The famous proverb, “Imitation is the best form of flattery” stands true with the Hitachi Magic Wand Original. This device is one of the most popular massager/vibrators in the world. However, replica manufacturers produce tons of these massagers as well. It is flattering that so many companies want to be the real magic wand. It also makes it very difficult to explain what a real vs fake is to a consumer. Legitimate companies want to educate consumers to show them the right from wrong products.

So why is the Hitachi Magic Wand Original so hard to find?

This item is sold on hundreds and thousands of websites and stores around the world. Although the Hitachi Magic Wand Original is limited to sales in North America, there are companies and websites around the world that sell this device. Granted, some of these products are the actual Hitachi Magic Wand Original that have been imported to different parts of the world. Then again, some are not authentic items and are currently being passed on to someone as an Hitachi Magic Wand Original. This is a problem.

Why is this a problem?

The Hitachi Magic Wand Original is made to conform to ETL safety standards in North America. This is precisely why the authentic Hitachi Magic Wand Original is only sold in North America. Once you start using the Magic Wand’s outside of North America, there is different power sources and variables at hand that make the device not operate within its parameters. For example, some use a step down or step up power converter which changes the voltage of the unit to conform to its current location of use. This is not ideal and could be dangerous to the user and the device because it essentially pushes the device to operate outside of the massagers normal parameters.

Many replica producing manufacturers don’t take the time to put a quality device together like the Hitachi Magic Wand Original. This is because it would cost too much for them to create such a high-quality device. What these manufacturers do is cut corners and create a subpar item that doesn’t have the same power and feel and the authentic magic wand.

I found it cheaper on a marketplace, is it real?

We often hear from customers that they purchased the Magic Wand from a marketplace such as Amazon or eBay. People sometimes save $20-$70 by doing so. The truth is, there are authentic Magic Wand Massagers selling on marketplaces. However, you will have a very hard time verifying if the device is in fact authentic. Some people believe that reviews say it all. Meaning, the more positive 5 star reviews, the better. This is not always the case.

On Amazon or any marketplace, reviews can be manipulated. The problem with verifying if the device is authentic requires the body of the massager to be opened up. This task should not be performed by anyone except the warranty company. Actually, attempting to check authenticity (or open the device) will void the warranty.

Piece of Mind

The Hitachi Magic Wand Original massagers we provide to consumers are 100% authentic. These massagers come with a fully 1 year warranty from the date of purchase and you will never have any doubt that the device internals are not authentic.
