Our Verdict

The Magic Wand Mini is one of my favorite wand vibrators. This mid-sized wand is great for those who like strong vibrations with good rumbliness, but don’t need the overwhelming power some large wands reach.

The Magic Wand Mini’s top strength is comparable to the second level of the full-sized Magic Wand Rechargeable. And this power is perfect for me since I rarely use the full-sized version’s higher settings – I prefer this strength over extreme intensity. If that sounds like you too, the Mini will be a good choice and cost less.

The smaller size comes with the added benefit that it’s especially comfortable and easy to use for solo-play or during partnered sex – it fits more easily between bodies. Plus, it comes from a well-respected, name-brand company at a reasonable price.

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.

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.

The Magic Wand Mini is a great moderately-powered wand at an affordable price. Its top power is stronger than all my favorite non-wand vibrators like the Lovense Hyphy, Lelo Mona 2, and We-Vibe Nova 2.

Even the Magic Wand Mini’s lowest power is enough for me to orgasm. And with its second and third levels, it offers plenty of range for me.

If you’re comparing it to the full-sized Magic Wands, the Mini is about 70% as strong as the Magic Wand Rechargeable. And it’s about 55% as strong as the plug-in Magic Wand Plus. So those may be good options if you’re looking for the enormous power some people enjoy from a wand.

The Magic Wand Mini vs Rechargeable vs Plus

But unless you’re a power-queen or king you’ll likely enjoy the Magic Wand Mini’s power range. For instance, even when I use the Rechargeable and Plus I rarely go past their second power levels (which are comparable to the Mini’s strength). The full-sized versions’ upper levels usually feel overwhelming to me.

So the Magic Wand Mini is a great option for people who enjoy strong vibrators, but don’t need the ultra-powerful settings of large wands. Personally, the Mini is one of the wands I use most often!

Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)

Performance Rating:

6.1

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.

If you prefer vibrations in a specific area along the rumbly-to-buzzy spectrum.

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.

(Neutral)

Ave Power Per Frequency:

4.2

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 average across all its levels.

When does it matter:

If you want a wand with a good balance of power and rumbliness.

Show All Scores (Click to See):

When scoring vibration frequency (how rumbly or buzzy a vibrator is), we rate rumbly wands higher because more people tend to prefer low-frequency (rumbly) vibrations. But this is more of a personal preference, so a higher score doesn’t necessarily imply that a wand is better for you. 

Keep in mind your preferences.

The Magic Wand Mini’s rumbliness lands in the middle of the pack. The first two power levels are extremely rumbly and moderately rumbly. Then the highest power level feels more neutral – neither buzzy nor rumbly.

This is a pretty typical vibration profile – as a wand’s power increases, it always becomes less rumbly. I personally enjoy the Magic Wand Mini’s frequency range because it gives me options. And I can orgasm on any of its power levels, so I can select a more rumbly or more neutral vibration frequency depending on what I want at the moment.

Extremely Rumbly Magic Wand Rechargeable Lovense Domi and Lelo Large Wand
More rumbly alternatives to the Magic Wand Mini. From left to right: Magic Wand Rechargeable, Lovense Domi 2, and Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large

If you always prefer more rumbly vibrations, the full-sized Magic Wand Rechargeable is a bit more rumbly than the Mini. And the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Large and Lovense Domi are the most rumbly wands we’ve tested.

If you’re like me and enjoy a range of rumbliness, then the Magic Wand Mini is a great option!

Comfort & Ease Of Use

Performance Rating:

9.4

What is it:

How comfortable the wand is to hold and press against your body. As well as how easy it is to press the buttons, leverage the wand for good pressure, and maneuver it to apply the stimulation where and how you want it. This rating also includes how easy the wand is to clean. Ratings are based primarily on solo use – I cover use during partnered sex here.

When does it matter:

If you are easily distracted by subtle discomforts such as feeling the vibrations in your hands, slight wrist strain, or an awkward grip on the handle. It also matters if you want a wand that’s easy to use for a wide variety of stimulation or for long periods of time.

These wands have excellent performance in this category and others. We only include wands we recommend overall, excluding wands that perform well here but not in other areas.

