Nu Sensuelle Point vs Satisfyer Ultra Power Bullet 5 Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The Nu Sensuelle Point is a good, reasonably priced bullet vibrator. However, several cheaper bullet vibrators are just as good or better. For instance, the Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini is nearly identical at a much lower price.
The Nu Sensuelle Point has excellent vibration power, although it is a bit buzzy, which some people will not enjoy. Unfortunately, there are no gentle settings, so if you need a mild warmup, you’ll have to use another vibrator first.
It also has too many settings for its one-button control system. If you want to lower the power, you’ll need to cycle through all 10 power levels and 10 vibration patterns which takes forever. For most people, there are better bullet vibrators at more affordable prices – compare options here.
The Satisfyer Ultra Power Bullet 5’s power ranges from gentle to mid-strength, with a primarily buzzy feeling. Its affordable price makes it a reasonable contender for those overstimulated by high intensity and who prefer buzzy vibrations over rumbly ones. If you prefer more power, then the Blush Limited Addiction is a better option at the same price point – its strength ranges from medium to extreme with a similarly buzzy feel.
Or if you want more power and rumbliness, the Pillow Talk Racy is an excellent option if you can bump your budget up slightly.
The Satisfyer 5 has reasonable performance in other areas for its price. It’s very quiet, waterproof, and has almost 2 hours of battery life. I find its unique oval shape a little awkward but still comfortable during solo use. I have some trouble keeping consistent clitoral contact during sex, though. Overall, I recommend this bullet if you’re on a budget and prefer mild to mid-strength, buzzy vibrations.

Vibrations: Power And Range
The Nu Sensuelle Point has excellent intensity but a very limited power range. It has 10 intensity levels, starting at a 6 out of 10 vibration strength and reaching 8.75 out of 10 on high.
Although having 10 intensity levels sounds like a lot, they’re all very close together. So, they don’t actually provide much variety. And with only a single button to cycle through settings, having 10 levels is more of a chore than a benefit. I prefer the nearly identical Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini, which spans the same power range with just 3 convenient settings.
Another significant factor to consider here is that there are no gentle settings, which some people need while warming up.
I often start at a gentler strength – around a 5 out of 10 or lower. Then, as I’m ready for more power, I can gradually work my way up. You won’t find this with the Nu Sensuelle Point, so it’s best for those who aren’t worried about overstimulation and prefer to start strong.
For a cheaper option with a slightly broader power range, the Blush Limited Addiction starts at a 5 out of 10 and reaches an extremely high strength of 10 out of 10!
For an even wider range, the Lovense Ambi ranges from 1.5 out of 10 on low to 8 out of 10 on high, so it has plenty of mild levels to enjoy while warming up.
The Satisfyer Ultra Bullet 5 is the best budget-friendly option if you only need low to medium power. There are 5 total power levels, with the first starting at 1.25 out of 10 vibration strength. The highest setting reaches 5.25 out of 10, which is not intense, but I can orgasm with it.
These settings give you plenty of gradual power levels in that softer range. So it’s an excellent option for those who are easily overstimulated. However, it won’t be enough for those who crave strong vibrations.
For intensity lovers, I’d recommend the Blush Limited Addiction instead. This budget-friendly bullet starts at 5 and reaches a 10 out of 10 vibration strength. Since it begins with fair power, it’s best for those who don’t need very gentle settings.
If you want a bullet covering the spectrum from gentle to intense, you’ll need to increase your budget a bit. The Pillow Talk Racy is the most budget-friendly option that has plenty of levels covering both mild and strong stimulation.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
We rate bullets with rumbly vibrations higher than those with buzzy ones because it’s what most people want. But it’s a personal preference!
The Nu Sensuelle Point has decent rumbliness for its power. The first 3 power levels are in the rumbly range, so you have some rumbly options! Even though these are the softest power levels, the Nu Sensuelle Point’s low settings start with a solid kick at a 6 out of 10 strength. So these rumbly vibrations pack substantial impact.
I consider the next three settings neutral – neither rumbly nor buzzy. I enjoy these neutral settings, but they may disappoint you if you prefer rumbly vibrations. The rest of the settings are moderately buzzy. If you like intense, buzzy vibrations, you’ll enjoy these settings.
It’s important to know that you can’t get this much intensity in a bullet vibrator without trading off some rumbliness. I haven’t found any as powerful as the Nu Sensuelle Point (8.75 out of 10 strength) that remain rumbly. The We-Vibe Tango X gets close (7.75 out of 10 strength) and is the best option for those who value strong vibrations with exceptional rumbliness.
Rumbly vibrations are what people most often prefer, so we rate those higher than buzzy ones. Though many people prefer buzziness, so consider what you enjoy.
The Satisfyer Ultra Power Bullet 5 is moderately buzzy. While the two softest power levels are rumbly, the top 3 levels I use most are buzzy. As someone who enjoys the neutral-feeling range, I’m bummed that this bullet skips right over it.
But this is to be expected with the cost – most cheap bullet vibrators are buzzy. If you want rumbly vibrations, you’ll need to increase your budget. The most affordable option that falls completely in the rumbly section is the We-Vibe Tango if you can find it, otherwise go for the Pillow Talk Racy, which is also very rumbly. The We-Vibe Tango X is the most rumbly but a bit pricier.
Stimulation Precision
The Nu Sensuelle has pretty precise stimulation due to its tapered tip. So you can limit contact to a specific area, which is great if you prefer direct, focused clitoral stimulation.
