The Le Wand Grand has a gentle to moderate power range lacking intense levels. The lowest power starts at 2 out of 10 vibration strength, and the highest reaches 5 out of 10. With 4 power levels, the steps between settings are comfortably gradual. This is a nice option for those who prefer milder stimulation but will not satisfy those looking for intensity.

The top strength is enough for me to orgasm with, but it takes some time and effort. Bullets with strengths that reach at least a 6 out of 10 are better if you want an effortless experience. And at this price level, there are plenty of alternatives.

The We-Vibe Touch X is one of my favorite luxury options, and it has an even gentler starting setting while packing more power on high – reaching a 7.75 out of 10. This stimulation is broader than the Le Wand, though. 

Or if you’d like a stronger option with a mid-sized tip like the Le Wand Grand, try the Lovense Ambi. Both of these alternatives are less expensive with broader power ranges.

The Lovense Ambi has an outstanding power range. It begins gently, climbs through moderately powerful middle levels, and reaches an intense top setting.

The Ambi’s top strength of 8.0 out of 10 is plenty for me. It has comparable power to my favorite mid-sized vibrators like the Lelo Mona 2 or Lovense Hyphy. Often, I orgasm on one of the upper-middle levels, never reaching the top setting, as I enjoy moderate strength.

The Ambi’s lowest power setting is a 1.5 out of 10 vibration strength, which is very soft. The Lovense Ambi’s wide power range is great for anyone who needs milder settings while warming up to avoid overstimulation.

There is a quirk to be aware of: in order to access the Lovense Ambi’s full power range, you’ll need to use the Lovense app. Using the app, you can gradually adjust the power in tiny increments from its low power of 1.5 to its top strength of 8.0. This is great for anyone who finds large steps distracting.

However, just 3 preset power levels are accessible using the button on the Lovense Ambi’s base. But you can set the 3 levels to whatever strength you want. Just navigate to the “Adjust Levels” screen in the Lovense app and set each setting to your preferred intensity.

I love the default preset levels and haven’t changed mine out, but you can if you want to!

We rate rumbly bullets higher than buzzy ones since many people want rumbliness. But personal preferences vary, so consider what you enjoy.

The Le Wand Grand bullet has mediocre rumbliness. The lowest power is in the rumbly range, but I consider the middle two strengths “neutral.” And the top strength is moderately buzzy. If you prefer rumbly vibrations, the We-Vibe Tango X is a better (and cheaper) option for you.

My bullet preferences lean towards a neutral feel, and I like moderately buzzy vibrations when they’re only somewhat strong (like the Le Wand Grand’s top setting is!) So I enjoy the feeling of the Le Wand Grand – especially with that medium strength.

However, I still typically use the Lovense Ambi instead because it has a similar frequency range but gets stronger than the Le Wand Grand. And I enjoy some intensity personally.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer.

The Lovense Ambi has a pretty good amount of rumbliness. The first half of the power range feels rumbly. Then, the stronger half of the power levels feel neutral or moderately buzzy.

If you love rumbly vibrations, you’ll have some settings to enjoy on the low to mid-powered end, but nothing strong and rumbly. If you want comparable power with deeper vibrations, consider the We-Vibe Tango X.

But I actually love the feeling of neutral or somewhat buzzy vibrations in a bullet vibrator. When vibrations have enormous power, like large wand vibrators do, buzziness makes them feel overwhelming. That’s why I prefer rumbly wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable over buzzy ones like the Doxy Die Cast 3.

But the intensity of small bullet vibrators is moderate in comparison. Some buzziness in a bullet vibrator adds a kick at the surface that helps me orgasm more easily. As a result, the Lovense Ambi is one of my favorite bullet vibrators. It has plenty of settings toward the center of the spectrum, from moderately rumbly to moderately buzzy, that I really enjoy.

The Le Wand Grand Bullet comes with a broad, textured silicone attachment designed to stimulate your clit while using the bullet internally for vaginal stimulation.

