Evaluation Summary

The Lelo Smart Wand Large takes a modern approach to wands with its sleek design, cordless nature and the addition of Lelo’s own SenseTouch technology. Vibrations are deep and rumbly, penetrating tissue deep and working very well as a body massager. The SenseTouch technology allows users to increase intensity as they press harder against their body. This addition doesn’t fully pay off and often seems counterintuitive as the harder you press the more muted the vibrations become. Unfortunately, this wand over promises and underdelivers, which wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for the hefty price tag.

Lelo Smart Wand Large has been discontinued and replaced with Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large.

14 Reasons to Buy

  • Its vibrations were praised as deep and rumbly, especially on the low to mid speeds. One lauded, “They really do travel deep into your flesh and it feels absolutely amazing in use.”

  • There are a broad range of settings: 8 speed levels and 8 patterns.

  • Reviewers commonly admired its luxuriously soft and smooth texture.

  • Not uncommonly, owners discovered that it serves well as a body massager too. One narrated, "The SenseTouch technology really excels on your back, giving you a rich variety of light massage and deep-tissue massage."

  • For versatile use, it is compatible with Hitachi attachments. A noteworthy combination, as one expert revealed, is the Gee Whiz, which transforms the Smart Wand Large into a powerful G-spot vibrator.

  • Reviewers liked how it is exceptionally quiet, perceived to be quieter than the Magic Wand and inaudible through walls.

  • Users appreciated its ergonomic handle, which they say is longer and easier to use compared to other wands.

  • It is built with medical-grade, body-safe and hypoallergenic materials.

  • It is 100% waterproof and usable in the shower or bath.

  • It is easy to clean with no indents where fluid or dirt can accumulate.

  • Being cordless eliminates the need to be near a wall outlet.

  • A reviewer commended its battery life, which lasts up to 2 hours on a full charge.

  • Buyers liked its modern looks. It is available in several color options and comes with a storage pouch.

  • It features travel-lock functionality.

8 Reasons Not to Buy

  • While the Smart Wand Large’s vibration was commonly praised for its power, a considerable percentage felt it was underpowered, incomparable to the Hitachi Magic Wand.

  • Frequently, owners lamented that applying pressure against its head causes the vibrations to diminish.

  • The SenseTouch™ technology, designed to vibrate according to pressure applied, received criticisms for being finicky and unreliable.

  • Its broad head did not appeal to everyone; some found the sensations too dispersed and preferred more focused and concentrated vibrations.

  • Users have to cycle through all modes and patterns to reach the desired one, which some felt was inconvenient.

  • There were reports of product failures within a few months.

  • Weighing 13.9 oz, the equivalent of about 2 iPhone 8 Plus, some consiered it to be unwieldy and bulky.

  • A few purchasers regretted that costing twice that of the Magic Wand, it does not offer value for its price.
