Cheap Shaver is Cheap
I picked one of these up on sale last fall in order to be able to cut my own hair. The price was right, especially on sale, and it performed adequately for my needs - touching up a crew cut once a month or so. However the tabs which allow the guides (which Conair inexplicably calls "combs") to clip on to the main unit are flimsy and in roughly nine months of infrequent use I have broken the tabs on all three attachments, meaning that the unit can no longer adjust to trim hair at any length greater than bald skin.<br /><br />  This is a real flaw, but I was willing to put up with it, right up until I tried to order replacement "combs" and found that while they will sell you replacements, it's totally impossible to order such replacements online. The manufacturer has an online store and there's a separate website dedicated specifically to this product - but neither website has current pricing nor ordering info for replacement parts. If you want to order replacement parts, you have to do it by phone.<br /><br />And that's why I'm buying a different brand of trimmer for next month's haircut.
