The Large Lelo Smart Wand 2 reaches a top strength that’s definitely stronger than my favorite non-wand vibrators. Though it’s not extreme like other full-sized wands.

I personally prefer moderate strength – I rarely (or never) use the top settings of ultrapowerful wands like the Doxy Die Cast or Magic Wand Plus. So I’m happy with the Smart Wand’s power, but people who want immense strength may consider one of those.

The vibrations also begin very gently (1 out of 10 vibration strength), and there are several intensity levels with tiny, gradual steps between each level. This is something Lelo usually does well – they rarely design a vibrator with large gaps between levels. So people who prefer milder stimulation or need soft levels for a warmup have plenty to enjoy before turning the power up.

The Doxy 3 USB-C has a great top strength but a poor power range. It’s best if you prioritize strong, but not overwhelming power and don’t need gentle starting settings.

The max power of 7 out of 10 is stronger than all my non-wand vibrators. It’s more than I need, but I can still use this setting somewhat comfortably. It’s not too strong for me like other Doxy wands’ top settings.

The lack of soft and moderate settings may be problematic for some – this wand starts out strong at a 6 out of 10 intensity. If you need a gentle warmup, the Magic Wand Plus is a better option in this price range.

But I personally find the Doxy 3 USB-C’s starting level comfortable. It’s a slightly softer start than the Doxy Die Cast 3 or 3R provide, which makes a huge difference for me! I have to warm up with another toy before using the Die Cast 3 or 3R. But that slight difference in power makes the Doxy 3 USB-C comfortable to me – even without using another toy to warm up. Part of this may also be due to the frequency.

The Large Lelo Smart Wand has some of the most rumbly vibrations I’ve ever felt – even on high power! Its vibrations are much lower frequency than the We-Vibe Tango X – a small bullet vibrator famous for its excellent rumbliness.

Most people prefer deep, rumbly vibrations. But the Large Lelo Smart Wand 2’s vibrations are so exceptionally rumbly that they feel very different from what most people are used to. You’ll have a strong opinion about the Smart Wand 2 – positive or negative!

Many who crave deep, rumbly vibes will absolutely love how these low-frequency vibrations feel. And others will discover that they actually prefer only moderately rumbly vibrations. Or stronger rumbly vibrations like the Orion Grande Wand provides.

I personally enjoy the Lelo’s rumbly vibrations if I hold it lightly against my clit. But I typically prefer firm pressure – and when I press these deep vibrations firmly into me, they’re so rumbly that I feel them spread throughout a large area of my body. I can even feel some residual vibes in my stomach. They don’t hone in and target my clit directly.

Many who love wands for their broad, deep stimulation will enjoy this quality. Others will want something less rumbly with vibrations that don’t travel quite as deep. I personally prefer wands that are still moderately rumbly, but not quite as low-frequency like the Magic Wand Rechargeable.

If you want pure rumbles, the Lelo wand definitely delivers!

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer, but ultimately it’s just that – a preference.

The Doxy 3 USB-C is a buzzy wand vibrator, which I personally enjoy. But if you want rumbly settings, the Magic Wand Plus or Lovense Domi 2 are better options in this price range for you.

The Doxy 3 USB-C provides some of the highest-frequency vibrations of all my wands. It begins at 91 Hz, which is moderately buzzy, and finishes extremely buzzy at 127 Hz. These high-frequency vibrations remain more concentrated near the spot you’re pressing the wand than rumbly vibrations, helping you target a specific spot really well. But the vibrations don’t reach as far as rumbly vibes do.

I think the Doxy 3 USB-C’s combination of buzziness and power is just right for someone like me who enjoys buzzy vibes. The pricier Die Cast 3 and 3R are slightly more powerful and a bit less buzzy. As a result of their additional power, their vibrations feel overwhelming to me, and their slightly lower frequency vibrations are fatiguing when the head touches near my leg. But the Doxy 3 USB-C’s vibrations remain where I want them, and are at a comfortable intensity.

I also like leveraging my vibrators for extra firm pressure, and this is more comfortable to do with the USB-C’s buzzy vibrations because high-frequency vibrations don’t cause the wand to bump against my pubic bone (which can cause soreness) as some rumbly vibrators can.

As a fan of buzzy vibrations, I like this wand.

The Smart Wand 2 is decently comfortable and easy to use.

The head (and most of the wand) is coated in a comfortable, smooth silicone. But the head is fairly firm with only slight flexibility. This makes it easier to apply substantial pressure, but also detracts a small amount from comfort.

Since the head is large, it’s best for broad stimulation rather than precise placement. Its bulky head doesn’t fit easily into tight spaces. But since the vibrations are so rumbly, they spread throughout a broad area of your body near the point of contact. So pinpoint placement isn’t really necessary.

Compared to other full-sized wands, it’s a relatively light weight. So it’s easier to maneuver than heavy wands.

