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.

Compare Wand Vibrators

The Magic Wand Mini is an excellent wand and one of the best in its price range. Compared to similarly-priced wands, it has a higher-quality build with a longer battery life and more comfortable materials (like its especially plush silicone head). A couple of mini wands, including the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand and pricier Lovense Domi 2, have more power if that’s a top priority.

Vibrations: Power And Range


Max Power Rating

7.0

What is it:

How strong the wand vibrator’s highest power level feels.

When does it matter:

If you prefer the extreme power some wands offer or want to make sure your wand at least reaches a certain strength.

Scoring Factors:

Subjectively Scored

Power Range Rating:

6.5

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.

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.

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)


Rumbliness Rating:

7.1

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.

When does it matter:

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

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.

Frequency on Low Power:

52 Hz

(Extremely Rumbly)

Median Frequency:

68 Hz

(Moderately 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.

Frequency on High Power:

(Neutral)

Ave Power Per Frequency:

6.0

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.

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


Comfort & Ease of Use 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.
