You2Toys Remote Controlled Fucking Machine: review

You2Toys Remote Controlled Fucking Machine at a glance

You2Toys Remote Controlled Fucking Machine is a mains-powered sex machine in the smallest size class. It consists of a motor unit on a base plate with four suction feet, a rod that moves back and forth, an extension rod, three interchangeable attachments, and a wireless remote control. The manufacturer states the stroke length as 4.5 centimeters and the speed as up to 300 thrusts per minute, distributed across 10 thrust settings in 33 speeds.

The dimensions of the machine itself are 22 × 15 × 17 centimeters, and it is stated to weigh 6 370 grams. The materials are metal, ABS, PVC, and TPE. The power cable with adapter is stated to be 280 centimeters long, and the remote control is powered by an LR23A battery that is included. In Sweden, the item is sold by six shops at prices between 2 376 and 2 995 SEK, and five of them had it in stock at the time of the price check.

This review is exclusively about the item with EAN 4024144142903, the manufacturer’s item number 05541890000. It is important to keep them separate, because the manufacturer ORION has at least three different items in its range that, on Swedish shop pages, are called something along the lines of "RC-sexmaskin med fjärrkontroll". Two of them are completely different products in completely different price categories, and they come up later in the comparison.

What a sex machine does that a vibrator doesn’t

The difference between a sex machine and a vibrator is fundamental and has nothing to do with price. A vibrator transfers vibrations from a motor through the material to the skin. The movement is small, fast, and occurs in place. A sex machine instead makes a back-and-forth movement along an axis: a motor drives a crank or a linear mechanism that pushes a rod in and out, and it is the rod’s travel — the stroke length — that does the job.

That means, in practice, that the two product types serve different purposes. A vibrator stimulates superficially and point by point. A sex machine imitates a thrusting motion and stimulates through penetration, which is why the manufacturer lists the product as suitable for vaginal and anal use, as well as for stimulating the glans using the included masturbator. It also means that the two factors that determine the experience are stroke length and thrust frequency—not the number of vibration programs.

The other big difference is the hands-free aspect. The manufacturer states that the base plate has suction feet that attach to smooth surfaces and that the machine can be set at an angle. What can be concluded is that the entire product category’s reason for existing rests on the fact that the machine stays in place by itself while it’s operating—and that places demands on the surface rather than on the machine. Suction feet adhere to tile, laminate, painted wood, or glass. On a mattress, a rug, or an oiled wooden board, there’s nothing for them to suction to.

The Banger, You2Toys or RC Fucking Machine — which one is which?

The name is the single most common source of incorrect purchases in this product category, so it deserves its own walkthrough. On the manufacturer’s own product page, the item is listed under the label The Banger – ORION Brand, while the product text on that exact same page describes it as a machine “from You2Toys.” All Swedish stores list You2Toys as the brand. So it’s not two products—it’s one—and the difference lies in the manufacturer’s own labeling.

The store names also differ. Joyland calls it The Banger: Small Fuck Machine. Mshop calls it Small Fuck Machine. Vuxen and Blush Me call it Remote Controlled Fucking Machine. And Lekosmek and Taboo call it RC Sexmaskin and RC Fucking Machine with a remote control, respectively. Six stores, five different product names, one and the same EAN. The only thing that ties them together is the barcode.

• Remote Controlled Fucking Machine, article 05541890000 — the product this text is about. Mains-powered tabletop machine, 22 × 15 × 17 cm, fixed stroke length 4.5 cm.
• Double-sided Fucking Machine, article 05541700000 — the larger sister model. 49 × 48 × 37 cm, 14,000 grams, and adjustable stroke length between 2.5 and 14.5 cm. Another product class, not a color variant.
• RC Fucking Machine 2.0, article 05989920000 — not a machine at all, but a rechargeable thrusting vibrator in silicone with a suction cup and a remote control. Costs under 1,000 kronor and is constantly mixed up with the two above.

