Fun Factory Vim vs Kiiroo ProWand Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The Fun Factory Vim is a luxury vibrator with a weighted motor that creates powerful, extremely rumbly vibrations. Its strength ranges from gentle to extreme, so it has something for everyone.
Even with its impactful, weighted motor, the Vim is lighter than other full-sized wands. Its relatively low weight and slim silicone handle make it especially comfortable and easy to maneuver. While many large wands are tricky to use during sex, the Vim’s vibrations are so deep and rumbly that they provide excellent stimulation even when you can’t position it right near your clit because space is limited.
I love using the Vim with my wand attachments and mounts. And it’s the quietest wand with extreme power. The Fun Factory Vim is pricey, but it has the best overall performance of any wand vibrator I’ve tested (replacing the Magic Wand Rechargeable). Those who prioritize exceptional rumbliness will especially love the Vim.
The Kiiroo ProWand is a pretty good wand, but it isn’t the best app-controlled wand for most people.
It can be a good choice if you’re easily overstimulated or prefer gentle to moderate vibration strength. Its five settings offer a gradual build from mild to moderate, and the app gives you even more precise control. It’s also exceptionally quiet, IPX7 waterproof for bath play, and its slim, compact design makes it easy to maneuver, especially during sex.
However, it serves a very specific niche. The ProWand is only worth considering if you need an app-controlled wand that is both quiet (unlike the louder, more powerful Lovense Domi 2) and has a compact, small head (unlike the full-sized We-Vibe Wand 2).
To get that specific combination of features, you must accept the more basic app control and lack of extremely powerful top settings. For everyone else, the Lovense Domi 2 offers a far superior app-controlled experience for the same price, and those who don’t need app-control have even more options – see our best wand vibrators here.

Vibrations: Power And Range
The Fun Factory Vim has an excellent power range that starts gently and reaches extreme strength on high.
Although there are even more powerful wands, I consider the Vim’s top strength of 7.3 out of 10 extremely intense and more than enough for me. I rarely use the top levels because the first few settings provide plenty of stimulation. It’s especially strong, considering how rumbly the Vim is – most wands that reach this strength become buzzy.
The Fun Factory Vim’s 5 preset power levels provide a gradual journey from gentle to intense. The initial strength of 1.7 out of 10 provides an enjoyable warmup without overstimulating. And steps from one setting to the next are comfortably small.
You can make the transitions even more subtle by holding down the (+) or (-) buttons. This slowly increases or decreases the motor’s power until you release the button. It allows you to access intermediate power levels beyond the Fun Factory Vim’s 5 predetermined settings. Holding the (-) button also allows you to reach an even gentler starting level.
Because the Fun Factory Vim’s power range is wide and gradual, you’ll likely find settings that suit you. The only people who might not be satisfied with the Vim’s power range are those who want as much intensity as possible. If that’s you, consider the Doxy Die Cast or BMS PalmPower Extreme, but most people will not need more power than the Vim offers.
The Kiiroo ProWand has a decent vibration range, starting very gently and reaching a moderate top strength. This may be disappointing for those expecting the extreme power typical of wands, but it’s a great fit if you want a gradual build with strength comparable to mid-sized, non-wand vibrators. It has enough strength for me personally.
The five preset powers climb gradually enough that I’m not shocked by the transition, and they’re also distinct enough that each setting feels different, so I like spending time on each one. If you want an even more custom experience, you can use the app to adjust the power with a slider, which lets you reach in-between settings that aren’t available with the buttons alone.
If you want the higher vibration strength that’s typically expected of wands, both the app-controlled Lovense Domi 2 or the non-app-controlled BMS PalmPower Extreme are great alternatives in this price range.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
We rate wands with rumbly vibrations higher than those with buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. Rumbly vibrations travel deeper and impact the entire area. But some people like buzzy vibrations that stay near the surface, so consider your preferences!
