Did you know that in 2022, 80% of women faked orgasms during intercourse? If this sounds familiar, it can get frustrating, we know! Well, put down that glass of wine and pay attention because we've got you covered with this Magic Wand Rechargeable review.
We're talking about none other than the Magic Wand HV-270, the ultimate toy for mind-blowing orgasms. In this blog post, we'll be diving into a full-blown Magic Wand Rechargeable review to show you what it is and what key considerations to keep in mind when deciding to buy or not.
What is a Magic Wand Massager?
According to Sexual Alpha, 70% of women get orgasms from clitoral stimulation. That’s where this magic wand comes in. No partner? No problem! You can still get that big “O” by yourself.
In 1968, Hitachi originally produced the Magic Wand as a “neck and back massager”, who knew it would not end there?
Betty Dodson, a famed sex educator, touted the Magic Wand as the cure to anorgasmia. Hence, the birth of the Magic Wand Vibrator. The original Magic Wand quickly became famous for helping women reach orgasms effortlessly.
Ever since the market for personal massagers has exploded. There are many options available, ranging from pocket-sized to powerhouse, curved to straight, and plug-in to cordless.
The tricky part is with having so much choice is knowing which vibe will suit your body best. The Magic Wand range alone has four stellar options to go for -
- The Original Magic Wand (formerly Hitachi Magic Wand)
- The Magic Wand Rechargeable 2015
- The Magic Wand Plus 2019
- The Magic Wand Mini 2022
- The Magic Wand Micro 2023
FYI - In 2013 Vibratex took over distribution of the Magic Wand Original from Hitachi. Now all of the Magic Wand models fall under the same brand and come with the same one-year warranty.
Each wand offers something different, so before our deep dive into the rechargeable version let's see how they stack up against each other..

Why Choose the Magic Wand Rechargeable?
The Rechargeable Wand was designed to bring all that was great about the Original while adding modern features to bring it into the 21st century. In order to maintain it's status as the best sex toy every detail was carefully considered.
Power Play
One of the pitfalls of the Magic Wand Original was that as there were only two speed settings. Both of these were seriously strong, so it wasn't exactly beginner friendly. The Magic Wand rechargeable's design deals with this perfectly, offering four speeds ranging from WOW to OMG! Or more technically, 2700 rpm to 6300 rpm.
Many competing massagers can pack a punch too, however, the Magic Wand uses a dual motor, which delivers vibes that are rumblier and pulsate at a deeper level.
The lower speeds are ideal for wand newbies as the deep rumbles combine with the lower intensity and steady vibrations to create effortless orgasms. As you get more comfortable with the wand's power you can experiment with the settings. We're not knocking the Original, we love that it's powerful, it's just good to have options to get us there!
Ease of Use
Like all Magic Wands, the Rechargeable is super-easy to use. The magic begins with placing the head onto the vulva, labium and clit where strong rumbly vibrations give deep sensations to the sensitive tissues and nerve endings. On top of the speed options above there are also 4 vibration pattern settings so you can choose how you want your wand to vibrate.
We see wands with twice as many vibe patterns to this. Honestly, it's a faff cycling through the patterns to find the right pulse. It might sound cool having 8-12 settings but it's unnecessary. The Magic Wand Rechargeable strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and pleasure.
Does Size Matter?
When it comes to wand vibrators, size definitely matters! And we're not just talking about length here (although that can be a factor for some). The size of the head of the wand is crucial, as it will determine the surface area of vibrations you'll be experiencing.
The Magic Wand's head has a diameter of 2.4inches (6cm), so it can target more pleasure points at one time. If you're a seasoned wand-er and can handle some serious power, the larger head size delivers deeper pulses than smaller options, giving an all-encompassing pleasure experience.
For beginners we suggest starting on the lower power settings and building up, the generous surface area of the wand head makes it easy to experiment and find your perfect pulse.
Magic Wand Weight
In terms of weight the the Magic Wand Rechargeable and Plus come in lighter than the Original. The Rechargeable weighs 21oz, which is 5oz more than the Plus but 3oz less than the Original.
It feels premium when you hold it and it's certainly well built, however after a long session it can be a tad tiring on the arm/wrist. It's nothing to complain about but for people who want something a little less 'heavy duty', the Mini's 9.7 oz frame is easier to hold.
Low Maintenance
When it comes to sexual health toy hygiene is important.
A huge bonus of the Rechargeable Magic Wand is that it's made from nonporous materials.
The medical-grade silicone head is easier to clean properly compared to the Original. This is something which should be done each time you use the Magic Wand.
We've put together a separate guide on how to clean and maintain your wand, so we won't go into much here.
