I'm saving my points and gift cards and crossing my fingers and toes for a really good sale on Black Friday or Cyber Monday so I can get one (or more) rechargeable vibrators.
Currently my favorites (non-rechargeables) are the Roulette Croupier and French Kiss by Evolved Novelties and Rock Star Stevie (and Tina) by Doc Johnson. I tend to enjoy girthier products (1 5/8" - 1 3/4") but if a product has good vibrations, I can enjoy it in a smaller size (aka Stevie).
I prefer G-spot vibrators too as you will be able to tell from my list.

I'm looking for strong, deep rumbly vibrations but also any other comments you have to offer.

What would you recommend?

I like strong and rumbly sensations but I'm also curious about how long the charge lasts, how long you've used one, how much you use it (aka once a week or once a month or every day), etc.

I really like my Rondo, but it has a few flaws. The first is that it is only splashproof, which may not make a difference to you since you have some Lelo's up there. Again, it is PRETTY girthy, especially with the drag. Mine also has a motor that sometimes gets in rattley moods. This can be a problem for me using it in the communal showers, but you may not care!

The reason that I LOVE it and can ignore the flaws is the dual motor feature. It feels SO realistic, even though it really isn't. It feels all thick and it throbs like a hearbeat and... Yum! I use it several times a week and my favorite thing to do is insert the tip and then bring the other part up to my clitoris!
Here's my review! link

I found the Gigi to be a bit short and rarely use it. I passed on purchasing the Vr9 after holding it in person and finding it to be of only medium strength. Have held a Tiger and it's high on my list to get because it's very strong. That's my only experience with the ones listed!

Both the Gigi and Liv are very comparable in size and would probably be considered too short/thin for people looking for something larger, or filling on the level of say, a reasonably big penis. To me, their size is comparable to mayyyybe two-fingers. Additionally, their vibrations are moderate in terms of strength. I can get off anywhere from the 3rd to 5th setting. Some people report not being able to get off on the 5th (highest) setting at all.
That said, people adore the Gigi for gspot, at least as long as their gspot is shallow enough for the Gigi to reach. I think the girth of their shafts are only sliiiiightly bigger than an inch.
The Elise has pretty much the exact same shape as the Liv, except significantly larger and with dual motors.
The battery life on my Liv lasts a pretty long time. More recently, cause I havent seen my guy in a while, I've been using it maybe every other day. I've only had to charge it once since I've had it though, and it only requires around 2 hours to charge.
I haven't been able to lay my hands on a form 6, but from what I understand from pictures, it's very similar in size to the Liv or Gigi, except insertable on both ends and significantly thicker/girthier. It's also waterproof, which brings me to my last point.
if I were you, I'd probably narrow down what you were looking for a little more. Length-wise, width-wise, how many settings, waterproof or non waterproof, gentle curve, bulbous tip etc.

I don't have the most experience with rechargeable vibes---I've only had two (the Ina (my review) and SaSi (my review), and I wouldn't recommend either of them. But, you don't have either of them on your list---so congratulations so far!
The only rechargeable vibes that have caught my eye at all are the G4 Calla, and the Vr8 and Vr9. Right now, I'm personally leaning most toward the Vr8 because of how much Staindclear loves hers (and Stainedclear and I have really similar bodies). But it's a little below your preferred girth, so you might lean toward the Vr9. (For some reason, the product page for that only lists the girth of the small end, but the big end is also insertable.) (Plus, I'm selfish, and I totally want to read your review of the Vr9 !)
I've really been loving nice dildos lately, but the 8th biggish ticket item (>$50) that I have planned is either the Vr8 or the Vr9. So the more reviews of them that are up before I've got my Peridise set, and Linger, and Alumina Flow, and a few others, the happier I'll be.

I'd go with Gigi. I've had her for a year and she's still in heavy rotation with Soraya. Lelo makes damn good products.
11/15/2011
I LOVE my Lelo Liv. I rave about her constantly. If you like thicker toys, my understanding is that Elise is very similar but thicker and dual motors. I'm a huge Lelo fan.

Oh! And I got at least 10 long play sessions out of my Liv on one charge, and a couple were over an hour at a stretch and finally I turned her on high and let her sit there and buzz away under a pillow on my bed until she died just to see how long the battery lasted. It was over an hour longer before she finally died. Once her red light started blinking that she was low it was at least 15 minutes before she kicked out completely. This was over the course of about a month of what I would term frequent but scattered usage, with sometimes not using her for 4-5 days, sometimes using her daily or more than once in a day.

