Svakom Alex Neo 2 — Test & Review

My experience

First Impressions

My initial impression of the Svakom Alex Neo 2, an interactive thrusting masturbator, was one of anticipation and curiosity. The product’s key features, such as its seven thrust modes, app control, and video interactive support, were intriguing and set high expectations. Additionally, the prospect of it being easy to clean was a welcoming factor. The price, at around $150 (often available for $110–$120), seemed slightly on the expensive side, but this was to be assessed during actual usage.

App control

There are 2 apps you can use with the Alex Neo 2, the Svakom App and the Feel Connect App. Basically, with the Svakom app, you can control the toy, and it also allows long-distance control. Then there is the Feel Connect app, which allows you to watch interactive content with your toy. I haven’t tried watching interactive content with the toy, so I can’t comment on that, but connecting the toy with the Svakom app is fairly easy. You simply download the Svakom App for your phone (either iOS 12 or Android 8.0 at least) and follow the instructions within the app, like activating Bluetooth on the device and synchronizing it with the app.

Thrust Modes

So aside from the interactive mode in which the toy should move based on the interactive video (I haven’t tested this feature), the Alex Neo 2 has 7 different modes, which range from slower and more consistent movements to faster and more inconsistent movements. You can also smoothly transition from one mode to another by simply pressing the power button once. Based on what mode you select, you can prolong or shorten your session due to the intensity of the toy.

What Worked for Me

Despite its somewhat intimidating appearance, the device was straightforward to operate. Charging, removing the cap, holding down the power button, and applying lubrication were the only necessary steps to get it ready to use. Furthermore, cleaning the Alex Neo 2 was notably hassle-free, with the sleeve being easily removable for separate cleaning using water and toy cleaner or soap. The drying process was also accelerated by placing a short towel inside the sleeve.

What Didn’t Worked for Me

On the other hand, some aspects of the Alex Neo 2 left room for improvement. First, the sleeve’s texture didn’t offer much of a stimulating experience, and then the thrusting action of the toy was noticeably loud, which detracted from the overall experience. You might counter this by putting headphones on, but still, this is a major negative aspect for me.

Alex Neo 2 vs. Competitors

Besides the Alex Neo 2, I own a product very similiar to the Alex Neo 2 in terms of main features, namely the Keon by Kiiroo. While the Keon is more pricey than the Alex Neo 2, it is, in my opinion, a better product. Not only can you choose from different stroke lengths or stroke speeds, but you can also use many different textures (under the premise that you have them, as they cost extra). Like the Alex Neo 2, you can remotely control the Keon and also watch interactive videos with it. While the Keon is also loud (but not on the scale that the Alex Neo 2 is), it offers a very broad range of stimulation when you buy multiple FeelStar strokers, which range from low stimulation over to high stimulation. So, for those who are willing to spend $100–150 more on a product, I can only recommend investing it in a Keon. However, for a more budget-friendly option, the Alex Neo 2 also works well.