So always check the EAN number in the store before you add it to your cart. If it says 4024144142903, that’s the compact tabletop machine. If it says 4024144142897, that’s the double-sided one, and if it says 4024144641154, that’s the thrust vibrator.

Materials and build quality: metal, ABS, PVC, and TPE

The material question is determined here by the fact that the product consists of two completely different things: a machine that never touches mucous membranes, and three accessories that do nothing else. The manufacturer lists the materials together as metal, ABS, PVC, and TPE, and Joyland lists the same four in its specification. The breakdown appears in the accessory lines: the two dildos are stated to be in PVC, the masturbator is in TPE and ABS, and the remaining parts for the machine itself are metal and ABS.

What PVC and TPE mean for hygiene

This is the review’s most important section, and it’s also the one that most distinguishes the product from the more expensive silicone products in the category. PVC and TPE are both plastic that has been softened. Neither of them is non-porous in the way that cured silicone is. A surface that is not non-porous has microscopic voids where bodily fluids, lubricants, and soap residue can remain, and those voids can’t be rinsed clean — you can only rinse them off.

The consequence is concrete. Silicone can withstand boiling, and in practice it can be sanitized. PVC and TPE do not withstand either boiling or bleach, and they should be considered wear parts with a limited service life rather than something you keep for ten years. The manufacturer writes in its material information that mineral-oil plasticizers migrate out of TPE and TPR over time, so that the surface becomes oily or greasy in places — it’s not a sign that the product is dirty; it’s a description of how the material ages. For PVC, the manufacturer says the material may have a distinct odor at first that disappears once the product has been aired out, and it warns about aging effects.

So what can be concluded is that it’s the accessories that determine the product’s hygienic service life, not the machine. The machine is metal and ABS and will work for a long time. The dildos and the masturbator sleeve will become sticky before that. The fact that, according to the manufacturer, the masturbator’s sleeve can be taken out for cleaning is therefore one of the more meaningful design details in the entire specification, because it is the only part where fluid would otherwise be left standing.

A practical consequence worth taking into account already at the time of purchase: since the rod has a threaded end to which the accessories are screwed on, the product is essentially designed to be supplemented with other accessories. However, the manufacturer does not publish any information about the thread size or standard, and no official accessory program for this specific item is presented. Base yourself on the three parts included.

Phthalates, plasticizers, and what the manufacturer actually commits to

Phthalates are a group of plasticizers used to make plastic — above all softened PVC — flexible. Kemikalieinspektionen describes them as substances that can affect the hormone system and make reproduction more difficult, and several of them are therefore restricted or prohibited within the EU in a large number of products. The issue is especially relevant here, because two of the three accessories are expressly stated to be made of PVC — the material where phthalates have historically been most common.

The manufacturer addresses the issue in its material information and states there that PVC, TPE/TPR, and ABS in its range are phthalate-free. Two of the Swedish shops — Vuxen and Blush Me — repeat the claim in their product texts and describe the item as body-safe and free from phthalates. What is missing, however, is a phthalate disclosure on the manufacturer’s product page for this specific article, and the manufacturer does not publish any material declaration, no test protocol, and no EU declaration of conformity that can be downloaded for article 05541890000. The commitment is therefore general for the material groups, not article-specific.

This is a distinction worth understanding, but not one to exaggerate. A general commitment from the manufacturer is still a commitment that the manufacturer can be held to, and it is more unambiguous than terms such as "jellygummi" or simply "body-safe material," which says nothing at all about which plasticizers are included. But it is weaker than an article-specific document, and anyone who wants one will have to look in vain for it here.

Dimensions and weight: 22 × 15 × 17 centimeters and 6 370 grams

The machine is stated to measure 22 × 15 × 17 centimeters. It’s roughly a toaster, and that’s the whole point of the model — it’s built so it can be placed on a table or the floor and then carried away. The weight is given as 6 370 grams in the manufacturer’s data sheet, and Taboo gives the same number in grams, while Mshop lists 6.37 kilograms as the package weight. The three pieces of information are the same figure, which in itself is a good sign; it suggests that the shops pull it directly from the manufacturer’s data file rather than guessing.

