Flowbee Haircutting System with 1 Extra Set of 10 Piece Spacers Set | Self Haircut Trimmer to Cut Your own Hair at Home | Flowbee Hair Cutting Machine | Mini Vac Sold Separately

Works great but you need to spend time looking at the book to learn how to use it. My hair

I was skeptical at first but once I did a bit of research on youtube I took the plunge and bought a unit with extra attachments. Given what I currently pay for hair cuts I only have to use the flowbee 5 times to pay for the unit. The first time i cut my own hair using the flowbee resulted in a better haircut than my usual barber. I was tempted give the "ease of use" rating 4 instead of 5 stars but then realized it was just my own inexperience and that after a few haircuts I'd be an expert, so 5/5. My family mocked me for using the flowbee, now they all want to borrow it. My only regret is I didn't buy my flowbee 20 years ago, i would have saved a fortune.

I tried cutting my hair with the Flowbee connected to my Eureka upright vacuum cleaner. The yellow flexible rubber sleeve that comes with the Flowbee is very hard to fit over my vacuum cleaners attachment, it will only fit so far and leaves about 2" between the vacuum attachment and the Flowbee. When I turn on the power to both the Flowbee and the vacuum cleaner the vacuum only lasts a couple of seconds before the yellow sleeve collapses flat stopping the vacuum. UPDATE: Since the yellow flexible rubber sleeve would not work with my vacuum cleaner, I decided to buy a shop-vac at my local Walmart and use the shop-vac attachment that comes with the Flowbee (I needed a Shop-vac anyway). Boy what a difference. I cut my hair with the Flowbee in about 3 minutes. So, I am changing my 1 star to 4 stars. Also, this version of the Flowbee system comes with an EXTRA 10 pc clear plastic spacers set. So you get the Flowbee, 12v adapter, blade oil, yellow flexible rubber sleeve, shop-vac hard plastic adapter and 2 sets of 10 pc plastic spacers. So, I decided to keep my Flowbee Haircutting System.

My wife, who has long hair bought this for herself. Now I have to cut her hair before she uses it. She likes to vary her hair length seasonally, so 1/2" at a time would take forever going from winter to summer. The product is not advertised with a limit for the length of hair it will cut.We're disappointed that it is so limited in its capabilities. We paid $260 for something that is less functional than many much cheaper products.

I’m so happy that I invested in the Flowbee. Giving myself a haircut is fast and easier than most could imagine. Of course, I love it when I can get the haircut that I want when I want without the hassle. But we all know that this doesn’t always happen even with our favorite barber. Now I can give myself a quick and easy haircut even if I have some unplanned special event coming up on the same day. There is no mess to clean up afterwards! It takes only minutes. I save a lot of time, and in the long run, I know that I’ll save money.

I had and still do an original and this one has a cheaper hose that has already kinked on me.

***Update: it worked great for a few times, and i've oiled the blades as normal, but since then it would only give me split ends, and I mean 100%. It literally looked like i had salt and pepper hair everywhere on my head, because as i discovered, split ends appear white! Haven't used my flowbee for 3 yrs since then but going to give it another try as i have to test my theory whether a stronger vacuum will prevent this issue. TBC***5 stars as it does what it is engineered to do. However, I'd add one safety note:1. If you have an upright vacuum and use its flexible hose with the flowbee, make sure to keep the vacuum off of carpet. As I am but a vacuum novice, there was one time when...after 20 minutes of operation (and vacuuming that one spot of carpet), the roller on the vacuum overheated so much that the plastic undercarriage melted into a gnarly piece with smoke fumes everywhere.Other than that, the flowbee cuts to my style, 2-4 inches, just fine when cutting cleanly washed and dry hair as per the manual.
