A penis milking machine that literally sucks the orgasm right out of your body? Yes, please. That’s precisely what Autoblow VacuGlide brings to the table: a suction-based stroker that you don’t have to have an erection to use. But it’s not just for people who have trouble getting hard—it’s for anyone with a penis that wants a high-tech, body-safe sucking-based stroker that will last for years. Join me to find out if this toy merits the high price tag.
My partner let me borrow his genitals for this experiment and I think his penis owes me a thank-you note. He even let me watch, and to be honest, it looked a bit like he was getting jerked off by a thermos. But he loved every minute of it.
To begin, he put lube in the sleeve as well as on his genitals and he put his dick in completely flaccid. After he tried it the first time, he immediately told me it was one of his favorite male sex toys. No question, he is obsessed. Next, he tried the different sizes, and his recommendation for selecting a size was to try them all before deciding on what’s best for your pleasure.
Overall, my partner thought that this simulated a quality blowjob with reasonable precision. He will be using it regularly, probably at least half of the time he masturbates. It’s better than his hand, which has had decades of practice, which is high praise. Further, my partner’s dick has a bit of a curve to its shape, so I was curious whether a hard, straight toy would work for him. Luckily, it wasn’t a problem at all.
Who Is This For? If you have the cash, this is the stroker to buy. It’s customizable, easy to use, and can take you from flaccid to orgasm in a matter of minutes. As an aid for those with erectile dysfunction, it can’t be topped. This device has quality written all over it; it’s well-made, gorgeous, and precise.
Who Is This Not For? If you’re new to sex toys, there are several more budget-oriented stops to make before you graduate to this top-of-the-line stroker that will still make masturbating more fun and accessible. Those who need a toy that can hide discreetly on the nightstand will be displeased with how much storage space this takes up. Lastly, if vibrations are a big part of your orgasm, this may be a miss.
You Can Buy It on the official Autoblow website for $899.95.

What Is Autoblow VacuGlide?
Billed as the Rolls Royce of autostrokers, the Autoblow VacuGlide strives to replicate the best blowjob of your life. With this high-quality machine, you get to pick the length of the stroke and the speed of the suction, tailoring the blowjob to your pleasure.
First Impressions and Features
Unboxing
When the box arrived, my partner and I were concerned about how huge this toy would be and where we would store it. Luckily, once we opened it, it was much smaller inside.
It comes with a backpack, so you can keep everything tucked away and organized until next time. It also comes with three sizes of strokers and body-safe sleeves, the machine, and a user manual (you can see all the items above). Having read both the user manual and watched the instruction videos, I found the instruction videos are easier to follow and make the setup much less intimidating.

The Autoblow VacuGlide has features galore, including:
- Three different sizes of strokers, with a body-safe sleeve for each size
- Adjustable stroke length
- 6-foot-long tube so you can be comfortably far from an outlet
- Capability to adjust pace and length

How To Use Autoblow VacuGlide?
It might seem that a blowjob-simulating toy with a price of just under $1k would be intimidating to use, confusing to set up, or complicated to store. Nothing could be further from the truth! Autoblow VacuGlide has a separate website offering tips and tricks for using its high-quality products. After watching a four-minute video, you’ll know exactly what you’re doing.
To save you from having to watch the video, I’ll summarize the setup steps below.
- Clean the receiver and internal sheath and plug the VacuGlide into the wall, and you’ll be ready to go. You don’t have to charge this toy, so it will be nearly ready to use straight from the packaging. Once it’s plugged in, use the on/off switch on the side of the machine to turn the power on.
- Next, select which size of stroker (sometimes called a receiver) is best for your penis from the small, medium, and large penis receivers. Remove the sleeve and clean it with soap and warm water, then re-insert it, which can be tricky, so watch this video for a helpful visual aid.
- Then, put the valve on top of the receiver you’ve chosen—this is the part that causes the suction. After that, plug the hose attached to the base machine into the receiver. Next, lube up your dick and insert it into the receiver. You may need more lubricant than you’re used to with this toy, so plan accordingly.
- The following step was the one I found most confusing: to turn on the suction, you push the pause button. Yes, when the toy is off, you press pause to get started. Then, the plus and minus buttons will accelerate or decelerate the pace. There are two more buttons to the right of the plus and minus under the word “stroking.” To use these buttons, you must press and hold them down. Strangely, pressing the plus button works much faster than the minus button, and the changes come more quickly. Then, if you need a break from the stimulation, press the pause button again. Pushing it yet again will resume your settings and stroke speed.
- The most complicated aspect of the setup is adjusting the stroke length. The manual recommends that you use the device at least once before attempting to adjust the stroke length because there is no standard stroke length to expect, meaning it may arrive at a different length for you than for someone else who purchased this toy, depending on the setting at which it left the factory. Fortunately, this is a step you only need to do once.
