Cuties Mini Vibrator Wand: review

Cuties Mini Vibrator Wand — in brief — here’s what you get

Cuties Mini Vibrator Wand is a mini vibrator in wand form: an oval, flexible massage head on a short grip section, with the entire product covered in silicone with a velvety-smooth surface coating. The manufacturer states a total length of 13.4 centimeters, an insertion length of 9.1 centimeters, a maximum diameter of 3.3 centimeters, and a weight of 75 grams. The motor has ten vibration modes that are controlled with a single button press, and the product is charged with a USB cable included. The material is listed as silicone, PU, and ABS.

This review is about the green variant with EAN 4024144454211, which has the manufacturer’s article number 54030220000 and the color designation green. The number is checked directly against the manufacturer’s own wholesaler page, where the barcode is printed as "4024144454211 (EAN-13)" on the same item card as the measurements and materials. Cuties comes in several colors and several generations, and the variants have their own article numbers with the manufacturer—check the number before you compare prices, because the shops often mix them up.

One thing should be said right away, because it determines how the product may be used. The manufacturer does not list this model as waterproof. The feature list on both the open product page and the wholesaler page lists Rechargeable, Women, Vibration Levels, Vibrating, and Vaginal—but not Waterproof—despite the fact that the same manufacturer puts that exact label on several other models in its range. The included customer information leaflet says it even more clearly: "Do not immerse the device in water." Several shops still write that the product is waterproof. That contradiction gets its own section further down, because it is the single most important piece of information to get right for a product that needs to be cleaned after every use.

In this market, the item is sold by ORION at 21.95 EUR and is in stock. The manufacturer’s own recommended approximate retail price is 29.95 euros.

What is a mini wand, and how is it different from a regular massaging wand?

A massage wand — wand — is originally a body massager: a large, soft head on a long shaft, with a motor powerful enough to work through muscles. The format has since moved into the intimate category, where the large head turned out to work well against the entire vulva rather than against a single point. That’s why the classic wand shape is big: Le Wand Petite, marketed as a small wand, measures 25.4 centimeters with a head 4.7 centimeters in diameter.

A mini wand keeps its shape but shrinks everything. Cuties Mini Vibrator Wand is 13.4 centimeters long—about half the length of the Le Wand Petite—and the head is 3.3 centimeters wide. That practically means two things. The first is that the product fits in a makeup bag or a handbag, which the manufacturer itself highlights as the main argument. The second is that the motor necessarily is smaller, because there simply isn’t room for more in a grip section that’s three centimeters thick.

What can be established is that the manufacturer describes the motor as “extremely quiet but very powerful” without publishing either power, RPM, or sound level. That’s marketing language, not a measurement, and it should be read accordingly. What is measurable and published, however, is the shape: a flexible head that gives way against the body, and a grip section with a grid-patterned structure that, according to the manufacturer, is there to provide grip when hands are wet or have lubricant on them.

Cuties, You2Toys, or Orion—who actually manufactures it?

The name question is more confusing than it should be, since the stores don’t agree. Some stores list the brand as You2Toys, others list the manufacturer as You2Toys, and others label it as Cuties. The manufacturer’s own product card solves it: the label is Cuties, and OV-Großhandel in 24933 Flensburg is listed as the manufacturer and responsible person—meaning the ORION group, which is behind both the Cuties brand and the You2Toys brand. The EAN prefix 4024144 belongs to the same company. So there’s no contradiction in substance—only in how the stores label it.

The generation question is more interesting. The manufacturer describes the item as the fifth generation of Cuties, and in this market it’s sold by ORION at 21.95 EUR and is in stock. What differentiates the generations in practice is shape and number of modes, not technology. The earlier Cuties Mini Vibrator, item 05953220000, is 12.9 centimeters long, 2.3–3.5 centimeters in diameter, weighs 67 grams, and has seven vibration modes. The wand model has ten. Both are priced at 29.95 euro with the manufacturer.

The difference that matters most between the two, however, is not the number of modes. It’s that the older model explicitly carries the manufacturer’s own Waterproof label, while the wand model does not. Two products from the same series, same manufacturer, same price point—and different answers to whether they can be dipped in water.