It works as described, providing some dual-stimulation but not enough strength for me to orgasm. When using the attachment to transfer the vibrations to your clit, they feel much weaker than when directly pressing the motor end of the bullet to your clit. Using the attachment for dual-stimulation can be a fun warm-up activity, but I expect only those who are extra-sensitive will be able to orgasm this way.

As for the internal stimulation, it primarily provides vibrations around the vaginal entrance. The straight shape doesn’t easily target your G-spot as a curved bullet does (like the Pillow Talk Racy).

The Le Wand Grand provides a medium amount of precision from its wide head and rounded tip. You can limit stimulation to a reasonably small area, but it’s less focused than thinner or lipstick-shaped bullet vibrators like the We-Vibe Tango X.

This medium amount of precision is awesome if you enjoy firm pressure. It can comfortably press against your body while distributing the pressure more evenly.

The Lovense Ambi is generally slightly broader than most bullet vibrators but still more precise than other vibrators. And its unique shape lets you vary the precision of the stimulation.

The Lovense Ambi’s rounded head is 1.04 inches wide, whereas the famous We-Vibe Tango X is just 0.69 inches wide – much more precise. The Ambi’s slight extra width is great for those who enjoy applying firm pressure because you can hone in on a fairly small area while still spreading the pressure out more comfortably than a narrow bullet vibrator.

The rounded head also has a subtle lip that you can use to make the stimulation more precise. You can use the tip on the back of the toy for very focused stimulation. However, I’ve found that using the back tip positions the Ambi at a more awkward angle. The motor is also closer to the rounded end, so I use that side. If you want even broader stimulation, you can press the long, flat end against your whole vulva, too.

Do what works for you – the unique shape provides much more variation in how you can use the Ambi than most bullet vibrators.

The Lovense Ambi’s app has incredible features for close-range play. I’ve tried many remote and app-controlled vibrators, and Lovense has the best app – it’s the most feature-rich, is the easiest to use, and has the best connectivity (discussed here).

The Lovense app gives you detailed control of the Ambi’s vibrations. Using the “Remote” feature, you can set the Ambi’s power to your precise, preferred strength. Simply raise or lower the on-screen dot to incrementally adjustment the vibration strength.

Press the “Float” button to hold the power at that intensity. Or click “Loop” to easily create a repeating pattern in the moment. You can also create a pattern you enjoy and save it to use again later. We’ve found pattern creation in other apps like We-Vibe to be much clunkier than Lovense’s simple, intuitive implementation.

You can also connect multiple Lovense toys simultaneously and control each toy within the app. The Lovense screen will provide a separate control dot for each connected toy. So if you have a wearable G-spot vibrator like the Lovense Lush 3 or Lovense Vulse, you can control it while using the Ambi on your clit.

You can browse through unlimited patterns that other Lovense users have created and shared in the “Discover” section and save them to your own frequently used library under “My Patterns.” Adjust the speed of each pattern to make it just right for you!

You can also use the Music and Sound features to control the Ambi’s vibrations using music saved on your phone or sound picked up by your phone’s mic. You used to be able to control the Ambi using Spotify, but Spotify discontinued support for third-party apps in 2022.

You can also adjust how sensitive the Ambi is to the music or sound so that the noise must be louder for the Ambi to vibrate.

You can also set an alarm so your Ambi vibrates at a certain time. However, this feature is more useful for Lovense’s wearable vibrators like the Lovense Lush 3 or Lovense Ferri. It’s unlikely you’ll wake up holding the Lovense Ambi in just the right spot!

The Lovense app’s long-distance features (and connectivity discussed below) are also the best of any long-distance vibrator.

Using the Lovense app, a long-distance partner can control your Ambi from anywhere in the world. They’ll use the same “Remote” screen that you have when controlling the Ambi nearby using Bluetooth. The functionality is not reduced for long-distance play like it is with Satisfyer’s app (which is used to control the Satisfyer Ultra Power Bullet 8).

Your long-distance partner can set the exact vibration strength they want using the “Float” feature, and they can quickly and easily create a pattern for you to enjoy using the “Loop” function. They can also send you predesigned patterns they’ve created or other Lovense users have shared.