I find it easy to keep a firm grasp on the grippy handle. Its slender, curved shape provides several ways for you to comfortably grip the wand. But I feel the vibrations in the handle, which can be distracting if you’re sensitive to that.

The controls are easy to use, provide three separate buttons to increase power, decrease power, and cycle through vibration patterns. This is my favorite control system so that I don’t have to cycle through all the power levels to go back to a lower intensity. It’s quick and convenient for getting exactly what you want.

The Doxy 3 USB-C is very comfortable and easy to use.

It’s a light wand with a small head, making it easy to maneuver and great for more precise stimulation. The neck is rigid, so if you’re worried about a stiff wand bumping against your pubic bone uncomfortably, you may want something with more flexibility or a plush head like the Magic Wand Plus‘s. But the small head allows me to limit contact to softer areas of my body so it stays comfortable to me.

I tend to press it at around a 45-degree angle against my body, so the rounded portion of the Doxy 3 USB-C’s head is what contacts my vulva, and this is very comfortable. However, the sudden edge where the head ends could be uncomfortable if you typically angle your wand more sharply, pressing the side of the head against you. In this case, a more rounded head like the Lovense Domi’s (rumbly) or Le Wand Dive’s (buzzy) may be more comfortable.

The slim handle is comfortable to wrap your hand around, and the controls are excellent – allowing you to increase and decrease power separately. There are 8 steady vibration powers or a pulsing pattern if you press and hold the power button.

Until you become familiar with your grip on the wand, it can be easy to accidentally press one of the buttons since they take up a lot of space on the handle. But that’s become rare as I’ve used the wand more.

The vibrations in the handle are much less than the Die Cast 3R and 3. I can feel them when I’m just holding the wand, but I don’t find them distracting while using the Doxy 3 USB-C as I did with the Die Cast models. These other Doxy wands’ vibrations also feel more fatiguing – particularly in my leg. This is not the case with the Doxy 3 USB-C, so I enjoy using this wand much more than these older, more expensive versions.

The Large Lelo Smart Wand 2 provides strong, broad vibrations during sex. And I’d recommend it as long as you’re ok maneuvering a full-sized wand around.

The Smart Wand’s broad head requires you to be more conscious of how you angle your body in some positions than a small wand. For instance, in Cowgirl I need to lean slightly backward to open up more space to fit the Smart Wand’s head near my clit. In more open positions like Spooning you can easily position the head on your clit and leverage the Smart Wand 2.

For a full-sized wand it’s lightweight, so maneuvering it isn’t too difficult, but it’s still more tiring than small wands like the Lovense Domi 2. But with the Smart Wand 2’s length you can typically find a way to prop the wand on its handle to support the weight. For instance, in Doggystyle, I rest the base of the handle on the bed which keeps my arms from getting tired.

In some positions like Missionary, I prefer to hold the wand near the head to put less strain on my wrist. The Lelo Smart Wand’s handle is pretty thick here which is a bit awkward for my small hands. It’s minimal discomfort – and if you typically grip near the handle’s base (where it’s slimmer) or have larger hands this won’t be an issue.

The Doxy 3 USB-C is a good wand to use during sex!

I enjoy it most in the spooning or modified missionary positions. The small head fits easily into tight spaces, and the lightweight handle is easy to maneuver. So you can quickly make adjustments and keep the head in consistent contact with your body.

The cord does not get in the way in these positions since it’s resting on the bed, so there are minimal distractions.

I’ve noticed the cord pulls on the vibrator more often in the doggystyle and cowgirl positions since the cord is suspended in the air and the handle is so light. But you can still get great stimulation once you figure out how to position the cord.

Since the head is firm, it can be mildly uncomfortable if it gets pressed into your pubic bone during tight sex positions. It’s not as cushioned as plush heads like the Magic Wands‘. But since the head is small, this doesn’t happen frequently like it can with larger heads.

In doggystyle, the handle is long enough to rest against the bed if you want to support its weight. But the hand vibrations in the handle become more noticeable if you do this. The light weight makes it easy enough to hold up and leverage in this position anyway, even for longer periods. And this method provides the best stimulation.

The Smart Wand 2 Large is a reasonably discreet wand. We test whether my partner can hear each wand standing directly on the other side of the closed door while I use the wand in the bedroom.

He cannot hear the middle or lower power levels. But he can hear the upper powers. This is pretty typical for a wand with this much vibration strength. But if you turn on a box fan or music in the bedroom, it completely masks the sound of the Smart Wand 2 Large even on high power.

It’s vibrations are also very low-frequency which tends to be less noticeable – they sound more like background noise than buzzy vibrators. So this is a good option if you live with others and need to remain discreet.

NOTE: This product has gotten louder over time. We’re unsure if it’s due to the wear and tear we put on the product in our unique testing and storage habits. The Noise Test Results currently represented for this product are based on our original testing when the product was new, since this is what you would receive upon ordering.

