Venus 2000 Review: Is This Machine Worth The Price? (2024)

In this review, we take a look at the Venus 2000 alternatives to buy that are 100 times better and way cheaper than the Venus milking machine.

If you’ve done any research in your search for a penis-milking machine, you’ve probably heard of the Venus 2000.

That’s because it’s one of the best milking machines on the market. Honestly, it’s one of the best sex machines for men – point blank, period.

But there’s one massive downside to the Venus 2000: the price.

Compared to other blowjob machines, it’s costly. That’s partly thanks to its immense reputation. It’s known to be the best – and people are ready to pay extra for a premium product.

Is it worth the money? In this review, I’ll walk you through all the features of the Venus 2000, so you can decide for yourself.

But before diving into all that, let’s start with alternative recommendations.

As I mentioned, the Venus 2000 isn’t entirely light on the wallet. So these toys might be the cheaper and better options for you to consider first.

Top Alternatives Of The Venus 2000

If you want a high-quality blowjob machine that delivers plenty of pleasure at just ¼ of the price, take a look at the pretty fantastic Kiiroo Keon.

It’s portable, rechargeable and “only” $249.

If the Venus 2000 for Men is the Rolls-Royce of milking machines, Keon is like a mid-range Mercedes: reliable, well-made and still gets you where you want to go (AKA Orgasm City).

It’s less powerful, more affordable, and earns a solid recommendation for me if you’re looking for the next-best alternative sex toy.

If a penis machine is what your heart truly desires but you want to check out other options besides the Venus 2000 for Men, we have a handy list of the best automatic milking machines out there.

Looking to upgrade from your hand, but not sure you want to splash out that kind of cash?

Maybe a blowjob simulator is what you need to test the waters first. They’re cheaper than milking machines, but as with most things in life, you get what you pay for and there is a significant dip in quality.

Some of these blowjob machines are electronic with all the gimmicks you can imagine, while others are purely manual and offer a variety of textures and tricks to keep things interesting.

Finally, it’s worth mentioning that you can buy custom receivers from Venus themselves for $55. I’ve used the receiver on its own as a manual masturbator and the custom fit makes it a solid choice. If something like a Fleshlight isn’t for you, the manual receiver is a decent alternative.

As for a different Kiiroo product, you could also look into the Onyx+ model.

Compared to other similar sex machines, this toy has had vast improvements to cater to the sensory experience of its users. 

The toy’s ergonomic and portable design makes it a great travel companion for people. In addition, the overall size is compact, making it a much more solid option than the bulkiness of the Venus 2000. 

And suppose you’re extra hung down there. The toy offers a comfortable internal girth and length to satisfy your preferred tightness levels. 

The Onyx+ also provides several interactive modes to enhance connectivity with your VR. 

It can link up with any source that facilitates this feature and links it to your VR goggles. 

Once you can access your favorite porn site with VR, the toy will simulate the exact movements in the video, giving you that full-on real-time action you’ve always wanted. 

And, of course, there’s also the vast price difference between the Onyx+ model and the Venus 2000. While both are expensive, the former offers a much lower price with similar results.

The Venus 2000 package is your golden standard for “high-end sex toys” at about $1,000, while Kiiroo’s product retails at around $220. 

Now, Venus isn’t all too bad, though. If you want a quieter experience out of all this, I suggest going for the Venus 2000. Otherwise, you might opt for the more budget-friendly option if you don’t mind the loudness.

With those alternatives out of the way, let’s check back into our review, shall we?

Let’s start with a quick rundown on the Venus 2000. An overview of my feedback, if you will. 

Here’s the TL;DR:

What’s In The Box Of The Venus 2000

Opening the sturdy and discreet cardboard box for the first time I remembered being a little intimidated by the sheer amount of stuff that came with it. With all of the hoses, cables, and attachments that came with the Venus I felt like some kind of engineer working on a machine I’d never seen before. 

That feeling quickly went away once I read through the handy instruction manual, which explains everything simply and effectively so anyone can set up their Venus in a minute or two.

All of the attachments can only plug into one outlet each and it’s really very intuitive, so there’s no reason to worry if like me you can’t even change a lightbulb without watching two hours of video tutorials first. 

The Venus itself is a pretty imposing black box with a textured finish, two ports for the controls and connections for the large and small hoses. 

There’s also attachable controls for the air pressure and speed, the hoses, the custom receiver and all the attachments, along with a useful storage bag, cleaning brush and lube.