- If you think the stroke length should be shorter or longer, locate the Allen screw behind the clear window of the Autoblow VacuGlide. Put the Allen wrench into the Allen screw #2 at the far right end and turn it until screw #1 aligns with the slot opening. Then, slowly unscrew screw #1 just enough to loosen it a little. If you want it shorter, slide it towards screw #2 or slide it away from screw #2 to increase the length. Then, you’re done with this step forever!
- Determining whether the stroke length should be shorter or longer can be tricky. My partner recommends noticing if the stroking covers the entire shaft; you may need to lengthen it manually if it doesn’t. On the other hand, if the length is so long that the toy comes off, you may need to reduce it. Adjusting the length manually can help make a more significant change, while the buttons will create minor changes to the strokes.
- When you’re ready to begin, start with the lowest settings before moving on to higher ones, so you don’t find the toy overwhelming. Then, adjust the toy according to your pleasure preferences. That’s all there is to it!

My Personal Experience
My partner let me borrow his genitals—and real-life experience—for this experiment, and after how much he liked this toy, I think his penis owes me a thank-you note. He even let me watch, and to be honest, it looked a bit like he was getting jerked off by a thermos. But he loved every minute of it.
To begin, he put lube in the sleeve as well as on his genitals and he put his dick in completely flaccid. After he tried it the first time, he immediately told me it was one of his favorite male sex toys. No question, he is obsessed. Next, he tried the different sizes, and his recommendation for selecting a size was to try them all before deciding on what’s best for your pleasure.
Overall, my partner thought that this simulated a quality blowjob with reasonable precision. He will be using it regularly, probably at least half of the time he masturbates. It’s better than his hand, which has had decades of practice, which is high praise. He also found that it’s best for people who enjoy sucking stimulation more than friction or vibration. Further, my partner’s dick has a bit of a curve to its shape, so I was curious whether a hard, straight toy would work for him. Luckily, it wasn’t a problem at all.
We also noticed that the long power cord and 6′ tube prevent you from feeling seat-belted in the VacuGlide. You can set it up further away from an outlet if that’s more comfortable, and you can keep it right next to you on the bed or a nearby nightstand so you have more space. The toy also has an auto-shut-off after twenty minutes or so, which may be a nuisance for those who like to take their time. In the end, it wasn’t a significant issue.
Packaging
I wasn’t expecting the packaging to be fancy because it’s a rather large toy, and large toys usually come wrapped in plastic in a plain cardboard box, no matter the price. But the Autoblow VacuGlide came in a nice box with everything you need to begin.
Overall, the packaging was functional and more than giftable. As you can see in the image above, it looks like electronic equipment you might buy at the big box stores, and even out of the box, this dick-sucking machine could double as a stereo if you aren’t looking closely.
Design
The design is modern and sleek, though it resembles our vacuum in form and function. However, I loved this design because it isn’t pornographic like a pocket pussy, which makes it more inclusive for people who aren’t attracted to individuals with vulvas.\
The difference in size options also makes this more inclusive, but I’m not sure that it works with trans men or for people with substantially small penises. My partner tried it on his thumb and the receiver couldn’t create any suction whatsoever.
My favorite part of the design is that you can use it flaccid, making it a must-have quality toy for people with erectile dysfunction.
Material
The material that makes up the VacuGlide is easy to clean, and the machine itself looks modern and durable. I contacted customer support to find out what the sleeves were made of because the website didn’t have definitive information, and they got back to me the next day!
The sleeves are made of silicone, which is body-safe, durable, and typically waterproof. It’s an excellent choice for a sex toy material that you want to last a long time, and it is in contrast to the many stroker companies that use TPE, which is porous and can harbor bacteria.
Stimulations
Though the website says it’s the most intense masturbator in the world, there are a variety of settings to choose from, so don’t let the intensity scare you away.
You can watch how the toy functions before inserting your penis if you’re curious. The suction comes in little puffs of air and then releases, so you don’t need to worry about essentially sticking your dick in a black hole. You can control the pace of the suction pulses as well as how much of your penis is being stroked. The lights on the side of the machine indicate which speed setting you are at (image below), which is a helpful visual that some devices lack.
My partner said that the range of stimulations is perfect. On the low level, you could edge for hours if you wanted to. The higher settings draw out an orgasm more quickly. Even the highest stimulations were perfectly comfortable for him as long as he used enough lube.
This is not a rechargeable toy—it has to remain plugged into the wall. However, people who have used wands before know that sometimes, devices that need to stay plugged in are the most powerful. This is undoubtedly true in VacuGlide’s case.
Sound Level
The website says that the Autoblow VacuGlide is surprisingly quiet for its size, and I agree with that assessment. It sounds somewhat like a sewing machine, but with some music on, you wouldn’t be able to tell what was going on.
