The BMS PalmPower Extreme is one of the most powerful rechargeable wand vibrators.

At a 9 out of 10 top strength, only a small handful of wands, like the Magic Wand Plus, Magic Wand Waterproof, and the Doxy Die Cast, are comparable.

I usually orgasm on the PalmPower Extreme’s second level, rarely using the third, and almost never the top power because it’s so immense. But power queens and kings will love these upper settings.

The lowest setting’s 2 out of 10 strength is excellent because I need these softer vibrations for a warm-up. I’m not ready for the second level’s strength immediately, so I spend considerable time on the first level.  This setting is impactful, warming me up without feeling overwhelming. Then, I switch to the second level and usually finish there!

You can also access a broad range of power levels spanning between the 4 default settings by using PalmPower’s incremental control. By holding the plus or minus button, the wand’s power will slowly and gradually change power. When it reaches your desired strength, release the button.

With its wide power range from soft to extreme and the ability to gradually step through levels, most people will find something they enjoy.

The Orion Grande Wand has a wonderfully powerful 9 out of 10 max strength, but lacks any gentle or moderate settings, so its range is poor.

There are no low or mid-powered levels – its 7 settings begin strong and just get stronger. This works great if you typically skip straight to the powerful settings, or if you’re willing to use another toy to warm up first. But if you need a wand with gentle levels, this isn’t it.

I usually prefer to start with softer settings, but since the Orion Grande Wand is so rumbly, I’m surprised that I typically enjoy it without any warmup. The rumbliness prevents the stimulation from feeling jarring to me. It just means I’ll reach the finish line a lot quicker rather than slowly building and enjoying a longer session.

If you need a wand with a wider power range, the BMS PalmPower Extreme and Magic Wand Plus have intense top settings and gentler starting levels.

The BMS PalmPower Extreme’s frequency range is right in my sweet spot, ranging from extremely rumbly to neutral. The lowest level is extremely rumbly – part of what makes it an excellent warmup level that’s not overstimulating. And the second level (my favorite) is moderately rumbly. To me, this is the perfect combination of the comfortable, deep impact that comes from rumbliness, and the bit of a “zing” that extremely rumbly vibrations are sometimes missing.

As you increase power, a wand’s frequency always becomes less rumbly, and the PalmPower Extreme’s top two levels are neutral. But it doesn’t cross into the buzzy range as other comparably powerful wands like the Magic Wand Plus, Magic Wand Waterproof, and Doxy Die Cast do. But if you value a bit better rumbliness, you may enjoy the We-Vibe Wand 2 more.

Overall, the vibration feel and frequency of this wand contribute to it being one of my favorites!

We rate rumbly wands higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer them.

The Orion Grande Wand is my most rumbly wand. None of my other wands reach this high a power while staying this low-frequency. Rumbly vibrations near this strength usually come at a much higher price tag.

I love using this wand as a muscle-massager too because the vibrations travel deep into my body like I haven’t experienced with other wands. When I press this wand against my vulva, I often feel the vibrations through my core. The strong, deep vibrations are my favorite thing about it, and are the Orion Grande’s primary advantage over other wands.

With the Orion Grande, you trade off gentle and moderate settings for affordable rumbly vibrations at extreme strengths. It’s best for those who prioritize the strongest, most rumbly vibrations over everything else.

Though this wand has the power and broad head of a full-sized wand, the PalmPower Extreme is more compact and lighter making it easy to maneuver like a mini wand. The weight feels balanced in my hands and the silicone-backed handle is comfortable to grip.

Most importantly, the angled head is not a gimmick, as I thought it might be before using this wand. It helps me leverage the wand more easily and apply pressure while keeping my hands in a comfortable position. I value comfort, so this was a major benefit for me.

Unlike the Magic Wand Rechargeable’s plush silicone, the PalmPower Extreme’s head is firm, yet still comfortable since the neck has some flexibility; But not too much that applying firm pressure becomes difficult. It’s an excellent balance.

