All the sex machines we tested7 Best Sex Machines [Video Demonstration]

A good sex machine is like having a dependable dance partner. It moves with purpose, keeps the rhythm, and never complains about sore hips. Sure, it won’t win any awards for portability, but when you want consistent, mechanical thrusting, nothing else really compares.

The question is, with so many options staring you down, which one deserves a spot in your bedroom?

After running more tests than we can count, the Hismith 4.0 continues to stand out. It’s steady and it’s strong. And while competitors like Lovense have entered the scene with flashy features, Hismith still takes the crown for stability at full power. The 100-watt motor delivers a steady stream of thrust that lasts long after your arms would have given out. With a wide range of attachments and speed options, the Hismith 4.0 has proven itself as a flexible, reliable pick for anyone ready to add serious movement to their play.

Update: Seeing the positive response, we went out of our way to negotiate a special deal with Hismith for you! If you buy the machine directly through the Hismith site, you can use a discount code: HM10 to get 10% off + Free Spring Attachment ($40 value)!

Why You Should Trust Us

Rachel SommerRachel Sommer

Rachel Sommer, Ph.D., is a clinical sexologist and the author of this article. Since 2016, she has worked with her colleagues to review sex machines and match them with the most appropriate users. She emphasizes the quality to ensure you’re buying a sex device that’s just as safe to use as it is efficient. Rachel also focuses on functionality and value for money, so the recommendations are tailor-made to individual sexual needs and desires.

Besides Rachel’s experience and expertise, My Sex Toy Guide has many experts, including researchers, marketers, writers, and technologists. Assembling different disciplines means we looked at every aspect of the sex machines during the testing phase, only giving the nod to the most outstanding models.

 


How We Picked the Products

I preselected dozens of sex machines for this article, prioritizing models made from body-safe materials and those compatible with different dildos and sex toys. Once everything was ready, I assembled the testing team (Myself, Sandra Larson, Shane Davis, and Tim Larson) and defined our test criteria that we could measure on a scale from 0 to 100. They included the following:

  • Flexibility. How flexible your machine is will determine the possibilities you’ll enjoy. We prioritized products with the most adjustability to ensure you make the most of the experience. Besides the flexible design, we also focused on Vac-U-Lock compatibility and other mechanisms like the Klicklock rods to ensure you can use different dildos and attachments.
  • We only reviewed products with outstanding build quality and those made from high-quality, body-safe materials like silicone, TPE, ABS, Stainless Steel, and Aluminum.
  • Like other sexual wellness products, we included different sizes to match everyone’s tastes and sexual desires. While these devices are primarily huge, we did add smaller-sized models. I was incredibly committed to adding a few portable options for people with mobility and wrist issues.
  • The most effective sex machines feature multiple control options, including a remote controller for simplified close-range control. A dedicated mobile app is always positive because it enhances long-distance control and opens new possibilities.
  • Settings. Most devices have multiple thrusting speeds and lengths. I advised the team to focus more on those with the most settings.
  • While most of the enormous sex machine toys are plug-and-play, some, like the Kiiroo Keon, have rechargeable batteries. I ensured the rechargeable ones had a positive battery life to ensure you enjoy the automated thrusting without worrying about getting caught unawares.
  • Stability and Safety. The stability varied from one product to another. Sometimes by a lot. However, we ensured to pick only the most stable in the different categories. You don’t want a device that topples over with the slightest provocation. Do you?

During testing, we rated each test criterion on a percentage scale from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). We then calculated the overall score using different weighted metrics depending on the importance of the test criteria. Half the total rating comes from Stimulations (25%) and Safety (25%). After that come Settings (10%), Build Quality (10%), and Flexibility (10%).

Once the testing was done, I pulled together every note from my colleagues. I also checked in with the research team to collect feedback from vendor listings and real user discussions on sex toy forums. I went through it all: side-by-side comparisons, performance charts, and patterns that kept showing up. From there, I narrowed the field to the machines that consistently delivered the best results. These are the ones that truly earned their place on this year’s list of the best sex machines.

 


Everything We Tested

In this chapter, you can see a comparison table with all the products we tested. As you can see, each row has the test criteria our team used during the testing. To make our testing process even more transparent, we also included the raw test data so you can see how the products performed with each test criterion.

 


1. Hismith 4.0 Sex Machine: Our Test Winner!

Hismith 4.0 Premium Sex MachineHismith 4.0 Premium Sex Machine

Why we love Hismith 4.0 Sex Machine:

If you followed us through the years, you know that the Hismith Premium Sex Machine (review here) has topped this list since the very first edition back in 2016. But now we have finally found a worthy contender: The Hismith 4.0 machine, which we believe is this year’s best sex machine. The testers thought the easy-to-adjust design made it easy to switch to different positions and angles. Plus, the new Hismith mobile app and remote control significantly enhanced the user experience and took things to an even higher level!

One of the standout features was the powerful motor. Hismith 4.0’s motor was second to none. Unlike the competition, it goes on as long as you want without the annoying overheating. “I’m sorry to be that guy, but Hismith is overkill,” stated Sandra Larson. “The motor felt like it could power a treadmill, and the whole setup looked like an exercise bike with a dildo on one end.

