Anal Fantasy Vibrating Ass Fucker: review

Anal Fantasy Vibrating Ass Fucker in brief — this is what it says in the specification

Anal Fantasy Vibrating Ass Fucker is an anal dildo with a suction cup, a built-in vibration motor, and a spring-loaded thrusting function. The manufacturer is Pipedream Products, and the product belongs to the Anal Fantasy Elite Collection sub-range. The manufacturer’s article number is PD4782-23, and the black variant bears EAN 603912755121 — the same number that is printed on the cover of the user manual and that appears in the variant table on the manufacturer’s own product page.

The specification looks like this according to the manufacturer’s user manual: total length 19.0 centimeters in the retracted position and 21.0 centimeters in the extended position, insertion length 12.5 centimeters, width 3.4 centimeters, and a suction cup base of 8.9 centimeters. The material is stated as ABS plastic and Elite Silicone. Eleven vibration functions are controlled by a single button. The battery is a sealed lithium-ion battery that charges via a magnetic cable with USB A on the other end. Charging time is stated as 1.5 hours and operating time as 40 minutes. The warranty is one year.

And then the line that matters more than any other in this review: the manufacturer’s user manual states the water-resistance class IPX0 — meaning there is absolutely no protection against water — with the explicit addition that the product must not be exposed to water or liquids. It says plainly on the Swedish page in the manual. At the same time, the manufacturer’s EC declaration of conformity for the same article number states the line “IEC 60529 IPX7”. So two documents from the same manufacturer say the opposite thing about the same product, and it is that contradiction on which the decision about this product is based. We’ll come back to it.

In Sweden, the article is sold by five stores at prices between 549 and 959 SEK, and four of them had it in stock at the price check on 12 September 2026.

What “spring-loaded shock function” actually means

This is by far the most common misconception about the model, and it comes straight from the store texts. Several Swedish product pages describe the shock function as something the product does: Vuxenkul writes about “a mechanical shock function that provides strong and intense shocking movements,” and Joyland calls the movement “penetrating.” The wording leads one to think of a motor-driven thrusting vibrator—that is, a product where a motor drives the shaft back and forth under its own power.

The manufacturer’s own user manual describes something else. In step six of the manual, the instruction says: let the spring-loaded shock function respond to your natural movements. The function list calls it “spring-loaded shocks for natural feedback.” And the package print says “Amazing Spring-Loaded Action!” — not thrusting, not motor-driven. All that can be established is that the thrust is passive: a spring in the grooved part of the shaft pushes back when you or your partner push it in, and it’s the movement energy from you that drives the mechanism. The motor in the product drives the vibration, not the thrust.

The difference isn’t academic. A motor-driven shock function works completely without any involvement, and that is the whole point of attaching the product to a wall or the floor. A spring-loaded shock does nothing at all if nobody moves. That means the product belongs in a completely different category than, for example, the manufacturer’s own Gyrating Ass Thruster, where the manufacturer expressly states a motor-driven shock-and-rotation plunger. So expect a dildo with vibration and yielding, not a machine.

How much the spring allows it to give is indirectly shown by the manufacturer’s own measurements: the difference between the retracted position of 19.0 centimeters and the extended one of 21.0 centimeters is 2.0 centimeters. Several Swedish stores instead state 3.3 centimeters—both Vuxen and Joyland print that figure. The manufacturer publishes no separate specification for stroke length, and when the stores’ 3.3 centimeters is weighed against the manufacturer’s own difference of 2.0 centimeters, it’s the manufacturer’s measurement that carries the most weight.

Anal Fantasy Elite or Anal Fantasy Collection—what’s what?

Pipedream has two parallel anal product lines, and they get mixed up in almost every Swedish store text. Anal Fantasy Collection is the base series. Anal Fantasy Elite Collection is the more expensive series, where the manufacturer uses the designation Elite Silicone for the material. This product belongs to the Elite series: the manufacturer’s product page is called “Anal Fantasy Elite – Vibrating Ass Fucker,” and the EC declaration describes item 478223 as “Anal Fantasy Elite Vibrating Ass Fucker – Black”.

It matters less that Swedish shops shorten the name to “Anal Fantasy Vibrating Ass Fucker”, or just “Vibrating Ass Fucker”, as long as the article number is correct. This is what it does: Vuxen lists PD4782-23, Vuxenkul prints the EAN 603912755121 straight in its specification table, and both point to the same article that is described in the manufacturer’s documentation. If you want to be sure you’re comparing the right product between shops, the EAN number is the only field that you can always rely on.

