Diva Sniper Pro / Diva Commando
By Carnal Queen
It’s not very often that I’ll write about two products in one post, but these two striking sex machines from Diva just cried out to be talked about together. The Sniper Pro and the Commando are undoubtedly very similar in aesthetics and theme, and when you spot them on sexmachines.co.uk, I think you’re absolutely going to compare them to each other, to work out which machine is the best fit for you.
If you’re a regular here at Carnal Queen, you’ll know that I have one or two (or ten!) sex machines already. The first one I ever owned (sadly now discontinued) was a revelation, and as I’ve gone through my journey of mechanical fuckery, my wants and needs have definitely changed.
I guess it’s like many things in life – we refine our expectations over time. As you progress with something like a sex machine, you learn more about what you want, you expect each one to be better, or to offer you something unique. Diva haven’t disappointed with these two offerings.
It’s no secret that you can spend hundreds and hundreds on high end machines. What I love about Diva is that they make a variety of styles at very competitive and affordable price points. Most people will find something in their range that will be suitable for their needs.
It’s also no secret that I’m an advocate for silicone sex toys. I won’t use jelly/TPR/TPE/rubber dildos, because they can’t be fully sterilised and will harbour bacteria – YUCK! Diva, with machines like the Bendy 360° and the DP, started adding a silicone attachment (yay!), as well as a porous one (not so yay) … so what about these two?
Well! I was very happy to see that there were NO dildos included with either the Sniper Pro or the Commando. Some might think that’s a negative point, but I honestly believe that if you’re willing to invest in a sex machine, it’s beneficial for you to be able to select toys that tick’s YOUR boxes. There’s always a temptation to try these things with the components they arrive with, even if you know they’re not particularly body-safe. With these machines, you build your kit with whatever you want, and you don’t end up “making do”.
So let’s take a brief look at each of these military styled pleasure-packers …

So which is best? Honestly, I can’t really call it. I can tell you which I prefer, but for you it will absolutely depend on your own set of circumstances. You see essentially, the Sniper Pro and the Commando are the same machine. They have the same powered motor, they operate at the same speeds and depths, and they both have the new funky LED-lit branding.
Both of these machines can be expanded in the same way with optional accessories. The shaft rods can be changed for longer ones, or just so you can attach a male masturbator. They’re both equally able to penetrate anally and vaginally, and they both use the same Vac-U-Lock dildo system – so a dildo that fits on one machine will fit the other one too. The thrust depths are easily altered in the same way, and once built, they’re both very easily adjusted to the right angle and height by the screw grips or clamps. It takes seconds!
So it’s really all down to personal preference. You need to consider exactly what you want from a machine. Are you likely to want to use it in a more upright position, or are you happy with horizontal penetration? Where will you store it when not in use? Will it need to be dismantled? What surface will you use your new sex machine on?
For me personally, I favour the Sniper Pro, purely because the two T-legged design is probably my favourite of any sex machine I’ve tried. It’s incredibly simple to assemble, by just sliding the main cross beam onto the legs and adjusting it to the angle and height you require. It’s small enough to just sit in the bottom of a wardrobe when not in use, but if you need to dismantle it, it’s quick and easy to do. The large rubber feet give more stability when used on my uneven floors too.
We mainly use machines in lying or kneeling positions, and on the occasions when we don’t, the Motion Love gets an outing. However, if you’re looking for a machine that’s capable of pretty much any position, the Commando could be the one for you. It’s a solid and sturdy machine, due to it being almost double the weight of the Sniper Pro. But at just 10kg, it’s still more than manageable and manoeuvrable.
It’s worth noting though, because of the upright stand design of the Commando, it’s only really suitable for floor use, and it does take a little more effort to assemble it. The bottom plate needs the bolts screwing in with the included Allen key, which also means if you need to dismantle it to store it, you’re going to need to spend a few minutes taking it apart. If you’ve got a space where it can stay built and ready to go, then fantastic!
We find we get a tiny bit of movement with the Commando, only because our floors aren’t completely level. As the bottom plate is one piece, you can’t compensate for any irregularities in the surface it’s used on, like you can with the two-legged Sniper Pro. I am a huge fan of the Commando’s camouflage paint job though, it’s nice to see something a little bit different, especially if you’re lucky enough to not need to hide your machine away.
I’m not a fan of the over-the-top retail packaging of either machine, because it feels outdated, and a bit sexist. We don’t really need scantily clad women to sell sex toys, do we? But that’s a minor niggle, and since I just recycled them (which probably gave my bin men a giggle!), it didn’t really bother me too much. I’m delighted that you get to choose your own dildos and attachments with them though …. SILICONE all the way! ????
They’re both cracking sex machines, and each of them will do the same job. It’s the construction style and angle that will be the decider. Much like us, they’re essentially the same inside, they’re just built a little differently!
The Sniper Pro and the Commando were sent to me by sexmachines.co.uk – a UK based Internet store that caters for all of your sex machine needs. Why not pay them a visit?
