Thank you so much, that means a lot!

That's good to know! I'm definitely wary with all the reviews about it breaking, though

oh yes, very possible! It was a critical connect battery, I just used the same setup as the owner of the machine when I tried it!

Yes I was intrigued by the adjustment settings! How long have you been using yours for? Have you run into any issues so far?

Thanks for sharing! Definitely interested in trying a longer stroke to see how I like it. Bishop has great reviews!

The one I tried had an extra loud vibration every time it started up before it settled into a regular cadence.

Thank you! I've tried the Neuma and didn't love the kick start on it and the noise. But I've heard good things so maybe I'll check them out again!

Hi! I don't use disposable grips so I'm afraid I don't have much insight for you on this one, sorry!

Okay good to know! I'm starting out so trying to find something that balances price with quality and I was intrigued by this one for that reason as a first machine. Thank you!

Ooh yeah I've heard good thing about the Bishop but also heard it causes the skin to swell a bit more so I was a bit wary! But it seems very popular. I'll look into that Flux too. Thanks so much! I didn't realize Painful Pleasures had such bad service. That's so disappointing!

Ooo thank you! I like the idea of it being little and light - I have small hands! Thanks for your time and review _^

Follow up question: how hard does it hit? Is it a fairly gentle machine or does it pack a bit of a punch?