Elegance, normally I would go for the Gigi, but it's really really small. Get the Elegance

I don't have any of the toys you mentioned, but I have the LELO Ina and she holds a charge for quite a while. I'd imagine all of their toys are comparable.

Of your list, I have Elise and Minna Ola. I don't have the Form 6, but I do have the Form 2, and both have -similar- digital motors.
Elise is the strongest Lelo toy I have found and is very rumbly. It was my first vibe and I still love it.
Minna Ola is not the strongest vibe around, but the vibrations are deep and quiet.
The Form toys can be a bit buzzy, but the vibrations are divine!

We only have one of these the Elsie - and I'm willing to give you a good deal for it. Not strong enough for my wife. We finally got the Mimi and it's pretty awesome. It obviously does not bring penetration into the equation - but if you have favorite penetration toy in place - the Mimi should do the job for your clit!
11/14/2011
elise doesn't have the rumbly vibes.
11/14/2011
I have the Mona, and it's divine. I also think the Vanities 8 or 9 would be good, though, because the vibrations kick ass and you get 2 different ends to play with. I have Vr6 and it's great. I've seen both the 8&9 in person and can vouch for the slimmer ends having buzzier vibes, but the bigger ends have some of the most delicious rumbly vibrations I've come across.

I hope to have close to $300 in gift cards and points by then. I'm thinking I may spend the majority of them on ME (well - us).

The Gigi and Liv are weaker on vibrations and smaller in size. That being said, I am quite fond of my Gigi.
The Vr8 is probably my favorite insertable toy ever. It's strong and has a thicker and thinner end so you can pick what you're in the mood for. It's still not as thick as what your ideal is, however. My Vr2 is on the way and Vr9 is next on my Jopen list, so I can't comment on those yet.
The Mona has an upward curve which creates a type of pressure. Some people love this and some not so much. I have the Vr3 which has a similar curve to it and sometimes I love it and sometimes it's painful. So something to consider with Mona.
The Minna Ola is pretty awesome feature wise. It's also smaller than your desired size. It's stronger than Gigi/Liv but not as strong as the Jopen line. I like this one for the cool factor and ability to customize it. I wouldn't pick it over my Jopen's, but if you have some money left over I'd pick it up.
I have the glitchy Form 2, not 6. I recently played with the 4 and 6 in person and was more impressed with the 4. I originally wanted the 6 first but think I'll be getting the 4 instead. It seemed stronger. Could have been a charge issue at the store so maybe take that with a grain of salt. The 6 is closer to your size range and still a nice power level.
I don't have the G4 line, but do think it would work well for you based on your preferences.
So that probably wasn't helpful because I recommended everything. X.x Jeez.
Also chiming in that you should get a Mimi.

I have the Extase Elegance. I would recommend going with something else. It's a good toy, but nothing special. I've heard much better about the others. The Elegance just sits for us.
11/14/2011
Well - other than the Jopen which I know I want anyway (just haven't decided which one) - I'm down to four of the others that I'm really torn between.
I think the G4 Tiger is the top one for me. I'm not sure how much of that is because I love the navy color and how much is the design/use. I think its because I like the ridges, the 1 1/2" diameter, and the handle.
My second choice is probably the Rondo - once again - I like the handle on it. I like the idea of rumbly vibrations and I find that vibrators with handles are something that I can use by myself without a lot of hardship. My husband works in a job where he may have to travel (rarely - but for up to a month at a time) - so he's trying to get me to the point where I can take care of myself without him (TMI - right?). The toys w/ handles are easier for me to use. I need to reread though - isn't this the one where sometimes it feels like there is a motor loose? Then again - I don't live in a dorm so noise isn't a big issue here. Our bedroom is in our own wing of the house sorta.
Mona and Gigi are tied for 3rd/4th place. I like the look /design /shape of the Gigi but prefer more girth. Still yet, I can take a less girthy toy if the vibrations are good. Mona has decent girth (not the best) but I'm not as fond of the design.
And the Jopens...I think I want one of each of them...someday!
I still like the Form 6 though...just...that's a lot of money and not sure it is worth THAT much.
If there isn't a good sale on these for Black Friday/Cyber Monday - then I will buy out two or three of them for reviews after the 26th (when I'm eligible again). I should have close to $300 or more by then if I don't spend it...in cards, etc. - so that should be able to buy me at least 3 toys on buyout.