Besides the taper, the 0.79-inch width is very close to what I consider a medium-precision bullet. And when I press the side of the bullet against my body (instead of just the tip), I can distribute the vibrations across a wider area. This is useful if you enjoy firm pressure from your bullet since a wider surface area can be more comfortable to press against.
You can get reasonably precise stimulation using the Satisfyer Ultra Power Bullet 5’s tip or more mid-focused stimulation by pressing its side to your body. The tip is great for direct stimulation in a fairly small area. And I also love the indirect stimulation of pressing the side to my lips. If you prefer broader stimulation, some other mini vibrators like the Dame Pom or We-Vibe Touch X may suit you better.
Comfort & Ease of Use
The Nu Sensuelle Point is comfortable to grip and easy to leverage, but its poor control system is annoying.
Its 0.79-inch wide body is comfortable to hold, and it has enough length (3.7 inches) to easily leverage and apply pressure. Even after long periods, I don’t feel finger or wrist strain while gripping this bullet. The vibrations travel into my hand a bit, but this is most prominent when held in the air. When you press the bullet against you, the vibrations in my hand dampen, and I don’t find them distracting.
Unfortunately, with 20 settings (10 power levels and 10 vibration patterns), its one-button control system is annoying. If you want to return to a previous setting, you need to cycle through all the remaining power levels and patterns!
You cannot even take a shortcut by turning the Nu Sensuelle Point off and back on to start over because it has a memory feature. It will pick back up where you left off! This is another reason I think the nearly identical Nasstoys Travel Vibe Mini is more convenient.
Even better are bullet vibrators with separate buttons to increase and decrease power, like the cheaper Blush Limited Addiction or the premium We-Vibe Tango X.
The Satisfyer Bullet 5 is easy to hold and leverage. The shape is bulbous – bulging out in the toy’s middle and gradually narrowing toward the tip. It feels a little awkward in my hand but doesn’t inhibit good pressure or a firm grip.
The vibrations don’t travel into my hand either, so griping for long periods is comfortable.
There’s one button to control the vibration intensities and patterns, so unfortunately, you have to cycle through them all to get to the one you want. I prefer the bullets that let you power up or back down, like the Blush Limited Addiction. If greater control is a priority to you, the Satisfyer Ultra Bullet 8 is about the same cost, and you have greater control over it with the Satisfyer app.
Use During Sex
The Nu Sensuelle Point is very easy and comfortable to use during sex (provided you don’t typically change power levels often). It’s a great thin size to fit into tight spaces. The bullet is also long enough that I can comfortably hold it between our bodies.
I can also keep good contact with my clit without angling the bullet’s base out in a way that interferes with my partner’s body.
The Satisfyer Ultra Bullet 5 is alright during sex. The bulbous shape and short length make maneuvering more awkward during sex than by yourself, but it’s not impossible. The tapered shape makes it challenging to keep clitoral contact in positions facing your partner like Missionary.
In positions facing the same direction as your partner (like Spooning), it’s easy to keep this bullet pressed to my clit. Though leveraging it for good pressure is a little tiring on my fingers since it’s so small.
I prefer longer bullets during sex like the Blush Limited Addiction or Pillow Talk Racy. These allow you to loosely grab the end and adjust the angle and pressure with a light twist of your fingers.
Noise
The Nu Sensuelle Point is one of the louder bullet vibrators I’ve tested, measuring 50.0 dB on high. I can use the low and middle power levels without my partner hearing the vibrations from the other side of a closed bedroom door. But when standing behind the door, he heard the upper settings easily.
Remember that the Nu Sensuelle gets pretty strong, so you still have some powerful levels to enjoy discreetly.
But if you want all power levels to be safe, the Blush Limited Addiction gets even stronger than the Nu Sensuelle Point while remaining inaudible from behind a closed door.
The Satisfyer Power Bullet 5 is inaudible on all power levels from behind a closed door. So it’s a safe option even if you have housemates. Part of why it’s so quiet is that it’s a mid-strength bullet.
There are also plenty of bullets out there that get stronger but still cannot be heard from outside your bedroom. The Lovense Ambi, Pillow Talk Racy, and Blush Limited Addiction are a few of my favorite discreet bullet vibrators.
Battery Life
The Nu Sensuelle Point is rechargeable and has a pretty good battery life for its strength. In our testing, it lasted 85 minutes constantly vibrating on its maximum power. This is very convenient if you frequently forget to charge between uses like me.
The Satisfyer Bullet 5 has great battery life, lasting nearly two hours on high power. So you can enjoy multiple sessions with it between charges.
Build Quality
The Nu Sensuelle Point has a smooth texture, a solid feel when pressing the button, and a pretty durable feel. Though it’s not quite as heavy as the nearly identical Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini, which makes that bullet feel a little higher-quality.
The Satisfyer Ultra Power Bullet 5 has reasonable build quality for its affordable price. The lightweight plastic definitely feels a little cheap. The button on the end takes some effort to press, which can be frustrating. But I’ve had no issues with performance or the toy breaking.
Cleaning
This bullet is completely waterproof (IPX7), so you can completely submerge it while you scrub it with soap and water, making it very easy to clean!
The Satisfyer Ultra Power Bullet 5 is very easy to clean. It’s IPX7 waterproof which is completely submersible. So you can clean it with soap and water without worry – and even take it into the bath with you!
