Is a Dildo Machine Worth It? Pros, Cons & Real Reviews

Sex machines are hard-working heroes that can boost any bedroom’s after-dark activities to new heights of power and pleasure, but with the rising cost of living, even the most adventurous folks still have budget and space constraints to consider.

If you’re keen to add more oomph to your playtime repertoire but don’t need a full-on sex machine for it, why not consider a dildo machine instead? These make for some of the best sex toys for women and men to use solo, but also work great as couples sex toys for versatile play, whether you’re single or partnered.

What is a dildo machine used for?

Just like a sex machine, a dildo machine thrusts a dildo back and forth automatically, letting the user enjoy being penetrated at a consistent depth and speed, hands-free. They make great sex toys for women, men, and non-binary folks who enjoy the feeling of thrusting penetration, and can also be enjoyed as couples sex toys if the two of you enjoy power dynamics (especially if there’s a remote control you can give the Dominant partner) or watching the penetration happen from a third-person perspective! Dildo machines can be handheld or mounted to flat, firm surfaces via a suction cup base for versatile fun, and some are even app-controlled for more ways to play!

Pros of using a dildo machine

Compact & portable size

A sex machine is normally a larger item, often requiring a fair bit of floor space (or potentially its own playroom) once it’s fully set up, which can also eat into your limited storage capacity if the machine is designed to be one solid, bulky piece forever. Even though many sex machines on the market nowadays can be assembled and disassembled without needing specialised tools, it can still be a bit of a hassle to have to rebuild it and take the whole thing apart every time you want to put it away in storage or need to hide it from visitors.

Enter the dildo machine, which is basically a mini sex machine and offers the same thrusting sensations as a sex machine but in a more compact size! Not only does this save on space (both during use and while in storage), it also means you can take your dildo machine on the go with you much more conveniently. This is perfect for moving the fun from the floor to the bed, up against a wall (if your dildo machine is suction-cupped), or to a whole new location beyond the bedroom…

Less intimidating for newcomers

At Sexyland, we’re used to seeing all kinds of weird and wonderful things around our stores, in the warehouse, and even at the office, but we know not everybody feels the same way about the bigger, potentially scary-looking toys like sex machines, especially if you’re a sex toy beginner. With that being said, even beginners have usually seen a dildo before (or can at least imagine what a dildo looks like fairly accurately), and dildo machines are a much more manageable size, making them a safer choice for first-time users.

Cheaper than full-size sex machines

The trade-off in size, of course, means that dildo machines are almost always more affordable than their full-sized counterparts, making them one of the most budget-friendly sex toys for women, men, and couples who don’t want to miss out on auto-thrusting thrills!

Runs on rechargeable batteries instead of wall power

There’s hardly much point in being a smaller, more compact toy if you’re still stuck in the same awkward spot on the ground, tethered by a not-quite-long-enough cable to a power socket in the wall. Luckily, almost all of the dildo machines available these days run on rechargeable batteries so you can just plug yours in to charge before play (or after if you’re so inclined), then detach the cable and jump straight into action once the battery has enough juice to get you off!

Cons of using a dildo machine

Less powerful, shallower thrusts than a full-size sex machine

Don’t get us wrong, dildo machines still pack plenty of punch considering their size, but if you’re after super-deep strokes and ultra-fast pounding, these may not be the best option for you. Full-size sex machines often use piston systems to fuel their thrusting motion and can be extended for longer strokes (8 inches and up) to fully submerge the dildo all the way inside you up to its base. Meanwhile, most dildo sex machines have a smaller piston inside an accordion-pleated structure that limits the maximum length the dildo can extend to, so even though thrusting speed and intensity is often on par with a larger sex machine, you’ll likely only be getting around 2 inches of depth per thrust.

May not be usable while charging

If you’re someone who waits until you get a low battery alert to charge a device, you may not like that many rechargeable sex toys won’t turn on when they’re plugged in to charge. This is a safety feature built into rechargeable batteries to prevent potential electrical hazards (like electric shocks, short circuiting, or overheating), and it means you might run the risk of your toy running out of power in the heat of the moment, or not being able to indulge every spontaneous urge to play with your dildo machine if you haven’t been keeping the battery topped up.

Limited dildo options

Larger sex machines sometimes have attachments available that let you use any dildo or suction-cupped toy of your choice with the machine, but dildo machines are often only compatible with the dildo they originally came with, or a limited range of attachments made specifically for that machine.
