I've always loved the Hitachi Magic Wand. After about 6 years of use, my old faithful died on me. I immediately over-nighted this puppy only to be greatly disappointed. It stopped working after the second use. Thankfully Amazon refunded me without the embarrassment of having to send it back. Then I ordered another one, thinking maybe I had just ordered a lemon the last time around but the new one lost power during use and didn't get the job done. I was greatly disappointed. The new wands were more light weight and they seemed cheaply made compared to my old, original wand. I will not use Hitachi anymore and I won't risk paying for another non working wand. Instead, I headed on over to the mall and stopped in at Brookstone and purchased the Brookstone personal massager. It was 80 bucks and ladies!!! OMG!! I found my new best friend. My husband is so relieved...Buy this instead:Personal Massager