I’m pretty sure the Rosetta Stone, British Crown Jewels, and the entire Library of Alexandria were in there too, but I gave up digging. 

In the US and Canada the Venus ships with a power cord, however, if you’re ordering one from outside of those countries you have to buy your own power cord separately. It takes a standard “kettle cord” plug which is easy and cheap to find from any electronics shop. 

The whole package contains: 

• Your Custom Receiver made according to your specified measurements (we’ll get to the measuring process a bit later) 
• 30 inches (about 75cm) of a replacement liner
• A cleaning brush
• Air Control Box, which connects to the small air port. 
• A small bottle of Abco’s ID glide lube. 
• A nice storage bag, good for keeping dust off
• A remote control on a detachable 4’ (120cm) cable. 
• 4’ Hose Set (large and small hose)
• 1/8” Allen Wrench
• Power Cord (USA & Canada only)
• 2 Year Limited Warranty and Instruction Manuals

Tech Specs

The Venus 2000 measures 240x155x208mm and weighs 11lbs, or about 5kg. It’s a pretty hefty black box made of textured polymer. The attachments are made of a tough clear polymer and the lining is a natural dry rubber that shouldn’t trigger any latex allergies.

Putting it all together: the Venus uses an electric motor to alternate air pressure with variable stroke lengths and speed from 8 to 300 strokes per minute.

Design And Features

Before experiencing it for myself, I was skeptical about the importance of the custom fit. On their website, Abco (the manufacturers) make A BIG DEAL about the custom fit of the receiver and how it’s essential to achieving quality orgasms. I wasn’t so sure, having used other masturbators that didn’t have this feature and getting along with them fine. 

Well, I can tell you now… 

Abco is right.

The custom receiver makes A HUGE DIFFERENCE!

Entering it feels like it was made for me because it was. The soft rubber material feels wonderful and inviting, with none of the plasticky feel you often get with cheaper toys. 

The custom receiver comes with the basic Venus package, while the other attachments are optional extras. Having tried them all, I would recommend getting everything, but my favorite has to be the assembly tool.

Using the Venus machine, you can make your own receivers with their own variations to keep things fresh and exciting. The instruction manual even has some suggestions for ways to alter the basic receiver design, which I think shows great attention to detail from the manufacturers.

The Venus box has a handle for easier portability, which looks nice but I don’t find it very useful.

After all, it’s 5kg of hardware along with a bunch of cords and accessories, so it’s not what I would call convenient to carry around.

How To Set Up The Venus 2000 Milking Machine

Setting up the Venus 2000 machine can be done in a few simple steps.

First, attach the small rubber hose to a port from the central unit. And then, attach the air control box to the other end of the small hose.

After that, connect the large rubber hose to another port on the Venus unit and have the corresponding attachment go on the other end.

And then, once all the hose attachments are taken care of, you can insert the remote control into the Venus product unit. Then, follow it by attaching the power cord to the same unit, where you can plug it into a wall outlet.

Once done, all you have to do is get your lube ready. Turn the red switch on. And have yourself brace for a newfound orgasmic experience. 

And voila, you’ll be shaking in pleasure before you know it. 

Just remember, using the Venus machine is pretty straightforward on its own. When powered, the red switch on the remote control unit lights up.

And when changing strokes and intensities, increasing the levels requires the dial to go clockwise. You go counter-clockwise to slow down.

Price And Where To Buy 

The Venus 2000 retails for $956 from their official website or get an alternate machine $850.50 from TheEnhancedMale.com.

However, suppose you want a similar experience at a much lower price. In that case, the market has better and more portable options. 

Try checking out the Kiiroo Keon & FeelStars Combo Pack, which ranges from $279-$329. Or you could opt for a complete couples’ set with Kiiroo Onyx+ for just $209. 

It all depends on which one you prefer.

In Use: What Does The Venus 2000 Device Feel Like?

I hesitate to even call the Venus a sex toy. It’s more like a whole sex experience in a box.

I used to think that whatever technology was out there, nothing could compare to the feeling of real skin on mine, the sensation of actually having sex with a real person. 

Now? 

I’m not so sure. 

I mean, the Venus product doesn’t compare to the intimacy and human side of things, but…

That feeling? 

Just wow.

The main receiver, that is the normal masturbator, is easily my favorite attachment!

