Protect yourself from fakes with these easy identification tips.
Buy with Confidence: Spot the Real Magic Wand
1. Packaging (The Box)
A genuine Magic Wand always comes in a proper retail box.
If your product arrives in simple plastic or loose packaging, it is most likely counterfeit.
An original Magic Wand Original comes securely boxed and typically weighs around 680g.
2. Weight & Build Quality
Authentic Magic Wands are made from high-quality materials and feel solid in hand.
Both:
- Magic Wand Original
- Magic Wand Rechargeable
weigh over 500g.
If the device feels light or cheap, it is likely not genuine.
3. Power Cord
The Magic Wand is designed for the US market, so it comes with a US power plug.
- It can be used in the UK with a voltage adapter
- If the product comes with a UK plug already fitted, it is likely fake
4. Performance (Vibrations)
Counterfeit products are usually made with inferior components and lack power.
A genuine Magic Wand is known for its strong, consistent vibrations.
If the performance feels weak, it’s a major red flag.
5. Branding (Use of the Name “Hitachi”)
Authentic products do NOT use the name "Hitachi" anymore.
Correct product names are:
- Magic Wand Original
- Magic Wand Rechargeable
If “Hitachi” appears on the product or packaging, it is likely counterfeit.
6. Official Distributor
Genuine Magic Wands are distributed by Vibratex.
Always check the product labeling — it should clearly mention this distributor.
7. Model Number
The model HV-250R was discontinued in 2013.
- Any new product with this model number is fake
- Updated versions no longer include the Hitachi branding
- The switch design has also been updated in newer models