Material and build quality: Elite Silicone over ABS plastic

The material issue is the only characteristic of an anal product that can’t be compensated for with experience or care. It determines whether the product is still hygienic after three years, and it’s especially important here because an anal product comes into contact with the gut flora every time it’s used.

Where the silicone sits and where the plastic sits

The manufacturer’s user manual specifies two materials: ABS plastic and ultrahygienic Elite Silicone. Joyland states the same split in its specification table — silicone and ABS plastic. That means that, in practice, the shaft with its grooved surface and the ridged mid-section is silicone, while the suction cup and the housing that contains the motor, battery, and button are hard plastic. That’s not a drawback in itself. The suction cup must be stiff to hold, and a silicone battery housing would be worse, not better.

Silicone is a non-porous material. A non-porous surface can be cleaned, because there are no microscopic cavities where residues can be left behind, and that is the single most important property of a material that’s meant to lie against the mucous membrane. ABS plastic is non-porous in the same way. So far, the material choice is good.

What makes the construction harder to care for isn’t the materials but the geometry. The manufacturer’s own product images show six clearly defined ring-shaped folds in the telescoping section between the shaft and the base, and that’s exactly where the spring mechanism works. Each fold is a groove that collects lubricant and residue, and where the silicone meets the plastic housing there’s a seam. The manufacturer provides no information about whether the shaft can be detached, and the product therefore can’t be disassembled for cleaning. That makes the cleaning method — which we’ll come back to — a real drawback rather than a formality.

Phthalates, REACH, and what a declaration of conformity actually confirms

Phthalates are a group of plasticizers used to make plastic, above all flexible PVC, pliable. The Swedish Chemicals Agency describes them as substances that can affect the endocrine system and make reproduction harder, and several of them are therefore restricted or banned within the EU in a large number of products. Intimate products are a recurring category in supervision, because they contain flexible plastic against skin and mucous membranes.

This product is actually better documented than most in its price category. The Swedish stores state that the material is ftalate-free — Blush Me, SexleksakerOutlet and Joyland all make that claim — but that’s store text. The manufacturer’s EC declaration of conformity goes further and names the tests performed: article 478223 is declared in relation to Regulation 1907/2006/EC (REACH) with ftalate content tested according to BS EN 14372, against post 51 and 52 in Annex XVII to REACH, and additionally against California’s Proposition 65 using the CPSC-CH-C1001-09.3 method for DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIDP and DnHP.

That’s the difference between a marketing claim and a documented declaration. The same declaration also covers the RoHS directive 2011/65/EU with testing according to IEC 62321 for lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and two groups of brominated flame retardants, the WEEE directive for electronics recycling with labeling according to EN 50419, the EMC directive 2014/30/EU, and UN38.3 for safe air transport of lithium batteries. For a product in this price range, it’s an unusually complete exercise in paperwork, and that’s a reason to take it into account.

The reservation is that the document is dated 1 August 2021 and signed by Jackie Delshad, Head of Supply Chain. So it’s not a new certificate, and it’s the same document that — which we’ll return to — contains the IPX7 information that the instruction manual contradicts.

Dimensions: 19 to 21 centimeters — and five different answers about how long it is

This is the most concrete benefit of checking all the stores instead of just the cheapest one. Five Swedish stores sell the item, and they list five different sets of measurements for it. None of them matches the manufacturer’s instruction manual exactly.

• Manufacturer’s instruction manual: total length 19.0 cm retracted and 21.0 cm extended, insertable length 12.5 cm, width 3.4 cm, base width 8.9 cm.
• Manufacturer’s packaging print: insertable length 6 in. (15.2 cm), width 1.4 in. (3.6 cm). So it’s manufacturer vs. manufacturer.
• Vuxen: insertable length 15.2 cm, insertable width 3.6 cm, total length 30.5 cm in the product text — and 33.8 cm in its own quick facts box on the same page.
• Joyland: penetrating length 12.7 cm, diameter 3.2 cm, length 21.5 cm.
• Vuxenkul: diameter 3.4 cm, length 21 cm, insertion length 15.2 cm.
• Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet: total length 34 cm, length 15 cm, diameter 3.5 cm — the same text in both stores.

The range for the total length therefore goes from 19 to 34 centimeters for an item with a single EAN. It’s not different variants; it’s the same product described with different documentation. The manufacturer’s manual is the freshest and most detailed source—it lists the pole spacing and pole diameter on the charging connector, and is therefore written for the actual product—and it’s the one that applies in the table at the bottom: 21 centimeters in the extended position, not 30, 33.8, or 34.

