Review (3/5): Great Concept -- Needs Reworking
I fought with myself on rating because it could have easily been a five star, but there are a couple of deal breakers with me on this product.
First let me say that I like the product. My face feels smoother after using it. It comes in a nice container that holds all of the attachments.
Now -- in my humble opinion here the things that the manufacturer needs to do to improve the usability of it:
1) Make it waterproof so that I can use it in the shower! This thing makes a huge mess on your counter. I don't care if you submerge your entire head in your sink with your nose in the drain, water will splatter everywhere. This makes me not want to use it because of the clean up necessary afterwards.
2) Make an ON/OFF switch that is separate. Currently, there is one switch and it goes from slow to fast to off. Personally, I would have removed the fast altogether which would make the on/off switch unnecessary, but having to switch from slow to fast to off while having it on your face to avoid water splatter is a pain.
3) Make the instruction booklet better. There are no pictures of the battery compartment. There are no notations on the unit that I can see that even give you a hint of where the batteries are which made it difficult to know where to start on putting the batteries in. If you made the unit waterproof and allowed for them to be recharged with electricity, the unit would be awesome because you could use it in the shower where you expect water and soap to splatter.