The Fun Factory Vim has outstanding rumbliness. The heavy weight in its motor creates impactful vibrations without needing to spin as fast as a lighter motor (slower speeds feel more rumbly, and faster speeds feel buzzier).
It reaches a deeper, more rumbly level on its lowest setting than any of my other wands. The first 4 of 5 settings are extremely rumbly. And even the highest power is still moderately rumbly. Most wand vibrators that reach a comparable strength are buzzier.
The Fun Factory Vim is my main wand vibrator recommendation for those who value rumbly vibrations. Although the Lelo Smart Wand 2 and Orion Grande Wand have even lower-frequency vibrations than the Fun Factory Vim, they’re worse wands overall.
If you’re familiar with the We-Vibe Tango X, a small bullet vibrator famous for being super rumbly – the Fun Factory Vim is even more rumbly, while being much stronger!
I also find the Vim’s extreme rumbliness feels particularly enjoyable with my Liberator Axis mount for hands-free stimulation during sex.
We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer them. This is all up to personal preference, though, so consider what you like.
The first four settings of the Kiiroo ProWand are rumbly, and the top setting has a neutral feel. The settings are spread out to cover a wider frequency range than many of my other wands, which is likely why each setting feels so different. I enjoy spending time with each one.
If you enjoy rumbly settings at gentler strengths, the ProWand is excellent. But if you want stronger rumbly vibrations, the Lovense Domi 2 is better.
App Control: Main Takeaways
In the next sections, I’ll cover the Kiiroo FeelConnect 3 app’s Close-Range Features, its Long-Distance Features, and its Connectivity in detail.
But here’s the main conclusion:
Kiiroo’s FeelConnect 3 app is middle-of-the-road. Its features are adequate for close-range play and provide some fun customization options. However, the connectivity is hit-or-miss for long-distance control, and the overall experience isn’t as polished or feature-rich as Lovense’s (the best app-controlled brand).
Overall, if the app experience is your main priority, the Lovense Domi 2 is the clear winner. But if you see the app as a fun bonus feature and you prioritize the ProWand’s other qualities (like its quietness, more moderate intensity, and small head), then the app is good enough to still be enjoyable.
App Control: Close Range Features
The Kiiroo ProWand has decent close-range features in the FeelConnect 3 app. It’s not as user-friendly as my favorite app (Lovense), but it provides good basic control with more customization features than the We-Vibe app.
There are several screens in the app that provide different ways to control your Kiiroo ProWand:
- Touch Control
- Patterns
- Sound Control
- Device-to-Device
In Touch Control, you can set a constant vibration intensity by dragging an on-screen dot up or down. The dot displays the power percentage, giving you great in-the-moment visual feedback and highly customized control, similar to my favorite feature in the Lovense app.
To create a wave-like pattern, you can pop out a side panel with three ovals representing the low, mid, and high parts of the power spectrum. The wand will then oscillate through whichever sections you have selected. For example, if you select the bottom two ovals, the wave will vibrate back-and-forth between the low and mid-powers. In this mode, the on-screen dot no longer controls intensity but instead adjusts the speed of the wave—lower for slower, higher for faster.
While this allows for good customization, I find the whole process less intuitive than the simple “loop” and “float” features in the Lovense Domi’s app, which make it easier to create any pattern quickly.
In FeelConnect’s Patterns, you can draw your own patterns using the Touch Control screen and save them to use again in the future. This is where all your saved patterns will be stored.
A useful feature for both the Touch Control and Patterns screens is the ability to control multiple Kiiroo toys simultaneously. Whether you’re using a clitoral and G-spot toy on yourself or playing with a partner, you can sync both toys to vibrate together. However, they will both follow the exact same pattern; unlike the Lovense app, you can’t control each toy independently on the same screen.
With Sound Control, your ProWand will vibrate based on the sound picked up by your phone’s mic. The screen displays a sound threshold line; whenever the noise around you is louder than this threshold, the ProWand vibrates. You can drag the threshold line up or down to make it more or less sensitive. A vertical slider on the right lets you set the constant intensity your wand will vibrate at when the sound is loud enough.
