Should I buy? Average review of 2.5 is surprising and discouraging. I was going to buy one because my best friend has 2--one for home & one for travel--and he is very happy with both.

Even with my bad experiences I would buy another one as long as it was $45 or less. Just keep in mind that you will not be able to find replacement heads and will have to throw it out when it no longer shaves you good. Depending on your beard this could take a few years. I had no issues until mine got worn out.

I purchased this for my Son who has sensitive facial skin and shaving was causing razor bumps. He was disappointed because it did not give as clean a shave compared to a razor. Not impressed.

Since I wrote my review of the shaver, I just discovered that the shaving head cover CAN be removed, and the cutters CAN also be removed for cleaning. This is all described in the instruction leaflet, which I had earlier misplaced. My model I think is the original 4130. The other models cost a few dollars more, and they re-charge faster. I'm pleased that it's lighter weight, and has a quieter motor than Norelco metal shavers I had owned before. The way the 4130's shaving head flexes and tilts, is a little different than the rigid shavers I was always used to before.

Just go over the reviews and you'll get an idea. I looked into it before I purchased this. Waiting for mine to get here in 2 days! yay! lol

You are covered up to the price you paid for the item....that is it. It does not matter when you reach that point. People are thinking they are better off taking the 5 year warranty instead of 2 but it does not make any difference. If you paid $99 for the item that is all you get from the warranty and the shipping uses up part of that....LOL. If it is a large item and requires someone coming to your home, they will pay $99 and you are stuck with the rest of the bill. I had to really ask direct questions to get these answers. They do not tell you this any place. Be very very careful if you use them. You are covered up to the price you paid for the item....that is it. It does not matter when you reach that point.

> If you buy new, you should get a Version 2Not the case; it's completely unpredictable unless you find a vendor willing to check for you and ship a specific unit. I heard from one seller, through whom I've been watching for a v2 shipment from SanDisk, that the last batch they received were actually all older units (they could tell from the package design). Seems like the old stock is being unloaded now that the e200 series has been discontinued. So if the version makes a difference for your purposes, contact vendors and find someone willing to check for you. One advantage of refurbs is that it's less likely they'll have to cut open a factory package to do this. > If you buy new, you should get a Version 2Not the case; it's completely unpredictable unless you find a vendor willing to check for you and ship a specific unit.

You should really look at the other comments. I made a mistake and didn't pay attention and ordered this piece of crap for a family member. Anytime an item has more 1 star ratings than 4 and 5 star combined, you should reconsider your purchase. Just my opinion.

I agree and have noticed that as well. I bought the older version and have been pleased with it. I have also not read complaints about the newer version. It may be as simple as supply and demand or something we are not aware of. You might check review sites just to make sure the version 2 is well rated and then go for it if it's cheaper. The 20MM has been a great lens, I have received compliments about my photo's and 9 times out of 10, it's taken with the 20mm.

If You Want To Buy 2 It Will Avoid Taking Risks of Breaking Hard Worked Bracelets To Expand Its Size. So its Better To Buy 2, To Have a Spare Mini Loom, Hook, and some spare bands incase some Break.And Avoiding Talking the Risk. Hope this Helped :)

Hey, thank you for your reply! You may have just persuaded me to buy this :)

There's a lot of discussion about the advantages of the old version in the Amazon user reviews of both versions. I bought the (more expensive) old version and am happy with it, but never tried the newer one for comparison.

I saw that review too. Sadly, it was probably here on Amazon. The ONE I bout was I think, $6 or something a few months ago? Now it is $12? It really isn't worth $12, but $4 or $6? You betcha. I want another but am not going to buy at this price - it's just not essential. (But is sure is fun!)

You are wrong. Example. Find this product on Amazon. "Maui (Lonely Planet) [Paperback]:" Nine Vine reviewers gave this item from 1 to 3 stars. Others gave it 5 stars. I gave it 3. Amazon doesn't want unhappy customers. Vine reviewers can spot a problem, and make potential buyers aware of it, before they spend their money. Most of the items are good to VG. That's why reviews are generally high. That's also the value in the Vine program.

There will always be a bad apple whether its the product or the person reviewing it. Sometimes people just have bad luck with products. But we haven't regretted our purchase for even a second. We love it. Good luck with yours if you get it. Just be sure to do the support on the bottom the proper way and I think you'll be really pleased with it. We may have gone a little overboard on the framing of the base but that's how we roll. Lol

Well i would suggest getting one, it's really awesome and light. However if you don't want one, you don't really need it. Though it would be best to have one.

You know I think I had the same question...and ended up buying the bigger one...I think their website had info and when I talked to them there were many reasons I went with the bigger one...I'd touch base with them. Peace. D.