You can video chat or message with your long-distance partner within the Lovense app while they control your Ambi. You don’t need to use a separate messaging or video chat app. You can minimize the control panel to see your partner more clearly in the video feed.

Or, if you feel more comfortable without video, you can turn off your video feed and mic at any time. Or simply share control of your toy without a voice or video call.

You can also share control of the Lovense Ambi’s vibrations without allowing video or sound in the first place. This feature is especially useful for those who want to give control to an anonymous long-distance partner. You can generate a one-time control link for a set amount of time and anonymously send it.

Once time is up, that person cannot request control of your Lovense Ambi again unless you send them another link.

For a partner you’ll play with repeatedly, simply save their username to your saved partners list. You can also save multiple partners. If your partner also has a Lovense toy, you can simultaneously control each other’s toy.

Lovense also offers several partner settings unique to its app. For instance, you can allow a particular partner to control your Ambi without requiring them to request permission first, which helps you connect more quickly.

The Lovense app easily provides the most intuitive and feature-rich long-distance experience!

The Lovense Ambi’s connectivity with the app is extremely reliable. Lovense has the best connectivity – during both nearby Bluetooth control and long-distance control.

Connecting the Ambi to the Lovense app is quick and easy. The first time you connect, you’ll need to add the Lovense Ambi to your list of toys, which takes less than 20 seconds. Once you’ve added the Ambi, it typically connects immediately and automatically when you open the Lovense app.

Once connected, it rarely disconnects. I regularly play without any disconnections, even if I lock my screen or use other apps for extended periods.

If it loses connection, the Lovense Ambi usually re-pairs automatically, so it’s not very disruptive. Lovense is the best app-controlled brand for a smooth experience.

It also holds its close-range Bluetooth connection from a good distance (155 feet in our test). My partner and I tested the Bluetooth distance in the alley behind our house. I had my partner connect his phone to the Ambi and walk down the alley, continually changing my Ambi’s vibrations as he walked away. When the connection dropped we measured the distance (155 feet).

The Lovense Ambi also remains reliably connected during long-distance play as long as you and your partner have good Wi-Fi or a strong cell signal. Lovense’s long-distance features are not glitchy like We-Vibe’s often are.

This is how the long-distance connection works: the partner with the Ambi connects the vibrator to their phone using the typical Bluetooth connection – the same way you connect for nearby play. Since the Lovense Ambi’s Blutooth connection is excellent, this part of the long-distance connection is excellent too.

Then, your long-distance partner’s phone communicates with your phone over Wi-Fi or cell data to control the Ambi from afar—just like you and I are communicating long-distance over the internet right now. So, as long as you both have good Wi-Fi or cell signal, the connection is great.

For reference, my partner and I rarely, if ever, have an issue connecting long-distance in Lovense’s app. You don’t need outstanding internet – good is good enough!

Except for its one-button control system, the Le Wand Grand is very comfortable and easy to use.

The awesome weight of this toy from its metal construction is unlike any of my other bullets. It feels luxurious and naturally adds pressure without tiring out my hand. This is one of its biggest assets, and none of my other bullets even come close to the weight of this one.

Vibrations in my hands are minimal and won’t distract the average user. I find that the bumps on the silicone surface don’t add anything to the experience, but they also don’t detract. The silicone tip can also be removed if you prefer.

The only downside is its one-button control system. There’s one button on the base of the bullet. And you need to cycle through the 4 intensity levels and 11 patterns – you cannot move backward without cycling through the remaining settings. Many bullets use a one-button system, but for a bullet at this high price point, I was expecting the ability to conveniently toggle up or back down to reach my preferred setting quickly.

If this bothers you, the We-Vibe Tango X and We-Vibe Touch X have separate buttons to increase or decrease strength. And a third button to separately tap through patterns.

The Lovense Ambi is a very comfortable and easy-to-use bullet vibrator.

