Lelo Smart Wand 2 - Large vs Magic Wand Rechargeable Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large and Magic Wand Rechargeable are both excellent, rumbly, full-sized wands, but they excel in different areas. The Magic Wand Rechargeable is more well-rounded with a wider power range, longer battery life, and a more comfortable plush head, making it the better choice for most people. The Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large is a more specialized wand, great for those who prioritize the deepest, lowest-frequency vibrations above everything else.
The main difference is the feel of the vibrations. The Lelo is one of the most rumbly wands we’ve ever tested—its vibrations are so deep and low-frequency that they feel unlike other wands – some people love this feeling and others actually find it too rumbly. The Magic Wand is also very rumbly, but in a more traditional way that feels more targeted and impactful to me. On high power the Magic Wand reaches a neutral feel, which has an extra kick at the surface which I enjoy.
The Magic Wand Rechargeable is also 21% more powerful on high and has an exceptionally plush, squishy head that is more comfortable than the Lelo’s firmer head.
The Lelo is IPX7 waterproof so it’s usable in the tub or shower, whereas the Magic Wand is not. But I prefer the Magic Wand’s wider power range even with its lack of a waterproof rating.
Choose the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large if you want the most unique and rumbly vibrations available. For more power, better comfort, and a more traditional rumbly feel, the Magic Wand Rechargeable is the better and more affordable choice.

Vibrations: Power And Range
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.
Though the Magic Wand Rechargeable has about 85% of the power of its corded version, it’s still one of the strongest wands in my collection, with a top power of 7.67 out of 10.
With four power levels, the lowest setting starts at 1.75 out of 10, providing an enjoyable warm-up without overwhelming. The second level is slightly stronger than my favorite non-wand vibrators, and the third is substantially more powerful – I usually finish on the second setting, but occasionally want the extra oomph of the third level (often over my clothes)!
I can rarely use the top strength because it’s too intense for me but is excellent if you crave immense power. It’s also worth noting that you can use the Magic Wand Rechargeable while it’s plugged in, but doing so does not increase the strength.
Together, these four settings provide a wide range to enjoy. If you typically prefer gentle stimulation, you might consider the Magic Wand Mini instead (the even smaller Magic Wand Micro is more comparable to a bullet vibrator and too weak for those expecting the strength of a wand). But the Rechargeable is best for those who enjoy moderate to extreme strength.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
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 wands with rumbly vibrations higher than those with buzzy vibrations since most people prefer rumbliness. The Magic Wand Rechargeable is one of the most rumbly wands I’ve tested – much rumblier than the Magic Wand Waterproof. While a few wands are more rumbly, they underperform in other aspects.
Three of its four power levels are in the rumbly range, with the first two feeling extremely rumbly! I love these vibrations because they travel deeper into my body without being overwhelming or ticklish, unlike buzzy ones.
Since I typically only use the first three power levels, most of my experiences with the Magic Wand Rechargeable are rumbly. Though if you expect you’ll need the extreme power of the fourth level, the vibrations start to feel more neutral.
Personally, I don’t mind an occasional neutral-feeling vibration. And overall, this wand delivers high-quality rumbly vibrations at an impressive strength.
Comfort & Ease of Use
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 Magic Wand Rechargeable is a larger wand, so it takes a bit more effort to maneuver or leverage than smaller, lighter toys. But overall, it’s very comfortable and easy to use.
The plush silicone head is softer than other wands, making it comfortable when pressed firmly against your body. And the neck is flexible, but solid so I can apply considerable pressure without worry. The wide head is great for broad, diffuse pressure. And rather than the round head many wands have, this wand’s head is cylindrical, creating a lip at the top that I can use for more direct pressure and focused stimulation.
Vibrations only transfer minimally through the handle, primarily on the lower power levels. But since the vibrations are rumbly, I don’t find it uncomfortable or distracting as I do with buzzy wands like the Doxy 3R. On high strengths, the Magic Wand’s handle does an excellent job of dampening the hand vibrations.
The Rechargeable’s controls differ from the Magic Wand Plus’s, since the cordless version offers vibration patterns. One button cycles through four steady power levels, and a separate button cycles through its four patterns. While I prefer a setup with separate buttons to increase and decrease power, it’s not a big deal since there are only 4 power levels to cycle through.
The button placement is good – I don’t accidentally press the buttons. And it’s easy to feel them, so I can make adjustments without looking or disrupting the stimulation.
And since this wand is rechargeable, you won’t have to deal with cords getting in the way – part of why I use it more than the Magic Wand Plus.
Use During Sex
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 Magic Wand Rechargeable is my favorite full-sized wand to use during sex, and I enjoy it in a wide range of positions.