Device-to-Device control allows for hands-free control of a partner’s toy. In this mode, you select one “Main Device” that has a touch sensor and up to two “Controlled Devices” (which don’t need a sensor). When the Main Device is pressed against your body, the Controlled Device(s) will vibrate at full power. This is a neat way to sync up your partner’s stimulation with yours.
The Kiiroo ProWand does not have a touch sensor, so it can only be a “Controlled Device.” I paired it with my Kiiroo Fuse as the Main Device, and once you get used to it, the feature works pretty well. There’s a tiny delay, but it’s not too noticeable. However, the app must remain open and on-screen for it to work.
Through the app, you can also customize the color and flashing sequence of the light on the bottom of the wand, but you cannot turn the light off entirely.
If app control is a fun bonus feature, but not a top priority, the Kiiroo ProWand is a nice choice! But the Lovense app provides a better user experience, easier pattern creation, and tons of pre-made patterns. If you’ll use the app often, the Lovense Domi 2 is better.
App Control: Long Distance Features
The Kiiroo ProWand’s long-distance features in the FeelConnect 3 app are adequate but basic.
Within the app, you can message a partner, give them control of your toy, and video chat with them while they control your ProWand. Your partner’s control screen is just a simple slider to control the power (to send a “pattern” you’d have to continually drag the slider). This is functional, but less intuitive and more basic than other apps like Lovense, which allow a controlling partner to create looping patterns on the fly or send pre-designed patterns. Unlike other apps, you also can’t share photos or saved patterns with your partner.
If you want to play with someone regularly, you can add them as a partner by searching for their username in the “Interact” section. This saves them to your partner list where you can see their online status (though this isn’t always accurate) and quickly connect. If you’d prefer to give someone anonymous one-time control, you can instead generate a timed link that expires after a period of time you set. Once the time has expired, they’ll lose control of your toy.
If long-distance control will be an occasional activity for you, the Kiiroo ProWand works okay (though it has some connectivity issues in long-distance mode, discussed below). But if you plan to use this feature frequently, the Lovense Domi 2’s app is more reliable, has better features, and gives your partner better visuals and controls.
App Control: Connectivity
The Kiiroo ProWand’s FeelConnect 3 app has decent connectivity in close range but can be frustrating in long-distance mode.
Pairing the toy with the app is usually quick and reliable. Occasionally, it won’t pair right away, but restarting the app fixes the issue. Once connected, I can use the app’s close-range features consistently, even with periods of inactivity or while switching between other apps, and it rarely disconnects. If it does, re-pairing is quick and easy.
Long-distance mode is where the connectivity is spottier. About 25-50% of the time, my initial video call does not go through to my partner; they only receive a “missed call” notification. The app also often shows my partner as offline when they are online. Thankfully, you can still send a call either way. But it takes more out-of-app communication to coordinate a session.
The Lovense Domi 2 is very reliable, and I recommend it instead if you plan to frequently use the long-distance features.
Comfort & Ease of Use
The Fun Factory Vim is very comfortable and extremely easy to use, especially for a full-sized wand vibrator.
Although the Vim’s motor is heavy, the overall weight is lighter than most full-sized wands, making it easier to maneuver. The fact that most of the weight is in the Vim’s head helps it naturally press the vibes deeper without needing to leverage the wand as much with your wrists.
The Vim’s handle is slim and covered with a slightly plush, textured silicone, providing a comfortable grip. The Vim’s silicone feels especially luxurious. And the vibrations are not at all distracting in my hands – they travel less into the handle than many other wands this powerful.
The head is fairly firm, which can feel less comfortable when pressing against less fleshy areas (like your pubic bone). But the Vim’s flexible neck helps keep it comfortable despite its firmness. And the wide head (2.4 inches) spreads the contact comfortably over a broad surface area.
The Fun Factory Vim’s controls are excellent and easy to use too.
