The best blowjob machine in Australia depends on which mechanism you actually want. The Autoblow A.I.+ is the pick for programmed sleeve stroking with Wi-Fi control. The VacuGlide 2 is the pick if you want vacuum suction as well as stroking. The Zolo machines cover cheaper rechargeable takes on suction, thrusting and gyrating. Every spec below comes from the manufacturer's own product data.
The quick version
- Autoblow A.I.+ is the most complete stroking machine here: 10 built-in experiences, Wi-Fi, and an adjustable gripper you set with a screwdriver.
- VacuGlide 2 is the only machine on this list that does suction and stroking. It is mains powered, 6.35 kg, and not portable.
- Zolo Automatic Blowjob and Zolo Tornado are USB rechargeable and mount hands-free on a suction cup base.
- Zolo Thrustbuster is a thrusting stroker, not an oral simulator. If suction is the point, it is the wrong buy.
- Autoblow publishes no decibel figures, so nobody can honestly tell you which of its machines is quieter.
- Plain, unbranded packaging. Same-day dispatch on orders placed before 10am. Free shipping over $99.
Who this guide is for
You have used a manual stroker, you are curious about the automatic stuff, and you have hit a wall of sites that all recommend the same five machines without telling you how any of them work. This guide tells you the mechanism, the numbers the manufacturer actually publishes, and where each machine falls short.
What a blowjob machine actually is
A blowjob machine is a motorised male masturbator that produces the stroking or suction motion for you, rather than you producing it by hand. That is the whole distinction. It is a marketing term, not an engineering one, and it covers at least four different mechanisms that feel nothing alike.
The one thing worth understanding before you spend money: a sleeve that strokes up and down is a fundamentally different device from a chamber that pulls a vacuum. Both get sold as "blowjob machines". Only one of them creates negative pressure.
The five machines, and what each one really does
1. Autoblow A.I.+ - the most developed stroking machine
The A.I.+ is a motorised stroking masturbator. Autoblow states it was developed by analysing 1,000 hours of footage with machine learning to map real oral movements into programmable experiences, and that the device ships with 10 built-in programmes with Wi-Fi for downloading more.
What genuinely sets it apart: an adjustable penis gripper, which Autoblow calls a first for the range. You set your preferred tightness with a standard screwdriver. Most machines give you one fixed internal diameter and expect you to live with it. Autoblow also lists an expanded lower speed range compared with the previous model, a remote operator token so another person can drive it over the internet, and voice command control when it is on Wi-Fi.
What we will not tell you: Autoblow does not publish a power source, a stroke length, a strokes-per-minute figure or a decibel rating for the A.I.+. It describes the motor as quieter than its predecessor. That is a manufacturer claim, not a measurement, and we are not going to convert it into a number.
Who it is for: anyone who wants variety and control from a stroking machine and does not care about vacuum suction.
2. VacuGlide 2 by Autoblow - suction and stroking, and the only one that does both
The VacuGlide 2 does not just stroke. Autoblow's own description is explicit: it "pairs electronically controlled suction with a stroking mechanism" to create a pull-and-release sensation rather than in-and-out thrusting. Because the suction does the work, Autoblow states it functions whether you are erect or not.
Published specs: 20 speed levels covering approximately 10 to 225 strokes per minute, 10 built-in offline programmes, an extruded aluminium shell, 6.35 kg, approximately 35 cm long, soft silicone sleeves, and Wi-Fi for app control. It ships with three sleeve sizes, an allen wrench and a storage backpack.
Two things to be clear about. First, it is mains powered, not rechargeable. Autoblow's own copy sells this as a feature: no battery drop-off mid-session. Second, stroke range is adjusted mechanically with the allen wrench, not from the app. Set it before you start.
Where it loses: 6.35 kg of aluminium tethered to a wall socket is not a device you move around. If you want to use a machine in more than one place, this is the wrong one.
3. Zolo Automatic Blowjob - suction and vibration, hands-free
Zolo is the brand. The Zolo Automatic Blowjob is the product, and it is the closest thing here to the VacuGlide 2's concept at a fraction of the size. Zolo states it combines suction and vibration with two suction modes, a multi-ribbed internal sleeve, an optional erotic audio feature, and an adjustable suction cup base so it can be mounted to a flat surface and used completely hands-free. It is USB rechargeable.
Where it loses: two suction modes is not much granularity next to the VacuGlide 2's twenty speed levels. Zolo does not publish a strokes-per-minute range, a suction pressure or a battery life.
4. Zolo Thrustbuster - a thrusting stroker, not an oral simulator
The Thrustbuster keeps turning up on "best blowjob machine" lists and it does not belong on them. Zolo describes it as an automatic stroker built around motorised thrusting designed to replicate penetrative sex, with four thrusting modes, built-in erotic audio, a contoured one-handed grip and USB recharging. There is no suction function.
Who it is actually for: someone who wants the sensation of penetration, hand-held, and does not care about oral simulation. If suction is what you came for, buy something else.
