Apollo Hydro Power Stroker Review

Personal Experience

Initial Thoughts

First Test

Second Test

Design

The suction cup design was great and worked very well! Otherwise, I would say the rest of the toy is a bit average. The stroker texture was not the best when compared to the feel of others and I thought the toy takes up a lot of space. It didn't feel like a cheaply made toy and the vibrations were great. However, the design overall didn't make it feel like a luxurious toy for me.

Ease of Use

The Apollo Hydro Stroker is incredibly easy to set up. I thought the suction cup would take some getting used to but it was very easy to stick on a shower wall and also very simple to remove. The vibration speeds were also very intuitive--no long presses or travel locks, just pressing the power and vibration button was all that was needed. The only thing I could think of related to ease of use might be that the toy is kind of large so if you are using it in a small space or shower, then it might be difficult.

Quality

The Apollo Hydro Stroker felt neither luxurious or cheap. It works for what it's intended to do and nothing more in my opinion. The only area that could be improved here is the interior quality of the stroker as I feel there are a plenty of other strokers that have better quality interior textures or materials.

Price

Based on the quality of this toy, I believe the price is a bit steep at $67.99. The area that could be improved most is the interior texture of the toy and perhaps some other touches to make it feel more expensive such as detailed instructions (there weren't really any, just generic instructions for all of this brand's toys). There are some great features to this toy such as the suction cup or vibrations but combined, I don't think they are worth the full price. I would wait for a sale to buy this toy.

Performance

I thought the quality of the vibrations for this toy were very nice with lots of variation. There were many options; none were weak and they were neither overly loud or quiet. I felt that the overall size of the toy could have been smaller.

Packaging

The packaging for the Apollo was basic--some graphics and information on the box and very minimal packaging on the inside. If I had seen the toy on a physical store shelf, I might have thought it was a slightly less expensive toy.

Materials and care

The Apollo has a large ABS plastic case and TPR stroker interior which is all waterproof. The suction cup is very strong and easy to remove which also makes the toy perfect for the shower. It doesn't come with any storage case or bag but it dries very quickly and the lack of rechargeable batteries means there's no charging time.
