Microtouch MAX Lighted Personal Trimmer

I've only used this a few times, but it definitely helps you reach the tough spots like the back of the head. It's excellent for trimming using just the clippers with no attachments, but I had some trouble using the attachments. First, they aren't labeled, so it's tough to compare them to regular clipper attachments (like no. 3 or no. 4 etc.). Second, my using them to cut my hair means I basically can use only one hand if I'm using bathroom sink mirrors since I have to lean backwards for a good view and I need my other hand to support myself against the counter. So when clipping my hair it's hard to get it to make good contact with the trimmer under the attachment. The hair tends to float on top of the attachment and not go through the slots and against the cutting portion of the tool. Using the attachments resulted in my hair being very short where the trimmer touches the head and to cut the hair longer where it met the attachment. That tends to make the hair very short, maybe shorter than you wanted, near the hair line and places nearer the hair line. I'm still learning how this thing works, so I will probably get better results as I figure it out. It's very easy to trim near the hair line, but it's hard to trim hair to the exact length you want away from the hairline. Overall, it works well - certainly better than using just scissors like I had been doing. But I wish the manual gave suggestions and pictures on how to use it with the attachments. The built in light went out, but it doesn't help you see better anyway, so that wasn't a problem.

I've been using this trimmer for a while now, and it works well. Very satisfied with it.

Last year, I bought a ear and nose trimmer with a famous name, the one that was recommended by Amazon as a best value. It was well made, shiny, had a rechargable battery, a nice case, all good. It had a circular designed blade. Everything was great except for one thing, it didn't do a very good job. I had to have my trusty scissors handy to clip off what the unit did not. On the other hand, this unit is pretty cheap, uses a regular battery, and doesn't have a nice (or any) case. However, the thing is that it works like a charm. The blades do the job, the eyebrow and mustache combs are wonderful, and it really works. Once in a while it will catch the skin inside your nose if you aren't careful, but no big deal. The light doesn't really do anything because who can see inside of their ear anyway? All in all, I woud take this a hundred times over the fancy elegant one that doesn't work.

This is an excellent product. I love that it has a light to help me see inside my nose when trimming the hair. It is very sharp and cuts hair very well.

After only three uses, this "Max" version of the Microtouch trimmer stopped trimming. After two uses, the blade had slowed markedly but we were eventually able to get it moving again by applying lubricant. This was the second Microtouch trimmer that we purchased. The first was a "regular" model (not "Max") and it also failed after three uses - in fact, we bought the Max anticipating that it would perform more robustly than our first one had. Nope. We use our devices properly, and with care, on dry hair that is not thick, and with no exposure to water or dropping or any other sort of damage. Each was stored between uses with its clear plastic cap applied. We live in the continental US, with regular humidity, and so on. Batteries were fresh - we even tested them when we encountered these problems and they were at full charge. In summary, the items have been used under unremarkable and "regular" operating conditions. On the plus side, we enjoyed how the "nose" of the item is compact and easy to maneuver, and how the trimmer cuts well WHEN it is working. But those things don't do any good when the item stops working. So, in our experience, you might as well save some money and go for the cheaper Microtouch trimmer since, either way, you get only about three uses and then it conks out.

Great product, good price!

ne rase rien!!!!

I have the original one of these which was very flimsy but this second one is much more robust, plus the start button is far better placed.

Die Ware ist sehr schön und von Top-Qualität – ich bin super zufrieden!
