Compare Wand Vibrators
The BMS PalmPower Recharge underperforms compared to other mini wand vibrators in its price range. The PalmPower Recharge’s main selling feature is its intense power in a compact size. Unfortunately, the power fluctuates and drops randomly. If you were interested in the PalmPower Recharge for its strength, the Lovense Domi 2 is similarly small, even more powerful, and has a much better build quality. In the PalmPower Recharge’s price range, the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand (equally powerful) or Magic Wand Mini (less powerful, but more rumbly) are better mini wands.

It’s lightweight and compact so it’s easy to maneuver. And the Lovense app is the best of any app-controlled brand we’ve tried. |

Some will love it – others will prefer moderate rumbliness. I recommend buying through Lovehoney so you can return if it’s too rumbly for you. |

Satisfyer Wand-er Woman | 7.1 | 7.5 | 7.6 | 8.5 | 6.6 | 6.7 | 6.3 | 9.3 | 6.0 | 4.5 | 7.0 | 57 | Extremely Rumbly | IPX7 | The most affordable full-sized wand with good performance for the price. Excellent rumbly vibrations, but the firm head and thick handle are less comfortable than other wands. |
| 30 | ||
Doxy Die Cast 3R | 6.9 | 8.2 | 5.0 | 6.3 | 6.0 | 7.9 | 5.6 | 6.8 | 7.9 | 7.5 | 9.0 | 92 | Moderately Buzzy | No Rating | Very powerful and buzzy with no gentler warmup settings.

Its weak buzzy vibrations make other bullets like the Lovense Ambi or We-Vibe Tango X better options for most people. | 37 | |||

Build Quality
Build Quality Rating:
2.0
What is it:
Our perception of the wand vibrator’s durability and material quality; whether it feels cheap or sturdy and long-lasting. If we noticed any decline in a wand’s performance over our months of testing, it is accounted for in its Build Quality rating.
When does it matter:
When you want a wand vibrator to last for years. Many wand vibrator manufacturers provide a warranty (usually 1 to 2 years), but a higher quality wand vibrator is more likely to endure after your warranty is expired.
Scoring Factors:
Subjectively Scored
Show All Scores (Click to See):
The BMS PalmPower Recharge’s poor build quality is the main dealbreaker for me.
The motor fluctuates between power levels, rather than remaining at the intensity I set. The fact that it drops from 100% power to 20%, then jumps back to 40% makes it very distracting to use. And it sometimes causes me to lose my orgasm.
I noticed this issue with the first PalmPower Rechargeable I bought, so I purchased a second one to review in case it was a fluke. Unfortunately, I encountered the same issue with the replacement.

Max Power Rating

Power Range Rating:
8.1
What is it:
How wide the range is between the highest and lowest power levels, and whether it has enough power levels that steps between levels aren’t too large.
When does it matter:
A broad power range is usually important because it enables more versatile stimulation. You can start on softer levels when your body isn’t ready for crazy strong power. But when you want more strength, you can turn it up high.

Power vs Frequency Graph:
What is it:
A graph of each wand vibrator’s power vs frequency across all of its power levels.
When does it matter:
If you want a detailed look at the full power and frequency characteristics of any particular wand vibrator. This will tell you how strong and how rumbly each setting of the wand feels.
How Strong Is Each Power?
- Power ≤ 3: Comparable to the vibration strength of smaller vibrators like bullets.
- Power between 3 and 4.5: Comparable to …
(Expand Descriptions)
- Power ≤ 3: Comparable to the vibration strength of smaller vibrators like bullets.
- Power between 3 and 4.5: Comparable to the vibration strength of mid-sized, non-wand vibrators like the Lelo Mona 2, Lovense Hyphy, Lovense Lush 3, We-Vibe Nova 2, etc.
- Power between 4.5 and 7: Slightly to moderately more powerful than mid-sized, non-wand vibrators like those mentioned above.
- Power ≥ 7: Substantially stronger than other kinds of vibrators. These levels feel extremely powerful.
The Vibration Power scale is defined with a 10.0 given to the most powerful wand vibrator’s highest strength (Currently the Doxy Die Cast). So a vibration power of 8.0 feels 80% as strong as the Doxy Die Cast. A 5.0 feels 50% as strong, and so on.
When the PalmPower Recharge is working properly (see the issues I encountered here), it has excellent vibration power and range – especially for a wand this small.
It has soft low levels that are great when warming up. Then you press and hold the button to gradually increase power.
The PalmPower Recharge’s top power feels 70% as strong as the Doxy Die Cast’s (my strongest wand vibrator). That’s really impressive given how much smaller and lighter the PalmPower is – the Doxy is nearly 5x heavier.
Unfortunately, it frequently drops back down to a lower power level. So in practical use, it doesn’t always maintain that top strength.
At the same cost, you can get the FemmeFun Ultra Wand, which is similar in size (though has a slightly larger head), and reaches the same top strength of 7/10. The downside is that it starts somewhat strong even on the lowest power level. So if you need some soft warmup levels too, you may consider the Magic Wand Mini instead.
Or if you’re up for a larger wand, the Magic Wand Plus is also about the same price. And it has an even wider power range. It’s the most powerful wand under $100.
While I’m happy with the BMS PalmPower Recharge’s vibration strength when it’s working well – these other wands have provided a much more reliable experience.

Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
Rumbliness Rating:
7.7
What is it:
How “rumbly” (low frequency) or “buzzy” (high frequency) a wand vibrator feels at each of its power levels. And whether a wand can deliver strong vibrations while remaining reasonably rumbly. Higher scores indicate a “more rumbly” (lower-frequency) wand, since the majority of people prefer rumbliness. But ultimately vibration frequency is a personal preference.
When does it matter:
If you prefer vibrations in a specific area along the rumbly-to-buzzy spectrum.

A graph of each wand vibrator’s power vs frequency across all of its power levels.

If you want a detailed look at the full power and frequency characteristics of any particular wand vibrator. This will tell you how strong and how rumbly each setting of the wand feels.
Frequency on Low Power:
42 Hz
(Extremely Rumbly)
Median Frequency:
60 Hz
(Extremely Rumbly)
What is it:
What part of the frequency spectrum a wand vibrator’s power levels are centered around. It’s the vibration frequency of the wand’s middle power level (the average of the two middle levels if there is an even number of settings).
When does it matter:
If you prefer vibrations in a particular part of the frequency spectrum. This is a fast way to see whether one wand’s vibration levels are generally more rumbly or buzzy than another wand’s vibration settings. Since most people prefer rumbly toys, a higher performance score implies a lower-frequency (more rumbly) wand.

Ave Power Per Frequency:

What is it:
A measure that rewards wand vibrators that remain rumbly (low-frequency) while packing good vibration strength. Calculated for a wand using the normalized power / normalized frequency at each power level and taking the median.
When does it matter:
If you want a wand with a good balance of power and rumbliness.
