Hismith Premium 4.0
Braise ratingHighly Recommended
The newest version of the machine we own, with more control on top: an app, programmable patterns and a speed display, on the same KlicLok attachment system. Worth the step up if you want the app. If you don't, the Premium Pro still does the job.

How it rates
How we vetted it
Our take draws on Hismith's published specifications and on how the 4.0 compares with the Hismith Premium Pro, which we own and have used for more than four years. We haven't used the 4.0 itself, so we've stuck to what Hismith publishes and to the differences that matter if you're choosing between the two.
What works well
It keeps everything that makes the Premium line good and adds control. The 100W motor runs up to 267 strokes a minute, and the stroke adjusts from about 1.3 to 5 inches. You can run it from the wired controller, which has a 2.5-inch display showing the speed, or from the Hismith app, which adds built-in modes, programmable patterns and patterns other people have shared. It uses KlicLok, so attachments click on without tools, and it works with the KlicLok attachments you may already have. The stand is modular, so parts can be swapped or upgraded without replacing the whole machine, and it comes with a silicone dildo, a canvas bag and a dust cover.
Why we chose it
- App control with programmable patterns
- Speed display on the controller
- Adjustable stroke
- KlicLok quick-swap attachments
- Modular, upgradable stand
In your room
Treat it as furniture. It's heavy, runs on mains power and wants a flat floor, so pick a spot with an outlet nearby and leave room to sit or lie in front of it. A wedge or ramp gets the height right. Between uses, the canvas bag and dust cover help, and a locked closet works for storage if you share the house.

Skip it if
You don't care about the app, since the Premium Pro covers the same ground for less, or you have nowhere to keep a 25-pound machine.
Who it's for
Couples or solo players who want serious, adjustable power and like the idea of app control, saved patterns or a partner running it from the phone.
Where it fits in the room
Picture it in a Modern Noir room.
The right piece lands better in a room that was planned for the two of you. Start from the Modern Noir look in the Room Designer, set the light and the layout, and see the space come together around it.