The Doxy 3 USB-C is noisy, which is not surprising considering its strength.

When we tested its audibility in a silent house, my partner could just barely hear it from the other side of our closed bedroom door on the low and middle strengths. But it was definitely audible to him on high power.

From inside the room, I don’t find the sound of the vibrations distracting. The pricier metal versions have a really grating sound to them which I find incredibly distracting (listen below). But the Doxy 3 USB-C’s vibrations sound much cleaner, quieter, and don’t bother me at all (listen above).

If you have housemates and need to be discreet, the Doxy 3 USB-C’s noise is easily drowned out by a box fan or music in the bedroom. Otherwise, the Le Wand Dive is quieter, and my favorite buzzy wand.

Since the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large has a head similar in size to other well-known brands like Magic Wand, it’s compatible with a broad variety of wand attachments. You can find a compatible attachment for nearly any type of stimulation including G-spot, anal, prostate, penis, clitoral, and dual-stimulation.

For the most part all the wand attachments we’ve tested that work with the Magic Wands also work with the Large Lelo Smart Wand 2. We’ve only encountered one so far that fit the Magic Wand, and was a bit loose on the Smart Wand – but even this attachment (which is actually designed for the Bodywand) was still useable.

The Doxy 3 USB-C has great compatibility with attachments. Doxy has their own line of attachments, which screw right onto the head. Several non-Doxy attachments also fit over the head, including the Le Wand Petite attachments.

You can find attachments offering a wide variety of stimulation that are compatible with this wand, even though it has a smaller head. For more specifics, you can check our wand attachment compatibility table here.

I test my wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts for hands-free play.

The Lelo Wand works perfectly with the Axis mount! With this wedge-shaped mount, I lie on my stomach across the Axis as it holds the wand slightly upward between my legs.

This wand has 2 major aspects that give it an exceptional fit with the Axis: an upward curve, and a broad head.

The upward curve positions the Smart Wand’s head closer to my clit than straight wands. So it easily stays in contact with my clit and provides good pressure. I don’t need to focus on keeping my body in contact with the wand – I can just lie on the mount and enjoy the vibrations.

And the large round head provides a broad surface that disperses the pressure comfortably along my vulva. And its size helps it maintain good contact with my clit in addition to the upward curve.

It stays firmly in place, so I don’t have to worry about it shifting around.

This wand works well with the Wanda mount too. This mount holds the wand upright, as you straddle the mount. The Lelo Smart Wand’s head rests at a comfortable height to kneel over. Or you can lean forward onto your hands and knees. But it sits too high to comfortably lower your weight onto the wand and grind as you can with some smaller wands.

The smooth head provides a great, broad surface for even, comfortable pressure in that kneeling position or on your hands and knees.

I test my wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts for hands-free stimulation.

The Doxy 3 USB-C does not work well with the Axis but is excellent with the Wanda mount.

In the Axis, the head is too small to stimulate well, and it’s not angled upward enough, so it’s difficult to get good pressure on your clit. Wands with a larger head like the Magic Wand Plus or angled head like the BMS PalmPower Extreme, work better in the Liberator Axis.

In the Liberator Wanda, the Doxy 3 USB-C is positioned at a great height to kneel above during penetration from behind. It provides excellent, comfortable contact so you can enjoy the vibes hands-free.

You can also sit down on the mount for hands-free stimulation. This position is only possible with handles that aren’t too long, like the Doxy 3 USB-C’s, and it’s a great setup for solo hands-free fun.

During our testing the Large Lelo Smart Wand 2 lasted over 105 minutes running continuously on its highest power – over an hour and a half. And you can play even longer if you often use some of the lower powers.

You can definitely find some that last longer, but I’ve found this is plenty for me!

The Doxy 3 USB-C is a plug-in wand with a 9.5-foot cord. You don’t have to worry about keeping this wand charged, but you do have to be near an outlet to play, so it’s not as mobile-friendly as rechargeable wands.

The USB-C cable is not as common as a typical USB. If you don’t already have a USB-C to wall outlet adapter, you’ll need to purchase a 5V/3A USB-C plug adapter to use this wand.

The Lelo Smart Wand 2 is cased in smooth silicone with a shiny plastic section at the base of the handle. The materials and overall feel of the handle are luxurious and sturdy.

This wand has an odd design for the connection between the head and neck, that feels like the head’s floating on the neck. It feels somewhat loose and makes me a little nervous about the longevity. But so far, it has not caused any issues or broken. I will update if that ever happens.

The Doxy 3 USB-C has good build quality.

The lightweight ABS Plastic handle is not as luxurious-feeling as metal or silicone-coated wands. But it still feels solid and well-built. And the threaded part of the removable head is still made of metal for durability.

The cord attaches securely and has a knitted coating for protection. The buttons can be a little unresponsive sometimes if you don’t push them firmly, but it just takes some getting used to.

Doxy also has a 2-year warranty when you register your wand for free on their site.