It turns on and off with a simple press of the button (no need to hold it down like several wands require). But more importantly, it has separate buttons to increase and decrease power. You do not have to cycle through all the settings to return to a previous strength. And if you want more gradual increments between intensity levels, you can hold the (+) or (-) button to change the power slowly.
The only thing that could improve its controls is an additional button to move through the vibration patterns. You change vibration patterns by using the (+) and (-) buttons. Once you’ve reached the top strength, clicking the (+) button again will move you into the vibration patterns. You cannot alter the pattern’s strength since you use the (+) and (-) buttons to change vibration patterns. This is not a big concern since most people rarely use vibration patterns.
You can also use the Fun Factory Vim’s travel lock to keep it from accidentally turning on in storage. Just press and hold the “Fun” and “-” buttons together for 2 seconds to lock it. Hold “Fun” and “+” to unlock.
The Kiiroo ProWand is very comfortable and easy to use. It’s best for those who prefer mini wands – the compact size is easy to move around and fit into tight spots.
The slim head allows more precise contact than wands with large heads. Though the head is firm, the extreme flexibility of the neck keeps contact very comfortable. Though it takes extra effort to leverage for firm pressure because of this neck flexibility.
The handle is long enough to provide several grip points, and slim enough to wrap your hand around easily.
The controls are excellent, allowing you to increase and decrease strength with separate buttons. If you like to adjust power levels frequently, this is important – it helps you get to your ideal setting quickly.
One downside is the noticeable light at the base of the handle. In the app, you can customize the light features by selecting the color and flashing sequence of the light during use. You can adjust it so that it doesn’t flash, but you cannot turn this light off entirely, which some people may find distracting.
Use During Sex
The Fun Factory Vim works great during sex. Though it’s larger than I typically prefer during sex, the Vim’s rumbliness allows the vibrations to travel deep into my body in an effective way that’s not overstimulating.
So even though I can’t fit the Vim’s head directly near my clit in face-to-face positions where space is limited, the vibrations are still effective because they travel to my clit anyway!
Spooning and Doggystyle positions with the Vim are awesome! The head comfortably distributes pressure and vibrations, and I can grip the handle at multiple points along the handle for excellent leverage. The long handle is especially useful because you can prop it on the bed in these positions if your arm gets tired.
The Kiiroo ProWand is fantastic to use during sex. For a wand, it’s very slim and lightweight, allowing you to maneuver it easily, and it fits between you and a partner for great stimulation in any position.
The handle is shorter than full-sized wands but longer than most mini wands, giving you plenty of length to leverage without having to reach too far. In positions like doggystyle or spooning, you still have enough handle length to prop against the bed for support.
The slim head is especially important to me during partnered use, as larger heads can bump against my pubic bone painfully. With the ProWand’s tall, oval shape, I can easily limit contact to comfortable areas.
Noise
The Fun Factory Vim has excellent noise levels. It’s the best option for those looking to balance power and discretion. Only weaker wand vibrators are quieter than the Fun Factory Vim.
For a wand this powerful, the decibel readings were especially low.
And during our testing, I could use most of the power settings in the bedroom without my partner being able to hear from the other side of the door. My partner could only hear the top level. And even then, my partner noted that he could barely make out the Vim’s sound. The vibrations are so deep that they’re unnoticeable unless you’re trying to listen for it.
Turning on a box fan easily masks the noise if you’re worried.
Since the vibrations are so rumbly, they have an excellent, deep sound that isn’t distracting. So, if you’re easily annoyed by noise, the Vim is a great choice!
The Kiiroo ProWand is very quiet, making it an excellent choice if you have housemates and need something discreet.
In our test, my partner could not hear the vibrations on any setting from the other side of the bedroom door. As someone sensitive to sounds, I really like the noise levels of this wand and enjoy using it.
Attachment Compatibility
The Fun Factory Vim has fantastic compatibility with wand attachments. Most attachments are designed for wands with a full-sized head like the Fun Factory Vim.
