The One Open-Ended Stroker Review
My Verdict
I really wanted to like The One Open-Ended Stroker, I really did. Initial impressions were decent — nice packaging, clean design. It looked great. After charging, lubing and inserting I was met with a lot of... blah. The unit itself feels very cheap and the TPE stroker insert is very generic in its pattern (lots of little nubs). The 6 patterns are so similar it almost seems pointless to have them. Don't get me wrong, it did feel "good" using the stoker but there wasn't enough felling or movement to ever take me over the edge. I would like to state that I don't have the girthiest penis so I'm sure that contributed. Overall, I won't be getting much use out of this stroker but maybe you'll have more luck.

Personal Experience
My Initial Thoughts
I have to admit, I was super excited about receiving The One Open-Ended Stroker. I had never tried an open-ended stroker and other similar toy seemed to have rave reviews. My excitement was quickly met with disappointment as the entire unit just felt cheap. The plastic seemed thin and hollow and I was concerned if I ever dropped it that it would shatter like glass. The included sleeve felt nice but the lack of variation in design and the large size of the opening just left me wanting more… literally… I was completely unsatisfied. Don’t get me wrong it felt nice, but I was not able to orgasm with the unit by itself.Progressive Use
After several more uses and I had my partner help and we included more play. Having her take the wheel definitely helped but I still struggled to “get there”. After using it for a while she said her hand and arm were tired to we switched to other play options to finish up. I did have some luck incorporating other toys into the play session but it was a lot of work considering I have to hold this large unit and what ever other device I was using to help stimulate me. I would love to tell you to run and grab this but my experience was not enough for me to recommend this unit. Maybe if you have a girthier penis or aren’t easily overstimulated you’ll have more luck. But we struggled to really get into this toy.Design
The design of the One Open-Ended Stroker is pretty straight forward. Opening to insert your member into the TPU sleeve. Simple, easy to use button that won't turn on easily if traveling. Reasonable handle to grip while using. There is a slight texture to the outside of the abs casing that helps with grip when all lubed up. All these things are good. On the other hand, the design is very simple. A bare black plastic device akin to a short hairdryer. The plastic they used feel very cheap as well. like if you dropped it, it could shatter into a million pieces. Even the sleeve just has a gaggle of nubs in it and nothing else. For the most part I don't mind the design but it also isn't anything special.
Ease of Use
It really doesn't get much easier than charge, lube, insert, and turn on. The button they used has a decent feel to it and needs to be held to turn on so it wont be accidentally turned on if its in a carryon or bag. The handle is a decent size but can also be unwieldy when turned on. I struggled to hold it "in place" while just holding the handle. I found more luck while holding the round "head" portion of the device. Both the handle and head are pretty big so those with smaller hands or grip issues could struggle with this.
Quality
The ABS plastic used on the One Open-Ended Stroker does not feel premium at all. It feels hollow and easily breakable. Even the movement mechanism seems like it could break easily. The TPU sleeve feels good but lack in any sort of variation only having nubs scattered about. It's also very noisy. I didn't feel comfortable using this all the time due to how loud it was and since there isn't a lot of variation in patterns it is just loud all the time.
Price
This stroker wasn't priced badly at $79.99 and seems to go on sale pretty frequently to $59 or even $49.99. There isn't much in the packaging except for the unit, sleeve, and charging cable but this doesn't really need much else. A small bottle of lube would always be welcome though.
Performance
I was honestly expecting to love this toy. I had seen them in reviews and videos and was very excited. But with the first use it was just.....meh. Sure, it felt good but it did not feel good enough to every get me to peak pleasure with other stimulation. The patterns built-in were very similar so I didn't vary too far from the initial setting. It did charge fairly quickly and the standard 2.5mm to usb charging cable worked well. Again, the noise of the unit did detract from its use.
Packaging
Packaging for the One Open-Ended Stroker was pretty standard. Simple box with the included unit, charging cable, and small instruction sheet. The TPU sleeve was contained in its own "bag" to keep it clean, which was appreciated. The box was labeled with a picture of the unit so there isn't much discretion with the box. Overall, The packaging was decent. Especially for this price point.
Materials and care
The One Open-Ended Stroker was made of an ABS plastic main body and a TPU sleeve. The sleeve was easy to insert and remove so cleaning it was a breeze. If you got any lube or other fluids inside the housing though, things got more complicated. With the design of the stroker there is a sliding bar in the middle of the head that holds the sleeve. Below that was a lot of space for fluids to gather. Reaching this space was another issue though. you had to maneuver the bar out of the way to try to get a wet rag in there to clean. Definitely not the easiest to clean.