Let’s talk about the design next. The testers thought the modern design kills two birds with a single stone. Its elaborate functionality and impressive efficiency were evident from the time we unboxed Hismith 4.0. In addition, the stability at higher speeds was amazing. Unlike the predecessor, it stayed intact throughout the experience, with just a little wiggle of the metal bars. Most importantly, the stability wasn’t affected. Bravo Hismith!

Rachel Sommer summarized her experience like this: “My partner and I ‘s preferred speed is between 15 and 20 (max speed is 100). Still, it felt intense, and we couldn’t use it for long. Funny enough, I needed a break after ten minutes, a testament to the massive motor power.”

One of the big positives from our review was the build quality. The team felt that the heavy metal bars gave it a solid, almost anchored feel, even when we pushed it to full speed. The aluminum alloy frame added to that impression; durable, easy to wipe down, and clearly made to last. The included dildos were body-safe silicone, which is always good to see. They did pick up lint faster than we’d like, but their realistic look gave them a nice visual edge.

On top of that, adjusting height and angle was simple, no matter which attachment we used. My colleagues especially liked that thrust depth could be dialed in to suit different preferences, and manual adjustment allowed for a maximum of six inches. From our testing, that’s more than enough range for most people.

Closeup of the dildoCloseup of the dildo

Note: Hismith 4.0 is compatible with different dildos (you can see one of them in the above image), pocket pussies, and strokers. Hismith offers multiple attachments to choose from to ensure you make the most of the experience. Whether you’re after G-spot stimulation, solo masturbation, or anal exploration, there’s something for everyone.

All this makes us believe that it’s ideal for anyone yearning for pulse-pounding, intense penetration. The thrusting action is fast and hard, words that fall short of describing my true feeling of the Hismith sex machine 4.0.

Me testing the noise levelMe testing the noise level

As anticipated, the power comes with a loud whirring sound that pitches up as the speed increases. The decibels ranged between 37 and 61 when we tested the machine, and even with music, masking the noise was a tough ask. Unless you live alone, there’ll be some explaining to do.

We were unsure of the assembly and how long it would take, but we’re glad Hismith included a detailed instruction manual. All in all, it took about 20 minutes to get it running, and the neat final look was something other companies should take note of. The cords lock into place, and surprisingly enough, you must align the power cord’s notches correctly, or the toy won’t turn on. It took a while to figure that out because the notches were tiny, and I had to look for them. (We snapped a photo of everything below so you get an idea of the different parts.)

All the parts that was inside the boxAll the parts that was inside the box

About the handling, the Ultimate Pleasure app was a game-changer and an upgrade to the plug-in remote controller. It added crucial functionalities to the sex machine, including a community where you can follow other users and explore their favorite patterns. A group play option was another highlight that lets you play with more than one person in the community or with your friend.

Overall, the team thought the mobile app was not as good as the Lovense Remote app, but it still offered a great combination of features that are easy to use. However, future updates should add a way to search for modes using a keyword. In addition, there’s no way to prevent the app from turning off, and you must keep touching the screen repeatedly.

Hismith 4.0 Sex MachineHismith 4.0 Sex Machine

Lastly, the Hismith 4.0 Premium’s versatility was impressive. There are multiple attachments to use, including male strokers, suction cup dildos, and pocket pussies. In addition, the app’s capabilities open your world to new possibilities. Overall, my colleagues thought there was something for everybody.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Our main concern was the noise. As anticipated, the machine was loud, and people looking for a discreet toy would have to look elsewhere.

In addition, it was expensive, and not many people would be excited to fork out $599 for a self-thrusting toy. If you want a hands-free experience but are on a budget, check out our list of all the thrusting dildos we tested.

Why Hismith 4.0 is the highest-rated sex machine:

  • Versatility: The reviewers highlighted versatility as the main motivation for ranking it at the top. “There was no end to the number of settings and adjustments we could make to ensure we get the most out of the toy,” said Sandra Larson. “I’ve used numerous sex machines, but the Hismith’s versatility stood out.” Everything from the thrusting length to the height and angle of penetration, customizing the experience was bliss. You can also use different sex toys with the Hismith, including strokers, dildos, and pocket pussies. Other designers take notes!
  • Settings: Another highlight was the powerful motor, which was second to none. The thrusting has a torque-oriented approach, and it felt like the motor could go on for hours without caving in. We’ve reviewed dozens of models over the years, and none have come close to the sheer power. “I’m sorry to be that guy, but the machine is overkill,” stated Sandra Larson. “The motor felt like it could power a treadmill, and the whole setup looked like an exercise bike with a dildo on one end.”
  • Build Quality: Lastly, the build quality was phenomenal. The solid aluminum alloy bars felt stable even at the highest setting. We cranked the volume to the maximum (100), and the only thing notable was slight shaking. Unlike its predecessor, the machine maintained stability and remained grounded, a testament to the impressive build quality. The included dildos were made from body-safe silicone, promising durability regardless of the intensity of use.

2. Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy: Our Budget Pick!

