Customers value the Electric Shaver's affordable price, but many find its shaving performance to be lacking. Several users noted difficulty achieving a close shave, requiring significant pressure and still leaving hairs uncut. The product may be a suitable option for budget-conscious consumers, but those prioritizing a superior shave should consider alternatives.

Needed a low price but effective razor as a gift for a friend, so I checked Best Buy and found a good one. The razor does a good job for the price and can be recharged with enclosed cord. You can shave with razor plugged in or moving around as the battery stays charged for a few hours.

Cheap and flimsy is OK, but the screen has such tiny holes that it is a miracle when a hair accidentally goes into one. I've been passing the shaver over my whiskers until the battery runs down ( about ten minutes) and there are still dozens of hairs that didn't get cut.

I would give this zero star. Have to put lots of pressure for hairs to be cut/shaved. Got a bad razor burn, redness and blotchy skin with burning pain for 4+ days.

For the price it is a great starter razor. I purchased for my son that has started shaving and they haven’t had any issues with it.

A good shaver at a very affordable price. The trimmer at the back is useful for catching any stray hairs which the main blade may miss.

Even an inexpensive razor should cut well when new; this is subpar.
I have other inexpensive products from Vivitar that work well enough, but this razor is a disappointment

My husband needed a basic electric razor and this does the trick. Nothing fancy, just a clean shave for a good price.

Well, if I could give this a zero, I would. Does not shave anything. Nothing. Short hairs, long hairs, 5 o'clock shadow. Nothing. I'm hoping they will let me return.

I got this for my husband with rewards points. He likes it so far. The little trimmer attached gets used a lot. I like the fact that it's rechargeable, so I don't have to look for batteries every time I turn around.
