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 Lovehoney Mantric is best if you like the size, shape, and broad stimulation that wand vibrators provide, but you prefer mild to moderate vibration strength.

It starts out gentle and gradually builds power. The 5 intensity levels are enough that there are no large leaps and it covers a good range with both low and moderate power levels.

Though the Mantric wand’s full strength is less than half the power of my strongest wand vibrator (the Doxy Die Cast), it’s still more powerful than my non-wand vibrators like bullets, rabbits, and G-spot vibes.

I still orgasm easily with the Mantric wand. 

It’s just not engulfing me with sheer power as full-sized wand vibrators do. It fills a unique niche of having comparable power to smaller vibrators while providing a longer handle for easier maneuvering and a broader head to spread the vibrations. 

So if you enjoy mid-strength and want broader stimulation, the Mantric can be a good choice.

If you enjoy wands for their extreme power, the larger Magic Wand Plus has exceptional strength in a similar price range. Or for intense power in a compact size, the Lovense Domi 2 is one of my favorites. 

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!

A higher performance score in this category reflects a “more rumbly” wand – not necessarily a better or worse wand vibrator.

We rate more rumbly wands higher because a rumbly feel is what most people enjoy. However, the choice between buzzy or rumbly vibrations is a personal preference. And I actually really love a buzzy vibe from time to time.

The Mantric’s first two power levels are extremely rumbly. Then the next level is moderately rumbly. And its two highest powers are neutral – or a mix between rumbly and buzzy.

If you prefer deep rumbly vibrations, then the Mantric wand is probably not the best option for you. Since this is a mid-powered wand, you’ll likely use its highest powers often. And you won’t get that low-frequency, rumbly feel from its top levels.

The Lovense Domi is a similarly-sized wand that is much more rumbly (and stronger too). 90% of the Domi’s intensity levels fall within the “extremely rumbly” range.

If you prefer toys with a mixed feel – not too far on either the rumbly or buzzy side – you’ll enjoy the Mantric wand vibrator.

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 Mantric wand vibrator is one of the most comfortable and easy-to-use wands I own. 

The slim handle is very comfortable to hold. And the gentle curve helps you easily leverage the wand to press the vibes firmly to your body. 

The head has a smaller circumference, which is great for more direct/focused stimulation than you can get with larger wands. But you can still press the side of the Mantric’s head to your body for broader vibrations. 

The head is not squishy, but the neck has a slight flex to it, which makes it very comfortable without making it more difficult to apply pressure.

The main reason it does not score even higher is that I don’t love the Mantric’s buttons. 

To achieve a more sleek look, the three buttons are gently raised bumps along the silicone handle, almost blending in with the wand. I find this design makes it more difficult to press the buttons without looking, and I occasionally press them accidentally if I’m not conscious of my grip on the wand. 

More importantly, the middle button is not always responsive if I don’t apply the right pressure. Though once you get used to the feel, it’s not much of an issue.

If you want no distractions or a learning curve, I find the Magic Wand Mini is another comfortable alternative with a similar size and weight. But the buttons are a little easier to feel, and I don’t find myself pressing them by accident.

But the Magic Wand Mini is not waterproof or splashproof. So if that’s your goal, try the FemmeFun Ultra Wand or stick with the Mantric!

The Mantric wand is waterproof, so it’s easy to clean. And this also means you can take it into the tub or shower with you. 

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.

This wand is pretty convenient to use during sex. The smaller size and curved handle make it more easily maneuverable than larger wands.

I especially enjoy the Mantric in the spooning position. With the curved handle and open space spooning provides, I can easily leverage the Mantric and press the vibes to my vulva with excellent pressure.

And it works well in a modified missionary and cowgirl position too. The smaller circumference, but the reasonably tall height of the Mantric’s head allow you to fit the wand in tighter spaces and adjust how much surface area is in contact with your body. A definite advantage over big, full-sized wands like the Doxy Die Cast.

The only position I actually prefer a bigger wand than the Mantric is in Doggystyle. The main issue in this position is that you have to hold the toy up, and gravity is working against you. So I find taller wand vibrators are less tiring because I can rest the base of the handle on the bed to prop it up. 

Even so, the Mantric is lightweight enough that it’s reasonably easy to use in Doggystyle – I still rated it a 7.5.

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.

If you live with other people and need a quiet wand, the Mantric is an excellent choice. It’s one of the absolute quietest wand vibrators we tested even with its moderate power.

When we measured its noise with a sound level meter, it was one of the quietest wands on both low and high power. 

We also test whether my partner can hear the wand on the other side of our closed bedroom door. And he could not hear the Mantric wand on any of its power levels.

Whether loud sounds distract you or you live with others and need to remain discreet, the Mantric is an extremely quiet wand vibrator. 

If you value discretion but prefer the stronger vibrations of larger wand vibrators, the Viben Sultry can also be a good choice. It has excellent power and my partner could not hear it behind a closed door either.

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.

This Mantric wand has some compatibility with attachments, though much less than full-sized wand vibrators since most attachments are designed for large wands.

Of the 25 attachments I own, only 3 fit the Lovehoney Mantric wand: the Wand Essentials – Vibra Cup Penis Masturbator, Domi Male Attachment, and Domi Female Attachment.

However, these three attachments cover a broad range of stimulation. The Domi attachments alone can be used internally for G-spot or anal stimulation, to change the texture of clit stimulation, or for penis stimulation.

So your choices between attachments are more limited. But the compatible attachments still cover a decent variety.

If you value compatibility with a wide range of attachments, a full-sized wand would be best. The Magic Wand Plus, Magic Wand Rechargeable, and Doxy Die Cast all have excellent compatibility with attachments and perform well in other aspects too.

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 found the Mantric Wand very compatible with wand mounts for hands-free play. In fact, I rated it the second highest of all my wand vibrators! Outranked only by one of my personal favorites – the BMS PalmPower Extreme Ultrapowerful.

I use two different mounts – Liberator’s Axis and Wanda. The Axis is geared more toward couples’ play. And the Wanda is my favorite for solo play. Though both mounts can be used alone or with a partner.

The Mantric Wand is the perfect height for the Wanda – the Mantric’s head rests in the perfect position just outside the mount. And I can vary the stimulation by facing the Mantric’s curve toward the front or back of the mount.

I can also straddle the Mantric in the Wanda Mount with plenty of space for my partner to kneel behind me during sex.

The Mantric wand works great with the Axis mount too. It fits securely in the Axis’ wand slot. And the Mantric’s curve makes it hit my clit easily while lying on top of the Axis mount. 

The only wand I enjoy more in the Axis is the BMS PalmPower Extreme. This one also has a curve, but the head is larger. The bigger head allows me to get even more firm pressure. It’s also more powerful if you enjoy extreme vibration strength. 

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 Mantric Wand has a higher-than-average battery life. 

Running continuously on its highest power, it lasted over 2 hours in our testing. And in practical use, you can stretch this out longer by also using some of the lower and middle power levels during your play.

If you expect you’ll need more than 2 hours (or if you’re like me and love to fit several play-sessions between charges), then you may consider the Magic Wand Rechargeable, which lasts over 4 hours!

And of course, plug-in wands like the Magic Wand Plus and Doxy Die Cast never need to be charged.

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.

This wand feels sturdy and the silicone is high-quality. So it feels nice in the hand and I’m not worried about it breaking with firm pressure. I do find that the power button can sometimes not be responsive though, and I have to press several times to get it to work.
