Sleek design, powerful yet quiet vibrations, great results

First impressions after opening the box are that this is a quality product! It comes in a fancy black case, with the vibrator tied in place with soft black velvet string. It feels quite heavy, and a lot of thought has obviously gone into the design. Also in the box is a small charging cable.

It's entirely silicone finished, with just two small silver buttons near the base which also serve as the charging point, which are smooth and almost unnoticeable. This means that it's completely smooth all over, with no buttons or knobs sticking out, no wires hanging off, no clip to remove a battery, or anything like that - just smooth silicone all over. It feels solid and weighty, and is definitely a well-built product. I'm certain this one will last for a very long time. It's of a decent size, which combined with the bulbous shape makes it good for penetration, while the powerful motor is great for clit stimulation.

Turning it on sets the motor purring very gently, and on its lowest setting it really is almost silent, even in the dead of night when you could hear a pin drop. Continue pressing the '+' button and it gets faster and faster, and every time you think it can't possibly go any faster, it does! The motor does obviously get louder as you turn the speed up, but even on the highest setting it remains one of the quietest vibrators I've ever heard. Definitely a plus if you live in shared accommodation!

Press the '+' once more and it starts to go into the various vibration patterns, of which there are about 10, offering various throbs and the like. To go back to steady vibrations you just press the '-' button to step back through the patterns until it returns to the highest steady vibration speed.

The '+' and '-' buttons also double as the charging point, the included charging cable has an fitting on one end which attaches magnetically to the two buttons, whilst on the other end is a USB plug, so it will charge off of anything with a USB socket. While that versatility is nice, the cable is unique to this vibrator, so if it were to be damaged or lost, you would need to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

When the vibe gets low on battery, attempting to start it results in the motor giving a little protest "rev" instead of going into the gentle slow speed setting. On the one hand this means that you do definitely need to charge it, unlike many other vibrators which would allow you to run on weak batteries (obviously with weak results), so some people may consider this to be a downside. On the other hand, this does mean that it doesn't allow the battery to get so weak as to prevent it from functioning, which means it's not going to "die" on you while you're using it, and leave you frustrated!

The only real problem we had with this was that the manual, being all of about 30 words, was translated quite poorly into English, and doesn't explain at all how to turn it off. In fact what you need to do is repeatedly press the '-' button to turn it down to the lowest setting (simply holding the button doesn't work - you need to press it over and over), THEN when it's on the lowest setting, hold the button for approximately 3 seconds and it turns off. This isn't at all obvious, and resulted in a few rather hilarious "oh my god I can't turn it off" moments!

Aside from that, it's a brilliant vibrator - it's getting continual use, and I really couldn't recommend it highly enough.
