I've used this model for several years and have been very satisfied. Occasionally a single hair escapes cutting but it can easily be removed with the trimmer followed by the shaver. Have used both the close and super close screens with good results. Tried the sensitive skin screen once but it took too long to shave. The contacts on the shaver and especially the charger need to be cleaned occasionally with a pencil eraser to assure good contact. Using a magnifying mirror helps to get a really good shave. Don't blame the shaver if you can't see without your glasses!

Everytime this shaver needs a charge it is a major pain. It is like the shaver does not have enough weight to make a solid contact to the AC prongs or blades. I have to use a rubber band of the correct length and stretch to keep the contact solid = MAJOR DESIGN FLAW! I got tired of the "rubber band recharge the shaver" hassle and went back to the triple rotor blade company.

The Wahl 4000 misses too much compared to the triple rotor design. I have to use a Mach 3 or 4 bladed razor to finish up which means I'm buying blades.

I still use the Wahl 4000, (when it is charged) to shave the nubs after I shave my head - the tripe rotor does a better job on top too.

Wahl's products are inexpensive and you get what you pay for. Cheap plastic, cheap contacts in battery-operated models that quickly corrode and need constant cleaning, useless plastic accessories. Think of their products as disposable and you'll probably be satisfied.
