Let me start by saying that no, this is not the most powerful pocket rocket out there. However, I found it was more the sufficient to get the job done. I used it for solo play because it was a discreet toy. It's quiet enough to use in a shared home. I found the best way to use it was while being stimulated by something else such as porn.

I purchased this toy because it promised to be quiet and I was living with a roommate. It delivered on that promise. I never worried that the girl in the bedroom next to mine could hear what was going on in my bed (we had thin walls!).

I found it a little difficult to hold onto, especially once you introduce lube (water based!) into playtime, or if you get sweaty while really getting into a session.

Cleaning is easy: just wipe it down, no extra parts to worry about cleaning.

Rotating the base to turn it on and off can be problematic, since you have to rotate it to open and insert a battery. However I only occasionally had a problem with it coming open while turning it off; it wasn't a common occurrence.

I found one battery lasted quite a while even with nightly use. I also never had a problem with this vibrator other than having to replace the battery. Other than that, when I switched it on, the vibrations began!

Unless you really feel you need a powerful toy, this a great buy for the money and discreet factors (quiet and small). This was not my first vibrator purchase, but I still found it powerful enough. It's also a perfect buy for those looking for their first pocket rocket. Lastly, it's small enough and quiet enough to introduce into your sex life without your partner feeling intimidated.
