IPX7 Waterproof combination body clipper and vaccum -- a novel solution to hair everywhere
There is a huge number of options for hair trimmers on Amazon, some marketed specifically as body hair trimmers. But, honestly, any trimmer can be used as a body hair trimmer as long as it is maneuverable enough. That includes all the T-Blade trimmers and smaller head standard clippers.<br /><br />That said, if you're trimming body hair, life gets a lot easier if the trimmer is waterproof (so you can use it in the shower). Because trimming somewhere else inevitably results in a ton of hair getting everywhere.<br /><br />Well, until now. Someone decided to combine a medium-sized clipper with a small vacuum. The idea is that the vacuum will pull in the hair as it's cut. So the hair winds up in the device, not on your sink or floor. It's not a bad idea.<br /><br />In practice? I found that this clipper DEFINITELY pulled in most of the hair when I used it. But it's not the world's most powerful vacuum, and some still wound up on the sink (or floor). So, in the end, this will help keep things cleaner, but you'll still want to do some cleanup.<br /><br />In terms of functionality, you have one speed (on/off) and two speeds for the fan (low and high). Low seemed worthless--you'll definitely want to run it on high. As I mentioned, this is a lower power fan and you'll want all the power you can get.<br /><br />In the package you get:<br /><br />** Clipper/vacuum device with superior quality ceramic cutting blade<br />** Three clipper length guides (two of which are double-sided)<br />** A cleaning brush<br />** A USB charging cable (requires USB-A connection; connection on clipper is USB-C so you can use any USB-C charging cable you have)<br />** Cheap body sponge<br />** Cheap plastic hair cutting bib<br /><br />Honestly, I am of two minds about this. While the vacuum is nice, it doesn't catch all the hair. As a result, I would still be more inclined to step into the shower and run the clipper (where the stray hair can be washed down the drain). But if you are the kind of person who runs the clipper outside of the shower, even though the vacuum does not catch all the hair, it catches enough to reduce the clipped hair mess. So this might be the extra cost over a standard clipper.