That these just over six kilos are likely the shipping weight for the entire delivery and not just the machine by itself is indirectly indicated by the packaging dimensions. The manufacturer states that the carton is 42 × 39.5 × 22 centimeters, so it’s a significantly larger box than the machine at 22 × 15 × 17 centimeters — it is the carton that is supposed to hold the power supply unit, two rods, four suction feet, two dildos, a masturbator, and a remote control in addition to the machine itself. The manufacturer publishes no separate net weight for the machine alone, and none of the six shops does either. Assume that the machine in your hand weighs less than 6 370 grams, but treat that figure as a shipping weight until the manufacturer specifies otherwise.

Weight is, incidentally, not only a shipping issue in this case. A six-machine that makes 300 thrusts per minute moves back and forth a lot, and each change of direction becomes a force that wants to move the machine. Operating weight is the cheapest way to counteract it, and the suction feet are the next cheapest. What can be established is that this model uses both—but also that a machine in this weight class depends on the suction feet truly getting a firm hold, because six kilos in itself isn’t enough to withstand a forceful movement.

The accessory dimensions are stated in detail, which is unusually generous for this product category. The light-colored dildo is given as 22.5 centimeters long with an insertion length of 17.5 centimeters and a largest diameter of 4.5 centimeters. The dark one is 24.5 centimeters long with an insertion length of 18 centimeters and a largest diameter of 5 centimeters. The masturbator is 19.7 centimeters long with an insertion depth of 15 centimeters and an opening of 1.7 centimeters, which is stated to be stretchable to a maximum of 5 centimeters. Here, however, there is a discrepancy in the manufacturer’s own material: the dimension drawing in the product gallery states the masturbator’s diameter span as 1.7–5.5 centimeters, while the product text states a maximum of 5 centimeters. Half a centimeter is not a big deal in this context, but anyone considering fit should know that the manufacturer itself lists two different figures.

Ten impact modes, 33 speeds, and a remote control

The control unit consists of a standalone remote control. In the manufacturer’s content image, it appears as an oblong black unit with four buttons and a transmitter symbol at the very top. The manufacturer states 10 thrust modes in 33 speeds and a range of 10–15 meters, and explicitly emphasizes that the range lets a partner handle the control from the other side of the room.

Count on the fact that the combination 10 × 33 does not mean 330 perceived settings. A thrust mode is a movement pattern—steady rhythm, pulsing, ramping up, and so on—and the speed is how fast the pattern is played back. What can be established is that you get a two-dimensional controller where the patterns and tempo are adjusted independently of each other, which is more than most products in this price range offer. What the manufacturer, on the other hand, does not publish is which the ten modes are. There is no listing, no description, and no manual to download on the product page.

Stroke length 4.5 cm—the most important figure in the entire specification

If you only read one line in this text, it should be this one. The manufacturer states that the stroke length is 4.5 centimeters, and it is fixed. There is no control for how far the rod travels; what you can set is the pattern and the speed.

In practice, this means the machine makes a short, fast movement rather than a long, deep one. The comparison that makes the number understandable is the manufacturer’s own larger model: Double-sided Fucking Machine is said to have an adjustable stroke length of between 2.5 and 14.5 centimeters, i.e. more than three times as long in its longest setting. Anyone expecting a movement of that magnitude will be disappointed by 4.5 centimeters, and that is the single most common reason why a compact sex machine doesn’t meet expectations.

The other side of the same coin is speed. The manufacturer states up to 300 thrusts per minute for the compact model, versus up to 230 for the larger one. Short stroke length and high frequency are a different kind of stimulation than long stroke length and lower frequency—not worse, but different. What can be stated is that this machine is built for fast, shallow movement with the accessory in place, while the larger model is built for long strokes.

