The Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium underperforms compared to similarly-priced and cheaper wand vibrators. The Large Smart Wand 2 is also much better. Unless you exclusively need very gentle vibrations, there are better options. And at the Smart Wand’s premium price point, you can afford nearly any of our top-performing wands instead.
See all our recommendations for the best wand vibrators, the best mini wand vibrators, and the best cordless wand vibrators.
Vibrations: Power And Range
The Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium is one of the least powerful wands I own. Its vibrations are gentle from start to finish. I can orgasm with it, but it takes time and effort.
I have bullet vibrators that are stronger than this wand. If all you want is the strength of a bullet, I would recommend something less expensive like the Lovense Ambi, or the We-Vibe Tango X if you prefer more rumbly vibrations. Or if you want something with a bit more length and a handle to grip, consider the Lelo Mona 2 or Lovense Hyphy.
But if you want the strength that wands are famous for, then there are several stronger, cheaper wands. Consider the Lovense Domi or BMS PalmPower Extreme for powerful mid-sized wands. Or the Magic Wand Plus for a full-sized wand.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
Frequency on Low Power: 31 Hz (Extremely Rumbly)
Median Frequency: 47 Hz (Extremely Rumbly)
Frequency on High Power: 59 Hz (Extremely Rumbly)
This wand’s vibrations are rumbly (low-frequency) rather than buzzy (high-frequency). And typically, rumbly vibrations are what people prefer.
However, the Smart Wand 2 Medium’s vibrations are so low-powered, that they still have little impact on me even with their rumbliness. But there are many wands that have more power with the same amount of rumbliness, and our rumbliness rating takes this into account.
Some of these include the Lovense Domi 2, We-Vibe Wand 2, and the full-sized Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large – each is a powerful, rumbly wand.
Comfort & Ease of Use
Waterproof Rating: IPX7
The Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium is a comfortable and easy-to-use wand. Its thin, curved handle is comfortable to hold and easy to maneuver.
The smaller head has a tiny bit of flex in the neck, which is perfect for comfy, yet firm pressure. And the buttons let you increase and decrease power to get the right stimulation level. You don’t need to cycle through power levels.
But if you’re going to buy a wand at this price, you can find more better options that are just as comfortable. The Magic Wand Mini is an excellent option that’s a similar size, has stronger vibrations, is just as comfortable – and is much cheaper.
The Dame Com is another mid-sized wand massager with a curved handle that’s helpful for applying firm pressure. But I enjoy its vibrations more.
Use During Sex
This wand’s size and curved shape are fairly convenient during sex, but the stimulation is too low to be truly enjoyable.
If you want any sort of stimulation from these low-powered vibes, you have to apply the pressure more directly to your clit than is usual for a wand. And even though the head is not large – it’s not as small as my bullets. So I have a more difficult time getting good clitoral contact during sex, between our bodies.
I recommend either using a smaller vibrator like the We-Vibe Tango X or Lovense Hyphy.
Or if you prefer a wand massager, you can just get something stronger. This way, you don’t need contact with your clit to be as direct to feel the vibes. I enjoy plenty of other wands during sex.
The BMS PalmPower Extreme and Lovense Domi are two of my favorites.
Noise
Decibels on Low Power: 35 dB
Decibels on High Power: 46.0 dB
Low Power: Inaudible
Middle Power: Inaudible
High Power: Inaudible
High Power with Box Fan: Inaudible
High Power with Music: Inaudible
The Lelo Smart Wand 2 (Medium) is definitely one of the quietest wands I own. But it’s not hard to be this quiet with such low power. There are many stronger wands that also remain discreet.
The We-Vibe Wand 2 for instance is a compact option that’s about 5x stronger and very discreet. My partner can’t hear any of its power levels on the other side of the closed bedroom door.
Attachment Compatibility
The Smart Wand Medium has limited compatibility with wand attachments.
Its head is close enough in size to the Lovense Domi’s that the attachments designed for it also fit the Smart Wand. These cover a decent range of stimulation (G-spot, anal, prostate, penis, clitoral texture). But you don’t have many options beyond these attachments.
If attachment compatibility is important to you, a full-sized wand is a better option. Most attachments are designed for the Magic Wand Rechargeable and Plus (or comparably-sized wands).
Mount Compatibility
I test my wands’ mount compatibility with my two Liberator mounts – the Axis and Wanda. These hold your wand for you so you can enjoy hands-free stimulation.
The Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium fits well with the Wanda mount. This mount holds the wand in a slightly angled upright position. Then you straddle the mount for hands-free vibes. With the Smart Wand Medium’s more compact size, its head is positioned at just the right height. You can easily lower your weight onto it – whereas full-sized wands can stick up too high in the Wanda.