Velvet Thruster Mini TeddyVelvet Thruster Mini Teddy

Why we love Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy:

Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy is our recommendation if you’re looking for an inexpensive sex machine. The self-propelling dildo only costs $159 – $166, a considerably low price considering most products on this list cost $500+.

Besides the pricing, the testers liked that Mini Teddy was portable and easy to handle. “Unlike full-sized fuck machines, I could hold it in my hands and regulate the thrusting action much more quickly”, our product tester Angela Kempf reported. “It also came with a strong suction cup base for hands-free play (image below). The harness-compatible base made the thrusting dildo perfect for strap-on and pegging play fans”, Angela continued.

Mini Teddy also has a practical suction cup that performed great during the testing. The team tested it on various surfaces, and it held on well as long as it was smooth. They found that the suction cup was more robust when positioned vertically than horizontally, and adding a drop of water on the inside enhanced the suction strength.

Everyone agreed that the thrusts were vigorous, and beginners might have to stay away from the Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy. “There was no warming up, an essential part of building up to the big orgasms”, our lead product tester, Sandra Larson, wrote in her test report. “Instead, the thrusts go ham out of the gate, and you’ll have to prep yourself before turning onto Teddy”, Sandra added.

Closeup of the shaft and tipCloseup of the shaft and tip

The dildo’s 2.5″ thrusting length complements its 5″ usable length and 1.5″ diameter well, which we believe makes it suitable for the majority of consumers. With realistic detailing in the form of a veined shaft and lifelike head (image above), we found the dildo reasonably easy to use while remaining exciting and thrilling.

Unfortunately, Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy’s deep-lying thrusts might not be ideal for clitoral stimulation, especially for folks with sensitive bits. However, if you can achieve vaginal orgasms from internal stimulation alone, the dildo will be perfect. It has a good range of 6 intensities to explore. In addition, the intuitive 2-button interface (image below) makes it easy to regulate the thrusting speeds.

Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy's control buttonsVelvet Thruster Mini Teddy's control buttons

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the deep thrusts might be too much for the clitoris. And even with the suction cup base that frees your hands for external stimulation, you’ll have to pair the thrusting dildo with a clit vibrator for the best results. In addition, the thruster is noisy. It sounds like a sewing machine with an annoying whirring noise.

Why Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy is our budget pick:

The reviewers expressed their love for the thruster’s ease of use, realistic detailing, and tapered design that simplified penetration and made it ideal for most users. In addition, it performed very well in the following areas:

  • Price and Value: For $159, the Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy is the most affordable sex machine money can get you, especially considering most devices cost more than $500.
  • Flexibility: We also loved the suction cup base that freed the hands, letting you show some love to the clitoris with your fingers or a clit vibrator for intense dual stimulation.
  • Settings: Other impressive features included the intuitive 2-button interface and multiple thrusting speeds, which received an average score of 92%.

If you want to see what Mini Teddy looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our complete review of Velvet Thruster Mini Teddy here.

  • Material: Silicone
  • Diameter: 1.5″
  • Insertable Length: 5″

  • It has a strong suction cup base for hands-free fun.

3. Motorbunny Buck: Highest-Rated Saddle Machine!

Motorbunny BuckMotorbunny Buck

Why we love Motorbunny Buck:

Motorbunny Buck came out on top among all the saddle sex machines we reviewed. The 2nd generation features incredible structural and functional improvements, including a thrusting feature, non-porous silicone attachments, and a right-angle wedge. You can see all the parts in the image below.

The attention to detail really came through in testing. “The saddle-style design feels well put together, and the motor offers something called ‘buzz’ and ‘buck’ modes, letting you mix and match for clitoral and G-spot stimulation,” Rachel Sommer noted.

The primary reason we put it at the top was the amazing selection of attachment options. Buck has both thrust and G-thrust movements, with the former mimicking in-and-out penetrative sex and the latter moving the attachment back and forth inside the vagina so that it feels like someone’s tapping your G-spot with their finger. Just wow!

We especially appreciated the oomph that came with the vibrations. “I think of myself as a well-versed vibrator user, but I felt the kick from using the Buck”, Sandra Larson told me. “I doubt anyone will leave the experience wishing for more power.”

The Vac-U-Lock attachmentThe Vac-U-Lock attachment

Besides the multiple attachments, we liked that the designers included four eyelets: two for the wrist and two for the ankles. While it might not be the most restrictive we tested, it was an excellent addition for kinky couples. With numerous G-spot and clitoral stimulation attachments and a Vac-U-Lock adapter (image above) that made it easy to switch between the attachments and even use Doc Johnson products in our vast collection.

The package also came with a classic dual-dial controller (circled in red below) with a buck and buzz toggle. We found that the wired control made Buck ideal for coupled play.

The sex machine with the app and remoteThe sex machine with the app and remote

The testers also appreciated its compatibility with the practical smartphone app (circled in blue above) for simplified close-range and long-distance play. The mobile app even added a gamification feature, unlike anything else we’ve experienced. In addition, camgirl models can use the incentive-based tipping system to keep their audience engaged while raking in profits.

