Allow me to introduce myself and explain why my insights might be valuable to you. I'm Matt, a 45-year-old who has spent the past six years reviewing men's sex toys. With experience testing over 190 different products, I've developed a methodical approach to evaluating their pros and cons.

VacuGlide vs. Venus

The Venus 2000 is a legendary product that has been around since the 1990s and while it has been popular, its design and function has never changed. There's a new contender that's taking the physical experience to the next level by adding in the latest design and technology: VacuGlide.

In this comprehensive comparison, we'll dive deep into how VacuGlide compares to the Venus 2000, highlighting the innovations that make it a standout choice for those seeking modern features and unparalleled satisfaction.

Below are the reasons you should choose VacuGlide over Venus in 2025:

Updated Modern Design

On the older Venus model, you’ll experience a tangle of wires and tubes. It requires you to use a separately connected manually operated air inlet and outlet plus a separate cable and box to control the speed and power. But VacuGlide brings you into modern times with a sleek 1 piece design where every function is available at the touch of a button, with LED lights indicating your choices.

Premium Aluminium Construction

The older Venus model uses a thin plastic shell to house the motor and electronics, giving it a low-end feel. But VacuGlide’s motor and electronics are housed inside of a 1/8th inch thick extruded aluminum case that looks great and makes the machine a joy to use.

Enhanced Control

How you control your device is directly related to your satisfaction level. Do you want thinking about how locate and press analog physical buttons located in several different locations or do you want to focus on your pleasure? VacuGlide offers modern digital control and at the same time gives you 10 LED lights that light up in various ways to show you what changes you are making and what speed you’re in at all times.

LED Indicators

VacuGlide’s modern design pushes the limits of what’s possible with large visible LEDs that stay lit during usage to give you a visual indication of your speed at any time. Changing suction levels are indicated in flowing green lights and should you decide to use the exclusive pause button to momentarily pause your machine to prolong your pleasure, you’ll see calmly glowing white lights.

More Receivers = Better Fit

Three is better than one! Fit is everything and sometimes even if a stroker fits your penis, you may wish to enjoy a tighter or looser sensation with another stroker. Venus provides you only a single stroker while every VacuGlide comes with 3 sizes of stroker tube AND silicone inserts to make sure you experience the most pleasure possible.

Premium Silicone Sleeves

Venus uses exclusively latex for its sleeve material which deteriorates rather quickly. VacuGlide on the other hand uses silicone for its penis sleeves, a much more supple and longer lasting material which is more resistant to tearing and therefore has a much longer lifespan. Additionally, VacuGlide’s sleeves are ribbed for extra stimulation.

Free Storage Solution

When you buy a Venus, you just have to throw it all under a bed or in a closet where someone may find it. But VacuGlide comes inside of its own protective discrete custom made backpack that stores and protects your investment. Zippered and custom designed velcro areas store the machine, its 3 strokers, the electrical adapter and even the rubber air hose. Best of all, it looks like an ordinary backpack!

Why we picked the Vacuglide: The VacuGlide milking machine has the largest vacuum chamber of any product in its class and as a result it provides unparalleled suction stroking. It is adjustable with a small included tool so that it works well on all penis lengths. Its all aluminum construction and 14 pound weight gives it an unmatched high quality look and feel.

The feeling given by its suction stroking mechanism is simply incredible. A big bonus is that it works even on partial erections by causing the full erection with its vacuum and taking the user through the complete orgasm. Our testers who could not achieve a full erection reported complete satisfaction.

How it feels: The Vacuglide offers a suction-based sensation that can be adjusted as to the vacuum level and stroking length. The vacuum makes the penis extra sensitive and envelops the entire shaft, sucking the whole penis in and providing a sensation and orgasm that is unmatched by that given by any human.

What's under the hood: The Vacuglide features a large vacuum pumping chamber operated by a piston and includes 2 electronically operated valves. Buttons on the front of the machine allow the user to control exactly how much air goes into and is removed from the system thereby controlling the stroking length and suction level. The case is made from extruded aluminum giving it a very high end feel. It even comes with its own storage backpack for discreet storage as well as 3 separate stroking cups with silicone sleeves to accommodate all penis sizes.

For you if: You are interested in exploring vacuum-based stimulation and want a device that offers adjustable intensity and accommodation for all penis sizes. This is a buy it for life item.

Not for you if:You prefer vibration or cannot afford its price tag.

When spending this kind of money on a milking machine you shouldn’t settle for old tech. If you’re anything like me, you’ll love VacuGlide.
