My verdict
Enter the world of state-of-the-art, motorized Scandinavian male masturbation with The Handy. From its big black box discreet packaging to the heavyweight apparatus that holds the cup-like ribbed sleeve that connects you to the unit via its 'TruGrip' band, really what doesn’t this jerk-offer do? Online you can hook up to the 'Handyverse' (QR Code included with the instructions) and synchronize the machine to video and VR headsets. In this mode, you can also have a partner manipulate your strokes and speed via remote control. Offline, it becomes a highly versatile masturbator with a bunch of speeds and vibration modes. And with no battery running the motor, you just plug the Handy in, then yourself, and away you go. While this might not be the easiest machine to fit on yourself, and it does tend to get a little heavy the longer you are in it, you pay for what you get here....one of the higher-end motorized male masturbators on the market today.
Pros
Solidly bult machine.
State of the art; hooks up to the Internet for interactive pleasure.

The Handy itself is pretty heavy, hard to get into more than a couple of positions.
Switches on Handy's face hard to manipulate and distinguish unless you are looking close.
On the high-end of price for male masturbator

The Handy Ultimate Handjob Machine Version 1.1 Penis Stroker
About the product
An older sci-fi fan will instantly think of the Monolith in 2001 when taking this heavy sex toy from its packing, but the Handy is a modern marvel for the eye...and the cock. It's surely a masturbator of the age, all sleek black, self-contained pretty much (save for the sleeve off its back that holds the actual cock sleeve...and you when you are in it). It is made to set yourself into as much up against, and whether you just manipulate the speeds and vibrations from the slightly raised toggle buttons on its face or you go all in and set yourself online for video prompting, once you're hooked up for the ride, the Handy won't let you go until it is fully finished with you.

This is nothing like those wiggly cock sleeves you buy for a couple of bucks, fuck a few times then they fall apart. Yes, the Handy has a sleeve (a nice, ribbed one actually) but it is simply the port for you here; the unit executes all the stroking that will blow your head off.
Design
Hard case packed in a discreet black box, secure TruGrip band around the back, a comfortable squishy sleeve that's ribbed nicely inside (might be a little snug for a guy really packing); this is a tight, solid masturbator that delivers exactly how it looks. I would have liked the buttons on the Handy's face to have been a little easier to toggle between my fingers. And although I know the Handy couldn't really have been made any lighter for what it is, my criticism with these machine-male strokers (especially one's with motors) is that after a while the things get heavy, even though it needs to be designed the way it is. One big bonus in the design is that the sleeve of the Handy is actually pretty easy to detach, wash and dry inside out, so the clean-up here is a joy. Inside that sturdy box you get the Handy itself, power unit w/plug, the sleeve and a "Quick Start," guide (inside that guide is the QR code and more instructions for getting online with this toy). All components are packed in hard cardboard structures, so this sex toy comes completely intact and ready-to-go with no assembly needed.
Experience
The Handy is a powerful and powered jerking-off toy. Given that, I thought I knew what I was in for, but I was surprised. This ain't your daddy's vibrator, that's for sure! First of all, the various speeds and vibrations here (I got through some of them on return insertions, there's more to come...and cum) pretty much sent me into orbit each time I used the Handy. Hooking up to the web to what they call the 'Handyverse' is another techno-tug extravaganza altogether! And when you do so, you have a remote-control mode a friend can use. Believe me, I am looking around already for a friend to help me out. Using this masturbator on or offline, both are mind-blowing. The drawbacks I found.... Firstly, when the stroking gets going things can get a little loud. You have to be careful who is near when you use the Handy unless you want somebody coming to give you a handy with this toy. Secondly, the Handy is heavy, and it takes a bit to fit into the thing and set it on yourself so you are comfortable. And you have to be careful, it does move fast when it gets going, I had to make sure I was locked in securely. Thirdly, there is a lot to do to get the Handy delivering the way it's meant to. Sure, the vibrations work fine and there are plenty of modes, but I just don't know if I am going to take this thing out, fit in, strap-on and power-up every time I want to whack it. But overall, this machine delivers consistent good strumming, it's plug and play (no battery or USB plug charging here) and the sleeve is just snug enough and stimulating.
Quality
This is a sturdy, top-of-the-line, modern-age male stroker. The quality of this unit, inside and out, from the strong little plug-in motor powering a bunch of vibrations and speeds, to the ability you have to hook the Handy to the net to the all-around construction of the motorized shaft and spongey sleeve you get yourself into, attached by the machine's never-let-you-go TruGrip band; this is a well-built machine of high-end construction. You do indeed get quality for what this is and for how much you pay for the Handy.
Price
Ok, here is where we separate the men from the boys...or just those of us who don't want to pay this much for solo pleasure. The Handy is a pricy unit, there's no denying this fact. Although you get a lot of 'stroke for your buck' with this jerking machine, there is no disguising the fact that up around the $200. price range, even with discounts or shopping around, this is a costly toy. But do you get what you pay for with the Handy? What it really comes down to is: Do you enjoy this kind of powered experience in exactly this way? If you answer yes to that question, then, yes, you are getting your money's worth with the Handy. It's just that a machine this well-built, that does all the Handy does, is going to cost what it costs. This is a great machine but prepare to plunk down a few bucks for the experience.

