 Good Product, Bad Battery Life April 30, 2010

I've ordered a ton of items on Amazon before but have never left feedback. Usually I only order products with good feedback so I never have a problem with the item. Well this shaver is good when it has full battery life, but it drains quickly. And it doesn't hold a charge if you let it sit in your drawer for a week or two. I don't use or charge this every day so when I do need to use it I have to plan ahead and charge it the day before, which is a pain.

I have my bf trim my back hair to nice and smooth! . It takes a few minutes and this thing works perfect! If your super hairy (fur coat on your back) you may want to trim first with a chain saw then use this after

It seems "T.J." gave probably the most imformative and accurate review that I read; however, he doesn't mention specifically using it on the facial area, and he makes no mention of battery performance either, so if you are interested in my experience on these...read on: So far I love this thing to death! Best $46 I think I ever spent! As a disclaimer and to be fair though, I haven't used it in the shower yet, so can't comment on wet usage. Also, I haven't used it below the waist but sparingly; however it performed perfectly down there too...so far.
What I REALLY love is the fact that I have found a shaver that I can use on my face without it causing a rash and/or razor burn. If the hair on my face is longer than 1/8" or so, I just go over it with one of the micro trimmers first (there is one on either side of the foil attachment), then I go back over it with the foil until it's nice and smooth. Voila! No razor burn! I USED TO HAVE a Norelco rotary, triple-head shaver, and that thing just played Hell on my neck! THIS ONE, being a "foil" head design though, I think is mainly where the difference between the two results is gained. No razor burn, plus it gives a nice clean shave too......Hoooooorrah!! A++++
Now, about battery life: The battery type is a NiMH, which is better than the "old style" NiCd rechargeables. Instructions say 50 minutes of use from an 8 hour charge, but from my experience.....this seems inecredibly underrated, and actually lasts much longer. I read somewhere that occasionally discharging batteries fully, can extend their life. After fully charging and using mine for the first time, I turned it on and left it running to fully discharge the battery before REcharging it again. That thing ran for at least an hour longer before it ran out of juice, and that was after having just used it for 30 minutes! After charging it fully a second time, I haven't charged it since then; that was several shaves/uses ago, however...your mileage may vary.
Also regarding the battery: It says not to store it on the charging base so that it won't be constantly charging, but for ease of use...I do JUST that.....however, I turn it slightly in it's base to where the "charging" contacts don't make contact with each other, and therefore it's not actually charging ("charging" indicator light not on). Solves the problem of unplugging the thing.
Worth the money April 3, 2010

Right out of the box this is extremely easy to use. I have been using my regular electric razor and so I was a little concerned about shaving in sensitive areas. But nothing to worry about. The trimming combs snap right and do a great job of creating that look you want. And the shaver is super sensitive - no cuts or snags. It's not as powerful as a face razor, but for certain areas that is definitely a bonus. Absolutely buy - you won't be disappointed.
