Review (1/5): Is there a score lower than a 1?
i read the reviews before i bought - i wish someone had detailed it out why it is worthless - so here is why:
1. the directions lead you to believe the battery is installed, it is not. It says to pop open with coin, well it took a screw driver because only 1 corner would pop with the coin no matter how hard i tried. then after i unwrapped the fully plastic covered off name battery i tested it on my tester i own, and it was dead. so i used my own good battery. it only uses a 9V battery.
2. it says you may want a magnifying mirror, well unless you have super human eyes you WILL. i have very good vision and i could barely see the electrode wire, which is thinner than a human hair.
3. holding the stylus, wand, pen whatever you want to call it with 2 finger tips which must me moistened (wet) on the silver band which is an inch back from the tip and having the control to slide this thin little wire which is moving around on its own inside the pen tip is nearly impossible.
4. once you finally get control of it and you think you are sliding it into the follicle, you are NOT!!! it is like a magician knife, the little wire is really just pushing back into the machine!!!! i was wondering why i was not feeling it inside the skin or feeling the tingle and why if i moved it around i did not see it pulling the follicle the way the follicle would pull if i grabbed the hair and pulled it around...so i investigated a but and found that the wire pushed back into the pen when it encountered ANY resistance - even just blowing on it would push it back in!!!!
5. i pop the pen apart like it says to replace the wire and i find the wire does not sit into anything there is nothing behind it keeping it in place it is just loosely laying in a hole.
6. randomly the machine would emit an ear piercing screaming beeping/buzzing noise. the first time i nearly dropped the machine because i thought it was about to explode or something! it did it several more times randomly, even when turned to the 0/off position!!! i read the whole book there is NO description of a noise it should or should not make...but nothing should make that noise if working properly.
SO in conclusion, the included battery was dead, the wire is loose and retracts itself without the ability to push into a pore, and even when turned off it randomly emits an ear piercing shriek for unknown reasons.
I removed the good battery put the dead battery in the slot and returned this item. do not waste your money or time on this cheap made in china paperweight.