Finally, Motorbunny Buck came with a right-angle wedge (image below) that made it easy to switch between girl-on-top and doggy-style sex positions. Besides offering more flexibility, we thought the wedge made it ideal for people with disabilities because of the added grip and balance.

The device in doggystyle positionThe device in doggystyle position

Minor issues we found during testing:

My main concern was the TPE attachments that come with the Vac-U-Lock bundle. The material is porous, which makes cleaning and maintenance tedious and time-consuming – silicone would have been better.

Buck was also noisy, with a characteristic rattling noise that doesn’t go away even at the lowest settings. Like the Lovense sex machine, it can be too loud, especially on max settings – you might have to do some explaining to your neighbor.

Why MotorBunny Buck is our favorite saddle sex machine:

Motorbunny Buck topped the rankings for the saddle sex machines we reviewed. And even with the annoying rattling noise, the unique thrust and G-thrust attachment movements stood out. It also scored highly in the following key decision-making factors:

  • Build Quality: My colleagues gave Motorbunny Buck maximum points for the build quality, which we felt was better than its closest competitor, the Cowgirl Premium. The silicone attachment also made it stand out from the competition.
  • Stimulations: Motorbunny’s robust motor was another highlight of the review. It’s also the only product with thrusting attachments, making it the top choice in the stimulation category (total score: 94%).
  • Special Features: With numerous positives like the multiple attachments, Vac-U-Lock compatibility, dedicated mobile app, and extra bells and whistles like camgirl integration, Buck is the top-performing saddle sex machine!

If you want to see what Motorbunny Buck looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our complete Motorbunny Buck review here.

  • Material: Silicone
  • Measurements: 12.49″ L x 13.24″ W x 10″ H

Pros:

  • It can also double as a sex position enhancer.
  • Silicone-made attachments – standard.
  • The stainless-steel eyelets promote restraint play.
  • Multiple attachments are available.
  • You can control it with the wired controller or the mobile app.

4. Lovense Sex Machine: App-Controlled!

Lovense sex machineLovense sex machine

Why we love Lovense Sex Machine:

Although the Hismith 4.0 topped our overall scores, the Lovense machine took the win in one area: app control. For long-distance play or anyone who prefers the ease of managing things from a phone, it’s a strong contender.

There’s also a physical dial (shown below) for times when grabbing your phone isn’t an option. The app itself brings extra features like music sync, wide-ranging customization, and the ability to link with other Lovense toys for multi-device sessions.

The remote controlThe remote control

Another feature we appreciated was the double-thrusting design, with synchronized self-thrusting rods on either end. This way, two people can enjoy it at the same time! “I found it as amusing as it was resourceful. Jessica and I gave it a shot, and while it took some time to get used to, we enjoyed the rare experience”, Rachel Sommer commented.

The box came with two adapters, making the Lovense machine quite versatile. The team found that the adapters made it easy to switch between different attachments, including the two included silicone dildos – 5.43″ and 6.3″ (you can see them in the image below). With Vac-U-Lock compatibility, we used numerous dildos in our sex toy collection without a fuss. Sweet!

The two Vac U Lock dildosThe two Vac U Lock dildos
Like the Hismith fuck machine, you can regulate the rumbles with a wired dial controller or a dedicated mobile app. The testers loved the classic knob design on the controller, but they thought the smartphone app made the experience better. It significantly simplified close-range and long-distance control. In addition, the app offered multiple control options, including music sync and unlimited customization.

We’re happy to report that the Lovense sex machine was up there with the most powerful products we reviewed. Its turbo gear motor packed a punch, and we wouldn’t expect someone to yearn for more robustness. You can see it with the cover removed in the image below, showing the interior with the motor and the thrusting mechanism visible.

Lovense sex machine with the cover removed, showing the internal mechanical partsLovense sex machine with the cover removed, showing the internal mechanical parts

Minor issues we found during testing:

Our main concern was the shaky nature of the operation. Things got erratic, and the machine thudded on the ground in high settings. And even when I placed a mat on the floor, the erratic movements were still evident.

Assembly also takes a few minutes and patience. In addition, you need to unscrew the steel rods and screw them back with the included Allen key to regulate the stroke length, adding unnecessary pauses that might affect the momentum.

Why Lovense is the best app-controlled sex machine:

The compatibility with the Lovense Remote app was positive among the reviewers. I’ve used the mobile app with my Lovense sex toys, and its responsiveness and flexibility are top-tier and better than the competition. In addition, Lovense received praise in the following categories:

  • Build Quality: We admired the power and solid stainless-steel build that made it perfect for new and experienced users. But please note it has some stability issues at higher speeds; therefore, it only received a medium rating of 74% in this category.
  • Versatility: While the included two dildos felt cheap, they’re a good choice if you don’t have a Vac-U-Lock-compatible attachment to use when you first unbox the Lovense. Even if you don’t like the design, you can use other dildos in your collection with the device– switching between different attachments is straightforward.