A note about the manufacturer’s own translation belongs here. The German product text says "bis zu 300 Stöße pro Minute", meaning thrusts per minute. The English translation on the same page instead writes "up to 300 rotations per minute". The machine doesn’t rotate, and the English wording is a translation mistake— the number 300 refers to thrusts, not rotations. The same applies to the larger model’s 230.

How does the remote control work, and what battery is in it?

The remote control is wireless and, according to the manufacturer’s datasheet, runs on a battery of the type 1 × LR23A, which is stated to be included in the delivery. Joyland says the same thing in its specification and lists battery type 23A as included. LR23A is a small alkaline 12-volt battery of the same kind that sits in remote controls for garage doors and car alarms. It’s sold in regular stores, but it isn’t as easy to get hold of as an AAA—anyone buying the machine would be wise to put a spare battery in the box right away.

The detail also explains a confusing line in the manufacturer’s own datasheet. Under "Properties", the article is labeled "Battery powered", even though the product text on the same page describes it as mains-powered. The machine has no built-in battery and can’t be run without a wall outlet—the only battery in the product is in the remote control. So the label is misleading, not information about a battery-powered variant.

What the manufacturer doesn’t publish is how long the battery lasts, whether the remote control has a child lock, and which radio technology is used. The range 10–15 meters is the only number that is provided. For comparison, the manufacturer explicitly states that the much cheaper RC Fucking Machine 2.0 has a remote control with a child lock, which suggests that the feature is something ORION only mentions when it’s present.

Suction feet, the angle, and the two poles

The machine is delivered disassembled. The manufacturer’s content image shows the motor unit with a base plate, four separate suction feet that are screwed onto the plate, a black extension pole and a shorter pole in shiny metal, the power supply unit with the cable, the three accessories, and the remote control. The manufacturer’s dimension drawing also includes a four-step mounting instruction for the angle stopper: pull out the handle, turn it, put it back, and tighten or loosen the screws.

The two poles are not alternatives to each other in the way you first think. The manufacturer specifies the pole as 12 centimeters and the extension pole as 20 centimeters, and the drawing shows that both have threads on one end and threaded holes on the other. What can be established is that the extension pole is screwed between the machine and the accessory when the accessory needs to be positioned farther from the machine housing — which is exactly what’s required when the machine is placed on a table and the user is not doing it in the usual way.

The angle is set with a ratchet handle between the motor unit and the base plate. The manufacturer states that the angle is adjustable but publishes no degree range, so how steep or how flat the machine can be set is not shown in the specification. The suction feet are in four separate positions in the corners of the plate, which gives a wider support pattern than a single large suction cup — but the same applies as with all suction feet: they require a smooth, clean, and non-porous surface.

Mains power, 230 volts, and what is not published

That the product is mains-powered is the feature that sets it apart the most from the rest of the category, and it deserves more space than it usually gets. The manufacturer states a power cable including an adapter of 280 centimeters. Joyland specifies the power supply to the plug as 220–230 volts, Taboo writes 220 volts, and the manufacturer’s own dimension drawing shows the power supply unit labeled 230V — but with the cable length stated as about 250 centimeters, i.e. 30 centimeters shorter than the product text on the same site. The manufacturer therefore states two different cable lengths in its own material: 280 centimeters in the text and about 250 centimeters on the drawing. Use the shorter number when you plan where the machine should be placed relative to the nearest outlet.

Mains power has two sides. The advantage is that the machine never runs out mid-use, never needs to be charged, and never loses power when the battery level drops — it delivers the same output in the first and last minute. The disadvantage is that it’s tied to a power outlet with a cable of a couple of and a half meters, and that it’s not a product you take with you, but something you plan for.

