The Solace is exceptionally well made but…
The Solace is exceptionally well made as you would expect from Lovense, the toy feels sturdy, clamps and fittings are all metal, no cheap plastic here, and lives up to the quality you've come to expect. Clean up is quick and easy. Sound level is acceptable, more on the quiet side but still not something you would want to use in public. The ability to sync with media and games is fantastic, though not all media has the Close Caption code for accurate patterns, it is capable of syncing to sound. Battery does not die during use!! However there are some issues I'd like to point out. The sleeve has tabs or wings if you will and these silicone tabs need to fit inside recesses in holder as you clamp it down, if misaligned, this can crush, pinch, tear or cut the sleeve starting from that point. The motor is just a bit too weak for its function, the Solace has good head game but when it comes to deep strokes it stalls out about 2 inches down the shaft, I admit I have a little bit of girth but nothing unreasonable, this also makes the penetrating strokes struggle and slow while the retraction is fast, the imbalance is a bit of a distraction from the fun. I assume this choice for a weaker motor was made to extend battery life and address overheating as this toy does get pretty hot, there is even cooling vents on the casing. In the end, this is something I feel I will use intermittently rather than daily which is a shame as it has excellent battery life, a little addon to certain game or for syncing to media. I will have to settle with the Max2 and Calor for the more daily multi use.
