In true TechPowerUp tradition, I 'overclocked' (tweaked) the Meridian to go above and beyond its specifications. My aphrodisiac is belting 5 - 8 V through its little 3 V motor. Such high voltage may burn its pattern logic, but makes for some epic vibes that sound like a hand-blender. Sadly, the Meridian doesn't come with a DC-in connector. Something like that with juiced rechargeable NiCd batteries would've been cool, though.
