3.0 out of 5 starsGood but not without flaws

First time owning a manscaped trimmer.it does the job,the foil produces a close shave bodily,the strimmer will get any long body hair down short enough so you can swap to the foil for a closer shave.the lawnmower 5 ultra is a handy size,the hears are easy to change over.the unit charges quick enough,with a wireless charge facility,or plug in and charge via usb etc,run time is pretty good before needing a recharge.the niggles I have are…..it’s smooth feel,which means it’s easy to loose grip,and the power button is too easily turned off by mistake as you grip it.found myself accidentally turning it off multiple times……but the most annoying part is that it’s let down by a truly flimsy foil and foil retaining system.the foil is very thin and easily damageable.the way it is held in place in the cutter block and head assembly is pretty weak.whilst using the unit the foil popped out on me twice,and trying to get it back in place again is tricky if you have fat fingers,or not great eyesight,reminds me of threading the eye of a needle.the way the foil is held in place is not secure enough,which has caused my foil to not only pop out while in use,but caused the foil to tear at the point where it attatches to the head unit.now I need a new foil,which you can only buy with the head unit(doesnt include the cutting block),the price is £24.00 to replace the foil (amazon).the lawnmower 5 ultra does the job well enough,but needs a better designed foil retaining system.the flimsy foil and the way it’s held in place stop it from being a five star product.I’ve used it about three times and already need the replacement foil.not brilliant I’m afraid.
