    Question Knockoff Hitachis?

    It's been a while since I've posted here.

    Anyway, I know it's unsafe to buy most cheap toys. But what about a Hitachi knockoff? I'm seeing tons of these on eBay, and I was wondering if any of you have bought any? If so, are they good? I'll fork over the $60 if they aren't, but I thought I'd at least ask around first. The knockoffs are about 1/2 price and say they have a Hitachi motor. I'm not saying I believe it, necessarily. But if someone tells me that they bought one and it's lasted them a while, well then, why not? Discount city!

    I have the Magic Massager for about $60 and it's top quality, sturdy and made very well. I've had the same one for at least a year and it still works great! Very powerful as well...I squirt for the first time ever with it...so yeah, I'd say it's just as good as the Hitachi.

    I'm not sure i'd get a fake hitachi so to speak, i would be personally more inclined to go for a reputable well known brand and see if they have any hitachi-style toys, e.g their own logo etc. I'm in the UK and lots of girls use the LoveHoney wand massagers (it's also pretty difficult to buy genuine hitachis here) so if you want a cheaper alternative i'd look at the toy companies you usually buy from or well known sellers :-)

    OR find one that someone else has and buy the same one as them to make sure it's going to be good..

    I'd just go with the brand name on this one. My first Hitachi lasted me 6 years.
    PinkCherry has the Hitachi for less than $60 and free shipping. Often they have discount codes you can search for also to get the price down even more.

    My store's got 'em for $54.95 and you can get $10 off by using coupon code TENOFF (orders of $50 or more only).

    That's a great deal! I'll be looking it over this evening.

    Also, I thought Vibratex was a similar brand to Hitachi, but not the same. My bad.

    I think what I heard was Hitachi wanted to distance themselves from the sex toy market so they stopped making the "Hitachi magic wand" and re-branded it without the Hitachi name. I could be wrong though, I can't find where I originally read it and my memory has been crap lately.

    P.S. Thought this picture would be relevant here

    That picture is wonderful. <3

    But seriously, who would want to distance themselves from the sex toy market? How sad.

    Default Re: Knockoff Hitachis?

    I found the article, it was in one of my sex toy wholesaler newsletters: http://sexuality.about.com/b/2013/06...magic-wand.htm

    A few snippets:

    It's still a Hitachi product. It still has the same quality, power, and speed. But for the first time in over 30 years, the Hitachi name is gone and the renamed Magic Wand Original has been updated.
    When counterfeit products began appearing on the market it made keeping the Magic Wand in production seem even less worthwhile. Fighting the knock offs is time consuming and expensive, and it's not clear how much of a priority one vibrator is for a company that builds satellites, water systems, and energy grids.
    So yeah, they just sort of wanted to stop mixing business with pleasure so to speak lol.

    I HAVE A FAKE ONE I have bought plenty of crap from ebay.
    Hitachis are the #1 fake item sold ON EBAY AND AMAZON .
    This is my SECOND one that is fake.

    1st was from Amazon
    2nd from Ebay
    looking for a deal.. I buy toys weekly from different places.

    Its getting me through as mainly a head massager and pussy prop until MY ORDER COMES IN FROM TSANI.

    LADIES CHECK YOUR CORDS! This is my 2nd electronic device that has frayed. I caught it this time.
    Thank god before I had another pussy blow out
    I have had the real Hitachi
    I have had another vibrating toy similar

    this time I ordered
    mainly bc of the reviews and IMO the Hitachi is huge.

    True story.. My mom bought me mine, because I accidentally put it on my Christmas wishlist instead of my camming wishlist.
    She was so excited to get me a back massager that would help with my back problems... Thanks mom...

    My mom is a very simple transparent lady.

    I dunno if it's a knock off, necessarily, but my Fairy Wand makes me see stars. I prefer the dial to the hi-lo switch setup, and the smaller size actually seems to eat up less of the vibe in the body - more intense vibration focused on the head of the toy, which is where I want it, thankssomuch. Also, it's small enough to hold in my tiny, freakshow hands. Amazon has some (for $30!?!) but they look a little meh to me, so I'm not comfortable linking them. But, yeah, hooray for wands! ;-)

    P.S. At my favorite sex shop, webcam performers are eligible for the "performer discount" on toys, not just clothes. Worth asking about, if you can?

    P.P.S. Oh, and the Lelo version? Utter crap. I sold so many of those things when I worked at a sex shop, and not one lady liked it for longer than a week. That's more of a public service announcement (read: rant), though.

    The furthest depths of under my bed is a graveyard of unwanted wands, I don't think I will ever go with something other than a hitachi now that I have one.

    You're right. I recently had a chance to visit the Liberator factory store in Atlanta, GA where they were having an erotic workshop and featuring the Magic Wand, except it was branded Vibratex. You know I had to say something! The employee explained how Hitachi didn't want their product associated with the sex industry at all...here's an interesting article on the subject: http://missmaggiemayhem.com/2013/05/...hi-magic-wand/

    I had an awesome wand, I don't know if I'd call it a knockoff though. I bought the 4 speed massager from Brookstone for $69. I could only go up to the third speed (if I was really in the mood) but it lasted me well over a year. I'm trying to be less destructive with my wands, like not leaving them plugged in for hours or overnight and trying not to bend the coated wire at the base.

    I talked to a girl at Fascinations and she told me that Hitachi is no longer putting their name on the Magic Wand because so many people are using them for sex and the Hitachi name doesn't want to be associated with sex toys. Different name, different box same old Hitachi.

    Not sure if this is the issue you are running into but thought I would share this information.
