After one year, I hoped to get a full-size double-ended machine, but Hismith's Quadruple Penetration Machine price is beyond my budget.
One night I ran across this website (adultrepdao.com) in Google that claims to sell high quality Chinese-manufactured double-ended sex machine FM18 for a modest $399 – $469, now their price range $369 – $469, they added Hollow T-frames on shelf to stay competitive, here highly recommend Solid T-frames + Dual Control, solid for best stability when thrusting, in addition to the wired speed controller, also the Dual Control adds the wireless remote control with 18 different thrust modes. It's clear that the company, and its proud owner, is based in China. I don't know more about them, so I am hesitant buying products from them. However, there were two factors that made me eventually pull the trigger. First, the website goes to some length to install trust and credibility, I searched their site domain on Whois, over 9 years old domain, and got very great reviews from reddit and fetish forum. Everything you would ever want to know about the products is clearly explained either in text or in any of the several videos it contains, very professional, unlike other traditional boring shopping sites. Second, 469 bucks is just cheap enough for me to go "fuck it" and they accept PayPal. If this really was a scam, PayPal should in theory have my back.
Okay, so five minutes after making my order I received an order completion system email. A few minutes later I received another email asking if it is correct for shipping information, which will prepare for fast shipment, they offer express shipping (DHL as default) on orders over $150. My point is that the customer service was immediate and remarkably good as Hismith. Every claim the website made ended up being completely true. It's not a scam.
This is what I ordered:
1 x FM18 (dual control + solid t-frames)
1 x Vac-U-Lock adapter
1 x Suction Cup
1 x Spring adapter
1 x A04 Big Dildo attachment - flesh
I also made a separate order for a Doc Johnson Vac-u-lock and suction base dildo on Amazon, which was another $80.
Roughly a week later the package arrived, Discreet Packaging & Delivery as they said. It even had a note inside for the customs officials to be careful with the contents (as most packages from China will get inspected. I've heard. Mine seemed no exception.)
So, let's talk about the machine itself.
As far as I can tell it looks and works exactly as the one demonstrated on the store page. There's really nothing bad I can say about is. It is that machine, it's solid and the motor is pretty strong. It's quiet, at least quiet enough to not become a distraction when you're using it.
The updated extra white rubber bearing sliding system at the output shaft, not a bare opening, avoid noise, friction, and prevent parts from wearing down, make every stroke in extremely quiet way.
I only have a couple of minor complaints. The power brick feels extremely light and cheap. This is probably the most likely point of failure, however I'm not an electrical engineer and so far, it's worked fine. So, this ended up being a non-issue.
The suction cup adapter works surprisingly well same as Hismith's suction cup, as long as you have a dildo that can attach to it. An absolute MUST have! Suction cup is pushed down and re-enforced every time the dildo is pushing forward into a person's body. Works way better than just a simple rod attachment. Most ordinary suction cup dildos within 8.6 cm in diameter, will definitely fit but my Bad Dragon toys won't. I actually went as far as to buy a cheap metal plate, drill a hole in it and assemble my own suction cup adapter. Despite looking weird it works like a fucking charm!
The Vac-u-lock adapter worked as advertised. Quality metal, sturdy attachment for vac-u-lock toys. Again, I had to order a compatible dildo separately.
The Spring Flexible adapter is nice attachment for making toys easier to use. It increases the realism and helps maintain a decent angle if you move around, and this has just the right amount of flex. Very good for flexibility and different positions.
This machine… it's strong (strong enough to rock itself off my table). And like any good machine it doesn't give a FUCK about soft fleshy humans in its way. It has enough torque to push you forward as it thrusts, however I noticed that when faced with a particularly big dildo and a tight hole (I'm admittedly a bit of a size queen) it will need some help to penetrate. To be fair we're talking about extremes here. What happens then is that the motor will continue to push but the axel stops turning until you help it push through or you move out of its way. (This probably puts stress on the motor. For the reason I always penetrate before setting it in motion.)
It's actually pretty fun when, let's say, a horse dildo accidentally pulls out and then repeatedly flops forward and slaps your butt as if trying to re-penetrate.
Once inside it will go as deep as your body will let it and the maximum thrust length is more than I can handle, so in my case it leaves nothing to be desired. I personally like to put the thrust length at its middle setting. The shortest setting works very well with plugs and is a safer way to experience the maximum speed.
I am most satisfied with its double-sided thrusting design, which means it can fuck two people at the same time. It's possible to detach one of the bars, so that to use it as a solo machine.
The FM18 is a classic fucking machine that uses a motor to rotate a flywheel, this flywheel is linked to a thrust rod by a link arm. The link arm translates the rotational movement of the flywheel into the linear movement of the thrust rod.
This arrangement is very common on fucking machines as it is very efficient and reliable. The faster the flywheel rotates, the quicker the dildo on the end of the thrust rod moves in and out.
The length of thrust is critical, and you want to set it to a length that you can comfortably take. You don't want a dildo slamming into your cervix or conversely dropping out of you on every stroke.
If you need to adjust the length of thrust (how deeply the machine thrusts into you), you will need to undo the nut on the back of the flywheel where the link arm connects to it, and easy to adjust by hand. No tool required. But here we’d like to mention that, slightly loosen the screw 2 turns, no more than 4 turns.
The control box is as much your salvation as your own undoing. The red button allows you to stop the machine at any time and the dial lets you to go from a gentle push to fucking reckless abandon. The half-point setting it's already pounding you pretty hard and is more than enough to satisfy me. The maximum setting is nothing less than ferocious and has the potential to transform you into a drooling, quivering mess.
The wireless remote-control mode is controlled by a red switch on the body and this wireless controller. Speed up, speed down and variable patterns, 18 different thrust modes. (Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X-LgpTKFo2HGPl6nt7EuakevOXQypaYs/view?usp=sharing)
It's a little behind Hismith as it not offering app control just yet (though their rep says it’s coming soon! ). So if that’s a must for you, you’ll probably prefer the Hismith.
You can easily adjust the angle of the machine and all that works well, in my experience it's pretty much perfectly aligned in its topmost horizontal position. Then rubber feet on the machine makes sure it doesn't move around much on its own, unless if you really crank it up or when the dildo is hits your limit. I place it so that the back feet are against the door still of my bathroom which keeps if from moving but the machine still had a tendency to turn laterally if I'm accepting it at an angle. But now Ground Anchor for securing FM18 machine are also sold separately. Overall, this is a sturdy, heavy double-ended machine that will do its job perfectly fine for most people. It certainly does for me.
I adore this machine it as like Hismith, literally gives new life to my collection of toys and all I have to do is close my eyes and I'm there, on all four, getting to pound by a hung beast without restraint. Well worth my money.
Downside is there's always a mess afterwards cuz my wife is a squirter...