The sound level is one of the big selling points because you can use this more discreetly than several other strokers my partner has tried—even some that don’t have motors. Male sex toys can be loud and produce an unpleasant squelching sound, but this one is pretty quiet. When I tested it, the decibels ranged from 41 to 51.
If you take the device off while in use before turning off the sensations, it makes a loud sucking sound, so be wary of that. However, this adds to the realism of it because it sounds like your dick is exiting a mouth that is sucking. As long as you turn the machine off before pulling the toy off, you will be pleasantly surprised by the lack of noise—especially if you’ve used other dick-stroking devices.
Build Quality and Dimensions
The VacuGlide by Autoblow is a well-made machine with quality to spare. It’s gorgeous, and the parts fit together well. It’s rather large, and despite coming in a backpack, its dimensions preclude it from being considered travel-friendly.
The penis receivers come in three sizes, so it’s safe to say this will fit most penises (you can see the three sleeves in the image below). My partner felt the medium was best for him (that’s why I’ve nicknamed his dick Goldilocks), but for the sake of research, he also tried the large and the small.
When he put the large on, he had to press the receiver hard into his pubic bone to help create suction, but the sucking feeling was reduced to almost nothing. When he tried the small size on, it didn’t hurt, though my partner was nervous about that before starting. The smallest size was easier for hands-free use, though the medium was a bit more comfortable, and the smallest was never able to bring him to climax because it got pinchy when he had a full erection.
Pro Tip: If the sensations aren’t strong enough or the toy is coming off, use a smaller receiver size and that may solve the problem. Trying a couple of sizes before committing to one is your best option.
Ease of Use
The VacuGlide sucking machine takes time to learn and set up. You may have to adjust the stroke length (which is a one-time adjustment). Then you have to pick out the size you want and insert a sleeve, which isn’t the most intuitive process. Luckily, the video instruction guides make everything as simple as possible. However, you’ll probably want to plan on some trial and error before getting the most out of this machine.
My partner said it wasn’t hard to set up at all. His first time trying to put everything together including cleaning took him about ten to fifteen minutes to ensure everything was sterile and put together correctly.
Versatility
This machine only has one function: to replicate blowjobs and give you an orgasm even if you start flaccid. It excels at that one function, but if you don’t like the feeling of suction and stroking, you’ll be out of luck—and a thousand bucks.
The sucking and stroking mechanisms work together, so you can’t separate them for a more customizable experience. But it is versatile in some ways since it comes with different sizes of receivers and the ability to change the pace and intensity.
Further, this is a relatively large toy. Even though it comes in a backpack (image above), I wouldn’t use it for travel because of the storage space required unless I was going on a road trip and packing space wasn’t an issue.
Warranty and Support
Autoblow offers a one-year warranty from the original purchase date for the electrical parts and motor due to faulty workmanship or materials. Not covered in the warranty are the silicone sleeves or any deterioration due to wear and tear, which is typical in the sex toy world.
Minor Issues I Found During Testing
The price point is the most prominent issue. It’s expensive. But if you have the cash, it’s worth every penny because of the quality you receive. $1k for blowjobs whenever you want? That’s a steal.
However, my partner thought that for this price point, you should probably have app-capability for long-distance use, more stimulation options, and easier reach. Adding hands-free capability would make for an even better product since this toy targets the aging population, who might be more prone to grip issues.

Alternatives to Autoblow VacuGlide
Autoblow AI+
The Autoblow AI+ is another male sex toy that fits into the budget category compared with the VacuGlide, as the price is only $299, or $199 when on sale. The price of the AI+ is shocking due to how much high-quality tech integration this toy includes. It has a fun history, too. The technique the Autoblow AI+ uses wasn’t simply generated to be your average blowjob but was taken from thousands of hours of blowjob video analysis. See, science can be fascinating!
This tech-savvy sex toy incorporates artificial intelligence in the most creative ways. For instance, you can download blowjobs or control AI+ with a remote or your voice. You can switch between 250 positions, ten default patterns, and an AI option that provides a different experience every time, so the Autoblow AI+ is incredibly customizable and easy to adjust to your preferences. The receiver opening it comes with is mouth-shaped, which will appeal to anyone who wants a more realistic blowjob aesthetic.
This is the best choice for masturbating long-distance or handing over the controls to your partner. If you want to sync it with porn, though, you’ll need to upgrade to the Autoblow AI Ultra. No matter which you choose, you’ll receive a high-quality blowjob experience.
You can read our full Autoblow AI+ review to learn more about it and its specs.
Autoblow AI Ultra
Another option by the same company is the Autoblow AI Ultra. This device is similar to the prior one, except that you can sync the Autoblow AI Ultra with videos, making porn a more interactive experience. The Ultra comes with a mouth-shaped receiver as well, adding to the realistic quality of the blowjobs you receive. This choice is easier to use and smaller than the VacuGlide, so it will be more discreet and have less of a learning curve while maintaining a high-quality experience. You can use voice commands or create an app to adjust the experience to your liking. It’s quite a bit more versatile than the VacuGlide for a fraction of the price.
