The most complete penis pump I've reviewed, and Autoblow calls it the first that also strokes. Buy it for the control and the routines; Stroke mode and the synced videos are the bonus.
Discreet shipping and billing · Plain brown box
Autoblow calls it a "Pumping & Pleasure Machine", and that's accurate. It's primarily a highly customizable electric penis pump: you pick a vacuum level on a large color screen and it holds that level for you. Around that core sit Pulse and Workout modes, synced pumping videos, routines you can build and share, and a Stroke mode that Autoblow says makes it the first penis pump that also strokes.
It comes from Autoblow, the company behind the Autoblow Ultra and VacuGlide, and it borrows VacuGlide's air-flow technology for the stroking. Price: $399 with code PRESALE100 (launch price $499, retail $699). Pre-order now, ships November 18.
The body is anodized extruded aluminum, with a large 480 × 320 color screen and an automotive-grade dial: spin to choose, push to click. The second control is the emergency release button, marked with a hand. One press releases all vacuum immediately, and twisting the hose's quick-connect does the same.
Inside are a 20 L/min pump, a patent-pending 3-valve air-flow system and a Wi-Fi microcontroller that reads the pressure sensor dozens of times a second, so the vacuum ramps up gently and stays steady. It runs from an AC/DC adapter and must stay plugged in while you use it: a bedroom machine, not a travel pump.
Alec Hardy's walkthrough fills in the practical details. The power switch is on the side, a fold-out foot tilts the screen toward you, rubber feet stop it from sliding, and he puts the power cord at around 3 meters, so reaching an outlet is rarely a problem.
Everything here runs from the dial and screen. No phone, no Wi-Fi, no account.
Turn the dial and the vacuum climbs gently to your level, then holds there. If air leaks in, VacuPump tops it up by itself, so you'll hear the motor now and then. The gauge is color-coded: green is easy, yellow marks the recommended safe maximum, red goes beyond it. Press the dial to finish and you get session time, max and average vacuum. This is the set-and-forget control a hand pump can't give you.
Pick a high and a low vacuum level and how long to stay at each, from 3 to 60 seconds. Autoblow's example is 5 seconds high, 3 seconds rest. It goes to the high level first, releases to the low one and repeats until you stop. Pausing keeps the current vacuum, and so does leaving the mode; the emergency button releases it all. Doing this by hand means constant pumping and valve work.
10 preloaded routines with short descriptions, from the 5-minute Good Morning to 30-minute sessions like Intermediate and Advanced. Before you start, each shows its description, top vacuum level and pattern. Every step has a countdown, and you can stop at any time. The two VacuStroking routines are for the stroking receiver.
Quickie · Daily · Intermediate · Advanced · Pulsing Only · Good Morning · Pulse Waves · PreGame Pump · VacuStroking #1 · VacuStroking #2
Connect the hose to the included VacuGlide receiver with the short adapter tube. High vacuum pulls the receiver down and low vacuum pushes it back up. You set the range and the speed (10% to 100%). Expect some trial and error: it should stop short of the base and never pop off the top. Slow and sensual by design.
Stroke mode is the headline feature, so let's be precise. VacuPump strokes by moving air through its valves, not with a piston like VacuGlide 2. Autoblow's own FAQ says it feels similar to VacuGlide 2 at roughly its speeds 1 to 4, is noticeably louder, and delivers that slower stroke at about twice VacuGlide 2's vacuum level. Think slow and strong, not fast.
Alec Hardy puts it the same way in his walkthrough: "This is a pump, not a piston. It will never be able to go as fast as the VacuGlide can, but it can give you a much stronger vacuum."
Setting it up takes some experimenting, and Alec calls it the mode that needs the most. His tips: be erect before you start, keep the range small, and keep the vacuum low, because more vacuum pulls the sleeve away from you instead of squeezing harder. Give yourself 20 to 30 minutes to find your setup. You can set the range and speed on the device or by dragging handles in the web app.
Want it inside your own stroker? VacuPump works with all VacuGlide accessories, including Autoblow's Universal Vacuum Cap (sold separately). Swap it onto a Fleshlight-style stroker and Stroke mode drives the suction inside your favorite sleeve.