Elsäkerhetsverket (Swedish Electrical Safety Authority) describes the CE mark as the manufacturer’s own assurance that the product meets the EU’s requirements—it’s not an authority approval and not a quality seal, but a commitment from the manufacturer. In the manufacturer’s own close-up image of the motor housing, both the CE and UKCA markings are visible, as well as the symbol for separate collection of electrical waste, embossed into the plastic casing. What can be established, then, is that the labeling is on the product. At the same time, Elsäkerhetsverket points out that a mains-connected product sets its own requirements for how it is used, and that brings us directly to the next point.

Motor power and sound level: two missing details

The manufacturer does not publish the motor’s power in watts or any measured sound level for this article. None of the six Swedish stores does either. Those are two missing details that both would have been directly useful.

The power would have said something about how much resistance the machine can handle before it slows down. The frequency of 300 impacts per minute is an unloaded value—what happens when the shaft meets real resistance is not explained by any published information. The sound level would have said something about where the machine can be used. A metal mechanism that delivers five strikes per second against a metal base plate is, by design principle, not quiet, and a thin tabletop also works as a resonance box. Websites that list a decibel value for this item either report their own measurement or a value without a source from the manufacturer.

A practical tip that applies regardless of model: place the machine on a floor or on a heavy, stable surface rather than on a small table with a thin top. The less resonant surface the machine stands on, the less the sound from the mechanics is amplified.

Is it waterproof? No—and why that matters here

The manufacturer publishes no IP rating for the item, and Taboo explicitly states the line "IPx5: Nej" on its product page. The combination with mains operation makes it one of the most important lines in the entire review.

A battery-powered vibrator without an IP rating risks, in the worst case, breaking if it gets wet. A mains-connected product without an IP rating is something else. The machine should not be used in or near a bathtub or shower, should not be rinsed under the tap, and the power adapter should be kept dry and accessible. If there is no IP information at all, the product should be treated as not waterproof—the absence of a rating is never a sign that the product is approved for exposure to moisture.

Practically speaking, that means cleaning is split into two parts. The attachments can be washed off. The machine doesn’t—it’s wiped with a damp cloth with the unit unplugged from the wall outlet, and never more than that.

Cleaning, lubricants, and storage

Unscrew the accessory after every use and clean it separately. According to the manufacturer, the masturbator’s sleeve can be removed from the casing, which is what makes it possible to get it clean on the inside—rinse it in lukewarm water with unperfumed soap or a cleaning agent intended for intimate products, and let it air-dry completely before putting it back. A sleeve that’s put away while damp is the fastest way for the material to start to smell.

The question of lubricant has a clear answer here. Joyland recommends water-based lubricant in its product text, and it is also the only option that is risk-free for both PVC and TPE. Silicone-based lubricant should be avoided with soft plastics, and oil-based products like coconut oil break down plasticized PVC and leave behind a film that’s difficult to remove. Water-based lubricant dries faster and needs to be topped up more often, but it’s the only option that does not shorten the accessories’ service life.

Storage: leave the dildos and the masturbator lying freely and not pressed against other soft-plastic products. Softened PVC and TPE can react with each other during prolonged contact so that surfaces become sticky or discolored. The manufacturer states itself that plasticizers migrate out of TPE over time—a fabric bag or paper between the parts is cheap insurance. The machine itself and the power supply do best when stored dry, and the cardboard box measuring 42 × 39.5 × 22 centimeters is, in practice, the storage case that comes with it.

You2Toys Remote Controlled Fucking Machine compared with the alternatives

Two comparisons are decisive, and both are versus products from the same manufacturer—because that’s where the real risk of mix-ups lies. All information below comes from each article’s official product page from the manufacturer, and all prices come from the shops’ product feeds on 29 July 2026.

Against Double-sided Fucking Machine — 723 SEK for three times the stroke length

Double-sided Fucking Machine, item 05541700000 with EAN 4024144142897, costs from 3 099 SEK. It’s 723 SEK more than the compact model’s 2 376 SEK, and for that money you get a significantly different machine.