Waterproof Rating:

No Rating

What is it:

The waterproof rating of the wand vibrator – IPX7, IPX6, or No Rating

When does it matter:

When you plan to use your wand vibrator in the shower or want simpler cleaning.

  • IPX7 (Submersible): Wands with this rating are considered “waterproof.” You can submerge them in water up to a meter deep for up to 30 minutes. So you can use them in the bath and cleaning is easy.
  • IPX6 (Splashproof): Wands with this rating can resist high-pressure, heavy sprays of water, but should not be fully submerged. This means you can use them in the shower (but not submerged in a bath). You can also clean them under a sink faucet without worry.
  • No Rating: These wands do not have a waterproof rating. You should not use them in the shower, and you must be careful to keep water away from electronic components when cleaning them .

The Magic Wand Mini is one of the most comfortable and easy-to-use wands! 

Its only downside is that it’s not waterproof (none of the Magic Wands are), so it takes an extra bit of care when cleaning the Mini. If that’s a priority to you, consider a waterproof wand like the Viben Sultry. But I still find the Magic Wand Mini easy to clean. 

During use – the handle, head shape & texture, size, and controls all make the Magic Wand Mini wonderfully comfortable and maneuverable.

The controls are some of my favorites on any wand. The buttons are easy to press without having to adjust my grip during use. And you can move up and down through power levels. This simple difference is a drastic improvement over toys that make you cycle through power levels with a single button. 

The handle is very easy and comfortable to keep a tight grip on and make adjustments for better stimulation. The head is a plush, cylindrical shape, which is comfortable to press against my body. 

Magic Wand Mini Head Allows Broad or Focused Stimulation
Use the side of the Magic Wand Mini’s head for more broad stimulation, or the top edges for more focused stimulation

And I can comfortably leverage the Magic Wand Mini to press the vibes more or less firmly against my body.

The cylindrical shape of the head also allows you to vary how much of the head is pressing against you. Use the side of the head for broader, more even pressure. Or use the “edge” of the cylinder shape for more focused pressure and stimulation. 

The variety of stimulation you can get from the Magic Wand Mini’s head is one of my favorite aspects.

The Magic Wand Mini is also one of my favorite wand vibrators to use during sex.

I give it a perfect score in both Modified Missionary and Cowgirl positions. The handle length is ideal, and the plush head keeps consistent, comfortable contact with my clit even during heavy movement. 

Especially in positions with more limited space like Missionary and Cowgirl, the Magic Wand Mini’s squishy head is a huge plus. I find firm heads can sometimes bump against my clit uncomfortably in these positions, but the Mini’s plush head remains comfortable.

Not to mention how easy it is to adjust the intensity of the vibrations.

I also enjoy it during from-behind positions like Spooning and Doggystyle. The wand is very easy to maneuver in these positions. It’s light enough that holding it up in Doggystyle doesn’t get too tiring. And its head is a good size to fit easily between my legs.

The Magic Wand Mini is a reasonably quiet wand vibrator. Though the decibel readings in our tests are just average, when it comes to practical use, it’s very discreet!

I use each wand in the bedroom while my partner listens directly on the other side of our closed bedroom door. He cannot hear the Magic Wand Mini on any of its power levels. I don’t need to turn a fan on or play music to drown out the noise as I do with some other wand vibrators.

So the Magic Wand Mini is a good option if you live with other people and need to keep the noise down.

The Magic Wand Mini has average attachment compatibility.

The Magic Wand Mini’s head is too small to fit the attachments designed for full-sized wands like the Magic Wand Rechargeable and Magic Wand Plus. But there are some brands that make attachments for mid-sized wands.

All the attachments designed for the Le Wand Petite also fit the Magic Wand Mini. These cover a broad range of stimulation options: G-spot, anal, and prostate stimulation. And they make textured caps to change how the clit stimulation feels.

Both Lovense Domi attachments also fit the Magic Wand Mini – these also provide internal stimulation and texture. And the male attachment has a penis stimulator too.

The Wand Essential Vibra Cup Penis Masturbator also fits the Magic Wand Mini (Note – this attachment is made from a porous material).

So overall you can find pretty much any kind of stimulation you want to achieve from an attachment. You just have fewer total choices than you would with a full-sized wand.
