Lovense Max 2 vs Svakom Sam Neo 2 Pro: Contractions or Suction?
The Lovense Max 2 and the Svakom Sam Neo 2 Pro are two app-controlled masturbators that can also be operated remotely with a partner. The first relies, according to Lovense, on contractions and 360° vibrations around an interchangeable textured sleeve; the second, according to Svakom, on a trio of suction, vibration, and sleeve heating up to 38°C. Both claim compatibility with interactive video content, making them direct competitors. This comparison is based solely on the information published by both manufacturers on their product pages: neither device has been tested by us.

360° contractions vs. heated suction: two different mechanics
Both product pages describe distinct stimulation principles. Lovense presents the Max 2 as a contraction-and-vibration masturbator acting “from base to tip,” with the sleeve tightening and releasing around the penis while vibrations wrap around the area at 360°. The thrusting motion remains manual: the brand specifies that the user controls speed, depth, and rhythm themselves, with vibrations adjusted via buttons or the app. Svakom, on the other hand, describes a rhythmic suction mechanism paired with vibrations claimed to reach 8,300 per minute, along with a heating rod that brings the sleeve up to 38°C. The brand claims 16% stronger suction and 38% faster vibrations compared to the original Sam Neo. Heating does not appear on the Max 2’s product page.
Lovense ecosystem: controlling another toy with your movements
This is the most structural difference between the two pages. Lovense documents a Toy Sync feature: the movements applied to the Max 2 trigger a real-time reaction in another paired Lovense device. The brand cites three specific pairings, with the Edge 2 prostate massager, with Nora, and with Lush 4, explaining that thrusting motions control the other toy’s vibrations or rotations, even remotely. The Lovense Remote app also combines intensity and rhythm control, the creation of custom contraction modes, and synchronization with a video or live stream. The Sam Neo 2 Pro’s page advertises shared control with a partner, text chat, video calling, and sync with interactive content, but does not mention a second device being controlled reciprocally through motion.
Battery life, charging, and maintenance: numbers that don’t compare directly
Lovense states that the Max 2 offers between 95 and 215 minutes of battery life depending on usage, with a charging time of 100 minutes, and up to 120 hours of standby. Svakom indicates that the Sam Neo 2 Pro provides one hour of continuous use after two hours of charging, with the heating rod powered separately: 560 mAh, an hour and a half of charging for about 24 minutes of operation. Heating is therefore managed as a separately rechargeable accessory. On the maintenance side, the two brands don’t offer the same level of protection: Lovense states an IPX6 rating for the Max 2, while Svakom distinguishes between a non-waterproof housing and an IPX7 waterproof sleeve, which points toward cleaning only the detached sleeve.
Sleeves, size, and warranty
Svakom publishes full measurements: 228 × 75 × 75 mm for the device, 743 g, and an internal sleeve measuring up to 140 × 45 × 45 mm, allowing compatibility to be checked before purchase. Lovense lists a weight of 750 g and ABS and TPE materials, but doesn’t provide dimensions on this page. However, the brand highlights the interchangeability of the Max 2’s sleeves: a neutral ribbed sleeve is included, and a vagina-shaped sleeve, described as softer and more realistic, is sold separately. On warranty, the claims differ significantly: one year for the Max 2 according to Lovense, versus two years of replacement coverage and ten years of quality support according to Svakom.
Where the Sam Neo 2 Pro claims an edge
On its own product page, the Sam Neo 2 Pro lists several features the Max 2 doesn’t claim: sleeve heating up to 38°C, suction-based stimulation rather than contraction-based, the “Extended O” mode that lowers vibration and suction to minimum intensity with one press, as well as a travel lock and battery indicator lights. Svakom also publishes precise internal dimensions, advertises an IPX7 waterproof sleeve, and offers longer coverage: two years of replacement and ten years of quality support.
Max 2 or Sam Neo 2 Pro: which one to choose?
The Lovense Max 2 — The Max 2 is better suited to those who want to play as a couple remotely within the Lovense ecosystem: the Lovense Remote app, syncing with videos or livestreams, and the Toy Sync feature that makes an Edge 2, a Nora, or a Lush 4 react to thrusting motions are all documented by the brand. Its claimed battery life, up to 215 minutes, and its IPX6 rating for the full device point in the same direction.
The Svakom Sam Neo 2 Pro — The Sam Neo 2 Pro is better suited to those looking for suction-based stimulation combined with 38°C heating, a feature absent from the Max 2’s product page, and who appreciate having exact sleeve measurements as well as a claimed two-year warranty.
Frequently asked questions
Do both devices really work remotely?
Yes, according to both manufacturers. Lovense states that the Max 2 is controlled via the Lovense Remote app, with intensity and rhythm control, and that its movements can control a Nora or a Lush 4 remotely. Svakom states that the Sam Neo 2 Pro connects via Bluetooth to the SVAKOM App, allowing control to be shared with a partner at any distance, with chat and video calling.
Can both be rinsed under water for cleaning?
The claims differ. Lovense states an IPX6 rating for the Max 2, described as water-resistant. Svakom specifies that the Sam Neo 2 Pro’s housing is not waterproof and that only the sleeve is, with an IPX7 rating. In this second case, cleaning therefore applies to the detached sleeve, not the entire device.
Which one is quieter?
Neither manufacturer’s page publishes a measured noise level for these models. Lovense’s FAQ does raise the question for the Max 2, but the answer isn’t included in the content reviewed, and Svakom doesn’t address the topic at all. We therefore have no comparable data, and we haven’t tested these devices ourselves.