    VR is just an option for a more visual experience if you have it, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter at all, there are many websites that offer video synchronization for handy, such as faptap.net.

    Handy has been in the interactive segment of the industry for quite a while, and many websites support Handy's devices. The performance is reportedly quite good. The only issue is that you’ll need to purchase an additional stand, which allows you to sit or lie down comfortably while using your computer or phone for entertainment. It's awesome!

  • TENGA ARTE WEAVE

    One of the mini masturbators in the Tenga Arte line, the company’s WEAVE male jerker offer is fluffy and stretchy, perfect for encasing one’s erection and delivering all the extra stimulation for getting the job done. A thick cap-of-sleeve (bigger guys are only going to get so much of themselves into this thing) the chunky thick texture of the Weave offers whatever you want by fitting comfortably around your dick and offering as tight or as loose a tug as you manage with how tightly you squeeze. The Weave offers a more luxurious knitted pattern sensation than the other TENGA ARTE toys. It features a clear outer tube and inside sensation nubs rendered in what the company calls dual overlapping layers of "elastomer." Easy to clean by turning the Weave inside out and washing it, TENGA packages the thing with a unique and completely hygienic drying stand. If one is looking to add just that extra little bit of magic to one's solo tickling and doesn't like motorized vibes or big bad Fleshlights, this little TENGA wonder is for you.

To say Hello Cake is giving guys a whole lotta love bang here for the buck, would be an understatement of orgasmic proportions. As much as to increase one’s stamina, help build better erections, be used in foreplay with a partner, or for mind-blowing quick solo comes, the happy endings here, whatever your end might be, will be astounding. Quickly rechargeable, light, and small for travel, this hand-held masturbator gives you complete control. It's also easy to clean with soap and water which will see this stroker last a good long time. As head teasers, quick spot-on male masturbators go, Hello Cake makes a good showing here.

  • DYSO Impulsion Review: Quite the Machine for Quite the Session

    DYSO calls their Impulsion a “next-generation sex toy.” It features a 360-degree rotation, nine vibration modes, and eight rotating, all using body-safe materials and cutting-edge tech. But this jerk-off machine, resembling the handle-end of a lightsaber, is a heavy-duty (and heavy to hold) masturbatory sleeve set in a case. With an hour-and-thirty-minute charging time (and the charge lasting almost as long), this sex toy will give you exactly what you want. It's extremely customizable as you can adjust the experience, for however long you last. Certainly priced on the high-end of things, but still not so sky-high as some other motorized masturbators are. One needs to remember that in the end, this toy from DYSO is providing a squishy masturbatory sleeve inside a heavy case that is turned, twisted, and powered by a motor. If this is the kind of thing you’re into, DYSO delivers cock-rumbling fun with the Impulsion.

    Fleshlight Vina Sky Exotica Review: Crazy Twists for Big Orgasms

    The Vina Sky: Exotica sex toy from Fleshlight is a great staple to the Fleshlight collection. Beautifully designed, easy to use, and amazing to feel - this toy's got it all. There's no doubt about why this one is a fan-favorite. The internal tunnel takes you through so many twists and turns. That's what this toy is all about. You could definitely try rotating the toy around your shaft during use to get the most out of it. If you're a fan of Vina Sky, or you're really into pronounced ridges that'll twist around your shaft, then this is the toy for you.

    Tenga Flex -Great Beginner Toy

    The Tenga Flex in my opinion is a great beginners toy. I myself had only used one other sex toy prior to this one and I can confidently say the difference was night and day. It is easy to use, easy to clean, and definitely fun to use. My only real issue with the toy is how loud it is during use. At the top of the toy there is a little hole that when covered is supposed to mimic a suction feel, which in my opinion it didn't really make a difference, but when that hole is not covered there is a decently loud whooshing noise that come when using the toy. To some that may not be a problem but for those looking for discretion, this may not be the one for you. Another thing for me personally is the lack of visual appeal. The penis insert is just a white silicon hole, now for most that's not an issue but me personally I like the visual aspect of a toy.

    Lovense Max 2: A Fun Time for 2

    The Lovense Max 2 puts a spin on strokers. This toy contracts around your dick with air to recreate the pulsating walls of an actual vagina/mouth. This creates a tight feeling that can get pretty intense sometimes. The toy also vibrates, which can feel incredible if you're looking for that feeling. The toy is pretty simple to control, but you can take it to the next level by letting a partner control it for you via the Lovense app. Some people might not like the tightest settings of this toy, and people looking for an "automatic" stroking experience should look elsewhere.

    The Lovense Gush will leave you leaking!