If stroking is what you're really after, VacuGlide 2 is the dedicated stroker: faster and quieter. VacuPump is the pump that can also stroke.
You connect once from the device itself, entering the Wi-Fi password with the dial. After that it reconnects automatically and shows a QR code. Scan it and fun.autoblow.com opens in your browser, on a phone, tablet or computer. There's nothing to install and a smartphone isn't required; you just need a free Autoblow account.
One quirk: a saved workout can't be edited, but you can duplicate it and change the copy.
Autoblow commissioned custom-filmed videos of couples using a pump, with dedicated VacuPump sync scripts. During the device-play chapters your pump follows the vacuum level shown on screen, and every video is chapterized so you can skip straight to those parts. Autoblow calls it the first synced penis-pumping content, and I haven't seen anything like it from another pump maker. Alec Hardy agrees: "Autoblow is basically the first ever to release synced pumping content like this." In his walkthrough the pump follows the screen with very little lag.
There are also meditative pumping sessions and AI girlfriend and boyfriend guided sessions, such as one with Juna. The AI sessions are mostly audio, and each title tells you how strong the vacuum gets. Picture-in-picture keeps the sync running while you browse something else, and a local player runs your own videos with a VacuPump sync script.
One tip from Alec: if you skip ahead to an intense part, the pump gets there fast and can draw the scrotum into the cylinder. If you're sensitive, start erect, and remember the emergency button.
To be clear: the 1,000+ Autoblow Ultra and VacuGlide videos (including VR) are there to watch while you pump, but they do not sync with VacuPump. While one plays, you get on-screen controls to hold, pulse or stroke the pump yourself.
The included pumping cylinder is 2.125" in diameter. VacuPump also works with any cylinder that uses the standard quick-release hose connection, from Autoblow or elsewhere. Autoblow sells pumping cylinders from 1.75" to 3".

Why I picked VacuPump: VacuPump is Autoblow’s new pumping and pleasure machine. At heart it’s a highly customizable electric penis pump: you set a vacuum level on the large color screen and it holds that level for you, topping up automatically if air leaks in. Around that core sit pulse and workout modes, video-synced pumping sessions and a Stroke mode borrowed from VacuGlide.
Sex toy expert Alec Hardy took VacuPump through a full hands-on walkthrough and calls it "a pretty phenomenal automatic vacuum penis pump." "It has tons of features," he says. "You can control it online, you can sync it up with content and have your pump do the exact same thing as you see on the video."
How it handles: Setup is just the power cord, the hose and the cylinder, and a fold-out foot tilts the screen toward you. In Alec’s walkthrough the pump answers the dial almost instantly ("it reacts super fast"), and the web app’s controls feel just as quick. The on-screen gauge is color-coded: green is easy, yellow marks the recommended safe maximum and red goes beyond it. His advice is to stay at 6 to 7 inHg or below when you start. The emergency release button works in every mode and lets all the vacuum out at once. One habit to learn: pausing or leaving a program keeps the vacuum where it is, so press the emergency button when you want it fully released.
The four modes: Manual holds the vacuum you choose and shows your session time plus max and average vacuum at the end. Pulse alternates between a high and a low vacuum level, with a time you set for each (Alec runs 20 seconds at 7 and 10 seconds at 5). Workouts runs 10 preloaded pumping routines, each made of timed exercises with a countdown, and shows its description, top vacuum level and pattern before you start. Stroke turns VacuPump into a slow, sensual vacuum stroker. All four run offline from the dial, with no phone or Wi-Fi needed. Alec’s own favorites are Manual and Pulse.
How the stroking works: Connect the included VacuGlide receiver to the hose and VacuPump alternates high vacuum, which pulls the receiver down, with low vacuum, which lets it slide back up. You set the stroke range and speed. Alec is upfront about the trade-off: "This is a pump, not a piston. It will never be able to go as fast as the VacuGlide can, but it can give you a much stronger vacuum." His tips: be erect before you start, keep the range small and the vacuum low (too much vacuum pulls the sleeve away from you instead of squeezing), and give it 20 to 30 minutes to find your setup, because this is the mode that needs the most experimenting. Autoblow adds that it’s noticeably louder than VacuGlide 2 and roughly matches its speeds 1 to 4. With Autoblow’s Universal Vacuum Cap, the same action works inside a Fleshlight-style stroker.
