I just received my Cone Vibrator and I'm very pleased. First of all, it comes in really cute Cone-shaped packaging that makes it stand out from your typical blister packs or other generic sex toy displays. The Cone Vibrator itself is made of high-quality silicone that is soft and somewhat squishy to the touch, yet covers a firm inner core.
The Cone Vibrator has some real heft to it (nothing overwhelming though.) It just looks and feels high quality. The battery cover on the bottom is coated in the same high quality silicon which gives the Cone a "no-slip" grip which is a nice touch.
The face of the Cone has only two buttons. The one on the right acts as an on/off switch when held for a few seconds, and is also a "quickie" button that brings the Cone to it's final, and arguably most powerful "orgasm mode." The left button cycles through the 16 different programs, and a red LED under the silicone skin blinks in accordance with the current vibe pattern. While this looks aesthetically pleasing, it would have been nice to have more buttons or the ability to switch to a specific pattern without having to cycle through all of them.
Maybe some sort of "hit the button 4 times for mode 4" type of system could have been worked out. It's not a terrible drawback, but because the Cone has so many different patterns the lack of dedicated buttons is more obvious than say, an 8-speed rabbit. The vibrations themselves are particularly interesting.
The Cone Vibrator has everything from low, dull throbs to high pitched, fast staccato beats. There are multiple patterns of escalation and pulsation, and there are so many patterns to choose from I'd be surprised if there wasn't something for everyone here. The vibes range from purr soft to numb-your-bits strong and everything in between, so if you like variation or absolutely need max power, I'd highly recommend the Cone. The vibrations are concentrated at the tip, but also flow throughout the entire body of the toy, given the user the ability to try different angles of attack for different amounts of sensation, something I plan on expirementing with a lot in the future.
One negative aspect of the Cone is that it can be very noisy, mostly due to the amount of power this thing outputs. I've found that it's far more subdued and quiet when being leaned on however, so if you need a whisper quiet toy this probably isn't for you...but at the same time if you enjoy the thought of smothering it you'll be better off than someone who only plans on gingerly touches.
The Cone Vibrator takes 3 C batteries and it really shows. I'd say this is my most powerful sex toy. I haven't had it long enough to kill the batteries, however, so I can't judge their longevity at this point.
Overall I think the Cone Vibrator is a wonderful sex toy. It's got an interesting packaging and shape, is made of high quality materials, and has more power and patterns than you can shake a stick at. The only real cons it has are lack of pattern-dedicated buttons, loudness, price and its large size. The shape is debatably a pro or a con, depending on your tastes. If you like mounting toys, it's probably a pro. If you prefer more portable options, the Cone isn't for you. I rate the Cone Vibrator as one of my best sex toys. It's certainly innovative enough. And not only is it fun looking, but it also backs up its pretty exterior with a powerful punch. This is definitely a luxury toy so I think its price is justified. You get what you pay for and with the Cone Vibrator you're getting quite a bit for your buck, so if that's the only thing that's putting you off the Cone I assure you it's money well spent!
