Evaluation Summary

The Magic Wand Original is essentially the origin of all modern vibrators and somehow still holds strong as one of the best wands on the market. The biggest drawback is its necessity to be plugged in during use, which runs counter to most modern wireless devices. Although this may tether you to a power outlet, the incredible unbeatable power it produces as a result is more than worth the sacrifice. Deep, rumbly and endlessly pleasing vibrations are where this device shines, bringing almost guaranteed pleasure to all users across its multiple decades on the market. It’s rare that we can say a device is guaranteed to satisfy but when it comes to the Hitachi Magic Wand, it’s hard to imagine any other result.

Rating

Magic Wand Original has a PleasureScore™ of 91/100, placing it #19 on the PleasureScore™ 2022 Vibrator Ranking Chart.

7 Reasons to Buy

  • It can be used to vibrate a dildo; just place it at the base of the dildo.

13 Reasons Not to Buy

  • There are crevices in the toy which require more effort to clean.
