VeDO Hummer 2.0 Review
My Verdict
The Hummer 2.0 from VeDO provided minimal stimulation and seems to be more hassle than it's worth to maintain/keep clean. I'm pretty disappointed as I've effectively paid $400 for a vibrating sleeve. The suction provided by the toy was a nice novelty that I hadn't experienced in a toy before, but the feeling it provided only lasted a short time. The hassle of getting it set up and cleaning up all the lube afterwards didn't feel like a good use of time when I can grab a smaller sleeve and get more pleasure from it. As much as I really want to justify my $400 purchase, I don't think I can and the Hummer will likely end up collecting dust in a corner of my closet.

About The VeDo Hummer 2.0
The Hummer is large two part toy, the sleeve and the pump, that also comes with a remote control. You can use the sleeve alone and just have the vibrations, or connect it to the pump to add suction. The pump has 9 different modes: Mode 1 is just a standard "suck in and out", you can control the speed and intensity by pressing the + and - buttons on the pump unit or on the remote. There are 6 speeds. Modes 2 through 9 are preprogrammed "scenes" where it will automatically speed up, slow down, and some times even stop for a bit. Each of these scenes only lasts for about 4 minutes and after that, the pump turns off. You need to press the mode or power button again to start it back up. You cannot increase/decrease the intensity of modes 2 through 9. If you press the intensity adjustment buttons while one of the scenes is active, it will automatically switch to mode 1 and stay there.
The vibrations of the VeDo Hummer 2.0 are noisy, extremely powerful, and somewhat rumbly

Personal Experience
Unboxing + Assembly
The packaging of the Hummer 2.0 definitely makes you feel like you’re getting a high quality product. The box is surprisingly heavy (I guess it needs to be with all the machinery inside) and it’s laid out just like in their promo video. Once you take out the foam insert, there are three boxes underneath that are clearly labeled: Power Supply, Hoses, and USB Cable. There is an instruction booklet on how to set everything up, but it’s pretty self explanatory. There are two hoses that connect to a hollow square, I’m not sure what that does, and then you just plug one side into the pump and the other into the top sleeve. It is also mentioned in the instruction booklet and on a sticker on the pump unit that you need to run the pump at max speed before your first use. I’m not sure why that is, but I did turn it up to max speed and let it run for a minute before turning it off. The sleeve also has a built in vibrator that charges via a USB to barrel connector. It does not appears to be possible to remove the vibrator from the black casing/sleeve. The sleeve comes “pre-assembled”, I just took it apart to clean and to take pictures. Advertising says that the sleeve has an insertable length of 6.5 inches but it’s definitely closer to or maybe a little under 6 inches. There is also ~2inches at the top for the hose to be inserted, you’re definitely not getting your dick through that part of the sleeve, it’s TINY. The inside of the sleeve is all single texture. They’re definitely larger than just nubs, they’re roughly 0.4inch/1cm long and relatively stiff. There is also a cut out in the sleeve for the vibrator to sit in so you can feel the vibrations more than if you just strapped a bullet vibrator to the outside of a normal sleeve. The remote, however, feels surprisingly cheap comparatively because it is extremely light and the buttons feel mushy (though, take that with a grain of salt as I love mechanical keyboards and can get pretty particular about buttons/switches).The 1st Experience
Okay so, in hindsight, this wasn’t the best way to test a new toy but I had a fantasy I wanted to try out (“locking” myself in the trunk of my car) so that’s exactly what I did. As soon as I got home from work, I climbed into my trunk with my Hummer and went at it. I can’t remember a whole lot about what happened, being locked in a pitch black trunk and all, but I finished in less than 10 minutes and remember it just feeling “okay”. One thing I do remember was that the sleeve didn’t move up and down on my cock like I was expecting from their ad reel (0:46) which I was disappointed about.Trying Again
The next day, I decided to play the more “traditional” way, just me laying on my bed. I re-read and manual and it suggests putting 0.5oz of lube into the sleeve AND applying another 0.5oz of lube onto yourself (and to add more if the sleeve isn’t moving). The instruction book also recommends inserting yourself halfway before turning on the pump so I did that as well. With me lying on my back and cock pointed straight up towards the ceiling, the sleeve wouldn’t stay halfway on, it’s own weight would make it fall down so I held it up halfway and then turned on the pump. After turning on the pump, the sleeve would move a TINY bit, I’m talking like.. maybe a centimeter up and down and as soon as I let go, it would fall down so that my entire cock was inside the sleeve. Once I was all the way in, the sleeve did not move up and down at all, and it just felt like something or someone was lightly squeezing me, kind of like a stress ball. At this point I just let go of the sleeve so that it was just lying on my stomach, it was just pulsing on my cock but not moving up and down. I tried mode 2 and 3 but both of those timed out before I could finish so I switched to mode 1 at max speed. Again, it just kind of felt okay, I definitely feel more pleasure using my hand. I don’t recall how long I was on mode 1 but it was clear I wouldn’t be finishing any time soon and the experience wasn’t all that pleasurable so I decided to try turning on the vibrator on the sleeve. I gotta say, the vibrator is a POWERHOUSE. I don’t think I’ve ever use a vibrator that strong before!! It’s pretty loud and made the whole sleeve feel like it’s vibrating. The vibrations definitely don’t feel localized to one location. Needless to say, I came shortly after.3rd Times A Charm?
