Review (1/5): Worthless: Parts Fall Off While Shaving
Edit: The poor engineering issue has gotten worse. I'm now spending more time dealing with misaligned parts & literally parts that fall off during shaving. 0 Stars if I could.
Original Review:
This is likely going to be the strangest review I've ever written.
Out of the box, the Runwe gives a tremendous shave; possibly the best I've ever had from an Electric.
One thing that is unique: They strongly suggest shaving before moisturizing (i.e. before showering) & to do so 100% dry.
Then the problems begin (& seemingly never end).
This unit is difficult to clean, & almost impossible to reassemble. I've done so twice. The first time took about 10 minutes to reassemble, the second time took over 25 minutes, & another 10-15 minutes the next day to fix the imperfections from the night before & I still don't have it 100% correct!
The owner's manual is not helpful to say the least. It is very small & in numerous languages. The only actual (& usable) photographs are in the Russian section! There are miniature graphic gray boxes that convey the important information. Unfortunately, they are so small that they are unreadable even with a magnifying glass!
I have found this unit (almost??) impossible to reassemble after cleaning (which it needs pretty frequently). I was hoping to continue using it until it becomes so dirty as to be worthless (I don't have time for the the 10-40 minute reassemble after cleaning).
Another issue is it's difficult to close the unit correctly so it will work. If the lid is closed too softly, the unit doesn't run. Too hard, & it's very noisy. With each shave (I am used to opening the top of an electric after every shaving & blowing/shaking the hair out) it takes several minutes to get the unit working again.
It's really a shame in that the Runwe gives a great shave, but is impossible to maintain. And this is being written at around 1 week of us. It's only going to get worse. I'd suggest they pull this product off the market, keep the great shaving heads & re engineer all removable parts & clamps.
Made in China (surprise!!)
