Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.

| Pros: |
- Large site
- Epoch as payment processor
- Lots of variety in actresses, scenes, etc.
- 4K content
- Didn't encounter any download limits (FWIW, I don't have the speeds to churn through the site and grab a bunch of 4K vids like the other reviewer mentioned)
- Photos often available for download
- Lots of variety in skin tones, sizes, hair, etc.
- Good exposure to some really great stripper/porn star names. My personal favorite: Strokahontas |
| Cons: |
- "Embed" instead of a download link was encountered more than once. Not really sure how that's supposed to work on a paid subscription.
- I'm not positive it's not just a clone of the Lethal site. It looked very familiar. Can one of the PU admins confirm with the owners?
- Photos would be an option, but there would be no photos on the linked page and nothing available to download
- Listed video sizes and .zip file sizes were consistently wrong. |
| Bottom Line: |
The less-good. None is really too bad and none are deal breakers, but it was noticed more than a few times:
Pics and vids organization is a bit of a mess. Sizes will be listed beside the downloads, but 50%+ are incorrect. 1080p sizes will be listed as the same as the 720p clips, and photos' zip sizes will often not seem to correspond to anything in particular. It was nice to have the sizes listed, but many (most?) of the time the sizes listed for the larger video and photo download options were wrong. No big deal, but it was always very noticeable.
I had been a member of Lethal a long time ago, and quite a few of the videos looked familiar to me. I'm not sure if they weren't just similar scenes with the same actresses, but I left wondering if Wankz and Lethal are the same or at least share a lot of content. Maybe admin can confirm with the sites.
There were some dead-end links that led to photo pages with nothing to view or download, and there were occasionally download links that led to tiny ~4kB files that were clearly not the 30 minute clip you were trying to download.
The good:
One of the best parts of this site is the naming structure. Yes, I know it has little to do with video quality or quantity, but let's consider it a rare quality-of-life situation. I run into so many sites that allow download managers and unlimited downloads, and after you load your queue up with clips you discover the video that came from a page titled "Beautiful Milf Kayla Synz Gets Some Help Folding Her Laundry" ends up being saved in your download folder as something like "39030_01_HD" or the even worse "video." Not Wankz. If you download a clip from a page titled "Sexy Secretary Alana Evans gets drilled just right," you will end up with a video titled "sexy-secretary-alana-evans-gets-drilled-just-right."
Even when the video doesn't mention the actress by name, it will at least give you an idea of what is happening in the scene. For instance, "an-office-romance-gets-really-hot-and-heavy" is an actual name of a clip. You might not immediately know who is in it, but at least you have an idea of what's happening compared to 77327_02_HD.
Well done, Wankz.
They offer 4K downloads. I don't have anything that is able to properly view or oherwise take advantage of downloading those huge clips, so I can't comment on quality. Many/most of their newer clips offered portable, SD, 720p, and 1080p download options, and the older clips would often be a choice between two fair-to-decent quality options. They looked okay and the quality was acceptable considering they were older scenes.
Content-wise it's fairly standard stuff you'd see at competitors like Reality Kings, Brazzers, etc., but I never got the feeling this was on the same level. It's still a good site, but it's like watching your local college play football before going to see the playoffs. The first guys were fun to watch and did a good job, but the top teams are almost playing an entirely different game on an identical field.
Would I recommend? Yes, and what especially lifted them out of the "average" range is the recognizable naming of files. I understand it's a little more work, but the coordination between files seems like it would be easy to do when setting up the system, and it's a shame we can't see that from websites more often. |