Materials and build quality: silicone, PU, and ABS

The material question is the only property of an intimate product that can’t be compensated for with habit or care, and it determines whether the product is still hygienic years from now. The manufacturer lists three materials for this item: silicone, PU, and ABS. All the shops that list the material repeat the same three, even if they write them in a different order—some write "Silikon, PUR, ABS", others "ABS, Silikon, PU", and others "ABS-plast, Silikon".

Where the silicone ends and the plastic begins

Three materials in a product that looks cast in one piece means they sit in layers. The manufacturer’s own material description explains the division: ABS is the hard structural material that holds the motor and battery, silicone is the soft surface against the body, and PU — polyurethane — is a coating that’s applied on top of either ABS or silicone to create a velvety surface. That’s exactly the “silk touch” feel that the packaging markets.

Silicone itself is a good sign. It is non-porous, which means there are no microscopic cavities where residue can remain, and the manufacturer states that silicone is phthalate-free, odor-free, and does not react with soap, alcohol-based toy cleaners, or water-based lubricating gels. The same page lists ABS as phthalate-free and robust, and describes it as a good vibration conductor — which is why hard plastic sits in the grip section on almost every vibrator in this price range.

The PU coating, on the other hand, is worth reading twice, because the manufacturer itself lists the drawbacks. According to ORION’s materials page, strong cleaning agents and massage oil can damage PU; the coating should not be combined with a silicone-based lubricant when it sits on a silicone product; and the coating can be worn off if the product is cleaned too aggressively. The manufacturer adds that the worn-off coating is not dangerous. It’s an unusually honest description from a brand about its own surface finish, and it provides a concrete care rule: the velvety surface tolerates mild soap and lukewarm water, but not scrubbing, not oils, and not strong agents.

The long-term consequence is worth factoring into your decision. A clean silicone product ages because the silicone may eventually become stiffer. A PU-coated product, instead, can age by having the coating thin out at the spots where you touch it the most. For comparison, the manufacturer states that the Fifty Shades of Grey Sensation Mini Wand Vibrator is made of only silicone, without a coated surface.

Phthalates, plasticizers, and what the material declaration doesn’t say

Phthalates are a group of plasticizers used to make plastic—above all, softened PVC—flexible. The Swedish Chemicals Agency (Kemikalieinspektionen) describes them as substances that can affect the endocrine system and make reproduction more difficult, and several of them are therefore restricted or banned within the EU in a large number of products. This product category is a recurring subject of oversight because it contains softened plastic that sits against the mucous membrane.

What can be established here is that none of the three specified material types requires phthalate plasticizers in order to be soft. Silicone’s softness comes from the polymer’s own structure; ABS is a rigid plastic material; and PU is a coating. The manufacturer also explicitly states on its materials page that both silicone and ABS are phthalate-free. This is a clearer message than terms such as "TPE" or "jelly rubber," which say nothing at all about which plasticizers are included.

What the manufacturer instead does not publish is any product-specific material declaration for this particular item—there is no line that says "free from phthalates, BPA, and latex" on the product page, only the general material description for the brand’s range. The manufacturer also does not publish any information about latex content. If you’re allergic to latex, it’s worth asking the store before purchase, since reactions on the mucous membrane occur faster than on normal skin.

Two labels, however, can be read directly on the product. The manufacturer’s own product image of the back shows the CE mark, the UKCA mark, and the symbol with the crossed-out trash can molded into the actual silicone housing. The last one means that the product contains a built-in, fixed battery and must be submitted for electronics recycling, not thrown away with household waste.

Measurements and weight: 13.4 cm and 75 grams—and the store that lists 12 cm

The manufacturer states a total length of 13.4 centimeters, an insertion length of 9.1 centimeters, a diameter of 3.3 centimeters, and a weight of 75 grams. The packaging measures 17.7 × 8.7 × 4.6 centimeters and weighs 150 grams together with the product. The same size graphic is printed on the packaging, where it says "~ 13.4 CM" and "Ø ~ 3.3 CM".

The stores are almost but not quite in agreement. Several listings state 13.4 centimeters, which matches the manufacturer. One store lists 13.5 centimeters in its specification table but writes 13.4 centimeters in the body text on the same page. Another store lists the product’s length as 12 centimeters, which is 1.4 centimeters shorter than the manufacturer’s figure. Where a store contradicts the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s information applies, and 13.4 centimeters is the number you should use.