Of the three main attachments, about 80% of my time with the Venus machine is spent with this one.

This thing is the Rolls-Royce of milking machines. It will milk you dry without mercy, every time you want it. 

The receiver sucks you in and doesn’t let go without being pulled out, so you can use the Venus without an erection and even have a full orgasm without ever getting hard.

I find this to be fun as a novelty, but I definitely prefer the sensation when hard over soft. 

It’s easy to slip it on and leave it there while edging for hours, or experiencing leg-shaking orgasms multiple times in a row if you’re up for that.

Take care not to let it get dry, though, or it can become a bit unpleasant! Subs and masochists would probably love that, but that isn’t really my thing so I couldn’t say whether it’s great for that particular job. 

The stroke speed goes from a luxuriously soft and slow 8 rpm, which is like getting a lazy Sunday afternoon blowjob, all the way up to 300rpm, which honestly for me is overkill. I’m too sensitive for that kind of speed to be very pleasurable, but if you want power in your machine rest assured this box has plenty to spare.

---

If you have trouble getting hard or staying that way, then I could see this attachment being a reason to buy the Venus machine all by itself. It gives some powerful suction which does make my member noticeably bigger for long enough to have some fun with it.

When playing with a partner, the pump shines as a way for your girl to embrace her inner size queen and see if she can take your new improved size. 

The feeling of the pump is that of a vacuum around your dick, which is quite nice but is nowhere near as good as the wild pleasure of the Receiver. If you want a bigger dick for a little while, then it works great, and I know some people are really into the pure vacuum sucking feeling.

Also if you have issues getting or maintaining an erection, then this attachment might see a lot of use as it will definitely get the job done. All in all the pump does exactly what it’s supposed to do and does it well, but it’s not the best thing about the Venus machine for me.

---

No prizes for guessing what the head massager does…

This neat little addition is just for the head of the penis, holding and massaging it in a simulated suck-job. It’s great for finishing myself off after using the receiver, or as a hot way to get my engine revving.

It makes a fun foreplay device and I bet any Domme/sub couples would get a lot of enjoyment using this attachment for edging. 

---

These come in a pair, unsurprisingly, and work similarly to the other attachments by sucking in and out in a squeeze-release motion. They’re pretty fun to use on a partner to get them worked up, but out of all the attachments I use this one the least.

It’s not that they’re bad nipple massagers at all, it’s just not my favourite thing.

If nipple play is your thing…

Then definitely get this attachment along with the others, BUT if you’re not into it then you can skip this one and save yourself a few bucks. 

---

Is It Loud? 

The Venus machine is quieter than I would have thought at first glance, but it’s not stealthy. If you’re trying to sneak in a quick pleasure session, better make sure no one else is around (unless they’re into that sort of thing…)

---

What About Cleaning The Venus 2000 Machine?

Masturbators of any kind can be notoriously difficult to maintain and clean, so it was a pleasant surprise to find that the Venus gave me no trouble. It’s super easy to clean, much simpler than other masturbators.

Since the receiver is detachable you can just remove it, rinse with water and clean with a brush cleaner like the one provided. 

One thing to remember!

Make sure you leave it to air dry completely after washing it before using it again. The Venus isn’t waterproof and if the receiver isn’t thoroughly dry there is a chance that the system will suck the excess water into the motor and ruin it. Not the kind of sucking you want! 

---

How Long Will This Last? 

Even the more expensive male toys on the market can be tragically short-lived. All those fancy electronic gizmos look genius and often do deliver a great experience, but then they tragically stop working after just a few rounds. 

Not so with the Venus. In over a year of regular use, nothing went wrong, and only the rubber liner needs to be replaced once it wears out. 

---

What Do Other People Think? 

Since Venus is a high-priced specialty item, not that many people are lucky enough to have one… 

…But almost everyone who does says it’s worth every penny. 

---

So by the look of things most proud owners of the Venus 2000 product love it.

Final Thoughts

Long story short: this is the BEST male masturbator money can buy. I would recommend it for the fantastic sensations, seismic orgasms and high level of controllability and variability it offers.

The only downsides are that it’s not easy to carry around (not much good for taking on long trips), and the price which makes the Venus a serious investment rather than a “buy it, use it once a year and forget about it” kind of toy. 

I reiterate that the Venus 2000 sex toy model is not a cheap venture. It is grossing in the expensive toys category.

Though it gives you incredible value for the money if you are willing to spend it.