You can find compatible attachments for various stimulation, including clitoral, G-spot, penis, prostate, and dual-stimulation. You can see all the attachments I’ve tested for compatibility with the Fun Factory Vim here.
The Kiiroo ProWand has very poor attachment compatibility. The slim head that makes it great to use during sex severely limits the number of usable attachments.
Most attachments are made for wands with larger heads. In my current collection, only two fit the ProWand well. You can find a few options, but you’ll have to hunt for them. If attachments are a priority, try a wand like the We-Vibe Wand 2 or Magic Wand Plus.
Mount Compatibility
The Fun Factory Vim has outstanding compatibility with Liberator’s wand mounts for hands-free play. I test all my wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. Both work very well with the Vim.
The Axis holds your wand while you lie across the mount on your stomach. I like using the Axis to hold my wand to my clit during sex while my partner penetrates from behind. The Axis grips the Vim’s handle firmly, keeping it securely in place.
And although curved or angled wands (like the BMS PalmPower Extreme) contact my clit more firmly, the Vim still maintains great clitoral contact and stimulates well. At 2.4 inches, the Vim’s head is one of the widest, which helps it reach my clit easily. And the exceptional rumbliness is a huge bonus during hands-free use. The rumbly vibrations travel deep and stimulate my clit even if the head is positioned away from my clit.
The Fun Factory Vim works even better with the Liberator Wanda because you have more variety. If you press the handle down far enough, you can enjoy the vibrations while fully sitting on the Wanda mount, which I love during alone time. Or you can position it farther up in the mount and straddle it on your hands and knees, which works great for hands-free stimulation during penetration from behind with a partner.
We test our wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. The Kiiroo ProWand works okay with these mounts, but not as well as wands with larger heads.
The Axis holds the ProWand at a slightly upward angle while you lie across the mount on your stomach. The slim head doesn’t offer much firm pressure, but the vibrations are still enjoyable – since they’re rumbly so they travel well even without great pressure. But if you want firm pressure and more consistent contact, an angled wand with a larger head works better, like the We-Vibe Wand 2 or BMS PalmPower Extreme.
The Wanda holds the ProWand mostly upright – then you can sit on top of the mount for hands-free stimulation. This works well solo, but it would be difficult to pair with penetration from a partner – the wand’s too short for that, so you need to sit really low on the mount to keep contact with it. The slim head makes the contact surface less comfortable to press against since it’s not as broad.
The We-Vibe Wand 2 or BMS PalmPower Extreme are better in the Wanda mount for solo and partnered play.
Battery Life
The Fun Factory Vim is rechargeable and has good battery life. During our testing, it lasted about an hour and a half, continuously vibrating on its maximum power. Since it’s such a powerful wand, it’s also likely that you’ll use its lower and middle levels quite a bit. So your actual runtime will likely be longer.
The Kiiroo ProWand is rechargeable with an excellent battery life. In my test, it lasted for almost five and a half hours on high power from a single charge. This is great news if you’re like me and often forget to charge your toys between uses.
However, when left running continuously for this long, it would sometimes automatically lower the power, likely as a motor-preservation feature. For testing purposes, I reset the power to high whenever this happened. Towards the very end of the test (after several hours), it also began to behave oddly, sometimes changing to an unprompted vibration pattern. These issues do not occur during normal, shorter-duration use, even up to a couple hours.
Build Quality
The Fun Factory Vim has outstanding build quality and feels exceptionally luxurious. The silicone is slightly plush, grippy, and textured – all of which feel comfortable and luxurious.
The solid weight of the motor makes it feel durable. The head is also heavier than the handle, so it naturally tips the wand down at the angle you want. The Vim seems very solid, and the flexibility in the neck is the perfect amount to keep it comfortable without feeling like it will break when I press firmly.
The Kiiroo ProWand has good build quality. The silicone and buttons have a nice feel with no rough seams. The body is fairly lightweight, which could feel cheap to some, but also makes it easy to hold for long periods. The neck is very flexible and feels a little flimsy, but it hasn’t shown any signs of breaking.