The weight spec has a similar trap. The manufacturer’s product text states 75 grams for the product, while the item card at the wholesaler states 150 grams—the latter is the gross weight with packaging, which is confirmed by the packaging dimensions section stating exactly 0.15 kilograms under the heading "Dimensions (Packaging)". The product itself therefore weighs 75 grams. It’s simple: Fifty Shades of Grey Sensation Mini Wand Vibrator weighs 38 grams, the older Cuties Mini Vibrator 67 grams.

The insertion length of 9.1 centimeters is worth a note, because it says something about how the manufacturer intends the product to be. The manufacturer itself states that the velvety surface means the product "can be inserted without effort" and it classifies the item as "For vaginal use". No information about anal use is published, and the product lacks the wide base plate required for a toy to be used safely anally—the grip portion is straight and tapers.

Ten vibration modes on a single button

The interface is as simple as it can be. The manufacturer’s product images show a single button placed in the grid-patterned grip area just below the silver-colored seam ring, marked with the usual power symbol. The manufacturer describes the ten modes as "easy to control with a press of the button", and the packaging is printed with "10 VIBRATION MODES". In this market, it’s sold by ORION at 21.95 EUR and is in stock.

In practice, that means you step through the entire list in order. The manufacturer only states that the modes are switched with a press of the button, and there is no separate control on the product to go back through the list. That’s the direct trade-off of a single-button interface, and the choice versus the alternative is straightforward: Le Wand Petite has three buttons and differentiates between modes and speeds—six vibration modes in ten speeds—which gives more combinations but also something to learn. Cuties has nothing at all to learn.

How do the ten modes break down?

The manufacturer publishes no breakdown between steady intensities and pulsing patterns, and it also provides no description of what an individual mode does. In this market, it’s sold by ORION at 21.95 EUR and is in stock.

So the only thing that can be established is the number, not the distribution. The pattern in this product class is that a list of ten positions normally consists of a smaller number of even intensities, followed by a number of pulsing and wave-shaped patterns. Count on the fact that in practice you’ll end up back at two or three of them. This isn’t specific to this model, but it’s why the number of positions is a poor comparison metric between products—the Fifty Shades model lists 20 positions without therefore being twice as useful.

The flexible massage head and the grip

The construction detail that the manufacturer highlights most clearly is that the massage head is flexible. The manufacturer’s own product image shows that the oval head sits on a clearly tapering neck between the head and the grip, and it’s that neck that gives way when the head is pressed against the body.

In practice, that means that the pressure against the body is limited by the neck’s flex rather than by the hand. A stiff wand transfers all the pressure you apply; a flexible neck absorbs part of it. For someone who’s sensitive, that’s an advantage, but for someone who wants to press hard, it’s a limitation. The manufacturer doesn’t state how stiff the neck is, and there’s no published information to compare it with.

The grip section has a grid-patterned structure—the manufacturer calls it “diamond texture” in English and “Rautenstruktur” in German, while the Swedish product text from the same manufacturer describes it as a “bikakestruktur”. The function is the same regardless of the name: it’s meant to provide grip. If you subtract the insertion length of 9,1 centimeters from the total length of 13,4 centimeters, you’re left with a little over four centimeters of grip section, which makes the detail relevant—there simply isn’t much to hold on to.

How quiet is the Cuties Mini Vibrator Wand?

The manufacturer doesn’t publish a decibel value for this product, neither on the product page, on the wholesaler page, nor on the packaging. What’s stated is phrasing: the motor is described as “superleise” in German and “extremely quiet” in English, and the product is called “diskret tyst”. None of the five shops either gives a measurement value—they just repeat the word quiet.

So it isn’t possible to put a number on the sound level based on published sources, and websites that give an exact decibel value for this model either show their own measurement or a value without a source. What can, however, be established is that the sound from a small vibrator with an eccentric motor increases when the head is pressed more firmly against a surface, and that a hard table works as a resonance box. Put the product on something soft between uses—that’s the only sound advice that applies, regardless of what the manufacturer writes.

Water resistance: the most important contradiction in this product

The sources differ in a way that rarely occurs, and it’s worth going through in detail because the answer affects both how the product can be cleaned and where it can be used.

What the manufacturer actually writes

The manufacturer labels its products with a list of features. For this article, the list on the open product page includes Rechargeable, Women, Vibration Levels, Vibrating and Vaginal, and on the wholesale side it includes Rechargeable, For women, Multiple vibration modes, Vibration and For vaginal use. Waterproof isn’t included on either of them. This isn’t a careless question: the exact same manufacturer puts Waterproof on the older Cuties Mini Vibrator, item 05953220000, and on the Fifty Shades of Grey Sensation Mini Wand Vibrator, item 05543910000. The label exists in the system and is used—it’s just not set here.

