Our Verdict

The VeDO Wanda is a mid-priced wand vibrator that performs decently in most categories. It’s one of the quieter wands. Plus, it’s easy to hold and maneuver or use with a mount for hands-free play. 

But I find it difficult to leverage the VeDO Wanda for firm pressure. And its vibrations are mediocre – neither particularly strong nor especially rumbly. I think other wand vibrators in the same price range provide a better experience – jump here to compare.

Compare Wand Vibrators

The VeDO Wanda is decent, but it underperforms for the price. The Dame Com, Magic Wand Mini, and Magic Wand Plus are similarly priced and each offers better vibrations. For those who prefer more moderate power, the Dame Com or Magic Wand Mini are better options. If you enjoy the extreme vibration strength some wands offer, the Magic Wand Plus is a better choice. If you don’t mind a little less rumbliness, the VeDO Wini is similar to the Wanda, but it’s a cheaper wand and a better value.

Vibrations: Power And Range


Max Power Rating

6.9

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.

Power Range Rating:

6.6

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 VeDO Wanda has three power levels which cover a decent range from low to moderate power.

The top power is a smidge stronger than my favorite non-wand vibrators (bullets, G-spot vibrators, rabbit vibrators). I can easily orgasm with the Wanda pressed to my clit. So if you enjoy the more moderate vibration strength of other types of vibrators, but prefer the way broad wands spread the vibrations out – the Wanda will likely do the trick for you. 

VeDO Wanda Compared to Lower Powered Toys
The VeDO Wanda (far right) is slightly stronger than some of my favorite non-wands – (left to right: We-Vibe Tango X, Lelo Mona 2, We-Vibe Nova 2)

But there are cheaper wand vibrators with a similar power range like the Maia Zoe Dual-Ended Wand. And other comparably priced wands like the Magic Wand Mini and Dame Com have a similar power range with better performance in other areas.

And if you’re looking for exceptional power, the Magic Wand Plus will be a better fit in the same price range.

Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)


Rumbliness Rating:

6.8

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.

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:

48 Hz

(Extremely Rumbly)

Median Frequency:

73 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:

5.9

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):

Because most people prefer low-frequency, rumbly vibrations, I rate more rumbly wand vibrators higher than buzzy wands in this performance metric. However, vibration frequency is a personal preference. And some people enjoy vibrations more toward the middle or the buzzy (high-frequency) side of the spectrum. 

So consider what you enjoy!

The VeDO Wanda’s vibrations range from extremely rumbly on low power, to neutral on high power. But because the first power level is fairly soft, you’ll likely use the top two power levels most often.

As a result, you can expect the VeDO Wanda to feel moderately rumbly to neutral most of the time. So it’s best if you enjoy vibrations more toward the middle of the spectrum. If you’re not sure what you enjoy it can also be good since it’s not too far to one side.

Lovense Domi vs VeDO Wanda vs Magic Wand Plus - Vibration Power vs Frequency Graph

Or consider something like the Magic Wand Plus which spans a broad range from extremely rumbly to moderately buzzy with ample power at each level.

If you’re in the majority and prefer mostly rumbly vibrations, you may want to invest the extra $10-$20 for the Lovense Domi. With a compact size like the Wanda, it has a much greater power range, and 90% of its power levels are extremely rumbly.

Comfort & Ease Of Use


Comfort & Ease of Use Rating:

7.7

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.