If you want to see what the Lovense Sex Machine looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

  • Material: Stainless Steel
  • Insertable Length: 5.43″6.3″
  • Stroke Length: Up to 4.5″
  • Speed: 300 strokes/minute”
  • Height: 17.73″

5. Hismith Pro Mini Sex Machine: Most Compact!

Hismith Pro Mini Sex MachineHismith Pro Mini Sex Machine

Why we love Hismith Pro Mini Sex Machine:

After putting several compact machines through their paces, it’s clear why the Hismith Pro Mini came out on top in this category. Its small footprint and ease-of-use scores were the highest in its price bracket. It delivers most of what the larger Hismith 4.0 offers, but at a noticeably lower cost.

The design made a strong impression with our testers. From its clean, modern appearance to the no-slip grips on the base, every detail seemed to make operation smoother. Just as important, the sturdy build kept it steady even at maximum speed—a feat many other devices couldn’t manage in our tests.

Closeup of the adjustment systemCloseup of the adjustment system

Another feature that makes the machine stand out is its phenomenal build quality. The metal bars felt solid (close-up in the image above), significantly improving stability, especially at higher speeds. Of course, it rocks a bit (like other sex machines), but it stays in place relatively well. In addition, the legs are wrapped in plastic, so you don’t have to worry about them getting nicked over time.

Among the models we tested, the Pro Mini had the fewest parts, which meant setting up was straightforward. The package also included a detailed manual that was easy to follow, so even a first-timer can get everything set up in as little as five minutes (I did it in under three minutes without instructions).

The opposite side of the machineThe opposite side of the machine

The Hismith Pro Mini delivers intense sensations that may be too much for someone brand new to sex machines. Like the other models in this lineup, it’s built for high-speed thrusting, and that’s exactly what it delivers. It ships with a fairly thick 7-inch dildo, though swapping in other attachments is an option.

Control is handled through the Hismith app, which our testers found quick to respond. Beyond simple speed adjustments, it offers features that can keep a session going far longer than planned. You can run it solo, hand over control to a partner, or even experiment with group play mode, where up to five people can sync their movements for a shared experience.

Closeup of the Klicloc systemCloseup of the Klicloc system

Other features that surprised us included the microphone mode, which responds to sound, and the shaking function, which lets you control the experience by shaking your phone. All in all, it’s a solid product in a small package. Perfect for budget-seekers or those with limited space.

Want another option? The Lovense Mini sex machine is a decent alternative for people looking for a more intuitive mobile app. Both products are a lot alike (you can see them side-by-side in the image below), and your choice will depend on personal preference. While the Pro Mini is more stable at high speeds, we found the Lovense mobile app much easier to use. In addition, it offers more possibilities, including a camming mode for camsite models. You can read more about the Lovense Mini in this review article.

Hismith 4.0, Hismith Pro Mini, and the Lovense Mini Sex MachineHismith 4.0, Hismith Pro Mini, and the Lovense Mini Sex Machine

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the non-slip grips on the feet only improve handling on hardwood and tiles. They don’t do much on carpets.

In addition, the Pro Mini’s reduced thrusting depth compared to its brother, Hismith 4.0, can be an issue for users seeking depth play.

Why Hismith Pro Mini is the best small sex machine:

  • Design: Among the models we tested, the Pro Mini was the sleekest sex machine. Its modern design and simplistic construction look enticing to the eyes, and it significantly simplifies setting up and disassembly. More importantly, the solid metal bars enhance stability so you can enjoy intense sensations without worrying about the device toppling over.
  • Versatility: Something else that makes the product stand out is its versatility because it’s compatible with multiple attachments. In addition, the Hismith mobile app simplifies the user experience and offers numerous play options depending on your situation. Standout features like the shaking mechanism and microscope mode let you regulate the thrusting speed by shaking the phone or using your sound, adding a new layer of technology that other machines don’t support.

Why we love Cowgirl Cone:

In a world where most sex machines are made for deep penetration, we found the Cowgirl unique because it focuses on delivering rumbly, intense vibrations. We also liked that it offers penetration as an option, making for a wholesome experience.

Compared to the other sex machines we reviewed, the Cone’s vibrations felt more powerful and rumbly. Even at the lowest setting, the low-frequency rumble was hard to ignore. According to Sandra Larson, it’s the strongest and most intense device in her collection. Its extensive range of twelve patterns and ten intensity settings allowed for better customization. We also thought it made Cowgirl Cone suitable for a broad range of users and scenarios.

The website claims the vibration motor churns up to 1,200 RPM, and we’re glad to report it lived up to the hype. “I never got to use its full power because that’d obliterate my sensitive clitoris, but I’m sure no one will be leaving expecting more,” says Sandra Larson.

Besides the intensity, the team looked into the versatility. We noted that the package included multiple attachments, allowing the user to switch between internal, external, and blended sensations. The Alamo attachment (image above), a 4″ insertable length dildo, looked quite realistic, with a smooth shaft, rounded heads, and lifelike balls.

The saddle attachmentThe saddle attachment

On the other hand, the saddle attachment’s wide, grindable surface made it perfect for straddling (image below). Our testers loved the small cone on the saddle attachment because it made it easy to dig into the clitoris and the vaginal opening for more precision. Our only concern was that there wasn’t an attachment for people seeking pinpoint external stimulation. The team thought the saddle was better suited for broader clit stimulation.

