The Lovehoney Deluxe Extra Powerful Plug-in wand is a decent wand. The areas it underperforms in are personal preferences, so some people will like this wand. It’s buzzier and less intense than other wands in its price range like the PalmPower Extreme and Magic Wand Rechargeable. Those who like moderate strength and somewhat buzzy vibrations will like this wand.

Vibrations: Power And Range
The Lovehoney Deluxe Plug-in wand has moderate vibration power – stronger than most mini wands, but softer than most full-sized wands, maxing out at 6.7 out of 10. It’s certainly more powerful than any non-wand vibrator I own, but it’s not extreme. It can be a good option for those who enjoy a nice kick of power but don’t want anything too overwhelming.
It also provides plenty of power range – beginning softly at a 1.9 of 10 and working gradually in small steps through 10 levels up to its highest power. Most large wands have between 4 and 8 power levels, so the Lovehoney Deluxe’s 10 settings provide more subtle steps between levels than other wands.
I personally only need level 5 or 6 to orgasm, so unless you need something very intense, you’ll likely be happy with this wand’s power range. But if you want the extreme strength full-sized wands are famous for, others like the BMS PalmPower Extreme or Magic Wand Plus will suit you better.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
Frequency on Low Power: 56 Hz (Extremely Rumbly)
Median Frequency: 83 Hz (Neutral)
Frequency on High Power: 98 Hz (Moderately Buzzy)
We rate wands with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people tend to prefer them. However, preferences vary and some people enjoy neutral or even buzzy vibrations more – the Lovehoney plug-in wand is best for these people.
Although its first four settings are rumbly, the higher settings range from neutral to moderately buzzy. Many people will need its middle or upper levels to orgasm so you’ll likely spend a lot of time on the neutral-feeling or buzzy settings.
While I personally prefer more rumbly wands, I still enjoy this wand’s vibrations since they are not overly powerful or extremely buzzy. The buzziness is not overwhelming like other wands, such as the Viben Obsession. The Lovehoney wand will be in the sweet spot for some people. But the majority of people will prefer something more rumbly like the Magic Wand Rechargeable or PalmPower Extreme.
Comfort & Ease of Use
Waterproof Rating: No Rating
This wand is larger, which can make it more challenging to maneuver due to its weight and bulkiness. Even compared to other full-sized wands it’s longer with a larger head. The wide handle also requires more effort to grip firmly compared to slimmer handles.
However, the weight can also feel good, as it provides natural pressure and does some of the work for you. Larger wands like this offer diffuse, broad stimulation. While some, like the Magic Wand Rechargeable, have a cylindrical head with a lip that provides more focused stimulation when you’d like, the Lovehoney Plug-in Wand has a very round shape, providing broad stimulation only.
The buttons on this wand are easy to feel and use. You don’t need to cycle through intensity levels, as it has separate buttons to increase and decrease power.
Use During Sex
This wand’s large size makes it tricky to use during sex. It has the biggest head of any wand we’ve tested, even though it’s not more powerful than similar wands.
The bulky head requires you to spread your legs fairly wide to fit the wand near your clit. In most positions, my partner and I need to be aware of our body placement and adjust to accommodate the wand’s size.
And since its vibrations aren’t extremely rumbly nor extra powerful, I need to fit the head pretty near to my clit. Whereas stronger, more rumbly full-sized wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable can effectively stimulate my clit indirectly. So precise placement isn’t as necessary.
The wand’s head is quite firm with minimal flexibility, causing uncomfortable pressure on my pubic area during sex. Additionally, the wand is heavy and corded, making it somewhat tiring to hold in place and maneuver around the cord. A smaller, rechargeable option like the Lovense Domi is much easier to handle and move.
Noise
Decibels on Low Power: 51.0 dB
Decibels on High Power: 52.5 dB
Low Power: Audible
Middle Power: Audible
High Power: Audible
High Power with Box Fan: Inaudible
High Power with Music: Inaudible
Even though the Lovehoney Plug-in wand is not extremely powerful, it is audible on every power level when I’m using it behind a closed bedroom door. You can turn on a box fan or music to mask the noise. But there are certainly more discreet options with greater power including the Magic Wand Rechargeable and the Viben Sultry.
Attachment Compatibility
The Lovehoney Deluxe Plug-in Wand is compatible with a wide variety of wand attachments. Its head is close in size to the Magic Wand brand, so attachments designed for those wands also fit the Lovehoney wand.
You can find compatible attachments for many kinds of stimulation including penis, G-spot, anal, prostate, clitoral, and dual-stimulation. See our full wand attachment compatibility table for all wands and attachments we’ve tested.
Mount Compatibility
I test my wands using Liberator mounts for hands-free stimulation – the Axis and Wanda.
With the Axis, the wand’s head is large enough to reach my clit and provide good stimulation. However, the head is very firm, and there is a sharp ridge at the top of the handle, making it uncomfortable when I press my body more firmly against the head for additional pressure.
But when resting normally, the broad head provides a comfortable, diffuse surface. And the handle size keeps the wand held firmly in place in the mount.
The Wanda mount holds the wand in a mostly upright position, allowing you to kneel above it or rest on your hands and knees. The head is positioned at an ideal height for easy clitoral contact. Again, I wish the head were softer for better comfort. But as long as you don’t press too firmly, it remains comfortable.
Power Source
Power Source: Plug-In
Battery Life on High Power: N/A Minutes
Cord Length: 7.9 feet
This wand is a plug-in wand, which comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. You’ll never reach for your wand and realize you forgot to charge it. It’s always ready to go. But you need to play near an outlet. Though the cord is 2.4 meters (~8 feet) long so there’s plenty of room. Some people will not enjoy having to position a cord out of their way – others aren’t bothered by it.
Build Quality
The plastic handle of this wand feels well-constructed and sturdy. The neck has a good thickness to it, so I’m not ever worried I’ll break it if I apply firm pressure.
The buttons are not quite as comfortable as other wands, and the firm silicone head does not feel as high-quality as the plush silicone of the Magic Wand Rechargeable and others. But overall, it’s a well-built wand.

Review Results
This wand can be a good option if you enjoy moderate, but not overwhelming power, and you prefer neutral or even somewhat buzzy vibrations. If you like rumbly vibrations or want the extreme upper power levels large wand vibrators are famous for, there are better options for you.
Compare Alternatives
BMS PalmPower Extreme
The BMS PalmPower Extreme is more powerful than the Lovehoney Plug-in wand, even though it’s smaller and lighter. This wand’s more compact size makes it easier to maneuver, and its angled head helps it fit better in tight spaces (especially beneficial during sex). It’s also more rumbly. If you prefer extreme power and rumbly vibrations, the PalmPower Extreme is a better option. It’s also cheaper.
Magic Wand Rechargeable
The Magic Wand Rechargeable has more powerful and rumbly vibrations than the Lovehoney Plug-in wand. Its plush head is also more comfortable than Lovehoney’s firm head. This wand’s head shape is cylindrical, which helps you get broad stimulation when pressing the side to your body or more focused stimulation when pressing the lip to your body. The Magic Wand Rechargeable is minimally more expensive than the Lovehoney Deluxe Plug-in wand.
Magic Wand Plus
The Magic Wand Plus has many of the same benefits of the Magic Wand Rechargeable over the Lovehoney wand. It’s stronger, more rumbly, with a comfortable plush head. This one is corded like the Lovehoney wand so it’s budget friendly.