The buttons are easy to feel and press without looking. There are separate buttons to increase and decrease power, so you don’t need to cycle through intensity levels. The incremental control is great for accessing power levels beyond the 4 default settings. Hold the plus or minus button to gradually change the power and release it when it reaches a level you enjoy.

And it’s the only wand this powerful that’s fully waterproof – so cleaning it is easy.

I reach for this wand very often, because it provides a great, comfortable experience, with excellent vibrations!

The Orion Grande Wand is pretty comfortable and very easy to use.

The handle is thick and heavy, which can be tiring to grip and leverage over long periods. This could be problematic if you like to move your wand around and apply firm pressure.

But I find the vibrations are so strong that I don’t have to press very hard with this wand. And its weight provides a natural downward pressure, so my wrist doesn’t have to do much. The handle dampens the vibrations surprisingly well, so they travel only through the head.

The round head has no uncomfortable edges but is firm, which can bump around if you press too hard. I prefer to rest this wand lightly against me, and let the rumbly vibes travel comfortably through me.

The buttons allow you to increase and decrease strength, so you don’t have to cycle through all the settings as you do with many wands. It’s listed as splashproof, but we could not determine its specific IPX rating, so we recommend cleaning it with a damp cloth.

This wand is in my top two for use during sex (and my favorite to use with a wand mount for hands-free sex).

While its head isn’t tiny like mini wands, it’s slimmer and smaller than full-sized wands. So it still fits well between bodies and in tight spaces during sex. And since its vibrations have a substantial impact, precisely positioning this wand isn’t necessary to get the clit stimulation I need.

The angled head is especially helpful during sex. The head’s angle rests between my legs while the handle lies comfortably parallel along my body. So the handle does not stick out or get in the way, preventing me from leveraging the wand as a straight handle can – this is especially beneficial in positions facing each other like Missionary or Cowgirl.

The handle is also compact but still has enough length that you can rest the base on your bed to help support the wand in certain positions like Spooning or Doggystyle. If you plan to use your wand regularly with a partner, this is an excellent choice.

Even though it’s large and heavy, the Orion Grande Wand is a great wand to use during sex, primarily due to its extreme strength and rumbly vibrations. The vibrations travel extremely well through your body, even when you can’t position the head directly near your clit.

This is important because the Grande’s head is big and firm, so you can’t get it as close to your clit when facing your partner as you could a smaller toy. If you want to apply firm pressure and fit the head close, it takes some effort because the thick handle is tiring to grip tightly, and the firm head can bounce against you.

It’s better to rest the wand against you lightly. The power and extreme rumbliness provide great stimulation even with light pressure. This prevents wrist or hand strain and stops it from bumping around. The vibrations are so deep and powerful that direct contact and firm pressure aren’t necessary for strong stimulation.

In doggystyle, the bulbous mid-point on the handle helps keep the wand from slipping down my hand without needing to grip tightly. The handle is also long enough to rest against the bed to help support its weight, which is essential since it’s so heavy.

I have to stagger my legs in the spooning position because otherwise, the vibrations travel into my legs too much. But the smooth, rounded head distributes pressure comfortably and maintains good contact.

As an extremely powerful wand, the BMS PalmPower Extreme is not one of the quietest options. It’s discreet on its lower levels, remaining inaudible behind a closed door. But my partner could hear its middle and upper settings during our testing.

This is pretty typical for a wand this strong. If you plan to use its highest settings while others are home, you may need to play music to remain discreet. Though I typically orgasm on its lower levels which are quieter.

The Orion Grande has average noise levels compared to other wands, but is impressively quiet when you factor in its enormous strength.

In our test, my partner could only hear it from behind the closed bedroom door on the highest settings, and hardly at all. He had to open the door several times to confirm it was actually the toy he was hearing. The low-frequency vibes blend really easily into background noise.

Low and middle levels were completely inaudible.