The interesting deviation is the one between the manufacturer’s own documents. The manual states an insertion length of 12.5 centimeters and a width of 3.4 centimeters. The packaging’s own print indicates 15.2 centimeters and 3.6 centimeters. That explains why Vuxen and Vuxenkul both land on exactly 15.2 centimeters: they’ve read the packaging, not the manual. The difference is 2.7 centimeters for insertion length, which is a lot for an anal product where that exact number determines whether it fits. Count on the lower value if you’re unsure—a product that turns out to be shorter than expected is a less serious problem than one that’s longer.

The weight is not published. Neither the manufacturer’s manual, the packaging print, nor any of the five Swedish stores states how much the product weighs. It’s worth noting for a product that’s meant to hang on a suction cup, since weight is one of the factors that determines how long a suction cup holds against a vertical surface.

Eleven vibration modes and a single button

The interface is as simple as it can be. The manufacturer’s manual describes one action: press the power button to activate, and then scroll through the eleven vibration functions using the same button. The packaging states “11 MODES MULTI-FUNCTION” and “MULTI-SPEED”, which means that the modes include both different speeds and different patterns. Joyland specifies in its shop text that the eleven steps consist of vibrations, pulsing, and escalating patterns.

A single button is a trade-off. The advantage is that there’s nothing to learn and you can find the button without looking, which matters when the product is stuck to a surface behind you. The downside is that you can only go forward in the list. If you want to go back from mode nine to mode two, you have to press your way around the entire loop. On a product with eleven modes, it’s noticeable.

According to the manufacturer, the motor sits at the tip, not in the base. The product description is clear on that point: the motor is strategically placed at the top for both internal and external precision stimulation. It’s a relevant design detail. Vibration is dampened by the material it passes through, and a motor in the base on a silicone shaft just over two decimeters long would deliver significantly less to the tip. Placing it at the top means the vibration is where it should be for prostate stimulation, but it also feels less in the outer part toward the perineum.

Suction cup: 8.9 centimeter base and hands-free use

The base width of 8.9 centimeters is one of the most useful figures in the entire specification, and it is only published in the manual—none of the five shops states it. Nearly nine centimeters is a large suction cup in this context, and that is the one that should hold the product’s entire weight against a wall, tile, or the floor.

The manufacturer’s feature list calls it a “sturdy suction cup for hands-free use,” and one of the product images shows the product attached to a tiled wall. What can be established is that the suction cup is the feature that makes the spring-loaded thrust meaningful: if you attach the product to a fixed surface, it is your own movement against it that causes the spring to work. Without the suction cup, the thrust function is, in practice, wasted, because a handheld product gives way in your hand instead.

A practical note that applies to all suction-cup products: grouted tiled walls and structured surfaces provide poorer adhesion than a completely smooth surface, because the grout lets in air. The manufacturer states no maximum load or hold time for the suction cup.

How much noise does Vibrating Ass Fucker make?

The manufacturer does not publish a measured sound value for this product, neither in the manual, on the product page, or on the packaging. None of the five Swedish shops states a decibel level either. So there is nothing to list, and a number without any measurement behind it would be a guess.

What can generally be established is that a vibration motor placed at the tip of a silicone shaft is dampened less than a motor deep inside a housing, and that a hard surface acts as a resonance box. A product that is fixed to a tiled wall with a suction cup transfers sound to the wall in a way that a handheld product does not. If you want to reduce the sound, a soft surface is the single most effective measure, regardless of model.

Water resistance: IPX0 in the manual, IPX7 in the warranty statement

Here is where the product’s biggest problem lies, and it is as much a documentation problem as it is a construction problem.

The manufacturer’s manual for PD4782-23, in the Swedish language version on page 17 and the English version on page 6, states: Water resistance: IPX0 (not water resistant; do not expose to water or liquids). The wording is not a caveat—it is a prohibition. The cleaning section in the same manual follows logically: clean with antibacterial cleaning and a damp cloth, and make sure the product is completely dry before storage. Nowhere is rinsing under running water mentioned.

The manufacturer’s EC declaration of conformity for the same item number, 478223, instead lists the line “IEC 60529 IPX7” among the standards the product is declared to comply with. According to IEC 60529, IPX7 means the product is tested for submersion in water to a depth of one meter for 30 minutes. In practice, it is the opposite of IPX0.