Design-wise, the compact piece proved more resourceful than other Cowgirl products, such as their premium sex machine. It won’t fit in your travel bag without taking up a bit of space, but the team found it compact and easier to carry around than other brands. “My partner and I also loved the cone-shaped design because it allowed us to use it without an attachment, giving us pinpoint sensations whenever we wanted,” says Rachel Sommer. “The wider saddle attachment was more suitable for broad sensations that spilled over to the perineum.”

The team found the suction cup base and waterproof design came in handy whenever they felt like getting wet. It held on firmly to different surfaces around the house, allowing for hand-free straddling.

Lastly, the team appreciated the multiple ways to regulate the vibration intensity. The 4-button interface on the front allowed the user to switch the patterns and increase the intensity. It even has a lightning-shaped button that lets you jump to the maximum strength and back to the prior pattern. We also noted that the remote control had the same button orientation as the built-in interface to make it foolproof. It also felt lightweight, and all that was needed to use it was to remove the paper from the battery compartment and press any button twice to turn it on and pair it with the machine.

The Cowgirl mobile app was relatively easy to use, except for the minor connectivity issues that resolved after unpairing and re-pairing. Like the remote control, it allowed for easier intensity regulation, with the added benefit of long-distance control. It also made it easy to create custom patterns and intensity settings.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the model goes for $350, a figure most reviewers described as too expensive. Is it worth it? Sure, but people on a limited budget might have to look for alternatives like the Velvet Thruster series.

Why Cowgirl Cone has the strongest vibrations:

  • Stimulations: The team loved the Cone’s powerful motor because it made it ideal for intense pleasure seekers. According to Sandra Larson, the low-frequency rumbles felt intense from the get-go, offering consistent sensations for external and internal stimulation. In addition, the testers thought the extensive range of twenty patterns and ten intensity levels made the device more suited to different people and scenarios.
  • Versatility: Something else we loved about the Cowgirl Cone was its adaptability to different sex scenarios. Whether you’re playing solo or with a loved one, the Alamo and saddle attachments help spread the vibrations evenly to the desired location. In addition, the dildo accessory has a flared base, making it anal sex-safe. And with three control options, handling was more straightforward than anticipated.

7. Shockspot: Premium & Luxury Models!

Why we love Shockspot sex machines:

Sex machines from the Shockspot brand are perfect for people who prefer premium and luxury models. While they are the most expensive on this list (several thousand ouch!), the all-stainless steel body and the attention to design details got high ratings across the board.

One thing we appreciated was that, unlike most models with a flywheel to convert rotation into a thrusting motion, Shockspot uses a linear motor to power the thrusts. Besides eliminating unnecessary noise, the fewer moving parts make it safer. This way, you won’t have to worry about hair or fingers getting trapped in the device during use.

Like cars, torque is essential, and not one sex machine comes close to the Shockspot’s 105-pound-inches torque. Most competing models can only push 20 pound-inches of torque, a huge difference that puts Shockspot a step ahead of the competition.

The Shockspot machines are available in 8 and 12-inch variants to help you make a better decision, mainly because the prices vary. There’s a dual thruster model for those looking to take their kink play to the next level.

Notably, it only weighs 23 lbs, which is lighter than other high-end devices. More importantly, it folds flat to simplify storage. My colleagues thought it was the most travel-friendly model as it easily fits in a medium-sized bag.

Shockspot comes with a Vac-Lock adaptor, allowing you to use it with any compatible dildo. We especially liked that the adaptor is made from stiff aluminum, so you can be sure it will hold onto the dildo well. Men can also use a Fleshlight adaptor to connect it with their favorite Fleshlight for hands-free stroking.

Lastly, we appreciated how easy it was to regulate thrust acceleration – you can take the thrusting action at your own pace with the standalone controller. It has a start/stop button and four knobs to control the speed, depth, max stroke, and smoothness, all combining to make the experience as human as possible.

Minor issues we found during testing:

The Shockspot Touch and Feel Software comes in a CD-ROM, which can be a bummer as most of the latest generation computers have ditched the CD-ROM drive for modern storage options like USB ports. I have an eighth-generation HP laptop with only a single USB port. And even my custom PC doesn’t have the traditional drive. I had to use my older laptop to install the software. The brand should change to something else, considering the technological developments.

Another concern was the price. The Shockspot machines cost $2,100 – $4,400, a considerably high price for most people. You might have to look elsewhere if you don’t have a few thousand dollars to spend.

Why Shockspots are our favorite luxury models:

Everything about the Shockspot machines stands out. The heavy-duty aluminum and stainless-steel foundation feels sturdy yet lightweight – 23 lbs, rendering it durable and easy to handle. But the following two factors are what made it our top premium choice:

  • Sizes: The testers loved that the Shockspots came in 8″ and 12″ variants with a double thrusting model for the extra kinky users. The variety spreads the nets further, making the fuck machine suitable for more people.
  • Multiple Control Options: The classic dial control simplifies handling. And for the technocrats, the software was better, offering more possibilities. You can also save your patterns for later use, a nifty feature that sets it apart from the competition.