The BMS PalmPower Extreme has limited compatibility with wand attachments. Its head is mid-sized, so it’s incompatible with attachments designed for full-sized wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable. There is an insertable (G-spot, anal, or prostate) attachment designed specifically for this wand, but it’s a little flimsy.

However, attachments designed for the Le Wand Petite also fit the BMS PalmPower Extreme. These attachments cover a broad variety of stimulation and are high quality. If you want to explore wand attachments for this wand, I’d recommend Le Wand’s. Head to our full wand attachment compatibility table for the full breakdown of attachments we’ve tested.

The Orion Grande Wand has good compatibility with attachments. Several of my attachments fit it with a variety of stimulation types. It’s an excellent choice if you’d like to experiment with attachments to vary your experience.

I test all my wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts for hands-free play. The BMS PalmPower Extreme’s angled head makes it my favorite to use with both (solo and during sex).

The Axis holds the wand at a slight upward angle between my legs as I lie on my stomach across the mount. I can rest in this position and orgasm solo, or my partner can enter from behind – my favorite way to use this wand! Hands-free sex using the Axis and PalmPower Extreme combo has become a go-to move for my partner and me.

In this position, the head’s upward angle positions it closer to my clit than a straight wand and applies additional pressure. I don’t need to adjust my body to maintain contact as I do with other wands. The angle sets this wand apart and makes all the difference if you love firm pressure!

It also has the best versatility in the Liberator Wanda since I can face its angled head two different directions. One direction raises the head which is excellent when I’m on my hands and knees which requires greater height. This position works really well during sex. The other direction places the head just above the fabric. This lets me straddle the mount and sit directly on it, leaning forward or backward to vary the stimulation.

Overall, the BMS PalmPower Extreme is extremely versatile with mounts, and does a great job at keeping firm, consistent contact with my body for excellent stimulation. It’s my favorite for hands-free play.

We test every wand with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. The Orion Grande Wand works great with both!

The Axis holds the Orion at an angle while you lie across it on your stomach. The large, rounded head provides a comfortable surface to press against, and the rumbly vibes travel deep for excellent stimulation.

The Wanda holds the Orion pointing up, and you straddle it on your knees. The rumbly vibrations travel well, and the head’s surface is comfortable to press against. I wish the head were a bit more plush – it can feel a little firm if you’re using this with a partner, but it’s still very comfortable overall.

In our testing, this rechargeable wand lasted 108 minutes continuously vibrating on its max power. This is slightly above average, though there are longer-lasting wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable if that’s a big priority.

Unlike many wands which use proprietary chargers, the BMS PalmPower Extreme simply uses a USB Type C cable, so it’s easy to replace if you lose it.

The Orion Grande Wand is rechargeable but has a very short battery life. In my tests, it only lasted 30 minutes on high power. This means it’s essential to charge between uses.

The BMS PalmPower Extreme is another great, powerful wand that lasts 108 minutes if you need something longer.

This wand has an excellent build. The combination of a silicone-backed handle with a solid plastic front feels very sturdy and comfortable. The motor is excellent quality – the only one this powerful that does not become buzzy.

The head’s neck flexes a good amount without feeling flimsy – I can apply firm pressure without worry. And the silicone-coated buttons are easy to feel and comfortable to press. And its waterproof rating makes sure it won’t be damaged while cleaning.

The Orion Grande Wand has good build quality. The body feels solid with a strong neck that seems unlikely to break. It’s almost entirely coated in smooth silicone, which feels luxurious.

If you squeeze the head very hard, you can feel that the head’s casing has some strange lumps, but doesn’t affect performance. The silicone at the neck feels a little thin, but hasn’t caused any problems.

I want to note that the first Orion Grande Wand we received was defective. We believe it likely got damaged during shipping, as it never worked for us. We reached out to PeepShowToys (who we purchased it from) right away, and they sent us a replacement, so the above notes are based on our second, properly functioning wand.

The first wand wouldn’t turn on consistently unless we plugged in the charger briefly before use, even if it was fully charged.

The new product does not have any issues and reliably powers on.