The product text also says nothing about water, in either of the languages the manufacturer publishes it in. The packaging is printed with three features—10 VIBRATION MODES, SILK TOUCH SILICONE and USB RECHARGEABLE—and none of them has anything to do with water resistance. No IP rating is given anywhere.

The decisive information comes from the manufacturer’s own customer information sheet, the document linked from the product page under the Documents heading and included with the package. There it says, in Swedish: "Doppa inte apparaten i vatten", along with the instruction to make sure no water gets into the battery compartment to prevent damage to the device. The same document states that the product should be cleaned with warm water and mild soap, that only water-based lubricants may be used, that the product must not be frozen or heated, and that it should only be charged with a suitable charger in a wall outlet.

The manufacturer’s own picture of the charging connector supports the same conclusion purely from a design standpoint: the socket at the bottom of the handle is open in the housing, with no cover or rubber plug. An open socket is the most common reason a product cannot be classified for submersion.

But the stores that contradict each other—and the IPx5 information

The stores give three different answers to the same question, which in itself is noteworthy.

• One retailer has its own field for water resistance in its specification table, and there it says No. That matches the manufacturer.
• Another retailer instead states “Water-resistant IPx5: Yes” in its specification table. The manufacturer does not publish any such classification.
• Another store describes the product in running text as a “waterproof play buddy” that “can go with you into the shower”. But the store’s structured specification table contains no field for water resistance at all.
• One retailer and another retailer don’t address the question at all.

It’s worth knowing what IPX5 actually means, because the number looks like a promise. According to the standard IEC 60529, IPX5 means that a product is tested against water jets from a nozzle—i.e., splashing and rinsing, not submersion. Submersion only starts with IPX7, which corresponds to a depth of one meter for 30 minutes. So even if the IPX5 information had been correct, it would not mean that the product can be put in the bathtub.

The conclusion is unambiguous: when a store disagrees with the manufacturer, the manufacturer applies, and when the manufacturer also includes an explicit warning in its own customer information sheet, there is no room for interpretation. Treat the product as not waterproof. Rinse the head under running water if you want, but do not submerge it, do not take it into the bath, and never keep the charging contact under water.

Cleaning, lubricants, and storage

The care instructions follow directly from the material choice and the water question. The manufacturer’s customer information sheet states that the product should be cleaned with warm water and mild soap before first use, and that no water may get into the battery compartment. Wipe with a clean towel and let it air-dry before putting the product away.

The lubricant question has a clear answer from two directions. The manufacturer’s customer information sheet writes: "NOTE: To avoid damaging the material, use only water-based lubricants." The manufacturer’s materials page says the same thing about the PU coating on a silicone product, and the retailer specifies water-based as the recommended lubricant in its specification table. Water-based lubricants break down the silicone surface over time and make it porous, and a porous surface can no longer be cleaned properly. Oil-based products, such as coconut oil, also leave a film that is difficult to remove—and the manufacturer explicitly states that massage oil can ruin the PU coating.

An extra tip that applies specifically to PU-coated surfaces: clean gently. The manufacturer itself states that the coating can be worn off if the product is cleaned too roughly. So scouring sponges, strong disinfectants, and repeated scrubbing cause more harm than good on this particular surface finish, unlike on plain silicone.

Two things from the manufacturer’s customer information sheet belong here, because they are rarely included in the store texts: the product must neither be frozen nor heated, which rules out boiling and the dishwasher, and according to the manufacturer it is not suitable for commercial use.

Battery and charging: the cable that isn’t USB-C

The manufacturer states that the product is rechargeable and that a USB cable is included. Beyond that, nothing is published: neither battery type, capacity in mAh, voltage, charging time, nor operating time is stated in the manufacturer’s specifications. That’s strikingly little for a product whose only power supply is a built-in fixed battery.

How is the Cuties Mini Vibrator Wand charged?

With the included cable, and this is where a detail deserves attention. The manufacturer’s own product image of the contents in the delivery shows a black cable with a Cuties-labeled USB-A connector on one end — the one that goes into a computer or charger — and a narrow, round pin connector on the other end. So it’s not USB-C that plugs into the product. A second product image shows the same pin connector connected at the bottom of the grip part, in an outlet that sits open in the casing.

