Usability

Pros:

  • "It's easy to carry and can be used easily and does the job pretty well."
  • "The pivoting head makes it easy to follow the contour of facial areas."
  • "The head is flexible and forms to any area of your skin."
  • "This product is very easy to use. I was able to get a lot of peach fuzz off as well as stiffer hair on chin area."
  • "It's quick and easy to use!"
  • "This is an easy trimmer to use when you need to trim up your eyebrows or around the lip area."
  • "So easy to use!! Gets rid of eyebrow hairs in between getting eyebrows waxed."

Cons:

  • "Parts very small and hard to handle for interchanging eyebrow to face hair blades... Not effective with coarse chin hair."
  • "The curved handle takes more room in my makeup travel bag."
  • "Attachments are difficult to take on and off."
  • "Make sure you put the right guard on this thing or you will shave your eyelashes off like I did."
  • "The bending mechanism on the trimmer doesn’t lock in place, so I have to use my index finger to hold it in place while trimming, burdensome."
  • "I could not get the eyebrow comb to fit over the blade to save my life!"
  • "I’m a little hesitant to get close to my eyebrow because of how well it cuts but I’ve yet to try the other attachments."

Battery and Power

Pros:

  • "This hair trimmer does exactly what it says it does. I've never had any issues with it, and the battery lasts a long time."
  • "I bought this from Amazon in 2007. I use it perhaps once or twice a month, and just changed the battery!"
  • "A single battery lasts a very long time."
  • "The device operates on one AA battery (not included) and run time is stated to be 180 minutes."
  • "I replace the battery every 3-6 months, and after a year I'm probably due for a new blade."
  • "I haven’t had to change the battery in a LONG time."
  • "The battery will last forever and then you can pop it out and start again."

Cons:

  • "Runs off of 1 AA battery that is not included."
  • "I have now owned 4 of these in 2 years. Every single one has randomly died."
  • "Unbelievable! Husband has only used this 3 times (purchased a year ago) and he tries it today and nothing! Change out the battery…nothing. Not happy at all!"
  • "This product completely died and stop working about a month 1/2 after I bought it."
  • "Got one few years ago, liked it but it died randomly. Got another one just a few months ago -- already dead."
  • "One of the standout issues was the device's battery life. Much like other reviewers have mentioned, the battery seemed to drain quickly, requiring frequent recharges."
  • "But I bought it on August 26th, and it died less than 2 months later."

Design and Build Quality

Pros:

  • "The trimmer feels sturdy, as do the attachments, and this is likely a device that will last many years."
  • "I BOUGHT THIS RAZOR BACK IN 2018 AND I HAVE HAD IT FOR LIKE 5 YEARS AND ITS THE BEST IVE OWNED."
  • "This is a really well made bathroom gadget."
  • "The design is sleek and ergonomic, making it easy to hold and maneuver."
  • "It is sleek, compact, and features a very nice design."
  • "The cap clicks in place and never fails."
  • "I find that it fits the contour of my hand & trims beautifully."

Cons:

  • "Flimsy pink plastic piece of junk!"
  • "This thing cuts NOTHING."
  • "Seems overpriced for what it is, as the small and cheap ones run about $9 and do the same job."
  • "I felt like this item was overpriced and making it pretty & pink was patronizing women, actually."
  • "This item works but is cheaply made. It does travel well. Replacement blades on Amazon are $25!"
  • "Also, the trimmer just feels like it’s cheaply made."
  • "It's kind of light and cheaply made, too."

Performance and Effectiveness

Pros:

  • "The blades work swiftly and cut quickly. They do not pull the hair."
  • "All the peach fuzz gone gone gone. My make up goes on so nicely now."
  • "I use the eyebrow trimmer for my whole face, and it's super quick and easy."
  • "The shave is not as close as with the flawless."
  • "So small and so powerful! It gets a pretty close shave and really gets rid of peach fuzz! Super easy to use and super durable!"
  • "It did such a great job getting the fine hairs on my neck and upper lip."
  • "Finally found one that doesn’t pull the hair or skin and actually catches all the little peach fuzz!"

Cons:

  • "It doesn't do much good tackling coarse hair that requires a sharp blade to mow down to the skin."
  • "This won’t provide the precision for nose or eyebrows & doesn’t quite get to the root of facial hair."
  • "Definitely not for sensitive skin. It cut my skin but, ironically, did not remove all the hair."
  • "It causes pimples whenever I use it because it's not sharp enough so you never get all the hairs nor a close enough shave."
  • "It’s working, it turns on, and seems to do some work…But it literally does nothing at all."
  • "This hair removal never clears the face of hair as it doesn't pull the roots."
  • "It is too weak to trim eyebrow hairs!"

Additional Features and Accessories

Pros:

  • "Included are the trimmer head that has 7 intervals along with two eyebrow trimming combs each with 3 intervals."
  • "It includes an eyebrows blades and two clip on brow length guides."
  • "It comes with many attachments for whatever your need may be."
  • "This gadget comes with the wand, 1 reusable (no need to replace) longer razor, 1 reusable very small razor attachment for detailing tough spots like around the brows."
  • "For a variety of uses, it comes with 3 different head fixtures for the desired trim."
  • "The other great feature is the eyebrow combs, which allow you to trim eyebrow hairs to the same length."
  • "I love the changeable blades, one is much shorter than the other."

Cons:

  • "I really wish Panasonic had included an a small storage bag for the trimmer and accessories."
  • "I wish the price point was lower as well, I think if this was a solid 12 dollars it would make more sense since you can't buy replacement heads."
  • "I always have purchased this item & loved it. Didn’t love the fact I can’t buy a new trimmer (the small piece to attach) I have to buy a whole new set every time."
  • "I wish there was one that was a USB charge with replacement heads!"
  • "None of them fit into the cap on, which is slightly annoying -- more parts you can lose just laying around."
  • "It does not come with eyebrow blade (shown in picture)."
  • "I also loved the accessories that come along with it."
