I've tried various different ladies' electric razors in the past three years...Braun, Panasonic and this one. I chose the Conair "Infiniti" based on attractive appearance, unique slimmer and lighter design, and features. Price was a bit high, but I think it was worth it. It was easy to use and handles nice. It also features two shaving heads with foils and a pop-up trimmer if you desire to use it. I found the two heads to have an advantage over the others I've tried with one. You have to look carefully when shavers say they have features such as "three heads", etc. The Panasonic I used up until now boasted three heads when in fact it was just one large head, one pop-up trimmer, and one designed only for much longer hairs (which it states in the instructions as something like 1/2" or more?) which is kind of dumb to have something like that for women's legs. At least I would hope so. Anyway this Conair gave me a much quicker and easier shave and is great for stubble especially. With the Panasonic and Braun, I had to go over and over my legs. I suggest to not push hard when shaving...try and use a firm but light touch. The head on this model is flexible, which helps with curves or bumpy areas such as knees or ankles. It is quiet, the top snaps apart for cleaning, and it has an easy to use charging stand. Also comes with a cleaning brush, instruction book, and razor head cap/cover. I recommend it.

I researched this at countless websites, looking for reviews. Boy, I should have listened to those reviews. This is a horrible product. I followed the instructions to the T, but it never got every hair on my legs. In fact, I got ingrown hairs. As a result, I tried waxing- now THAT was worth it. Also, the battery did not last as long as they claimed it would. I guess my expectations were too high. Since it was opened, Amazon would not let me return it for a full refund, so I contacted Conair-and they let me exchange it for another conair product. Great customer service, horrible product.

There were instructions in this razor saying to give it a few weeks for your skin to adjust to it, but I never once got a close shave with this. It left a lot of stubble, plus longer hairs. I also got scraped up quite often by the "pop-up" blade, which is in between the two foils and sticks up higher than the foils so there is no avoiding it as you shave. I experimented with using different pressure and angles, but often got scrapes and my skin was always raw after using it. I got several ingrown hairs on my bikini line and, while I am prone to them with regular razors, have never had that happen with an electric razor before this one. I basically gave up on using it after about a month, and would occasionally try it again in the hopes it would magically start working. The battery stopped charging after a few months, even with such little use. Don't waste your money.

This shaver works ok; it doesn't hold a charge for very long, and it is very slow going, so it's definitely not a substitute for good ole razors. It is nice that it works wet or dry, so it's good for a quick fix if you decide to wear a sleeveless top at the last minute. You do have to be careful because the pop-up trimmer can nick you even when it's not popped up - the angle of the shaver has to be just right on your skin or you'll end up with razor burn anyway!

The three times that I used the shaver it did a decent job. Then it would not charge completely and would allow me to get maybe half a leg before it would run out of battery.
