First of all, I'd like to point out that my experience with Better Love Doll has been amazing. The whole process from buying to receiving the product has been very good, with clear communication and fulfilling the claims that are on the website regarding production and shipping times as well as import taxes. I have no complains in that regard.
Bear in mind that this is the first time I own a doll and I've had it for a week, so some of my criticism might be unfounded due to inexperience. To sum it up, I totally recommend the doll. Considering that it's in the low range of pricing for custom full silicone dolls, I think that the quality is good (maybe should be better for the price you pay, but that's a market price discussion) and many of its features work well.
Positive aspects:
-The doll is really well-made, the insertions for the electric controls are really well sealed and integrated and it arrived with no noticeable imperfections or dents (just a couple of dents on the feet, but this may be due to the skeleton).
-Both the body and the heads are pretty similar to the pictures on the website (I ordered heads T57 and T41). Although they have clearly been taken in a studio with perfect make up and clothes, there isn't a noticeable downgrade in the product I have received. I was hugely surprised by that. Despite that, I'd recommend looking for more representative pictures of the doll the you want before ordering (you'll find them pretty easily).
-The skeleton is surprisingly accurate and movable. It allows twisting, turning and moving the limbs in many positions and the silicone does not seem to be in much tension to have to worry about it tearing. The articulated fingers are really accurate too.
-The gel breasts feel really good. They might not feel like real ones, but they're certainly nice enough.
-I am very surprised by the nails. They feel pretty similar to fake nails that a person would wear and they are very well glued to the doll.
-The breathing function is surprisingly soothing. It isn't very noticeable, but the chest expands enough to feel it. The pump emits a noise that I find comfortable and not annoying at all (it's kinda similar to someone snoring not very loudly), and, when the pump releases the air, it really sounds as someone exhaling. It's battery-powered so you can use it at night for sleep without worrying about wires and then charge it in the morning.
Things to take into consideration:
-The doll weight matters a lot. To be specific, the problem is not it being heavy, but how difficult is to grab it properly, so bear that in mind. It's large and, sure, you can bend it to carry it, but it's still difficult (you'll hit doors, it'll slide, and so on...). I can't see a scenario in which you'd be able to frequently carry it around your house. Just taking it into the shower to clean it when it arrived was certainly a challenge. If it's laying on the bed, it's not that big of a deal, but, whenever you need to move it out from the bed (for example, to change sheets), be ready to break a sweat. This becomes very relevant when cleaning the doll, so either buy a cleaning kit that allows you to clean the doll's holes while on the bed or use condoms.
-I'd totally recommend to choose gel ass as an option if available. The difference compared to the breasts, which are the gel ones, is very noticeable; the latter feel so much better, while the former feels sturdy and a bit hard, up to the point which you can't pinch and ass cheek.
-The ROS head might be too tight to be used for oral sex if you don't use a lot of lube. For this reason, the auto blowjob feature might not be worth it. I haven't tested it properly yet, but I don't feel that the function has enough force to be able to push the head deep enough to feel it. Again, this might be due to the doll being new and the orifice haven't stretched yet or something.
Negative aspects:
-My main concern comes to the doll's hair. I chose synthetic implanted hair as an option and my doll has lost a fair chunk of hair (about a fistful) since it arrived. I combed it with the same comb that comes in the package and haven't done anything to it apart from that, so it's not like I might've used damaging products or anything. I'm pretty sure that the head will eventually go bald at this rate, so maybe choosing a wig as a hair option is better. That's the only reason I can't give the product five stars.
-This is not so negative, but something that bothers me a bit. The head wobbles quite a bit. I have adjusted it, and also tried to tighten and untighten the little threads of the rod (it's a push-fit), but it still feels a bit loose for my liking. It's fully secured and I can feel the rod popping in fine, but still. I may consider changing the rod to a full-threaded one.