And the manufacturer’s own product page adds a third variant: the care section, where it describes cleaning with antibacterial toy cleaner and warm water.

What you should do with that contradiction

What can be established is that three documents from the same manufacturer give three different statements about the same item. Here’s how they stack up against each other. The user manual is product-specific: it is written for exactly PD4782-23, it lists the pole gap and pole diameter on the charging connector, and the file name dates it to 2025. The EC declaration is template-like: it’s called “DoC_Rechargeable,” it’s dated 2021, and it contains a generic list of directives and standards that apply to rechargeable products in Pipedreams’ range. The care section on the product page is a short marketing text without technical precision.

Therefore, the safest conclusion is to treat the product as not waterproof, just as the product-specific user manual says. Taking a chance the other way means submerging an electric product with a lithium-ion battery in water based on a template formulation in a five-year-old certificate. The consequence if the manual is correct is a ruined product and, in the worst case, a damaged battery.

Two Swedish stores do the opposite. Vuxen writes “Waterproof: Yes” and adds “IPX7 waterproof classification” in its quick facts. Joyland has its own heading called “Waterproof & rechargeable” and writes that the product is waterproof so you can enjoy it even in wetter environments. Vuxenkul instead writes “Water-resistant: No” — and among the five stores, it is Vuxenkul that is closest to the manufacturer’s user manual. It’s unusual for a store’s claim to be more accurate than two competitors’—and that deserves to be said.

That an adult product can’t handle water is also a stronger objection than for almost any other product type. IPX0 means the product can’t be rinsed under the tap after use, only wiped dry. On a product with six ring-shaped folds in the midsection and a seam between the silicone and the plastic housing, it’s a cleaning method that leaves room for residue exactly in the places where it’s hardest to reach.

Cleaning, lubricant, and storage

The manufacturer’s instructions are short and unambiguous. Clean with antibacterial cleaning and a damp cloth before first use. After use: turn off, clean thoroughly, dry completely, and store in a cool, dry place, away from heat, sunlight, and sharp objects. Apply a water-based lubricant before use, and use only water-based lubricants.

The rule about using a water-based lubricant is not arbitrary. Silicone-based lubricants break down the silicone surface over time and make it porous, and a porous surface can no longer be cleaned properly—only replaced. Oil-based products such as coconut oil leave a film that is difficult to remove and that binds residues. Joyland says the same thing in its specification table: the recommended lubricant is water-based.

The product page adds a practical recommendation under Operating Instructions: use plenty of lubricant. For an anal product with a ridged shaft, it is reasonable advice for purely mechanical reasons—the ridges increase the friction surface.

A note about the manual’s safety section belongs here, because it can confuse the person reading the document before purchase. The warning text on the Swedish page ends with the wording that the vibrator “is recommended only for external use.” It is the same standard warning that Pipedream uses throughout its range, and it is in direct conflict with both the product name and the manual’s own steps four and five, which describe how you insert the product. It is a template phrasing in the manufacturer’s own materials, not a product-specific instruction, but it is worth recognizing so it isn’t mistaken for something else.

Battery and charging: 40 minutes of operation on 1.5 hours of charging

The manufacturer states the operating time as 40 minutes and the charging time as 1.5 hours. In practice, that means charging takes 2.25 times as long as the product is then usable. Forty minutes is short, even in this product category, and it’s a figure that actually determines how the product is used: it lasts for one session, not for two in a row without charging in between.

The battery is listed as a sealed, rechargeable lithium-ion battery that must be recycled. Sealed means it can’t be replaced. What applies generally to lithium-ion cells also applies here: capacity decreases with the number of charge cycles, and since the cell is fixed in place, the product is, in practice, used up when the battery is. The EC Declaration confirms the battery chemistry indirectly by declaring the product against UN38.3, the transport testing for lithium batteries, with the eight sub-tests from altitude simulation to forced overcharge.

How is Anal Fantasy Vibrating Ass Fucker charged?

With a magnetic charging cable. The manufacturer’s user manual specifies the charging type as “Magnetic / USB A” and уточries the contact’s geometry: pole spacing 10 millimeters, pole diameter 6 millimeters. The packaging’s contents confirmation verifies that a USB charging cable is included, and nothing else: “(1) Vibrating Ass Fucker & (1) USB Charging Cord”. Joyland describes the same thing in its shop text—charging via the included magnetic USB cable.

Magnetic charging is a trade-off. The advantage is that you don’t need an opening in the housing for a connector, which normally makes the casing easier. That the product is still rated IPX0 in the user manual says something about where the real weakness is likely located—probably in the moving part where the spring mechanism works, not in the charging connector.