Typically, you’ll find that the price of the Autoblow AI Ultra is $300, but you can often find it for less on sale.
Kiiroo Keon
The Kiiroo Keon is another techie gadget that allows you to sync the sensations with VR porn or to one of your partner’s toys for long-distance play and is compatible with Fleshlights, making it highly versatile. It doesn’t come with a porn subscription, and it’s only compatible with some porn sites that you will eventually need to pay to use, so keep that in mind when deciding which milking machine to purchase. Another plus is that this is a rechargeable toy, so you won’t be stuck to the wall while masturbating.
Check out this complete review of Kiiroo Keon if you want to learn more.
Grab a Kiiroo Keon for around $249.
Lovense Solace
The Lovense Solace is a high-quality male masturbator that has app compatibility and is excellent for hands-free play. You can also sync this to cam shows and games, adding some much-needed versatility to your masturbation routine. Anyone impressed by intensity will love that the Solace goes up to 280 strokes per minute. Plus, you can create your own patterns, and it comes in a vaginal shape or a neutral one, making it inclusive for people who are attracted to different genders. This is the best choice for someone looking for a high-tech yet more budget-friendly option.
Its retail price is nearly $400, but that price drops to $189 when it is on sale.
Just make sure you read our Lovense Solace review first so you know its ins and outs like the back of your hand.

But if you want more options other than the Autoblow VacuGlide, here’s the full list of all the best sex toys for men we ranked and tested.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What Is the Best Lubricant for This One?
Since the penile sleeve is made from silicone, don’t go near any silicone lubricant. Silicone lubricant doesn’t mix well with sex toys made from the same material, and when used together can break down the body-safe surface of the silicone material, leaving it full of holes and waiting for bacteria to come and stay. At that point, it’s nearly impossible to sterilize.
Happily, you can avoid that nightmare by using water-based lubricant instead. Water-based lube will keep your silicone toys in good shape for years and increase their durability. The only downside is that some brands don’t stay slick for long. If the lube becomes tacky mid-masturbation session, spritz it with some water to reactivate its slipperiness.
Autoblow also sells some lubricant that works well with the toy, called Fap Lube for Men, which will work well with this device. The only downside is the gendered marketing—but the quality is there.
Is Autoblow VacuGlide Waterproof?
The body of the machine is certainly not waterproof. However, the sleeves are made from silicone, which is waterproof and easy to clean. So, while you can’t use this toy near water (it’s a plugged-in toy, after all), you can easily clean the penis receiver submerged in water and not have to worry about damaging that part of the toy.
How Do I Clean Autoblow VacuGlide?
The materials used make for easy cleanup. After you’re done, remove the sleeve for cleaning. To remove the sleeve, pop off the plastic top and pull the sleeve ends that are folded over the receiver, and the sleeve will come right out. Then, wash the sleeve, receiver, and cap with warm antibacterial soap and water, drying them with a lint-free cloth.
How Do I Store Autoblow VacuGlide?
Autoblow VacuGlide fits neatly in the included backpack, so if you want to put it away, that’s an ideal spot for discreet, safe storage. If you prefer to keep it handier, you can keep it accessible under your bed. Just remember to wash the sleeve before each use in case it has gathered any dust or bacteria.
Is It Shipped Discreet?
Yes, the Autoblow VacuGlide comes in discreet packaging. It arrives in a plain brown cardboard box, and the return address is a warehouse for several companies, so your privacy will remain intact.
However, it’s less discreet once the toy is out of its packaging. Though it looks like a nondescript electronic device, it has “Autoblow” writ large across the body and the receiver, making it easily discernible as a sex toy. It would be preferable if it used initials or something more discreet for those who accidentally leave this toy out when people are over. As is, you’ll want to put it away after each use.
Can I Use It Hands-free?
This would be a difficult toy to use hands-free if you can’t start with an erection. The sleeve slips off a bit unless you hold it steady until you’re fully hard. Once my partner had an erection, though, the sleeve stayed on and stroked and sucked like a dream. Although, it seems like if you have a lot of pubic hair or a slender penis, it may be more challenging to use this toy without your hands since it could negate the seal that’s necessary for sucking, no matter how stiff the erection. The best position to use this toy hands-free is on your back so that gravity helps with your quest.
If you can devise a way to suspend the hose during use, you could use this hands-free. Unfortunately, neither my partner nor I are that handy. Don’t plan on using this toy hands-free, and if you can, consider it a bonus.
If you want hand-free functionality for your toy, perhaps this list of hands-free masturbators suits you better.
