Don’t believe the ad bombardment - these are absolutely useless

published

My partner had seen the advertisements touting this as the answer to all his head shaving problems.
It was $119-00 at the Shaver Shop, and the girl talked us into a big bottle of oil too as an up sell.
We bought it on Boxing Day, got home today and tried it. Three days after buying and and one use later, it’s in the bin.
I would package it up and demand a refund, because it's not fit for the use intended, but can’t be bothered paying postage to send it back.

Waste of time and money

published

Product is a poor design, Promises but does not deliver!

I think head shape is a big factor I used the shortest setting and it left two big uncut patches on the back of my head.

Get some conventional Clippers and avoid the gimmicks.

Waste of money

published

I bought this for my son. He ended up having to go to the hairdresser for fix his hair up. Left patches, couldn't get into all the areas on his head. My husband even tried it and we ended up using the old fashioned hair clippers instead. Yes, should be taken off the market.

Useless piece of crap

published

The cut was very good on top of my sons head but the back and sides either didn't cut or were patchy spent 20 minutes going over and over in different directions and still had to get out the old clippers out to finish the job and make it presentable. This product should be taken off the selves and used as wheel chocks for a steam roller.

12 mths old and it's fallen apart

published

I've had my VS crew cut for about 12 months now using it about twice month no problems at all until today, it started cutting rough and then the plastic middle of it broke away and is now in 3 or so pieces, happy days not :( you'd think for the price you pay for this equipment it would last a few years at least... Oh well looks like I'll be going back to my old faithful 15 year old wahl clippers

Battery

Got the Vs crew cut for Xmas 2018 used twice and now won’t charge. Waste of money. Won’t recommend this to any one. Hopefully the company going to look into the battery problems. Unhappy client.

Don’t waste your money!

published

I haven’t seen a product this useless in a long time! Very uneven result, looks like a blind man cut my husbands hair. Next time I’ll get our 5 year old to do it, she’d do a better job.

Crap

published

Very expensive and cuts hair in chunks. There’s a lot better value for money. I was talked into this by a salesman who must have been getting commission because he lied

Quite happy with the cut.

published

I haven't used it for several months and now find it won't take a full charge, ie it charges enough to make it JUST move, but several attempts to re-charge completely,are useless. Had it less than 12 months and expect it to last longer.

Terrible

published

This is disgraceful. I used it once and it took chunks out of my hair. Very uneven cut. Had to literally cut all my hair of with another razor. I wish i could post some photos of it. Id advise to stay clear.

Junk product

published

Like previous reviews, takes forever and still have to use conventional clippers to finish up the parts that it can't cut. The mini battery operated trimmer is equally or worse quality than the main cutter. Please avoid and stay with a normal clipper.

First Use,Great product.

published

I am very happy with this product, all the negatives is wrong, bottom line, if you want a crew cut, it does this very well, my setting was Number One,I think, if your buying this item, and set at Number four, you will be disapointed as you may not get the even coverage.I followed up with the trimmer, around the ears. I think most of the negative comments are user error.I would spend, $18.00 at the local hairdresser, for 5 minutes work, not anymore!!

the perfect machine for cutting hair

published

This is the best inventions after that of hair, it is so easy to use and very smooth one adjustment to go ... it glides over the head with the same contour and no need for wetting or blades or combs or or
and it comes with trimmer for sideburns and those tricky places.

Keeps turning on

published

Received as a Xmas gift, whilst it did a good job trimming, it keeps turning on randomly when in the off position. Cheap quality, not worth the money. Hope my daughter still has receipt, so I can return.

Cuts OK.

published

I read the instructions a couple of times then followed them. It cuts ok, you need to move the cutter in the manner outlined in the directions, this ensures a reasonable uniformity of length and cute evenness.
Ensure you have washed & dried your hair before cutting and try not to apply too much pressure on your scalp with the cutter.
If you were after a cutter that cuts your hair in one pass then I suggest you visit a Barber or Hairdresser.

Perfect for me.

published

I use it over the wash tubs in the laundry, pick the hair up with a paper towel then brush it out with a small paint brush. Just go around in different directions until I don`t hear it cutting hair anymore. No accessories came with it. It has four height settings for goodness sake, if one can`t be found to do the job, there is no hope of pleasing anybody. It cuts hair very well. The complaints about missing some hair around the ears is valid, but can easily be done with scissors afterwards. It is perfect for my use.

Nope it's no good

published

The other 1 star reviews are correct. It cuts unevenly and takes forever to achieve a very shabby cut. You'll end up needing to finish it off with old clippers or go to the barber to fix it.
