Hismith 3.0 Pro vs Lovense Mini Sex Machine
The compact favorite against the heavyweight. Both are great; they're just built for different nights.
Reviewed by Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer) · Prices checked · How we rank
The verdict
Most people should get the Lovense Mini: it's $100 less, weighs 7 lb instead of 25, takes Vac-U-Lock toys as they come and runs from your phone. Choose the Hismith Premium 3.0 Pro if you ride big, heavy toys or crave depth, with a stroke that opens to 5 inches.
Our No. 1: Lovense Mini Sex Machine
- The Mini sets up in minutes and disappears into a closet afterward.
- The Hismith's heavy frame stays planted under a thick attachment.
- Both run from a phone, so either one works for long-distance play.

No. 1 · Lovense
Best for most people
Lovense Mini Sex Machine
Lovense shrank a real thrusting frame down to 7 lb. Vac-U-Lock toys push straight on, the Lovense Remote app runs patterns or hands control to someone else, and it packs into a bag.
Pros
- $100 less than the Hismith right now
- Light enough to carry with one hand
- Long-distance play through a shared control link
Cons
- Stroke tops out around 3 inches
- Big, heavy toys ask a lot of a compact frame
Why it ranks: The smart buy for most people: cheaper, easier to hide, and the Vac-U-Lock toy you already own probably fits it today.

No. 2 · Hismith
Best for big toys and power
Hismith Premium 3.0 Pro
Editor's pick, owned by our teamA 25 lb steel-and-ABS frame with a 100 W motor, a stroke you can open up to 5 inches, and three ways to run it: app, wireless remote or wired dial.
Pros
- Owners run thick, heavy attachments on it without it stalling
- Deeper reach than any compact machine
- A physical remote you can stop on a dime
Cons
- Vac-U-Lock toys need an adapter: $45 from Hismith, about $27 to $30 for third-party ones on Amazon
- Too heavy to tuck into a carry-on
Why it ranks: Our pick for big toys and long, deep strokes: a 100 W motor, a frame that stays planted under a heavy attachment, and up to 5 inches of reach. It's second here because most nights don't need that much machine.

Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)
Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)
The Lovense Mini is our No. 1 sex machine because it fits more lives. It folds down, it's light, and the app makes it a natural for couples and long-distance play.
The Hismith Premium 3.0 Pro is what we point people to when the toy is big or the craving is for depth. Its stroke runs up to 5.03 inches against roughly 3 on the Mini, and its weight keeps everything steady when the attachment is heavy.
Before you buy
Buying guide
The Mini is for you if
You live with roommates or thin walls, you want to put it away after, your toys are average size and already Vac-U-Lock, or a partner will be driving from their phone. It's also the cheaper way in.
The Hismith is for you if
You love big toys, you want strokes deeper than 3 inches, or you'd rather hold a real remote than unlock a phone. You'll need a corner of the floor to keep it in.
Toys and connectors
The Mini is Vac-U-Lock out of the box. The Hismith uses KlicLok: a Vac-U-Lock adapter is $45 from Hismith or about $27 to $30 third-party, and suction-cup plates start at $39. Pick the machine first, then the dildo.
Noise and space
Lovense rates the Mini at up to 60 dB. Hismith calls the 3.0 Pro quiet and its FAQ puts it around 40 to 50 dB. Either way, start on a low setting and put some music on.

FAQ
Common questions
- Is the Lovense Mini strong enough?
- For most people, yes. It reaches 260 strokes a minute. Where it runs out is depth and very heavy attachments, which is exactly where the Hismith shines.
- Can I use my Vac-U-Lock toys on a Hismith?
- Yes, with Hismith's KlicLok to Vac-U-Lock adapter. On the Mini they push straight on.
- Which is better for couples?
- The Mini, for most couples. It's easy to move between rooms and the Lovense app lets a partner run it from anywhere. The Hismith app does long distance too, and its remote is lovely for the person lying next to you.
- Which one is easier to store?
- The Mini by a mile. It's about a third of the Hismith's weight and comes apart for a bag.
- Does Lovense publish the Mini's motor wattage?
- Not on the pages we checked, so we compare what they do list: speed, stroke, weight and noise.