This time I went balls to the wall with the lube, putting a good, 4 or 5 SOLID squeezes of lube into the sleeve and slathered it all over my lower area. I definitely used more than the recommended 1 ounce. While getting myself comfortable, I accidentally broke the vacuum seal in the sleeve and a whole lot of lube started leaking out the bottom (good thing I had a towel out!). Anyways I put another couple of pumps of lube in the sleeve, got settled in and turned on the machine. To my disappointment, it was almost an exact repeat as my 2nd experience, the sleeve did not move up and down at all and all the stimulation I was getting was from the sleeve being pulsed/squeezed. I tried modes 8 and 9 this time and again, wasn’t able to finish so I switched over to mode 1 on the highest setting. I had sort of committed to trying to come with just the sucking feature so I let it go for a good, 15-20 minutes but unfortunately couldn’t get there. Turned on the vibrator and again, came shortly afterward. Sadly, I think I waited a little too long to finish because my cock hurt a little bit, like the skin had been rubbed off. There was still plenty of lube inside the sleeve though, it made a small puddle once I pulled out. I also somehow got some lube into the pump unit as some came out of the port when I was taking everything apart.One Last Try
I decided to give it one more go and lubed it up pretty well. I didn’t use as much as my 3rd experience, but more than enough. I also took the suggestion from another review I read and put the sleeve on first and then attached the hose. Again, the experience was the same, no up/down movement, just a light squeezes/pulses. I decided to try placing the sleeve on my desk and standing instead of laying on my bed to see if that would somehow reduce the friction or something. I also tried using it like a normal sleeve which proved to be difficult with the pump going since I couldn’t move it at the speed a wanted due to the air pressure/pump not being in sync with my movements. Unfortunately, I got the same results as before and I was unable to finish until I turned on the vibrator.Control Test
I considered that my penis may be the issue here, it might not be girthy enough to create a good seal so I decided to try the hummer on my Vixen Mustang dildo to try and get some better results. This was just after I finished my 4th time so the lube that was used was still in the sleeve but I added a few extra squeezes for good measure. I started the pump halfway in again but the results looked exactly the same, the sleeve would squeeze the dildo but not move up and down.Design
I would describe the design as "simple and clean". The matte cover on the pump and sleeve with chrome/white highlights make it look like a premium product without screaming "I'M A SEX TOY" to anyone who might happen to glance in it's direction. The buttons are functional and placement is reasonable.
Ease of Use
If you can't leave this out in the open, I would say it's a hassle to get set up every time you want to use it. While not overly heavy or cumbersome, it takes enough effort to lift and move the pump around to make me go "ugh". As previously mentioned, the programmed patterns (modes 2 through 9) only last 4 minutes. If you're in the zone or trying to ride the edge, I can imagine how annoying it would be for the toy to stop every 4 minutes. I also did not like how pressing the intensity adjustment buttons on the remote would change the pump back to mode 1. I could easily someone getting into the zone and then being taken out of the moment by accidentally pressing the wrong button. The sleeve is also very heavy so unless you have something to hold the sleeve in place, it is likely to fall off.
Quality
The Hummer definitely feels like a premium toy, largely due to the weight of the pump and sleeve. It doesn't feel cheap or like it will fall apart easily. The pump isn't super loud and with doors closed, you could probably mask the sound with a desk fan. The vibrator, however, is another story. While quite powerful, this is also it's downfall because the black casing is separate from the actual sleeve. The strong vibrations cause the black casing to "slap" against the sleeve which is very loud and there is no way you're masking that sound, even with your doors and windows closed.
Price
On a whole, it felt like I had paid $400 for a vibrating sleeve. While the sucking/squeezing felt nice, the novelty and pleasure wore off quickly and I could get more pleasure out the sleeve using it normally, not hooked up to the pump which pretty much defeats the purpose of this toy.
Performance
Did it live up to expectations and promises made online? Absolutely not. On the product page itself, the toy is described as "the ultimate BJ machine" which is a very far cry from my personal experience. I would expect significantly more up and down movement as shown on their ads. This toy is definitely loud and I did not feel comfortable using it while anyone else was home.
Packaging
The box it came in felt relatively premium, like the toy itself. The outer "shell" was made of a thin but though cardboard material and the foam inside was very dense. The parts all fit perfectly in their spots and it didn't feel like anything was loose or going to fall out. The box has a very large photo of the pump and sleeve on the front with some text that makes it pretty clear this is a sex toy.
Materials and care
The pump unit but it appeared to be encased within a thick plastic shell with a rubberized coating. The tubes attaching the pump to the sleeve appear to be made out of plastic and the sleeve itself is advertised to be TPE which is not body-safe. The sleeve was heavier and stiffer than any other TPE sleeve I've used before. You are directed to clean the sleeve and tubes thoroughly with water and soap after each use but it's difficult to be confident that I'm cleaning all of the parts well. Beacause the sleeve is so stiff, you can't flip it inside out to scrub like you can with other softer reusable sleeves. While you can fill it up with soapy water and rub your fingers around, it doesn't feel like you 're getting it as clean as possible. As mentioned on my 3rd experience, some lube made it way through the connecting tubes. it's difficult to clean out the tubes because they are so small. You can run water through it but with the slow flow of water, I have a hard time believing I actually got all of the lube out.