It's definitely low maintenance though, all you need is a moist cleaning cloth which has a bit of mild soap on it. Wet wipes or baby wipes work a treat for this.
Do not soak the wand or run it under the tap, it's not waterproof or splash-proof and we'd hate to see a wand go down this way!
Room for improvement
Just like any other product, the Magic Wand still has its disadvantages.
Keep in mind that the larger and more powerful the wand, the louder it will be. The Original has a very distinctive buzzing sound which fortunately isn't there with the Rechargeable. Considering the power under the hood the pitch and overall volume aren't bad. We'd love to see an ultra quiet model but using the Wand discreetly is easily achievable.
Another point worth mentioning is that there is no waterproof protection, for us, it’s no deal breaker. Just make sure you don’t take it in the bath!
If you are looking for a quieter, more discreet Magic Wand it's worth considering either the Mini or the Micro.
Should I upgrade?
No Magic Wand Rechargeable review would be complete without comparison to the Original Wand. If you're using the Original Magic Wand you may be asking whether it's worth the investment to switch to the Rechargeable.
It comes in at $130, a whole $60 more than the Original. The body of both wands is made from ABS plastic, however the soft silicone head on the Rechargeable model offers a huge upgrade to the PVC / vinyl head of the Original.
Both are body-safe however the nonporous upgraded head is much smoother and softer to touch. It's also has a slightly bigger surface area to distribute the vibes more evenly.
Intensity Overload
The Original Wand does't offer any lower settings when it comes to power. The intensity levels are exactly that, intense! This is great for speedy orgasms, however it can also cause some temporary numbness and end up being a bit much.
The Rechargeable strikes a much better balance. The four speed settings allow you to build up more gradually to the stronger vibration levels.
This extra control up and down the levels makes it easier to be able to achieve orgasms - multiple in our experience.
Corded vs Cordless
Corded toys typically have more powerful vibrations because they don't rely on battery power, however the cord can be restrictive and limits your movement and range of use.
After years of testing Vibratex absolutely nailed this on the upgrade. If you were ever worried that the Rechargeable would fail to live up to the power of the Original, don't be. It's strong, powerful and seriously intense on the higher settings.
The Rechargeable has stamina too, packing in up to 3 hours of use per charge. In our tests the battery life went just over this. If you run low on charge it can be used with the 6-foot-long charging cord that's included with it, offering the best of both worlds.
Many cheaper options either lack power or need to be recharged more frequently, there are no such worries here.
It comes at a premium price but when you factor in the performance as well as the freedom and flexibility of movement, the vote firmly swings in favor of camp cordless!
Others to Consider - Le Wand and Doxy Vibrators
Like the Magic Wand Rechargeable both Le Wand and Doxy offer cordless wands.
Doxy Die Cast 3R
The Doxy Die Cast 3R is a gorgeous looking wand and packs real power to boot. It's a smaller, battery powered version of the Doxy Original Die Cast.
The Doxy wand offers something different to the Magic Wand. It's petite frame and smaller head lead to more focused and pinpoint stimulation.
This makes direct comparison a little tricky as it depends what wand experience you are looking for. It's right at the premium end in terms of price ($189), but definitely worth consideration when looking at smaller wands.
Doxy also offer a range of screw on attachments for internal stimulation. You can get attachments for the Magic Wand range here, but we think having an official range of accessories is a great idea.
Le Wand Rechargeable
Le Wand on the other hand is similar in stature to the Rechargeable Magic Wand. It's a heavy duty, premium looking vibrator. The cost is similar to the Magic Wand at $135.
In terms of performance we think the Magic Wand edges it. Le Wand is a great toy but the vibrations come across in more of a buzzy fashion, as opposed to deep rumbles.
The button layout is also a bit awkward as the pattern settings sit between the up and down speed controls. It's not a deal breaker but it can be annoying as it's easy to press the wrong thing at a time when distractions aren't welcome..
It has speed and vibration options galore, with 10 intensity levels and 20 vibrating patterns. So it's perfect if you like to experiment in depth with your vibe.
It's important to remember when it comes to picking a vibrator personal preference is what matters. There are so many incredible options we are spoiled for choice!
Good Vibes Only
For us the Magic Wand Rechargeable is the best wand massager available, period. It's the only toy you need for on-demand orgasms. There are a plenty of other psychological and physical benefits to using the wand as well. We talk about 7 of the most important benefits here.
The ease of use, powerful performance, and exceptional feel make the Magic Wand a must-have for sex toy beginners and seasoned pros alike.
Yes, we’d like to see a waterproof edition in future but with everything this iconic vibe offers there’s no doubt it’s the number 1 toy friend money can buy.
