Vibrations: Power And Range

Power vs Frequency Graph
How Strong Is Each Power? 

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 Le Wand Plug-In has a good top strength of 6.7 out of 10 on our scale—but its power range is limited. All 10 levels fall in a moderate-to-strong range and are close together. There are no gentle warmup levels or extremely powerful settings that many full-sized wands have.

This could work if you only want moderate to strong settings. But for anyone who wants more nuance—a gradual build or extreme strength—it falls short. For example, the Magic Wand Plus starts gentler and ends stronger, with 34% more strength. The BMS PalmPower Extreme also offers gradual adjustability from very soft to extremely intense.

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. However, this is an area of personal preference, so consider what you like.

The Le Wand Plug-In has average rumbliness – the first several settings provide rumbly vibrations at a moderate strength. Settings on the higher end feel neutral or buzzy. This covers a wide range of frequencies and can be good, especially if you want rumbly, neutral, and buzzy settings.

However, in this price range, there are better wands that span similar frequency ranges to the Le Wand Plug-In. For instance, the Magic Wand Plus and PalmPower Extreme cover a similar range with more power and better overall performance.

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 Le Wand Plug-In is easy to use and has average comfort for a large wand.

You can easily reach the exact setting you want because of the excellent controls. You can increase and decrease strength, and adjust the intensity of each vibration pattern, too.

The thick, heavy handle can be tiring to hold and slower to maneuver. I find it easier to use two hands most of the time. While it’s not as nimble to move around, the weight adds excellent natural pressure. The head is pretty comfortable for how large and firm it is. It’s best if you prefer broad contact and tend to keep your wand in the same place. It’s not for you if you like more precise contact and want something smaller to move around more easily, like the Le Wand Dive.

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.


Use During Sex

Doggystyle 8.3 7.0
Modified Missionary 8.5 7.0
Cowgirl 6.5 6.0

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 Le Wand Plug-In is sub-par during sex, mainly due to its large size, heavy weight, and firm, full-sized head.

In spooning, the wand’s bulk makes it tiring to hold. It’s best to shift your top leg back so that the vibrations don’t fatigue your leg.

In doggystyle, you can rest the base of the handle on the bed to help support the weight. But getting the bulky rounded head to hit where I want is tough. I have trouble getting good contact in modified missionary, too. In cowgirl, you’ll likely need to lean back to provide enough space for the wand to stimulate well. It’s heavy, so I prefer to let the weight rest against me.

The vibrations travel pretty well, but wands with smaller heads like the PalmPower Extreme or Le Wand Dive are better if direct, consistent contact is important.

If your partner moves aggressively in any of these positions, the firm head can also press into you uncomfortably, in which case the Magic Wand Plus’s plush head is better.

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 Le Wand Plug-In is not discreet. When we tested it, my partner could hear it on every setting from behind our closed bedroom door.

It’s so big that it’s hard to prevent it from hitting the covers, which makes extra sound. And without the covers, there’s no dampening of the sound. You can mask the noise with a box fan or music. But if you want something more discreet, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is both stronger and quieter.

Stimulation Variety 10.0 10.0

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 Le Wand Plug-In has fantastic compatibility with attachments. Most attachments are designed for full-sized heads like this, so you have a ton of variety. Le Wand also makes several of their own attachments specifically designed for this wand. See our wand attachment compatibility table here for the full list of attachments that fit this wand.

Compatibility with Wanda 8.0 8.0

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.

We test our wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. The Le Wand Plug-In works well with both.

The Axis holds your wand at an angle while you lie across the mount on your stomach. The Le Wand Plug-In provides great pressure and contact in this mount since the head is so big – it reaches your clit easily and provides lots of comfortable surface area to press against.

The Wanda holds the wand up while you straddle the mount on your knees. Some smaller wands allow you to sit directly on top of the mount, but the Le Wand Plug-In is too tall for this. Instead, you’ll need to kneel above it for hands-free solo play or with a partner behind you. The broad head is very comfortable to press against for even pressure and consistent contact.

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 Le Wand Plug-In is corded, so you’ll need to play near an outlet, but you don’t have to worry about charging it between uses.

The power cord is 8 feet long, giving you some flexibility, and comes with 4 adapters for US, AUS, EU, and UK outlets.


Build Quality


Build Quality Rating 7.5 9.0

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 Le Wand Plug-In has good build quality.

The plastic handle feels well-constructed and sturdy (not somewhat thin like the Le Wand Petite’s). The neck is thick, and I’m not worried about applying firm pressure. The buttons and firm head aren’t quite as comfortable as the competing Magic Wands‘ plush heads. But overall, it seems sturdy.