The decisive difference is the stroke length. The larger model is stated to have an adjustable stroke length between 2.5 and 14.5 centimeters, compared with the compact model’s fixed 4.5. It’s not a difference in degree—it’s a difference between categories: the large one can be set both shorter and more than three times longer. In return, it’s stated to have up to 230 thrusts per minute versus the compact model’s 300, so it’s slower. Long stroke length and a lower frequency versus short stroke length and a higher one—that’s the whole trade-off in one sentence.

The size is as follows. The large model measures 49 × 48 × 37 centimeters and is stated to weigh 14 000 grams, compared with 22 × 15 × 17 centimeters and 6 370 grams. It is therefore more than twice as heavy and takes up floor space rather than tabletop space, and it doesn’t have suction feet; instead, it stands on its own stability. It is also double-sided, which the manufacturer highlights as the ability for two people to use it at the same time.

Everything else is the same: the same 10 impact modes in 33 speeds, the same remote control with a range of 10–15 meters, the same LR23A battery in the remote control, the same materials, and exactly the same three accessories in exactly the same dimensions. The conclusion is straightforward. If impact stroke is what you’re after, 723 SEK is a small price difference to triple it. If space, weight, and the possibility of putting the product away are more important, then the compact model is the right choice—but then you should buy it with your eyes open that 4,5 centimeters is what you get.

Compared with You2Toys RC Fucking Machine 2.0 — 1 399 SEK cheaper, but not the same thing

RC Fucking Machine 2.0, item 05989920000 with EAN 4024144641154, costs from 977 SEK. It is 1 399 SEK less, and it is the product that is most often confused with this review’s article because the shops give both similar Swedish names.

It’s not a machine. The manufacturer describes it as an impact vibrator: an oblong product with a removable, angle-adjustable suction cup, a total length of 30,3–36,8 centimeters, an insertion length of 15 centimeters, and a diameter of 3,1–3,6 centimeters. The material is listed as silicone, PU, and ABS—so silicone on the contact surface instead of PVC and TPE. It has 7 vibration modes and 3 impact speeds that can be controlled separately or together: a remote control with a button lock, and both the vibrator and the remote control are rechargeable with the included USB cable.

The differences that actually matter: the 2.0 is cordless, can be taken with you, is made of silicone, and has vibration in addition to the impact movement. The compact machine has fixed mains power without a battery limitation, 10 modes in 33 speeds, three interchangeable accessories instead of one fixed one, and a standalone machine body that isn’t inserted anywhere. Also note a discrepancy in the manufacturer’s data for the 2.0: the product text states the weight as 323 grams, while the data field on the same page states 635 grams—probably product weight versus packaged weight, but the manufacturer doesn’t specify it.

Who should choose which? If you’re unsure whether impact movement even works for you, the 2.0 is a significantly cheaper way to find out, and it’s also the only one of the three that can be taken on a trip. If you want a machine that stands on its own, switches accessories, and is never run down, then this review’s article is the one that applies—but the 1 399 SEK price difference should be a conscious choice, not an assumption that the more expensive product is the better one.

Price range: SEK 2,376 to SEK 2,995 at six shops

Six Swedish shops sell the item with EAN 4024144142903. The cheapest is Joyland at 2,376 SEK, and the most expensive are Lekosmek and Taboo at 2,995 SEK each. That’s 619 SEK, or a 26 percent difference, for the exact same article number, same color, and same packaging.

The inventory situation is unusually good for this product category. Five of the six shops had the item in stock during the price check — only Vuxen was missing it. That means the lowest price is also the lowest available price, which isn’t always the case. The next step up is Blush Me at 2,695 SEK, meaning 319 SEK more, and then Mshop at 2,869 SEK.

Two things belong in the price picture. The first is that the manufacturer lists a recommended retail price of 299.00 euros for the item. All Swedish prices are below it when converted, which is the normal relationship between the German list price and Swedish retail — but it also means that 2,995 SEK is not a price you need to pay when the same item is available for 2,376.