In practice, that means the cable is product-specific. If you lose it, neither your phone’s USB-C cable nor a regular micro-USB cable will work, and the manufacturer doesn’t publish an item for a replacement cable. It’s a real drawback in a product that’s otherwise built to be taken with you — and it also explains why a model in this price range can become unusable long before the battery is drained.

The customer information sheet adds an instruction that’s easy to miss: only charge the product with a suitable charger in a wall outlet, and follow the instructions for the power adapter. The sheet also points out that, for safety reasons, lithium batteries are normally delivered partially charged, and that the product should be charged again when it shuts itself off due to a discharged battery.

The runtime that no manufacturer confirms

Since the manufacturer doesn’t publish any runtime, you have to look in the stores, and that’s where the picture gets messy.

One retailer lists two different sets of numbers on the same page. In the specification table, the charging time is about 300 minutes and the usage time about 90 to 120 minutes. In the product description just above, it instead says "charging time approx. 2 h, usage time up to 90 min". That’s a three-hour difference in charging time between two rows on the same product page. Another retailer lists a charging time of about two hours and up to 90 minutes of use, which matches the description text but not the table. Other retailers don’t state any runtime at all.

So what can be established is that two stores, independently of each other, state roughly two hours of charging and up to 90 minutes of runtime, that one of them contradicts itself at the same time, and that the manufacturer doesn’t confirm any of the figures. Treat 90 minutes as a store claim, not as a specification.

What generally applies to lithium batteries also applies here: capacity drops with the number of charge cycles, the battery is built in and not replaceable — the crossed-out trash bin on the back confirms that the product is intended for electronics recycling — and the product does best when it is charged regularly instead of being stored completely discharged. With use, a couple of times per week, it is the battery and the PU coating, not the silicone, that sets the limit for service life.

Cuties Mini Vibrator Wand compared with the alternatives

Three comparisons are relevant: versus the older model in the same series, versus another mini wand, and versus a classic wand. All the information below comes from each respective manufacturer’s own specifications, published by the same wholesaler.

Against Cuties Mini Vibrator Wand — same brand, but waterproof

Cuties Mini Vibrator, item 05953220000, is the older form in the same series: a straight mini vibrator instead of a wand. The manufacturer specifies a length of 12.9 centimeters, a diameter of 2.3–3.5 centimeters, weight 67 grams, seven vibration modes, and the same material combination of silicone, PU, and ABS. The list price in the manufacturer’s own web shop is 29.95 euros, i.e. exactly the same as the wand model’s recommended approximate price.

So the differences are small on paper: the wand model is half a centimeter longer, eight grams heavier, and has three additional settings. It also has a shape that provides more surface area against the body, which is the whole point of the wand concept.

But the difference that weighs heaviest goes the other way. The older model’s specification list includes Waterproof. The wand model’s does not. For the same amount of money, from the same manufacturer, that means that in one case you get a product that the manufacturer itself labels as waterproof, and in the other case you get a product whose included information sheet says it must not be submerged. If it’s important to you to be able to rinse off the entire product without overthinking it, this is the deciding line in the whole comparison.

Against Fifty Shades of Grey Sensation Mini Wand Vibrator

This is the closest direct competitor: same product type, same flexible head, but from a different manufacturer. According to the specification, Sensation Mini Wand Vibrator is 10.2 centimeters long, 2.4 centimeters in diameter, and weighs 38 grams. It has 20 vibration modes, is made of pure silicone without a coated surface, is stated to be waterproof, has a travel lock, and comes with both a USB cable and a storage pouch. The responsible manufacturer is listed as WOW Tech Europe GmbH, and the list price in the same web shop is 44.95 euros — i.e. 15 euros more than Cuties 29.95.

What you pay the extra money for is concrete and accounted for: water resistance, full silicone instead of a PU-coated surface, a travel lock that prevents the product from turning on in your bag, and a storage pouch. What you get less of is size — 10.2 centimeters versus 13.4 — which means less head and less surface area against the body.

The conclusion is uncomfortable but straightforward: on every individual specification line that you can compare, the Fifty Shades model is ahead, except on the measurements and the price. If you want the larger wand shape and the lower price tag, Cuties is the choice. If you want the product that’s built to withstand water and wear, it’s the other one.