    Owning the Gush for 8 months and using other Penis Vibrators and strokers, I can say that the Lovense Gush that offers a comprehensive package consisting of great build quality, ease of use, decent sensations, remote connectivity and smart in-app controls that cannot be matched by similar shaped toys. The closest competitor is the Hot Octopuss which is a MUCH more powerful toy with half the features. You can stroke with it while cycling through the patterns or wear it on your penis to tease and eventually achieve a hands-free orgasm- It's the male equivalent of the infamous Lovense Lush "G-Spot" toy that most streamers/cammers use while chatting or doing public, voyeur like videos (You know the ones). It is priced at a premium which is justified to me based on high build quality , user-friendly design and feature-rich apps offered by Lovense such as Remote Control, Vibemate toy and A.I video-syncing and pattern sharing. While it is versatile, some penis owners with desensitized glans may find the vibrations are not as powerful unless it's cranked all the way up in vibration intensity, making the toy a bit loud. If intensity is your goal, look for the Hot Octopuss instead I recommend it for beginners and veterans. It's easy to use, and unlike most strokers and penis vibrators it doesn't require a lot of of lube. Veteran sex toy owners can find something that tickles their fancy whether it's the remote control, opportunity for hands-free orgasms or plethora of app features. It excels for users who want a slow-burn, teasing-filled orgasm or those into into edging and longer sessions- not really for ones seeking out a quick session, unless you're willing to stroke with it. If you can justify the price and you're a techie that likes fiddling with the app settings, vibration patterns and syncing the toy with a partner or Vibemate's AI Sync interests you- It's a fun toy! If you don't fancy smart features, you can find a similar shaped toy elsewhere.

    Fleshy Thrust Sync is cutting edge

    The Fleshy Thrust Sync is a well-built toy that offers an automatic stroking feature with 8 exciting modes with varying speeds, stroke-depth in addition to 4+ vibration modes and the option to heat the sleeve. The Fleshy Thrust Sync is powerful and will get you off in no time, almost too fast if you're not careful, so use lots of lube to reduce the friction and let it glide over you. The Fleshy Thrust Sync's standout feature is it's truly immersive, sync-to-video cutting edge AI Sync Video connectivity using the Faptap platform. Thrust Sync's ability to sync and create an immersive experience by recreating the stroke patterns is really something else- whether it's Fellatio, Intercourse or prodding is pretty impressive as the Faptap AI sync is able to faithfully reproduce the appropriate speed, stroke depth and reciprocating motion that is shown on screen. If you're looking for an automatic stroker that has the ability to sync to your favorite videos and other videos on popular adult video sites, look no further- the Fleshy Thrust Sync has you covered. While the toy is a great experience, please note it is rather large and requires a hand to constantly keep it in place, not allowing for a "hands free" experience. The largest point of criticism for an otherwise amazing toy is that it does get fairly loud as the mechanical whirs and actuation sounds between the automatic stroking occurs- it only gets worse with speed. I recommend the Fleshy Thrust Sync for users who want a solid Automatic Stroker who doesn't mind the noise and for users who want to watch their favorite videos and get closer to feeling the action- I can't imagine how great this toy would be with VR!

    Trojan's Double Delight: A Ring That Hits Both Sides

    Alright, here’s the lowdown on the Trojan Dual Pleasure Vibrating Ring—and I’m going to be honest with you. If you’re looking for a mind-blowing, super-intense vibration, this might not be the toy you’re looking for. But if you want something that’s fun, easy to use, and offers shared pleasure for both partners, then it’s definitely worth checking out. The dual-vibrator design is where this ring takes the cake. One side provides some solid clitoral stimulation while the other gives you that extra buzz down below. The 8 vibration intensities give you plenty of options to play around with, and while the vibes are more on the moderate side, there's actually a great mix in there that really adds to sexual experiences. Personally, I loved how the sensations were enough to add satisfying bouts of excitement without feeling like I was out of control. For the wearer, it's restrictive enough to support a firmer erection, and the buzzes add that little extra without any discomfort (the silicon actually feels great!). The ring stays in place during play; however, it's a bit bulkier than I expected, and it can be awkward in certain positions. While the ring is easy to put on, it doesn’t give you much flexibility in placement and is best worn at the base of the penis. But overall, I’d say this toy delivers on what it promises.

    Kiiroo PowerBlow Review: Does it suck?

    The Kiiroo PowerBlow is a toy extension that doesn't really do it for me. The toy is supposed to mimic a blowjob, but it doesn't feel like it at all. If you like suction, then this IS probably one of the best toys for you. I personally like everything that goes into a blowjob, including the moisture, stroking sensation, and light suction. I appreciate how I was able to adjust the toy's suction on the fly. It added a bit of fun to my stroking but nothing that I couldn't get from somewhere else at a more affordable price.

    Tenga Puffy Latte Brown

    The Tenga Puffy is a unique manual masturbator with a soft outer case. It is a little bit bulky for my tastes and I am still undecided on whether or not I want to keep this in my personal collection but if you don't mind the bulkiness and want a high quality product then I recommend this for you.