The downside is more serious here than with most other products, and it shows on the manufacturer’s warranty page: Pipedream states explicitly that they neither provide nor sell replacement chargers. The cable is product-specific—the pole spacing of 10 millimeters and the pole diameter of 6 millimeters are not an industry standard—and no standard USB-C cable works. So if you lose the cable, there’s no official way back. It’s a real risk for a product that otherwise can last for several years.

The capacity and the charging voltage that aren’t published

The manufacturer does not publish the battery capacity in mAh, its voltage, or its charging current—not in the user manual, not on the product page, not on the packaging, and none of the five Swedish stores lists any of it. In addition, the specifications tab on the manufacturer’s own product page is completely empty: the heading is there, but the content is missing.

Without the capacity, it’s not possible to convert run time into power consumption, and it’s not possible to compare how heavily the cell is loaded versus other models. It’s not unusual at this price point, but it’s worth writing it down instead of filling the gap with an assumption. The only thing that can be established is the relationship between the two published figures: 40 minutes of operation on 90 minutes of charging.

Vibrating Ass Fucker compared with the alternatives

Three comparisons are relevant, and all three are from the same manufacturer. It’s intentional: Pipedream publishes functional data for the entire range in the same way, which makes the comparison fair. All information below comes from each product’s official product page on the manufacturer’s site.

Against Anal Fantasy Elite Gyrating Ass Thruster — motor-driven thrust

This is the comparison that matters most, because it determines which of the two products actually does what the buyer often believes Vibrating Ass Fucker does. Gyrating Ass Thruster, article 478723 with EAN 603912757859, has seven vibration patterns combined with thrusting and rotating movement, a vibrating bullet at the tip, and — the decisive point — a motor-driven thrust-and-rotation piston, according to the manufacturer.

The difference from Vibrating Ass Fucker is fundamental, not a matter of degree. One has eleven vibration modes and a passive spring; the other has seven vibration patterns and a motor that drives the movement. Gyrating Ass Thruster also has a function that Vibrating Ass Fucker completely lacks: a built-in heating core that heats the shaft to 40 degrees.

The conclusion is simple. If you want a product that moves under its own power, you shouldn’t buy Vibrating Ass Fucker — then Gyrating Ass Thruster is the model in the Anal Fantasy Elite series that does it. If, on the other hand, you want a large suction cup, a realistic shape, and more vibration steps, and you can imagine that the movement comes from you, then Vibrating Ass Fucker is the simpler and fewer-moving-parts construction of the two.

Against Anal Fantasy Vibrating Ass Blaster — inflatable with remote control

Vibrating Ass Blaster, article 466623 with EAN 603912332612, belongs to the base series Anal Fantasy Collection, but is manufactured, according to the manufacturer, in the same Elite Silicone. It solves the same basic problem with completely different mechanics: a tapered tip that’s easier to insert, an inflatable part filled with a medical-type balloon pump, seven pulsing patterns stepped through via a remote control, and a suction cup base.

Two differences matter in everyday life. The first is the remote control: Vibrating Ass Blaster can be controlled without you needing to reach the button on the product, while Vibrating Ass Fucker has a single button on the housing itself that you have to reach with your hand. The second is the shape — the inflatable construction starts out narrow and widens gradually, while Vibrating Ass Fucker has its full width of 3.4 centimeters right away.

What Vibrating Ass Fucker has that Ass Blaster doesn’t is a realistic shaft shape, a ridged telescoping section, and eleven vibration modes instead of seven pulsing patterns. In practice, the choice comes down to gradual widening with a remote control versus a fixed shape with more modes.

Against Anal Fantasy Elite Ass-Gasm Pro P-Spot Milker — Prostate in focus

The third comparison is relevant for someone who’s really looking for prostate stimulation rather than a dildo. According to the manufacturer, Ass-Gasm Pro P-Spot Milker, article 479323 with EAN 603912770933, has an automated milking mechanism, a vibrating bullet at the tip with 3+7 vibration patterns, and a built-in penis ring.

It is thus a product designed around the prostate and perineum, with a curved tip and a base that rests against the body. Vibrating Ass Fucker is instead designed around a straight, realistic shape with a suction cup. Both have the motor at the tip, but only one is shaped to land correctly against the prostate without you steering it with your hand. If the whole purpose of the purchase is prostate stimulation, then the difference is more important than the number of modes.

