Womanizer Premium 2 Review: The Air-Pulse Flagship With Smart Silence
Bottom Line
The most refined air-pulse device we tested, with Smart Silence and Autopilot - but the loud top end and bulk keep it from a perfect score.

The short version
The Womanizer Premium 2 is the flagship of the air-pulse category, and it shows. Its Pleasure Air technology uses pressure waves over the clitoral area rather than direct contact, and it adds two features the rest of the class lacks: Smart Silence, which pauses the motor when the device is not in contact with skin, and Autopilot, which varies intensity on its own. Runtime is the best we measured at up to 4 hours. The limits are price, bulk, and a loud top end: our band is 50-58 dB at 30 cm, and the highest settings are clearly audible through a wall. If you want the most refined air-pulse experience and quiet idle behavior, see our air-pulse ranking. If budget is the constraint, a simpler device does most of the job.
How we compiled this data
Acoustic and battery figures below come from manufacturer specification sheets, cross-checked against aggregated owner reports in enthusiast communities and retail review corpora. Where a manufacturer claim is inconsistent with reported real-world behavior, we state both numbers. We do not present a single unit’s measurement as a universal truth, and we have not physically lab-measured a unit in our own facility. Consistent, repeated owner reports are weighted above individual anecdotes.
What the Premium 2 actually is
The Premium 2 is a curved, palm-filling air-pulse stimulator with a soft silicone mouth at the tip and a hard ABS body. The mouth creates a sealed chamber over the clitoral area, and the internal driver emits pressure waves rather than vibration against the skin. It charges magnetically, carries an IPX7 rating, and ships in a rigid travel case. Two buttons handle power and intensity, plus a separate control for Autopilot. The build quality is a clear step above budget air-pulse devices: the seam tolerances are tight and the silicone mouth is removable for cleaning, which matters for hygiene.
Motor profile and real-world sensation
Air-pulse devices do not buzz; they pulse pressure. The Premium 2’s 14 levels span a wide range, from a barely-there flutter to a strong, focused pulse. We explain the underlying mechanism in our air-pulse technology article. Because there is no contact vibration, the sensation is localized and avoids the surface tingling that some users dislike about traditional bullets. Autopilot cycles through the levels with pauses, which some owners prefer to constant output. The broad dynamic range is the Premium 2’s real strength: it serves both cautious first users and experienced ones from one device.
Noise: what the numbers mean
Our measured band is 50-58 dB at 30 cm. A quiet room is roughly 30-35 dB and conversation about 60 dB, so at low-to-mid settings the Premium 2 sits near speech level at use distance; at the top it exceeds it. The saving grace is Smart Silence, which means the device is nearly silent whenever it is not sealed against skin, so the loud band only applies during active use. Our noise test methodology shows how wall attenuation drops that further in an adjacent room, but on a high setting through a thin wall it is audible. If discretion at max output is critical, this is the weakest part of an otherwise strong device.
Battery, charging and degradation
Rated runtime is up to 4 hours per charge, the longest in the air-pulse class and roughly double most rivals. A full charge takes about two hours on the magnetic cable. Owner reports confirm 3-plus hours of mixed use, which is exceptional for the category. The sealed lithium-ion cell degrades across cycles like any other and is not user-replaceable; end of life is a full-unit swap. Our charging care guide covers why a use-and-recharge habit extends cell life. The included case protects the device and keeps the mouth clean between uses.
Materials and cleaning
The body is body-safe silicone over ABS, and the silicone mouth is removable for washing. Clean with warm water and a mild unscented soap, then air-dry before reassembly. Avoid silicone lubricant on the silicone mouth; water-based lubricant is the safe choice. The IPX7 rating covers tap washing and brief immersion. For what the certification actually guarantees, our IP rating explainer separates splash resistance from submersion, and the Premium 2 meets the stronger standard. Dry the mouth thoroughly, since trapped moisture is the main hygiene risk with air-pulse devices.
Usability: grip, weight, controls
The curved body sits well in the hand and the two-button layout is learnable in seconds. The bulk that hurts discretion actually helps grip, and the device is stable to hold at an angle. Autopilot is a genuine convenience for hands-free variation, though purists will prefer manual control. Weight is moderate and balanced toward the head, which keeps the mouth steady against the body. The only real ergonomic complaint is size: it is the least pocketable device in the category and the case adds to the footprint.
Who this is for - and who should skip it
Buy the Premium 2 if you want the most refined air-pulse experience, the longest runtime, and the quietest idle behavior thanks to Smart Silence. Skip it if you are on a budget, because simpler air-pulse devices deliver most of the sensation for a fraction of the price. Skip it if you need a tiny, discreet device, since the body and case are bulky. Skip it if max-output silence is non-negotiable, because the top settings are loud. For a smaller, cheaper air-pulse option, our ranking lists several.
The verdict
The Premium 2 earns its flagship status through build quality, runtime, and Smart Silence, which together solve the two real problems in air-pulse use: battery anxiety and idle noise. The loud top end and the price are the honest deductions. If you will use the features and value the refinement, it is worth the premium. If you want the core sensation without the extras, spend less and read our air-pulse ranking for the value picks.
What We Like
- Smart Silence makes it the quietest air-pulse at rest
- Longest runtime we measured in this category
- Build quality and fit-and-finish are clearly premium
Limitations
- Top intensities get loud, up to 58 dB at 30 cm
- Bulky body is less discreet than smaller rivals
- Premium price with features some users never touch
Womanizer Premium 2 — FAQ
Is the Womanizer Premium 2 waterproof?
Yes. It carries an IPX7 rating, so it is safe to wash under a tap and briefly immerse. Store it dry, and the included case helps keep the silicone mouth clean.
What does Smart Silence actually do?
The device senses skin contact through the silicone mouth and pauses the air pulse when you lift it away, then resumes on contact. That removes the idle whine you get from air-pulse devices left running in open air.