The Wi-Fi features: Connect it to Wi-Fi once from the device, scan the QR code on its screen, and the fun.autoblow.com web app opens on your phone, tablet or computer. There’s no app to install; you sign in with a free Autoblow account. Online you get remote control of every mode, a vacuum graph after each Manual session that you can screenshot or share, drag-and-drop ordering of the workouts on the device, and a builder for your own workouts (holds, pulses, strokes and rests) that saves straight to the device and can be shared with the community. Firmware updates are free and install from the web app.
Synced pumping videos: This is VacuPump’s most unusual feature, and Alec calls it "the exciting one" for this device: "Autoblow is basically the first ever to release synced pumping content like this." There are real-person pumping videos filmed with dedicated VacuPump scripts, AI-guided sessions that are mostly audio and show their top vacuum level in the title, and meditative sessions, and in his walkthrough the pump follows the screen with very little lag. Picture-in-picture keeps the sync going while you browse, and a local player runs your own videos with a VacuPump sync script. The large library made for the Autoblow Ultra and VacuGlide doesn’t sync with VacuPump, but while you watch it you get on-screen controls to hold, pulse or stroke the pump yourself.
What's under the hood: An anodized extruded aluminum body houses a 20 L/min pump, a patent-pending 3-valve air-flow system and a Wi-Fi-enabled microcontroller. The controls are one automotive-grade dial (spin to select, push to click) and an emergency release button, marked with a hand symbol, that releases all vacuum immediately. Rubber feet keep it from sliding. It runs on an AC/DC adapter and must stay plugged in while you use it, though Alec puts the cord at around 3 meters.
In the box: The VacuPump machine and AC/DC adapter, a 2.125" pumping receiver (9" long, marked in inches and centimeters), a large VacuGlide receiver with a silicone insert made for VacuPump, tubing for pumping and stroking, spare valves and connectors, and a discreet padded storage case. It also works with other pumping cylinders that use the standard quick-release hose connection, and with all VacuGlide accessories.
Cleaning: The machine isn’t waterproof, so wipe it with a damp cloth and keep it away from running water. Wash the cylinder, its rubber ring and the stroking receiver’s parts with mild soap or a toy cleaner, then let everything dry completely before the next use.
Price: $399 with code PRESALE100 (launch price $499, retail $699). Pre-order now, ships November 18. It ships in a discreet plain brown box with discreet billing.
A note on safety: VacuPump is not a medical device and is not intended to treat any health condition. Pumping can temporarily make the penis appear larger, but there is no reliable evidence that penis pumps produce permanent enlargement, and excessive or prolonged use can cause injury. Alec’s rules of thumb: stay at 6 to 7 inHg or below, keep sessions under 20 minutes, and use plenty of lube so skin doesn’t drag against the cylinder. With synced videos, if you skip ahead to an intense part the pump gets there fast and can draw the scrotum into the cylinder, so start erect if you’re sensitive. Stop if you feel pain.
For you if: Pumping is your main interest and you want automatic pressure control, pulse and workout routines, synced pumping videos and a pump that can also stroke, all in one premium aluminum machine.
Not for you if: Stroking is your priority (VacuGlide 2 is faster and quieter), you need a pump that works away from a power outlet, or you’d rather not spend premium money on a pump.

Not for you if: Stroking is your priority (VacuGlide 2 is faster and quieter), you need a pump that works away from a power outlet, or you’d rather not spend premium money on a pump.
Yes, if you want a pump that does the work for you. It costs more than a basic pump, and Autoblow doesn't hide that. The money buys a closed-loop pump that holds your level automatically, Pulse and Workout modes, a Stroke mode, synced pumping videos and a routine builder, in an aluminum machine that keeps getting free firmware updates. It's an easy first pump too: you pick a level on the dial, the color-coded gauge shows the recommended safe maximum, a workout handles the timing, and one button releases everything. Right now it's $399 with code PRESALE100 (launch price $499, retail $699).