Against Le Wand Petite — what a real wand costs

Le Wand Petite is included in the comparison to show where the category boundary is. The manufacturer states a total length of 25.4 centimeters and a head with a 4.7-centimeter diameter — almost twice as long as Cuties, with a head that is 1.4 centimeters wider. It has six vibration modes in ten speeds controlled with three buttons, a travel lock, an included USB cable, and a storage pouch, and the material is listed as silicone with a PU coating. The list price in the manufacturer’s own web shop is 139.00 euro.

That says two things. The first is that PU coating isn’t a budget material — the same surface finish is on a wand that costs a little over four and a half times as much as Cuties 29.95 euro. The second is that “Petite” in the wand world still means 25 centimeters. Cuties Mini Vibrator Wand therefore doesn’t compete with a real massaging wand; it competes with bullet vibrators and mini vibrators that just happen to have a wand shape.

If you choose based on power and surface area against the body, there’s no comparison — then you should buy a real wand. If you choose based on size, weight, and price, there’s no reason to pay four times as much for a product that doesn’t fit in the same bag.

You can buy it from ORION at 21.95 EUR, and it is in stock.

In this market, the item is sold by ORION at 21.95 EUR and is in stock.

The stock situation, however, changes the picture. The seller with the lowest listed price showed it as sold out at the time of the price check. Some listings may still show an old price in the feed even when the item is temporarily marked as sold out, and that price is rarely what you actually end up paying when the item comes back in again.

In this market, the item is sold by ORION at 21.95 EUR and is in stock.

The prices in the table above are updated when the stores’ product inventories are updated, but always check the final price at checkout. Also check the shipping terms before you choose a store: in this price range, it’s entirely possible for the shipping cost to erase the entire difference between the cheapest and the most expensive store.

Who is the Cuties Mini Vibrator Wand for — and who is it not for?

It’s for you if you want a small, lightweight, and affordable first vibrator with a wand shape, and you appreciate that there’s only one button to learn. With 13.4 centimeters and 75 grams, it’s among the smallest products in its category, and the flexible head means that the pressure against the body is limited by the design rather than by your hand — an advantage for someone who is sensitive. It also suits you if you want silicone against the skin rather than bare hard plastic, and you don’t want to spend more than a couple of hundred to find out whether the format works.

It’s not for you if you want to be able to take the product into the shower or bath. The manufacturer’s own information sheet says it must not be immersed, and the feature list lacks Waterproof — that’s the clearest limitation in the entire specification. It also isn’t for you if you want to charge it with the same cable as your phone, because the charging cable ends in a product-specific pin connector. And it isn’t for you if you require published battery capacity, operating time, and sound level before purchase, because the manufacturer does not publish either.

One more thing belongs in the decision. The PU coating that gives it the silky-smooth surface, according to the manufacturer itself, is sensitive to strong cleaning agents, massage oil, and hard scrubbing. That makes the product more maintenance-intensive than a plain silicone product, despite the fact that it looks simpler. Anyone who wants something that can handle being cleaned roughly again and again should choose a model without coating — and the manufacturer’s own range includes such models.

Warranty, claims, and right of withdrawal

The manufacturer does not publish any voluntary manufacturer warranty for this item. Neither the product page, the wholesaler page, nor the included customer information sheet states any warranty period, and none of the five stores we checked lists a manufacturer warranty on the product page. That in itself isn’t unusual at this price level, but it’s a difference from premium brands that offer five or fifteen years of warranty — and that means that, in practice, your rights are the ones mandated by law.

One store makes its own commitment: it states on its product page a general promise of a two-year product warranty on everything they sell. It is the store’s own obligation and not a task from the manufacturer, and it therefore only applies if you buy from there.

What always applies, on the other hand, are your statutory rights. In the EU and EEA, consumers buying online generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal, starting when the goods are received. Under EU rules, sealed goods that are not suitable for return for health or hygiene reasons are exempt from the right of withdrawal once unsealed. In the EU, the seller is liable for defects that exist at delivery and appear within at least 2 years (the legal guarantee).

One last practical note: since the product contains a built-in battery and bears the symbol with the crossed-out wheeled bin, it must be taken to electronics recycling when it is used up, not thrown away with household waste. The manufacturer’s customer information sheet covers the same point and points out that lithium batteries may only be handed in in a discharged state to collection points.