When I use vibrators, I press them firmly into my body. Because the Lovense Ambi has an angled head, leveraging it and applying pressure is much easier than it is with most bullet vibrators. This unique shape can be a little more awkward to hold than a straight bullet, but it helps leverage the Ambi to maintain good clitoral contact without taking up much space. And it’s still comfortable – it just takes some getting used to.

Like most bullet vibrators, the motor is close to your hand because the toy is so small. So some vibrations travel into your hand, but the silicone handle helps dampen them. They’re minimal, so I don’t find them distracting.

You can control the Lovense Ambi using the button on the base of the handle or through the Lovense app. The physical controls are just okay. It’s a single button, so you have to cycle through the 3 programmed intensity levels (which you can set in the app) and the 4 vibration patterns.

I don’t find it annoying since there are not too many settings. But if you frequently change power levels or patterns, you’ll want to control the Ambi using the app. You can access the Lovense Ambi’s full power range in the app and quickly move between settings and patterns.

The Le Wand Grand is a great size fit between bodies, leverage, and maneuver during sex. It doesn’t get in the way, and the weight helps to add a pleasant natural pressure.

The weight takes a little extra effort to hold upward in positions where you’re working against gravity, like the spooning position. But that’s only when you compare it to the ease of use in missionary or other positions where the weight is a huge asset. The average user will not grow tired of holding this toy during sex.

The Lovense Ambi is excellent during sex.

The angled head helps the Ambi slip easily between your legs without the base of the handle sticking out too far. This way, your hand doesn’t interfere with your partner’s body. You’re more limited when trying to angle and leverage a straight bullet vibrator during sex.

The rounded head distributes the pressure very comfortably. And its moderate width makes it easier to keep it in contact with my clit during sex than narrow bullet vibrators. The only reason I didn’t rate the Ambi a perfect 10.0 is that the handle is shorter than some. So, it can become tiring to hold after a while if you’re pressing hard.

But overall, it’s one of my favorites to use during sex.

The Le Wand Grand is one of my quietest bullet vibrators! It’s completely inaudible from behind a closed door, so you can play discreetly without worry of being overheard.

And besides that, the decibel level is very low. So even if you’re easily annoyed by buzzing sounds, this one is hardly noticeable.

The Lovense Ambi is very quiet. I can use every power setting, and my partner cannot hear it from the other side of the bedroom door. It’s definitely discreet enough if you share a wall with a housemate.

The buzzing sound itself is also mild and not distracting if you’re easily taken out of the mood by sound.

The Le Wand Grand Bullet’s battery life is passable. It’s rechargeable and lasts about 75 minutes, constantly running on high power.

If battery life is an aspect you prioritize, there are longer-lasting options. For instance, the We-Vibe Tango X lasts for 105 minutes on high, and since it’s stronger than the Le Wand Grand bullet, you can use its middle power levels and extend the battery even longer.

The Lovense Ambi is rechargeable and has an acceptable battery life. I charge all my vibrators fully, then run them on their highest setting until they die. The Lovense Ambi lasted 55 minutes.

This is below the average bullet vibrator’s battery life. But since I typically don’t go up to the top strength, I can make the Lovense Ambi last longer. 55 minutes is still plenty for most people, but you’ll want to charge it between uses.

I’d recommend the We-Vibe Tango X if you want something about this strong that lasts longer.

The Le Wand Grand’s build quality is exceptional. Because of its solid metal construction, it’s the heaviest of my bullets (but not tiring to hold). The weight provides a luxurious feel while also reassuring that it’s well-built and solid. The head has a silky silicone cap, and the button press has a nice feel. The luxury design, materials, and aesthetic are a big reason to consider this bullet.

The Lovense Ambi has fantastic build quality. There are no seams, and it’s completely covered in smooth, body-safe silicone. It’s not flimsy, and the button is easy to press and feels high-quality.

The Le Wand Grand is very easy to clean. It’s 100% waterproof, so you can completely submerge it while you clean! You don’t need to avoid water getting into specific areas. You can also take it in the bath with you.

The Lovense Ambi is very easy to clean because it’s completely IPX7 waterproof. You can fully submerge this while scrubbing with soap and water.
