw it in my toy box.
You can buy accessories for you Hitachi kind of like you would buy things for your pet dog. Since the bulbed end has a rough but simple texture some people like buying silicone end caps with a different variety in texture. The attachments are easy to use, so I’ve read---you just pop them on the bulb and presto time to use. I think they are pretty expensive so I haven’t tried one out yet, most are in the 30 to 40 dollar price range.

Experience
Though marketed as a massager I really haven’t tried using it for anything nonsexual I must admit. I kind of think it might be too rough and hardy of a vibration for my back, which sounds kind of dumb since I put it on a much more sensitive part of my body. I just can’t wrap my head around it funny enough. I do love my Hitachi but I also wish the lovely folks who made it would reinvent the wheel already and give us a smaller just as powerful version.

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.

Universal

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!

Thank you for viewing Hitachi magic wand vibrator – massager review page!



Who you calling ugly? It is great as a massager, and certainly a good tool to have in your arsenal, but I agree with what you're saying here. Thanks for the great review.
great review thanks!
thanks!
Thanks for the review! I agree that this is crazy loud, I try to wait until nobody is home to use it.
thanks for the review. I really want one of these but there are so many other items i want to buy first...it is hard to pick lol
Maybe they will go on sale again Subbi. I dont think it would have been on the top of my list other wise.
I can't wait to get this toy, thanks for the pictures!
Thanks for the review. I own one with one of the attachments and its awesome with it.
Thank you!
thanks!
