The Le Wand Rechargeable has moderate to high-powered vibrations, and it’s surprisingly 9% stronger than the corded Le Wand Plug-In. It has 8 intensity levels, so increasing power is gradual. But it begins already fairly strong – there are no truly gentle levels for when you’re warming up.

And although the Le Wand Rechargeable is strong it has one of the weakest top-power levels for a wand its size. This may not matter to you – many people never use the upper strengths on their wand vibrators. But since it’s priced so high, I’d expect to have the option.

Wands this large and heavy are also more difficult to leverage for good pressure – so more natural power is nice to have. So if you like this size, I would recommend getting a stronger one like the BMS PalmPower Extreme or Magic Wand Plus.

And if you’re really on the hunt for the highest power – the Doxy Die Cast is the strongest wand massager I own.

Each of these also has a softer warmup power level.

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.

We rate rumbly wands higher than buzzy wands since most people prefer rumbliness. But vibration frequency is a personal preference. Consider what you enjoy!

The Le Wand Rechargeable is a buzzy vibrator. But it’s not too far on the buzzy side, so some people will enjoy it.

Only the lowest level falls (just barely) in the moderately rumbly range. Most of its power levels feel buzzy. Even though I enjoy some buzzy vibrators, high-frequency vibrations with this much power feel really uncomfortable to me.

If you want a powerful wand like the Le Wand Rechargeable, most people will prefer something with more rumbliness. Consider a strong, rumbly wand like the Magic Wand Rechargeable, or We-Vibe Wand 2.

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.

While very few of my wands, including the Le Wand, are really uncomfortable – I consider this wand one of the more difficult to use.

The main problem is that it’s heavy. And the weight is distributed in a way that makes it feel even heavier than others with a similar weight like the Magic Wand Rechargeable.

The handle is also a little wider than I find comfortable with no contouring to help (like the Viben Sultry has, for instance). So it can grow tiring during long sessions. The mid-sized Le Wand Dive is much easier to grip and maneuver.

I also find the head too firm for my taste. I am ok with a firm head on smaller wands. But the Le Wand Rechargeable’s head is large enough that it bumps against my pubic bone occasionally. And without a squishy head, this can be uncomfortable.

I prefer large wands with plush heads like the Magic Wand Rechargeable or Magic Wand Plus.

Note: The handle material does affect the experience. My Le Wand Rechargeable, which I ordered in “white”, is a shiny, grippier plastic, which sticks to my hand better. I ordered the Le Wand Plug-In in “cream”, which has a matte finish, and this slides in my hand more easily, so it takes more effort to hold. Since you can’t select the exact handle material (only the color), you can contact the manufacturer before purchasing to ensure you get your desired finish if this matters to you.

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.

As with general comfort, I also find the Le Wand Rechargeable more difficult to use during sex than other large wands. Mainly due to its weight, firm head, and buzzy vibrations.

It’s tiring to use the Le Wand in positions where you’re holding the wand’s weight up, like Spooning and Doggystyle.

Missionary is the easiest position to hold it in since I’m lying on my back, and the weight adds natural pressure. But the large, rounded head is difficult to fit in tight spots, so I can’t position the head very near to my clit. I feel the vibrations that manage to travel through my body rather than enjoying direct contact like I typically prefer with more buzzy wands like this.

Because the vibrations are buzzy, I also have to press them harder against me to feel them effectively. So I have to leverage this heavy wand even more! Whereas rumbly vibrations naturally travel deeper.

The firm head also bumps into me uncomfortably with a lot of movement during sex. I’d prefer a more plush head. A curved handle or angled head would also help fit this wand’s large head into tight spaces without discomfort.

If you want a powerful wand that’s easy to use during sex, consider the BMS PalmPower Extreme – one of my personal favorites. It’s stronger, lighter, and has a helpful angled head.

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.

Unfortunately, the Le Wand is one of my loudest wands. And you can’t simply keep the power low to be discreet. The lowest level is almost as loud as the highest setting!

When my partner sits on the other side of our bedroom door, he can hear me using the Le Wand Rechargeable on all power levels. However, turning on a fan or music does drown it out.

But there are definitely quieter options if sound is a priority. The Magic Wand Rechargeable and especially the We-Vibe Wand 2 are powerful wand massagers with more discreet sound levels.

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 Le Wand Rechargeable is compatible with a large variety of wand attachments.

Le Wand has several attachments designed specifically for this wand. And since the head size is close enough to the full-sized Magic Wands, it’s also compatible with attachments designed for them.

Whatever stimulation you’re looking for (G-spot, anal, penis, dual-stimulation, etc.), you can find an attachment that fits the Le Wand Rechargeable.

But since the Magic Wand Rechargeable and Magic Wand Plus have the same attachment compatibility and outperform the Le Wand in other areas, I’d consider one of them instead.

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.

For all the attachments that fit this wand, see our wand attachment compatibility table here.

The Le Wand Rechargeable works fairly well with wand mounts for hands-free stimulation! The two mounts I test my wands with are the Liberator Axis and Wanda.

Of the two, the Le Wand works better with the Axis mount. With this wand mount, you lie across it on your stomach, and the Axis holds the wand to your clit at a slight upward angle. It gives effortless clit stimulation in a relaxing position. But better yet, you can enjoy the vibes during sex with your partner penetrating from behind.

The Le Wand’s larger handle keeps this wand in place well. And the tall, broad head provides lots of surface area to receive clit stimulation from. So the Le Wand stays in great contact with my clit and provides good pressure. The only wands I like better with this mount are angled or have a curved handle – like the BMS Palmpower Extreme or Dame Com.

Le Wand Rechargeable is trickier with the Wanda mount. This mount holds the more upright. Then you straddle the mount as it holds the wand to your clit.

The Le Wand is slightly taller than I’d like for the Wanda – I can’t rest my weight down on it. If you’re taller than me, it may work better for you. I’m 5’4” for reference.

In general, I find slightly shorter wands like the BMS PalmPower Extreme easier to use with the Liberator Wanda mount.

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.

Battery life is where the Le Wand Rechargeable really crushed it. It has one of the longest battery lives of any of my rechargeable wands at 224 minutes on high power. And you can use it while plugged in (a rare feature for rechargeable wands), so you don’t need to wait for the battery to charge.

That being said – I don’t think a long battery life is reason enough to justify the high price of this wand. And there are several other high-powered wands that will provide 2+ hours of play easily, including the Magic Wand Rechargeable (which you can also use while plugged in) and We-Vibe Wand 2.

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.

The plastic handle of the Le Wand Rechargeable feels much thicker and more sturdy than the handle of the Petite. The neck is thick and strong, so I’m not worried about applying firm pressure.

Compared to the Magic Wand, the Le Wand’s firm silicone head is not as high-quality and the buttons are not as comfortable to use. But it’s still a well-built and solid wand.

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.
