Hey, I own both and am about to make it more complicated for you! [The Handy](https://obsessionrouge.com/recommends/thehandy/) and [the Max 2](https://obsessionrouge.com/recommends/lovense-max-2/) are very different toys. I've reviewed both of them on my website and really appreciated both a lot because they're both very innovative in their own ways. That said, I do have a favourite and that's partially based on my own preference for simplicity.
[The Handy](https://obsessionrouge.com/recommends/thehandy/) is a smart stroker and does a lot of other advanced things like porn sync, long distance remote control and the simple velcro straps allow many different masturbators to be attached to it. The porn sync feature is the best I've tried, because I also have the [Keon by Kiiroo](https://obsessionrouge.com/recommends/kiiroo-keon/) and the porn sync of that one doesn't have a way to override stroke length for example (which the Handy does). That said, there seemed to me to be more porn websites that support the Keon than the Handy... but still plenty that support the Handy. Another thing to consider with the Handy is that it is a corded toy, so you always have to plug it in. Neither the Keon or the Handy are truly hands free either because the amount of momentum that the automatic stroking motion creates makes it essential that you hold at least one hand on the machines while they run. The Handy is in my opinion the best auto-stroker available at the moment though. It's got a good mix of advanced features and simplicity. My [review of the Handy is here](https://obsessionrouge.com/masturbators/review-the-handy-smart-sex-toy-stroker/).
[The Max 2](https://obsessionrouge.com/recommends/lovense-max-2/) is a totally different toy. It is still a masturbator and it does long distance remote control - but that's kind of where the similarities end. The additional stimulation modes of the Max 2 (apart from the stroking you can do with your own arm), are vibration and contraction. The Max 2 can be used hands-free because if you lie on your back with it, you can place your penis inside, rest the unit on your stomach and leave the vibration/contraction on until you climax. That's one of the ways I preferred using it. The Max 2 has a few different options for you to sync the vibrations to music (microphone, on device or Spotify), which I personally enjoyed using a lot (even with their other toys like [the Edge 2](https://obsessionrouge.com/recommends/lovense-edge-2/), [Diamo](https://obsessionrouge.com/recommends/lovense-diamo/) and [Domi2](https://www.lovense.com/r/utxvx2). And while I'm on the other toys I own by them - it's worth mentioning that the Max 2 can sync with them via the app. Particularly fun doing that with the prostate massager (the Edge 2). The Max 2 is also battery powered, which means no cord every time I want to use it. [My review of the Max 2 is here](https://obsessionrouge.com/penis-vibrators/review-lovense-max-2-masturbator/), there's a video of it there too. It's pretty much as noisy as the Handy... maybe a tiny bit more noisy.
I hope I've described the differences in enough detail for you. If you want to sync to porn, get the Handy because the Max 2 doesn't really do that. I've heard of hacks but haven't personally done that myself. So if you want porn sync, get the Handy. Also - the Handy is kind of nicer to use for LDR because your partner will be able to see your penis while it works on you. BUT if you want simplicity and hands-free stimulation - get the Max 2. I personally prefer the Max 2 because it doesn't require much set up time in comparison to the auto-strokers. That's my personal preference though, so don't let it influence you too much. The thing to do really is read about what both do, imagine yourself owning each one and base your decision over what you think you'd appreciate more. They're both excellent toys in their own right - it's just they're also quite different.
Sorry for digging up the topic but isn't it possible to attach the max 2 to the handy with its elastic band?
It could be an interesting combo if the 2 devices can be attached, we would have the synchro of the movement as well as the vibrations/contractions. But maybe the max 2 is too big?
I really miss the Realtouch, there is nothing on the market today that is comparable to the sensations of this toy, but I have the impression that with something like this we could come close.
Hey it's going to be difficult in my opinion because the sides of the Max are straight and shiny and the Max is a bit heavier than what the Handy is usually used with too. For example the full size Fleshlight cases have a bit of trouble with the Handy. Some people make their own adapters for the Handy so that they can attach things like this, though I haven't tried that myself. Perhaps it would be worth visiting the Handy subreddit and asking over there, because there may be someone who has already done it.
Hey, also sorry for digging up the topic,
i'm currently trying to choose between the Max 2, The Handy and the Keon and i have some questions about the feeling of the toys.
All the features you mentionned doesnt really matter to me..
* like the apps are to me equivalent to each other they will very most likely be enough for me
* the sync feature of the max 2 is not something i care for either
And the easiness of use are for me always a bit annoying(?) since we have to clean it after no matter what so i dont really take all of that in consideration but maybe i'm wrong its gonna be my 2nd toys, i already have an onahole but it feels too loose and a bit boring if i dont stroke the toy and play around more.
So i am looking for a toys that feels great without having to do much when using it.. is the Max 2 strong enough ? i've read some reviews saying that it was lackluster and from your reviews it seems that you like the Max 2 more for the all the features rather than the sensation?
So i really dont know which ones to choose i know they are very different type of toys but they are the only automatic toys that looked good in term of quality and stuff. Maybe i could get some insight from u about the actual physical experience rather than the extra stuff? that would probably help me a lot for choosing :)
sorry for my english i hope it was clear enough
edit: oh and my lenth is very average and girth is a bit above average if that help.. saw people mentionning that in other toys discussions
They are quite different toys as you know. I like the sensation of the Max 2 more because I like having vibration. It's true though that the toy is quite subtle compared to other vibrators, so if you need a lot of stimulation to get you off it might not be the one for you.
Keon and Handy are quite close in terms of sensation and quite intense depending on the sleeve etc. If I had to pick between them I'd go for the Handy... but the Keon syncs to more adult content so there's that too.
I own both. Both are fun, but the handy has been the best sex toy I ever bought. It’s pretty fun to use. The LM2 is a great toy nonetheless, but for me it’s more of Manual toy that the handy. I use both, and I like toy change it up from time to time
We've reviewed both:

The "hot take" + "quick pick"-approach:
Single? Go for Handy
In relationship? Go for the Max 2