Please read my comprehensive Shockspot review here.

  • Material: High-grade Aluminum
  • Length: 8 – 12″
  • Stroke Length: 0 – 8″

Pros:

  • A powerful machine with deep thrusts.
  • Classic dial control and computer software.
  • Vac-U-Lock compatibility means you can use it with different dildos.
  • Sturdy yet lightweight and foldable to simplify storage.
  • Fewer moving parts mean it’s a safer option.

Cons:

  • It’s the most expensive on this list – up to $4,400.
  • The software might be useless for people with computers that don’t have a CD-ROM drive.

But Why Should I Buy One?

There are numerous reasons why you should invest in a sex machine.

  1. Personally, the most compelling reason is the non-anatomical design that’s not discriminative of any gender. Think about it. There aren’t any gender requirements for these sex toys– you can enjoy one regardless of what’s between your legs.
  2. In addition, they are not just for solo play. No! Couples can make the most out of sex machines. After all, most come with a remote control for coupled play. Some even feature a dedicated mobile app for long-distance remote control.
  3. Another reason you might consider buying one is its enormous size. While some call them indiscreet, the large size means they can accommodate a huge motor, ultimately translating to more power. Unlike a regular sex toy, a fucking machine boasts enormous power, making it suitable for people looking for superior intensity.
  4. Lastly, they give you ultimate control over your sexual experience. Whether it’s the angle of penetration, speed, intensity, or depth, you have total control with a fucking machine. Some even feature a remote control so your partner can regulate the strokes for you, so you can enjoy full-on, intensive orgasms without lifting a finger.

 


How To Choose A Good Product

Like other sex toys, there are different sex machine types and sizes on the market. As you’d expect, choosing the perfect choice among a pool of options can be a headache. So, to simplify the experience, we have a few tips to get you through:

Materials & Durability

The build and material quality you go for will affect its durability. Prioritize stainless steel for thrusters and high-density foam for saddles.

The stainless steel part of a Hismith machineThe stainless steel part of a Hismith machine

For thrusting machines, I recommend you go for a sturdy choice that can hold its ground during use, even in high settings:

  • Hismith 4.0 is made from solid bars, adding to the self-weight that helps to keep it on the ground during use.
  • Likewise, KTM (Ken’s Twisted Mind) has a welded steel base for more balance.

Also, prioritize stainless steel when picking out thrusters – it’s more solid and durable.

For saddle sex machines, consider the maximum supported weight. I recommend going for the highest, especially if you plan to use it with a partner. Ensure your choice can support at least 400 lbs (Cowgirl Premium). And for the attachments, always go for body-safe and non-porous silicone ones. TPE is also suitable but porous, making cleaning and overall maintenance tedious.

Note: Avoid jelly and latex materials that might contain harmful softeners like phthalates.

Type of Pleasure

What pleasure are you seeking? Do you want stroking or thrusting action? Or maybe both?

There are different types based on pleasure preference. Thrusters are perfect for hands-free penetrative strokes, while saddles are great for a mix of vibration and penetrative sex.

In addition, the saddles’ rider-on-top design makes it easy to alternate between different attachments depending on your preference. They can also double as sex position enhancers during couple play.

So, consider the specific pleasure type and how much fun you want to explore with your new fucking machine and choose appropriately.

Pro Tip: If you’re going for intense deep thrusting action, I suggest a dildo attachment with a solid inner core and smooth outer cover. And for G-spot stimulation fans, pick a slightly curved model with a pointed tip for accurate targeting.

Sex Machine Attachments

There are numerous attachments available for use with different sex machines. Whether you want a slim silicone dildo for depth play or a thick option for a more filling experience, you can always customize your experience with the appropriate attachment.

Some attachments even help turn an ordinary penetrative saddle machine into a fully-fledged clitoral massager or a curved dong for stimulating anal play. So, consider your pleasure preference based on what attachments you can use with a specific model.

Special Features

Different devices have varying features to amplify your solo or coupled sex experience. For instance, some are super flexible with numerous compatible attachments – allowing you to transform them into a completely unique device in seconds.

Besides wired and wireless remote controls, mobile control is another special feature, perfect for long-distance relationships. A dedicated smartphone app lets your partner regulate the speed, intensity, and penetration angle from miles away.

Some, like the Motorbunny Buck, come with a few restraint points for true BDSM fans. You can restrain your partner with cuffs for complete bondage play.

Power

How much power can the sex machine of your dreams churn out? Most devices have powerful motors to power your dildos’ up-and-down movements all night. However, the power varies from one model to another.

And for thrusters, a difference in the motor’s power might mean an underwhelming impact, especially if you plan on using massive fantasy dildos for attachments. So, consider the thrusting power in relation to your preferred attachments.

Budget

How much bank are you willing to break? Unlike most other sex toys, sex machines are expensive, and you might have to dig a little deeper for a quality and durable model.

The prices range from $260 for a simple, portable model to $2,000 for a full-on sex machine with extra bells and whistles like mobile control, 1,000+ RPM, and interchangeable silicone attachments.