5. Zolo Tornado - squeezing and gyrating
The Tornado is the odd one out, and deliberately so. Zolo calls the mechanism "tornado technology": a full-shaft multi-ribbed sleeve that squeezes and gyrates across 10 modes. It is not a stroker and it is not a vacuum. It also has a transparent viewing window, built-in erotic audio, an adjustable suction cup base for hands-free use, and USB recharging.
Where it loses: gyration is a niche sensation. If you have never tried it, this is a gamble, not a safe first machine.
Side-by-side comparison
"Not published" means the manufacturer does not state the figure. We are not going to guess it for you.
Suction vs stroking vs gyrating vs thrusting
Stroking moves a sleeve up and down the shaft. It is the most common mechanism and the safest first purchase, because it is closest to what your hand already does. The Autoblow A.I.+ is the example here.
Suction uses negative pressure. The VacuGlide 2 drives a valve that pulls the sleeve onto you and releases, which is why Autoblow says it works on a flaccid penis. It is a different physical sensation, not a stronger version of stroking, and some people do not like it.
Gyrating and squeezing (Zolo Tornado) applies pressure around the shaft and moves it in a circle rather than along the length. Distinctive, and divisive.
Thrusting (Zolo Thrustbuster) simulates penetration. It is a good sensation. It is not oral simulation, and calling it one is how these lists mislead people.
If you are unsure, start with stroking. Browse the full masturbators collection or read our guide to automatic strokers for the wider category.
Is it worth upgrading from a manual stroker
Yes, if you will use it more than a handful of times. The change is not that an automatic machine feels better than your hand. It is that it removes your hand from the equation, which changes the experience in a way a sleeve cannot.
No, if you want a novelty. These machines cost real money, they are bulky, and they need cleaning after every session. A person who uses one twice and shelves it would have been better off with a manual sleeve. That is not a sales pitch we enjoy making, but it is true.
Safety, cleaning and lube
- Water-based lube only. Autoblow specifies water-based or hybrid lubricant for the VacuGlide 2. Silicone lube degrades silicone sleeves, and these machines use silicone and TPE sleeves. Our lubricants range is water-based.
- Never boil, bleach, microwave or dishwash any part of a machine that contains a motor, a battery or a charging port - wash removable sleeves in warm water with mild soap or a dedicated toy cleaner, and wipe the motor housing with a damp cloth only.
- Do not submerge a machine that is not rated waterproof. None of these five publish a waterproof rating, so treat all of them as not waterproof.
- TPE and TPR sleeves are porous. They cannot be sterilised, no matter what you clean them with. Use a condom over the sleeve if you want to reduce bacterial load, do not share a porous sleeve with anyone, even with a condom, and replace it every 6 to 12 months. Silicone sleeves are non-porous and last longer.
- Dry the sleeve fully before storing. A damp sleeve in a closed case grows mould.
- Suction has a limit. A vacuum device can bruise you. Stop immediately on pain, numbness, pinprick red spots or any colour change to the skin. The VacuGlide 2 has a pause button. Use it.
- Use enough lube, and re-apply. Friction burn inside a machine sleeve is the single most common injury in this category and it is entirely preventable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best blowjob machine in Australia?
The Autoblow A.I.+ is the strongest all-round stroking machine: 10 built-in experiences, Wi-Fi for more, and an adjustable gripper you set with a screwdriver so it fits your anatomy. If you specifically want vacuum suction rather than a sleeve stroking you, the VacuGlide 2 is the better machine, because it is the only one here that pairs electronically controlled suction with a stroking mechanism.
Is the VacuGlide 2 rechargeable?
No. The VacuGlide 2 is mains powered. Autoblow presents this as a design decision rather than a limitation: a mains connection means consistent torque and suction with no battery drop-off part way through a session. It weighs 6.35 kg and is around 35 cm long, so it was never intended to be a portable device.
What is the difference between the Autoblow A.I.+ and the VacuGlide 2?
The A.I.+ is a stroking machine: a sleeve moves up and down, driven by 10 built-in programmes with more available over Wi-Fi. The VacuGlide 2 adds electronically controlled suction to a stroking mechanism, and publishes 20 speed levels across roughly 10 to 225 strokes per minute. Autoblow does not publish decibel figures for either machine, so no one can honestly tell you which is quieter.
Do blowjob machines actually feel like oral sex?
No. They feel like a machine, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. What they do well is produce a consistent, hands-free rhythm that a hand cannot sustain, and vary it in ways you would not. Buy one for what it is rather than for a comparison it will always lose.
Can I buy a blowjob machine discreetly in Australia?
Yes. Pleasing Strings ships every order in plain, unbranded packaging with no indication of the contents on the outside, and the billing descriptor is neutral. Orders placed before 10am are dispatched the same day from our Brisbane and Melbourne warehouses, and shipping is free on orders over $99.
Does Pleasing Strings offer Afterpay?
Afterpay and other buy-now-pay-later options are available at checkout. Approval and spending limits are set by the provider, not by us, so whether a particular machine can be split into instalments depends on your account and the order total. You will see the available options on the checkout page before you pay.