It’s a long wand with a large head, and it’s on the heavier side – all traits you don’t expect to make a great wand for sex. But the rumbly, powerful vibrations and plush, cylindrical head make it work very well.
With my weaker vibrators, I spend more time precisely positioning the toy and leveraging it to get the pressure just right. But since the Magic Wand Rechargeable is extremely powerful and rumbly, I don’t need to place the head in an exact spot with tons of pressure, so its large head isn’t an issue. Its length also makes it easier to use in positions like Doggystyle where I can rest the base against the bed so my arm doesn’t get tired.
The silicone head’s plushness keeps it comfortable, even in movement-heavy positions like Cowgirl. Whereas firm wands like the Satisfyer Wand-er Woman press uncomfortably into my pubic bone in this position.
The cylindrical head’s lip provides a smaller surface to get the more focused stimulation you could with a small wand too. This lip also fits into tight spaces where a large wand’s full head doesn’t. And in more open positions like Spooning, I can use the flat surface for diffuse, broad stimulation.
Being cordless, you can move around more freely with the Magic Wand Rechargeable too.
Noise
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 Magic Wand Rechargeable has lower noise levels compared to most other wands with similar power.
For many comparable wands, I can only use the first setting without the vibrations becoming audible. During our tests, my partner couldn’t hear the first two levels from behind a closed bedroom door. And that second power is typically where I finish.
Many will be able to orgasm on these discreet levels. The two extremely powerful top settings were audible in our quiet house, but when I turned on a box fan or played music, my partner couldn’t hear the wand anymore, even on high power. The Rechargeable is also much quieter than the Magic Wand Waterproof – another reason I like the Rechargeable more.
The Rechargeable is a good option if you want strong power and need to remain discreet.
Attachment Compatibility
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.
Magic Wand is the leading brand of wand vibrators. So most wand attachments are designed to fit its head. This wand, and similarly-sized wands, have the best compatibility with attachments.
You can find a compatible attachment for many kinds of stimulation including G-spot, prostate, anal, penis, clitoral, and dual-stimulation. And you have a variety of each type to choose from. To see which attachments we’ve tested with the Magic Wand Rechargeable, see our wand attachment compatibility table.
Mount Compatibility
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’ve tested the Magic Wand Rechargeable with both the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts for hands-free play, and it performs well with each.
The Axis positions the wand at a slight upward angle from horizontal. When lying on your stomach on the Axis, the side of the wand’s head rests on your clit.
The wand’s tall, broad head provides plenty of surface area for easy clitoral contact without needing to be deliberate about positioning my body as I do with small wands. The plush texture of the head makes it comfortable to press against, and the full-sized handle keeps it secured in the mount.
With the Wanda mount, the Magic Wand Rechargeable is held upright at a slight tilt. Shorter wands enable you to fully lower your weight onto the mount and rock back and forth to vary stimulation. But due to its full-sized design, this wand’s head sits too high for that.
Instead, it’s best to rest on your hands and knees. In this Doggystyle position, the wand’s head aligns well with my clit. Or you can straddle the mount on your knees, but you’ll need to keep your body elevated. In either position, the Magic Wand Rechargeable’s broad, plush head maintains good contact with my clit and provides excellent stimulation.
Battery Life
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 Magic Wand Rechargeable has one of the longest battery lives of any rechargeable wand I’ve tested. It lasted over 4 hours continuously running on its maximum power during our tests.
This is ideal for someone like me, who forgets to charge their wand between uses. Even better, you can use the Magic Wand Rechargeable while it’s plugged in, so you never have to wait for its battery to charge. Note, this feature is not possible with the Magic Wand Waterproof. Only a couple other wands, like the Maia Nala and Le Wand Rechargeable, have this feature, but the Magic Wand Rechargeable is better overall than these wands.
Build Quality
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 Magic Wand Rechargeable is well-built and feels sturdy. I can apply firm pressure without feeling like I may damage the wand’s neck. Its head is a plush silicone which makes it very comfortable and body-safe: it is non-porous and can be completely sanitized. The older model (the Magic Wand Original) had a porous vinyl head which can harbor bacteria – this is one of many reasons I recommend the Magic Wand Rechargeable and Plus over the Magic Wand Original.
The handle is a solid plastic and the buttons are well-placed and made of a comfortable, grippy silicone. All around, a quality toy.
General Design And Specs
The Magic Wand Rechargeable does not have a waterproof rating, and should only be cleaned with a damp cloth, taking care not to expose electronic components to water. There is a Waterproof version of the Magic Wand if that’s a priority for you. However, the Magic Wand Waterproof underperforms in some areas – it’s much louder and buzzier, at a much higher price. If waterproof play is not a top priority, the Magic Wand Rechargeable is a better fit for most.