Of course, materials, power, flexibility, and power determine the price. So, consider all these variables and buy something that’s perfect for your needs and budget.

Storage

While storage is always a pain in the ass, some are easier to put away than others. Consider how easy it is to assemble and tear down specific devices before buying. Do you have the closet space, or do you need one made before the package arrives?

Handheld models usually come with a storage bag, which can be helpful, especially when traveling and you want to tag the auto sex machine along with you.

Noise

Sex machines are noisy, but the noise level varies from model to model. For instance, Hismith 4.0 is comparatively quiet for such a powerful device (you can see me testing the sound level with a decibel meter below). So, pick the most discreet option, especially if that’s a primary concern.

Pro Tip: If you have a hardwood floor, consider using a rubber mat to reduce the rumbling impact and kill the noise.

 


How To Use A Sex Machine?

Note: Sex machines are advanced adult toys, and you must take great care when using them. Any action you take upon the information on this website is strictly at your own risk, and we will not be liable for any losses, injuries, or damages. Learn more.

How you use your sex machine depends on the type, size, and attachments used. For instance, you don’t expect to use a handheld model like a Sybian.

However, some tips apply to most, if not all, sex machines. For instance, always place the device on a flat, firm surface for maximum steadiness. You don’t want it jumping all over during use – it can fall over and get damaged or even poke you somewhere you won’t like.

  1. For starters, ensure you’re familiar with the controls. Cycle through the settings without mounting the device so you know which button controls what functionality. Even after learning, use it alone before handing your partner the controls. Doing so ensures you’re comfortable with the machine and, more importantly, know what movements are most pleasurable.
  2. Once it’s well-positioned and you’re familiar with the controls, relax your body and mind and get yourself ready. Like sex, consider taking a warm bath, putting on a calming music playlist, or lighting scented candles.
  3. The most effective lube for sex machines is a water-based lubricant, so apply a generous amount to yourself and the attachment to reduce friction and enhance a realistic experience.
  4. Lastly, start with the lowest settings and slowly acclimatize as you get used to the experience. Also, alternate between different attachments to enjoy the different possibilities and experiences.

Note: Sex machines are a reserve of experienced sex toy users. Practice moderation at all times, especially if you’re a beginner. Always read the instruction manual before assembly and use.

Using Them For Anal Sex

Using a sex toy machine for anal sex doesn’t have to be complicated. After all, the only difference is that you might need a smaller-sized attachment for anal penetration. Plus, you’ll need more lube than with vaginal sex to reduce friction and make the experience more realistic.

Doggy and missionary sex positions might be the only feasible choices for thrusting models. To get the correct elevation, you might have to regulate the angle and height.

For saddle models, the rider-on-top is the preferred position. You can also turn the device on its side for a more ‘thruster-like’ doggy-style position – just make sure it’s stable enough to avoid it toppling over.

Note: For couples sharing the machine or singles using it for anal and vaginal penetration, clean the attachment thoroughly between uses to avoid transferring infections to the vagina.

What Positions Are Most Effective?

Missionary: This is the best position for sex machine sex, especially if you’re using the device yourself. Position the device in front, lie down, and scooch back so the thrusts hit your sweet spots. Depending on whether you like deep thrusting or slow, shallow shots, you can always switch positions.

Benefits: The most comfortable sex position, perfect for solo pleasure, ideal for slow, passionate thrusts.

Doggy Style: The sex position is perfect for thrusting sex machines. Simply lie on all fours and position yourself well in front of the device. You’ll also have to regulate the height and angle of penetration appropriately. In addition, have the remote controller within arm’s reach or hand it to your partner for hands-free orgasms.

Benefits: Perfect for deep thrusting. Double penetration is possible with appropriate attachments, and it’s excellent for handheld suction cup fuck machines.

Rider-on-top (cowgirl). It is suitable for saddle models like the Tremor. Unlike the previous two sex positions, you have more control over the thrusting depth and angle of penetration. And being that you can support your body weight and thrusting depth with your legs, it’s ideal for anal play.

Benefits: Ideal for anal sex, complete control, and perfect for trying with a handheld suction cup model.

Other sex positions include spooning and the three-legged stand, both perfect to use with handheld sex machines, preferably with a partner.

You can find many more sex machine positions in this guide.

 


How To Clean A Sex Machine?

Cleaning the sex machine can be time-consuming, especially if it’s massive. However, you don’t have to clean it after every use – just remove the attachment and clean it instead.

Of course, it depends on the material – as always, silicone is much easier to clean. A mild soap or toy cleaner and a warm water mix usually do the trick. You can also boil silicone attachments occasionally for disinfection’s sake.

Cleaning Sex Toys In The SinkCleaning Sex Toys In The Sink

For porous attachments like TPE dildos and clitoral stimulators, I recommend using a clean cloth to wipe them down before drying them. You can even use a condom to simplify your after-care experience.

For the fuck machine, use a clean washcloth to wipe off any visible dirt marks before storage. For saddle devices with a removable cover, take it off and clean it separately.

Check out this guide to learn more about cleaning different attachment materials.