The second is that the category has price options just below. Hismith Premium Travel Fuck Machine 2.0 was in the shops’ feeds at 2,238 SEK as the cheapest, meaning 138 SEK below this item. We haven’t checked that machine’s specifications against the manufacturer’s own material in this text, so compare it yourself before you choose — but it’s there, and it shows that the 2,300–2,400 SEK price level is a real competitive level for compact sex machines in Sweden and not a floor.

The prices in the table above are updated when the shops’ product feeds are updated, but always check the final price at checkout. In this price range, all shops are above the threshold for free shipping, but a product that weighs 6,370 grams and comes in a cardboard box measuring 42 × 39.5 × 22 centimeters can still end up in a shipping class with an added charge. Check that before you pay.

Who is it suitable for — and who isn’t it?

It’s for you if you want a real thrusting machine but don’t have room for a floor model. It’s for you if you want hands-free use on a hard, smooth surface where the suction feet can grip. It’s for you if you want to be able to switch between three completely different attachments — two dildos in different sizes and a masturbator — without having to buy anything extra. And it’s for you if you value that a product never needs charging: it runs on mains power, so the power is the same in minute forty as in minute one.

It doesn’t suit you if you want a long stroke length. 4.5 centimeters is short; it can’t be adjusted, and it is the most common reason for disappointment with compact sex machines. It doesn’t suit you if you want silicone against your skin—the attachments are PVC and TPE, materials that are harder to keep clean and that age. It doesn’t suit you if you want to be able to rinse off the product or use it in the shower and bathtub; it’s mains-powered and lacks a published IP class. And it doesn’t suit you if you need it to be quiet, because there’s no sound specification to go by, and the design doesn’t point to quiet operation.

One more thing belongs in the decision. This is a product with a cord, suction feet, two rods that you’re supposed to screw together, and a power supply unit—delivered in a cardboard box as big as a moving box in miniature. It’s not something you pull out in thirty seconds and put back into a drawer. Anyone who wants spontaneity rather than a rigged setup is better off looking at the significantly cheaper RC Fucking Machine 2.0 shock vibrator instead, which gets by with a suction cup and USB charging.

Warranty, complaints, and the right of withdrawal

The manufacturer does not publish any warranty period for the item on its product page. It’s a genuine gap, and it should be factored into a purchase of almost 2 400 SEK. The only warranty information provided at the six sex shops comes from Lekosmek, which states a two-year product warranty. It’s a store statement, not a commitment from the manufacturer, and it therefore applies only to purchases made there.

What always applies, on the other hand, are your statutory rights. Under the konsumentköplagen, you have a right to make claims for defects in the goods for three years, regardless of what the manufacturer or the store commits to—and three years is therefore longer than the only warranty information shown here. With distance purchases, you also have a right of withdrawal for fourteen days under the lagen om distansavtal och avtal utanför affärslokaler. Be aware that, in practice, the right of withdrawal is limited for hygiene products that have been taken out of a sealed package; however, the right to make claims for defects always applies. If you have questions about what applies in your case, Konsumentverket guides you via Hallå konsument.

In addition to that, Mshop states a 30-day open purchase as a store condition. Open purchase is voluntary for the store and comes in addition to the right of withdrawal, not instead of it—and the same caveat applies there too for hygiene products with broken seals. The practical advice therefore becomes the same as always in this category: unpack carefully, save the packaging until you’ve test-run the machine, and check first that the power supply unit works and that the suction feet get a firm hold on the surface you intend to use it on.

One last piece of advice that specifically applies to mains-connected products. Elsäkerhetsverket (the Swedish Electrical Safety Authority) points out that an electrical product should be kept intact and used as intended. If the cable or the power supply unit is damaged, the product should not be used any further — and since the power supply unit here is the only part that converts 230 volts, it is also the part that should never be opened or repaired by yourself.