Price range: 549 to 959 SEK at five stores

Five Swedish stores sell the item with EAN 603912755121. Cheapest are Blush Me and SexleksakerOutlet at 549 SEK each—both have item number 3660—so it’s the same price level and the same product text in both stores. Next are Vuxen at 639 SEK and Joyland at 695 SEK. The most expensive is Vuxenkul at 959 SEK.

The difference between the cheapest and the most expensive store is 410 SEK, i.e. 75 percent, for exactly the same item number and the same packaging. It’s one of the largest spreads we see in the category, and it’s not because any store sells a different variant—all five point to the same EAN or the same manufacturer item number PD4782-23.

The stock situation softens the picture somewhat. Four of the five stores had the product in stock at the price check 12 September 2026; Vuxenkul, which is the most expensive, was the only one that was sold out. Among the stores that actually had the item at home, the range goes from 549 to 695 SEK, i.e. 146 SEK or 27 percent. Joyland also stated that only one unit remained in stock, which is worth factoring in if you’re targeting that store.

One more thing differentiates the stores, and it’s worth more than the price difference for some buyers: Vuxen states that a prep kit comes with the purchase from them, consisting of 30 milliliters Refresh Toy Cleaner, 30 milliliters Moist Anal Lube, an Anal Eaze Insertz Cream, and a glove. The manufacturer’s own packaging print lists only the product and a USB charging cable, so such a kit would then be the store’s addition and not part of the standard delivery. Check at checkout that it really is included before you count on it—but if it is, it eats up a good part of the difference compared with the 549 SEK that the two cheapest stores charge.

The prices in the table above are updated when the stores’ product feeds are updated, but always check the final price at checkout. Shipping costs are added by most stores under a certain order value—for example, Vuxen states free shipping from 799 SEK, which no single product order in this price range reaches.

Who is Vibrating Ass Fucker for—and who is it not for?

It’s for you if you want an anal dildo with a realistic shape, a really large suction cup that’s 8.9 centimeters, and vibration where it does the most good—right at the tip. It’s for you if you want many vibration modes without an interface to learn—eleven settings behind a single button. And it’s for you if you value that the manufacturer actually publishes a complete user manual with measurements, the charging-contact’s geometry, and an EC declaration of conformity with named test methods. It’s more documentation than many more expensive products include.

It’s not for you if you want to be able to rinse the product under the tap. The manufacturer’s user manual states IPX0 and prohibits contact with water and liquids, and on an anal product with a ribbed midsection, that’s a significant drawback. It’s not for you if you want a motor-driven thrust function—the spring is passive, and the manufacturer’s own Gyrating Ass Thruster is the model that actually moves under its own power. It’s not for you if you need more than 40 minutes of runtime per charge, and it’s not for you if you want to be able to charge with the same cable as your phone, because the charging cable is magnetic, product-specific, and, according to the manufacturer’s warranty page, can’t be purchased afterwards.

One last thing belongs in the decision. The measurements in the stores vary between 19 and 34 centimeters total length, and even the manufacturer’s own packaging and user manual give different answers for the insertable length—15.2 versus 12.5 centimeters. If the fit is crucial for you, you should go by the lower figure and treat the stores’ information as approximate.

Warranty, complaints, and right of withdrawal

Pipedream provides a one-year warranty on the product. It’s stated both in the user manual’s specifications list and on the product page, and the warranty page further specifies the terms: the warranty runs for one year from the purchase date and covers mechanical defects or manufacturing defects.

Read the requirements before you rely on it. The manufacturer states that the product must be registered before a warranty claim can be submitted, and that proof of purchase from an authorized retailer is required. And the most concrete limitation of all: Pipedream states that they neither provide nor sell replacement chargers. Since the charging cable is magnetic and product-specific, that part—which is most likely to be lost first—can’t be replaced by the manufacturer.

In addition, Vuxen states a 100-day return right in its store, which is a store benefit beyond the law and something the manufacturer does not promise.

What always applies, however, is your statutory rights, and they are stronger than the manufacturer’s one-year warranty. According to konsumentköplagen, you have a right to make a complaint for three years in the event of defects in the product, regardless of what the manufacturer promises. For distance purchases, you also have a right of withdrawal for fourteen days under lagen om distansavtal och avtal utanför affärslokaler. Be aware that, in practice, the right of withdrawal is limited for hygiene items that have been removed from a sealed package — however, the right to make a complaint in the event of defects always applies. If you have questions about what applies in your case, Konsumentverket guides you via Hallå konsument.
