I would probably give this four stars realistically, but I want to balance out all of the one-star reviews. I think if there is a possibility an item will break, but it would be wonderful if it wasn't defective - buy it anyway and if it breaks, get a free replacement! I think that Amazon, if not the manufacturer, would be willing to provide that customer service.For me, this toy has been FANTASTIC. Admittedly, for the first few years, I used it very, very rarely, because I don't often desire internal stimulation during solo play, and I had another plug-in vibrator for clitoral stimulation. However once that one bit the dust, I discovered that this machine works GREAT for clitoral stimulation on its own - I just turn it on it's back and use the bullet by itself. So I ended up using this frequently over the last 6 months and have been just pleased as punch.What I love:- Strong vibrations. This is coming from someone used to using a Wahl plug-in massager as her primary play tool.- Easy off button on the bottom turns everything completely off with one touch. Very useful if you hear a door open suddenly!- Rabbit styling. This is my first and only rabbit and those ears do not mess around.- Size. Perhaps a little big and unwieldy when used as an insertable, but for clitoral stimulation I like having the handle to hold onto instead of having to hold on to the vibe itself, like you do with a bullet or egg.- Long lasting and long battery life. I bought it four or five years ago, and JUST NOW replaced the batteries it came with. (Mine came with Sony Cycle Energy NiMH (2000mAH) batteries; I was so impressed with them that these are the only batteries I buy now!)What I don't love as much:- As others have stated, the beads really are far too low down on the shaft to be felt when the toy is inserted. A shame. However, the head still does rotate, which on its own is a fun added stimulation on occasion.- Clear color. I bought the silver, and for some reason it just looks kind of... dingy. If I was buying it now I might get gold instead.
