Supercharged Thunderstick Power Wand

super strong, durable, ease of cleaning,

Note: This review is for a recently purchased Thunder Stick that appears made after they solved a series of issues related to the first design/manufacturing run. I cannot be completely sure, but I ran across some information through other sites that refers (unofficially) to the "Thunder Stick 2". Everyone knows the original Hitachi Magic Wand has been replaced with a very similar, but slightly weaker version licensed to another manufacturer (the HV-270 versus the HV-260). Note that some sellers are marketing the new version as the "original" and it is not. Having a need to replace our aging original Hitachi, led me to conduct serious research. Most (not all) roads led to the Thunder Stick. The Thunder Stick is nearly the same form factor as the Hitachi Wand. Key differences in form factor are 1) Thunder Stick is lighter and shaped slightly different, and 2) Thunder Stick head is made of a slightly softer material but contains more "bands" or ridges than the single center band on the Hitachi. In direct side by side comparison, the Thunder Stick is noticeably more powerful than the Hitachi. Also, the variable speed wheel selection, as opposed to the Hitachi rocker switch providing only two speeds (low and high), allows for any variation of vibration. The Thunder Stick is manufactured with quality you can feel, just like the Hitachi, but at a lighter weight. The cord length on both units (critical) are the same length. The Thunder Stick feels good ergonomically and the weight seems distributed very well. The Thunder Stick is also quieter than the Hitachi compared side by side. However, our Hitachi is not new so comparing noise (and strength) side by side may be a little unfair; though, without a doubt, I believe the Thunder Stick is noticeably more powerful than a Hitachi wand out of the box. My only concern (somewhat unfounded at this point) is the question of durability and only time will tell. The Hitachi Wands had a life expectancy (with us) of about 18-24 months before the motor would start to weaken. We have only had the Thunder Stick two weeks and will need more time before I could reliably opine on durability. In the end my recommendation would be to buy the Thunder Stick. I doubt any former Hitachi Wand user would be disappointed.

I'm reviewing this after almost 3 years of fairly heavy use-- it still works like a champ. It's powerful, not super loud, and I like that it has variable speeds. (The Magic Wand brand is a little rumblier, but it only has two speeds-- high and low.) I've actually worked at a toy shop for the past 6 months, and this wand remains my favorite, plus it's reasonably priced. And I've even used it to massage my neck and shoulders!

Can't feel anything unless it's on full power. Cord is short and thin. Over heated after 45 minutes. It's an absolute waste of money. Do not purchase. My old love honey wand that I hoped to replace with this is stronger and better after 2 years of use. Such a disappointment.

I have always used Adam and Eve wand vibrators. This is my first time trying abother brand. Straight out of the box, I noticed that the end of it bends. Depending on your style that can be good or bad. It is nice and lightweight. The cord is good quality and it probably won't break too fast like Adam and Eve. It has a lot of different vibration settings. That is good for those who like a range. The end isn't hard plastic. It's nice and soft. For me the bending end was good. It prevented me from pushing too hard during use. I liked the range of settings. Though I wish that the dial was a little harder to turn. During use I kept accidentally adjusting the speed. That was a little frustrating. It wasn't quite as powerful as my Adam and Eve wand, but all and all, I really wouldn't complain too much. I would recommend this to someone who has never used a wand before. It definitely gets the job done.

This thunder stick certainly packs quite the wallop. It has variable speeds and you won't be disappointed if your er stiff neck requires a higher speed than normal. Even though its larger its still manageable to hold and the neck of this massager bends so its flexible as you maneuver those bends and curves. ;) Its quiet which is a huge plus. I found the wand attachments fit it nicely. My MAIN complaint and only complaint is how sad I am that the dial switch literally fell inside the handle when I was adjusting the speed setting. This was only the second time I'd used it!!! :( Its not like I was manhandling it or anything, just turning the dial and FOOP the dang dial fell inside the handle and I had to unplug it to get it to shut off. Now its unusable and I don't believe you can return\exchange it. So major disappointment. I'm pretty sure its just a defective one but I'm a super sad panda consumer now.