Autoblow doesn't publish a decibel figure. In Manual mode you hear the pump while it builds vacuum; after that it only runs now and then to top up any leak. Stroke mode is the loud one: Autoblow's own FAQ says it's noticeably louder than VacuGlide 2, because it strokes by moving air through valves instead of with a quiet piston. Save Stroke sessions for when you have privacy.
No. Manual, Pulse, Workouts and Stroke all run from the dial and screen with no connection. Wi-Fi is optional: it adds synced videos, remote control, the workout builder and firmware updates. There's no app to install, because everything runs at fun.autoblow.com in the browser of a phone, tablet or computer; you just sign in with a free Autoblow account.
The included pumping cylinder is 2.125" in diameter. VacuPump works with any cylinder that uses the standard quick-release hose connection, so you can use one you already own or buy another size. Autoblow sells pumping cylinders from 1.75" to 3".
VacuPump is not a medical device and is not intended to treat any health condition. Read and follow the supplied instructions before use, and speak with a qualified healthcare professional if you have questions about whether pumping is appropriate for you.
Pumping can temporarily make the penis appear larger, but there is no reliable evidence that penis pumps produce permanent enlargement. Excessive or prolonged use can cause injury. Use lube, use the minimal vacuum you need, and stop if you feel pain or discomfort. The hand-symbol emergency button releases all vacuum instantly.
Sex toy expert Alec Hardy's rules of thumb from his walkthrough: stay at 6 to 7 inHg or below (the gauge's yellow zone is the recommended safe maximum), keep sessions under 20 minutes, and use plenty of lube so skin doesn't drag against the cylinder. Afterwards, give it a few minutes for everything to return to normal.
The machine isn't waterproof, so wipe it with a damp cloth (a little mild disinfectant is fine) and keep it away from running water. Wash the pumping cylinder and its rubber ring, and the stroking receiver's sleeve, valve and inner parts, with mild soap or a toy cleaner. Then let everything dry completely before you put it back together.
Yes. Autoblow ships in a discreet plain brown box with discreet billing, and VacuPump comes in a discreet padded storage case for keeping it out of sight at home.
VacuPump ships November 18. Pre-order with code PRESALE100 and you pay $399 instead of the $499 launch price, which is $100 off. Retail is $699.
They do different jobs. VacuGlide 2 is a dedicated stroker: its piston runs relatively quietly across a wide range of speeds, and its web app features focus on stroking and pleasure. VacuPump is a pump first, and its features focus on pumping and custom routines. Its Stroke mode feels similar to VacuGlide 2 at roughly speeds 1 to 4, with noticeably more noise, but at about twice VacuGlide 2's vacuum level. Pick VacuGlide 2 for stroking, VacuPump for pumping with stroking as a bonus.
No. VacuPump only syncs with videos made with dedicated VacuPump sync scripts: the custom-filmed pumping videos, the meditative sessions and the AI-guided sessions. The 1,000+ videos made for the Autoblow Ultra and VacuGlide 2 (including VR) use a different scripting format designed for stroking. You can watch them at fun.autoblow.com while you pump, but VacuPump won't follow them. While one plays you get on-screen controls to hold, pulse or stroke the pump yourself, and a local player can run your own videos with a VacuPump sync script.
VacuPump is the most complete penis pump I've reviewed. What matters day to day is the core: it holds the level you set, pulses on a timer and runs real routines, all from one dial with no phone. Stroke mode and the synced videos set it apart from other pumps, but they're the bonus, not the reason to buy.
It isn't cheap, it has to stay plugged in, and if fast stroking is your main goal, VacuGlide 2 is the better machine. If pumping is your thing and you want the most control you can get, this is the one I'd pick. It's $399 with code PRESALE100 (launch price $499, retail $699). Pre-order now, ships November 18.
VacuPump is not a medical device and is not intended to treat any health condition. Use the minimal vacuum you need, use lube, and stop if you feel pain.
