I got one of these for my wife, who is a Hitachi magic wand fan (and thus just doesn't see the point in weaker vibes). At first, I thought we had a big hit--she really enjoyed it for solo play but found it too distracting to try and use with me (for example, while giving oral--it's a bit big to try and use during intercourse!). And eventually with it living in the closet it now pretty much gathers dust, more's the pity.
However, she really does enjoy it when she uses it. The only real complaint is that the controls and different vibration settings are a bit fussy and if there's a particular setting that's a favorite, you have to scroll through them all--not to mention that by its nature the controls probably aren't as accessible as you'd like! A remote with assignable presets would make it a much more fun toy.
I've given it a whirl or two, but it doesn't do much for the male side of things imho. Mileage may vary.
Short form? It's a good toy, but a bit spendy. If you think it's the sort of thing you'd like, you're probably right, and it's well designed and constructed, and does have a fair amount of power. I just can't give it a 100% "OH WOW" review because we're not getting much use out of it these days.
I do have to laugh at the icons for "suggested uses" (you can see them in the F&E review) in which one suggestion evidently had a woman using it against the wall while while bent over... reading a magazine. I thought that was a tad blase... but then, I suppose there's no telling what the magazine was.

Ha ha ha!!! Even the guy sitting on it is reading a magazine. What the hell? Possibly they are reading the instruction manual??

Hi. I'm a lurker, and this is my first post. I really enjoy reading about all of you, but feel like something of a fraud, as I'm a widow.
I bought a cone and was really disappointed. I'm also an Hitachi Magic Wand user, and love it. Eddy explained on the phone to me that once you get used to the Wand you are pretty much spoiled for anything else! She suggested I put the Wand away for about a month so I could enjoy the lesser vibrations on the Cone and the Erosilator. I did enjoy the Erosilator but never did get the Cone back out of the drawer. As you said, a bit 'spendy' for something I will probably never try again! The Wand is still my fave.
Welcome Kitten! Don't think of yourself as a fraud. Everyone is welcome here, so keep on posting! Besides, you got to answer a question that hardly anyone else has been able to answer so far. For your info, I like the worm vibrator.

we didnt buy a cone. but saw one. my take was that the vibrations were not incredibly powerful. and the shape although seeming good design is actually its worst deficit. . its limiting id think. great idea with improper execution.
cheers N.

Oh, I hope it's not terribly disappointing. I've been very slow to use the thing. This weekend I had my DH help get the batteries in but we didn't bother to use it yet, just did other things.
I like the Hitachi Magic Wand but it's been years since I've used one. I think the biggest disadvantage for me is that it's corded and more of a hassle.
DH is more of a sensualist and not as into the toys as I am, so I'm hesitant to buy anything more, except I'm interested in a dildo and cock ring, which I think may be nice.
I may not be as much of a vibe person as I thought.... I hate the rabbit I bought, I felt it was putting my privates in a blender, too much. Anyway, I'll let you know once we actually get to using it.
