The Spank-O-Matic II was officially released in late May, 2009. They've been shipping briskly since then, and as always I encourage owners to share their feelings about their machine after getting a reasonable amount of experience using it. Customers are always welcome to email me their thoughts... if it's an interesting testimonial, please indicate that I can use it or expect a request to do so in response. All testimonial providers are kept in the strictest confidence.
Although the SOM II is brand new for 2009, it's been in development for years and thoroughly tested throughout, of course. The final pre-production model provided many hours of spanking over one last test weekend at the Texas All-State Spanking Party just before being released, and you can read a little about one target's experience in Zed and Ginger's blog, here: Texas Allstate Party 2009 Part II. A long-time skeptic of spanking machines, she concludes the SOM II portion of her tale with this: "I was actually thoroughly impressed with this machine. It wasn't a pansy machine - it actually delivered quite a good wallop!"

Paul -- the SOMII is fantastic! Wow... don't know what to say :) we are just starting out and haven't had a chance to explore all the features including the auto mode but I'm sure it's gonna be very exciting!

Simply brilliant! I had very high expectations for your SOM II machine, and they have all been exceeded. It was a tremendous hit at a recent club night where it went paddle to paddle with your competitor and, you might say, spanked that other machine. The SOM II is incredibly sleek and sexy, and works even better than you claim. Thank you so much for the newest and best tool in my toybox.

I've been using the spanker several times a week since it came in June, and have to say it's the most amazing toy I own. So far, whether I'm alone with the machine or using it on a friend, there's nothing I have wanted to do that it hasn't been able to do. It's very powerful! Congratulations on a great machine, you have one very satisfied customer!

The Spank-O-Matic II is a brilliant piece of machinery. I live alone, and play the same way, but I don't want a big black box sitting around and that kept me from that "other" machine. My spanker is very easy to store and move about, although if it is broken down all of the way there are lots of pieces to deal with. I haven't yet gone to find a golf bag per oyur recommendation, but do expect to end up using one. It hits plenty hard, that's for sure. Great work, I'm quite pleased!

This isn't exactly a testimonial, since I haven't bought your machine yet, but I wanted to let you know that your explanations and approach worked for me. I knew I wanted a SOM II when I first saw it. However, I read your counters to the Robospanker claims, and then went to read the claims themselves. Your links and explanations are clear and present a good case but I remained concerned about the compressor health risks from the Robospanker site. I decided to write DeWalt, the company that made my air compressor. Their response requested that I read the manual to understand all risks and concerns with the compressor. I did, and that sealed it for me. Nothing about the health risks of bacteria or oil, ventilation was related to spraying things, and draining the tank is no big deal and something I already do. I want the more capable machine and will be ordering my SOM II in time for Christmas.