While the Hitachi (actual original version) will always hold the seat as the 1st and longest running vibrator of it's kind, this is not to be missed. The Thunder Stick by themaster-series.com has instead of adding a dimmer controller as I have with the other brand; has it's own dimmer (slow to high adjustable) built right in and controlled by your thumb..which makes it more versatile right out of the box. To some, the Hitachi in it's two mode state is either too low or to high which is why the dimming controller was introduced by one of these people who loved it but had to have more control over it. The Thunder Stick is nearly, if just as powerful as the Hitachi, but now with this adjustable control knob, its feel-good handle, and super flexible neck; make this a must-have in your bedroom or play area! Beware however based on some other posts here, that you may want to be gentle with it's neck when holding it onto your erotic zones. Forcibly bending the neck in the throws of pleasure may cause the wire inside the neck to be stressed under pressure and damage your Thunder Stick. Holding it very sternly against you does no more actually than holding it lightly yet firmly to your various pleasure zones. IMHO the flexible head allows you to give it a bit more than a light pressure but like the Hitachi, the vibration will weaken as you involve more force causing a resistance in its over-all effectiveness. Just as the more surface area you involve with Estim products the lesser the effect. The same goes with powerful vibrators like this or any personal vibrator for that matter except maybe the Sybian which I've not experimented with..yet. It has vents also built into the handle to prevent heat build-up while engaging it in long sessions. The only thing that I could possibly recommend is perhaps another two to three feet of cord to help when stretching it across the bed from the outlet or you should have a good quality but light extension cord with it if you take it on your travels. Their video compares it side by side in water with the Hitachi to show you that it is a worthy competitor and it is! I've never found another vibrator that compared; then was born the Thunder Stick!!!

It's a thunder stick for god's sake folks! What do you think is gonna be a review? Weak?.... No! Many speeds?.... Yep! One that's right for her/him?.... Yep!! It does so much! Relieves back pain, massages sore muscles, yep!! Does it do the other things that most people think?? YEP!!!! As it should it has a roll button thing that increases speed, from little to high I spose, all speeds seem to work great! Somewhere just a little past middle seems to be the Wifey's particular speed she likes, for her.... shoulder massages. It's pretty quiet too, seems loud when your next to it, but 6 feet away you can barely hear, in case your kids ask what you were doing. And as always, momma's shoulder hurt! Just saying....

This thing is amazing! Not only is it great in bed, it actually helps my sciatica and fibromyalgia pains.. Didn't expect that bonus. The dial hits the blankets a little and turns it down kinda easy but I have no complaints really. Goes above and beyond what I expected! Wayyy better than the Hitachi magic wand, I owned one for a couple years then it exploded while my partner and I were using it. Burned my neck even! Plus the power on the Thunderstick is even more impressive. Nicely built and fancy looking too! 10/10 would recommend.

Large, heavy and handy to adjust speed - it's all perfect if you have grown to know what you want. Never runs out of power because it's not chargable. Isn't it frustrating when such chargable device starts to make hick-ups at the most valuable moment? This will not fail you. You can scale from very gentle to very intensive with just a move of your finger. Mechanical speed control is "must have".

Quiet and powerful!

A long while ago I bought this product and after a few uses it completely broke. I thought that maybe it was just a one in a million bad luck situation. So recently, I decided to purchase the same thing. Well this time I plugged it in and right away it didn't even work. These are the most defective products that I have come across. I shop almost weekly on Amazon and have only returned something once. BEWARE. DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT. I gave it a 1 star because I couldn't give it anything less.

Slightly more power that the hitachi wand but has a slight orbital motion some persons may or not like. Not as poweful as a percustion vibrator but is good for what it is intended for.