It doesn’t work as well in the Liberator Axis. With this mount, you lie on your stomach and the Axis holds your wand to the side at a slight upward angle. In this position, the Smart Wand’s smaller size hurts it. It doesn’t reach my clit as easily as larger wands and I have to focus on keeping my body in just the right position.
With mounts, I prefer wand vibrator’s with larger heads. The BMS PalmPower Extreme and Dame Com are my two favorites to use with both mounts. They have larger heads and angled shapes that help keep them in better contact with my clit than the Smart Wand Medium.
Battery Life
Power Source: Rechargeable
Battery Life on High Power: 40 Minutes
Can Be Used While Plugged In: No
Charging Cable: Round Plug
The Lelo Smart Wand Medium has one of the shortest battery lives of all my wands. It lasts just 40 minutes on its highest power.
There are several longer-lasting options with more power. The comparably-sized Magic Wand Mini has more power and lasts for 3.5 hours on high! It’s a great option if you’re like me, and forget to charge your wand between uses.
Build Quality
The sleek, silicone and metallic plastic handle gives a sleek look to the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium that’s comfortable and functional. Overall this wand feels well-built and solid, though its motor is gentler than other wands.

Review Results
The Lelo Smart Wand 2 is overpriced for its performance. It has very low power with a small range between its low and high settings.
It’s comfortable and easy to use, but it’s just underwhelming. If you like the size of the Smart Wand Medium, there are plenty of comparable options with better vibrations.
Compare Alternatives
Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large
The Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large is a much better wand than the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium, and it’s the only one of the two worth considering. The Medium version is one of the weakest, most overpriced wands we’ve tested. The Large, in contrast, is a unique wand with good performance that’s great for those who prioritize exceptional rumbliness.
The Large has a wide power range, starting gently and building to a moderate strength that’s more powerful than any non-wand vibrator, but not as extreme as some other wands. The Medium, however, is one of my weakest wands—weaker even than many small bullet vibrators—and its gentle vibrations are not worth such a high price tag.
The Large is also one of the most rumbly wands we have ever tested, creating a deep, low-frequency sensation that is its defining feature. While the Medium is also rumbly, its vibrations are too weak to be impactful.
Ultimately, the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large is a good choice if you want outstanding rumbliness. The Medium version underperforms significantly for its luxury price.
Lovense Domi 2
The Lovense Domi 2 is a vastly superior compact wand and a much better value than the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium. The Domi 2 offers immense power, excellent app features, and deep, rumbly vibrations in a compact design, all for a lower price. The Lelo, in contrast, is one of the weakest and most overpriced wands we’ve tested.
Though small, the Domi’s strength matches that of many full-sized wands. While the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium is incredibly weak—less powerful than many small bullet vibrators—it’s not a good option for anyone seeking the intense stimulation wands are known for.
Both wands have rumbly vibrations, but the Lelo’s rumbliness feels underwhelming due to its lack of power.
Besides excellent vibrations, the Domi is comfortable and easy to use, comes with a free app for more detailed control, and even has a longer battery life than the Lelo Medium Wand. The only way the Lelo Wand excels is in noise level, but that’s because it’s weak.
The Lovense Domi 2 is the far better choice over the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium at a lower price.
BMS PalmPower Extreme
The BMS PalmPower Extreme is a much better wand than the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium. The PalmPower Extreme offers top-tier performance, extreme power, and excellent comfort for a much lower price, while the Smart Wand 2 Medium is an expensive wand that significantly underperforms.
Their biggest difference is in vibration power. The PalmPower Extreme is one of the strongest rechargeable wands available, with a wide power range that spans from gentle to extreme. In contrast, the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium is one of the weakest wands we’ve tested, with power comparable to a gentle bullet vibrator. The Lelo’s highest strength is even weaker than the PalmPower’s starting strength.
There’s not much reason to choose the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium – if you were considering it for its small size, the PalmPower Extreme is nearly as compact. Or consider one of our other picks for the best mini wand vibrators. The BMS PalmPower Extreme is a better wand in every respect and is one of my personal favorites.
Lelo Mona 2
The Lelo Mona 2 is another option to consider if you were looking at the Smart Wand because of its smaller size. The Mona 2 is not a wand vibrator. But its slim size and nice handle make it really easy to maneuver and fit in tight spaces (especially during sex). It begins with gentle levels like the Smart Wand Medium, but gets more powerful on its top settings. It’s a better option overall.
Lovense Hyphy
The Lovense Hyphy is another non-wand option like the Mona 2 above, and I use it for the same purpose. It’s a high-quality, less expensive option. It’s stronger than the Smart Wand Medium, but doesn’t have quite as soft low levels.
