That's not a Hitachi on the left.
Hitachi don't make those anymore.
Hitachi rebranded their magic wands because they didn't want their brand to be permanently associated with sex toys
They did not rebrand them. They stopped manufacturing them completely. They didn't license it to other manufacturers, they sold the rights outright. They have entirely divested themselves.
This isn't a Hitachi or a modern third party version; this one operates on DC and has button controls and a power button instead of one chunky switch.
Hitachi really missed the man in the canoe when they stopped at 110v. Could have made a high-end 240v dryer plug model to really drive it home.
Three. Phase. Sex. Toys.
When does it stop being a vibrator and start being a reciporcating saw?
