MANGROOMER - PROFESSIONAL Do-It-Yourself Electric Back Hair Shaver

I hardly ever take the time to review items on Amazon but am so pleased with this that I wanted to come on and give this a good writeup. I thought for sure this would just be something that I would order, try it, have it fail, and I'd send it back for a refund but this actually did an amazing job! It has been one week since my initial use and I haven't had a single breakout in my skin since using it! I was very skeptical after reading some of the reviews. I thought maybe this would just "comb" my hair and not do much cutting. I thought that even if it did cut, it wouldn't be a very close shave and would leave a lot of visible stubble that would still need to be "Bicked off". I did make several passes across my back (from my shower I wasn't so close to my mirror so it was hard to see if I was getting it all) and I thought that with each pass, I was sure to have my skin break out in pimples and in-grown hairs. After I was finished with it and showered it all off, I was absolutely amazed to see how close of a shave it truly gave me. I had no visible stubble whatsoever and it looked like I had "Bicked" by back. It even felt MUCH smoother than I was expecting. I agree with another reviewer that it would be nice if the arm extended to a full, straight, 180 degrees as at times it seemed a little tricky with the angle but it wasn't so bad that I'd knock any stars off of my rating. One or two reviews I read had me concerned about the battery life of this unit and the battery failing to hold a charge. Even though the AA battery version of this unit is highly rated, I didn't want to dump a bunch of money into putting batteries into this all the time and the lower amount of power that units like that often have so I decided to go with this rechargeable version. On that note, the instructions do leave me a little puzzled. It says that before using, you should give the unit an initial charge of 18-24 hours and that subsequent charges will take far less time. It also says however, that when the unit is completely charged, the charging light will turn green. After about an hour into charging this the light had already turned green. I would've liked the instructions to specify if this is normal and if I should just continue with the recommended initial 18-24 hour charging. I decided to follow the instructions and gave it an initial charge of about 20 hours before my first use. I'll update this later if the battery dies on me as it seems to have done for one or two other reviewers. As of now however, the power wasn't lacking and lasted great without any drop-off in power at all during my first use and a couple of subsequent touch-ups. I even decided to use this on my sideburns as the sideburn clippers on my electric razor don't work that well and this did a great job of giving me one clean, straight cut. I recently took up cycling and fell in love with the sport as it helped me lose a lot of weight and it feels great to get out on the road. I also started to shave my legs to avoid being the harriest cyclist on the road. Using a gillette Pro-Glide Fusion does a great job of giving me a close shave from just above my knees and down and does the same above that but the skin on my upper legs/thighs is very sensitive and I was always breaking out. Using the same razor on my back, great shave but I usually break out at least a little and I have to have my wife do the bulk of the work. With this, I can do it all on my own and have almost as good of a shave on my back anyway. I decided to try this on my legs. Just due to the contours of the knee and shins, etc. it really isn't a good solution for the lower leg as the blade on this is far too wide but this was exactly what I have been looking for for my thighs. It did a great job of giving me a very close shave and I haven't had any of the skin breakouts that I've had in the past. I had tried using some of those clippers from Wahl that a lot of barbers use and they basically just combed the hair on my back and legs, not to mention that they don't have a long handle like the Mangroomer. This unit really does a GREAT job of giving a close shave without irritation and without the need to enlist the help of my wife! Honestly, she was skeptical but was more than happy to have me try something that she wouldn't need to use for me. I was pleasantly surprised and cannot recommend this highly enough!!! If I do have battery power trouble down the road, I'll be back to let you all know.

I used it twice with pretty decent results but I had an issue with maintaining the flat head attached to the body. On the third use the head came off and could never be reassembled. Perhaps I am thinking about another product but I seem to recall that the product came with an insert setting forth that an extended warranty was included with it at no extra cost. Do any of you have the information. Maybe it is time to return the razor. Thanks. +++++UPDATE+++++ February 4, 2015 The very next day following my review, the MANGROOMER directly contacted me. The purpose of the email was to express their own disappointment in my poor experience. They actually seemed to care about this customer; with the number of 4 and 5 star reviews I guess they could have easily ignored me, not to mention that I was bringing the problem to their attention years later. By way of some other reviews regarding the head falling off, I think there is either an intermittent manufacturing problem that does occur from time to time OR their instructional manual may be deficient in instructing how to reinstall the head. I have no way of knowing which is the case, however, I have never seen a response as positive as theirs making me whole again. In fact, after writing my review of the Professional model I saw they had an Ultimate model which I know seems to be similar in design based on reviews. But there were hundreds of reviewers running 4 to 5 stars so I BOUGHT THEIR NEWER ULTIMATE MODEL. It was the next day that they offered me a complete replacement of the Professional! Since I already ordered the Ultimate, instead of replacement I asked for a few supplies for the Ultimate as there was no sense in having two new shavers. It may have been only hours later when they went even above and beyond my request. When I receive the Ultimate along with the accessories I requested plus an extra one that I did not request, I will review the Ultimate. I guess no manufactured item off the line is always perfect, but all you can ask for is a manufacturer like this that is responsive making it essentially a no hassle experience. As an early user of the Internet, and a very frequent online consumer, I would like to give a shout out to our new form of marketing and communication. Without the Internet this transaction would never have happened in the way described. There would be only a one customer marketing advantage to doing the right thing (or, more than right). The only problem is that some sellers still don't take advantage of its power and rue the day that a consumer had easy means of complaining and doing so on a big soap box. Sellers have and will eventually learn that actions such as these by Mangroomer (e.g., and selling sneakers with a prepaid return bag) will buy them lifelong customers that will greatly exceed the profit loss on the one unit of replaced. Thanks, Mangroomer. Charles M. Levy, Esq.

First the good: Actually a great designed handle. Is easy to adjust and will reach all areas with little practice. Seems to hold a decent charge as well. Now the bad: The trimmer head doesn’t work at all. Won’t even trim my arm hairs. Highly disappointed as this product was marketed well. Trust me, I’m 53 years old and know how to use a trimmer, that’s not the problem. No matter what I try it refuses to trim hair anywhere, especially on my back. Total waste of money. The two star rating is for the design of the handle which is fabulous. They just wasted a great handle on an inferior trimmer head. UPDATE: After submitting my review on Mangroomer Trimmer above I was almost immediately contacted by the company about my issues. They were extremely helpful and wanted me to be satisfied with my purchase. They provided some instructions on possible problems that might have occurred in shipping. Unfortunately I was unable to resolve the problem. Mangroomer has offered to replace my trimmer at no cost to me!! This is a company that will stand behind their products and make sure you are satisfied. I’m now going to upgrade to a four star review just for the customer service experience. I will update again on use of trimmer once replaced. Update #2. All Is Well Received my new MANGROOMER Pro Trimmer today. Company wasted no time sending me a new one. Immediately opened the box and, even though it was not charged, I had to see if worked. This trimmer worked as advertised. No problems. Got it charging up full now. I’m just going to say that the one I received first must have been fluke. It happens. So, trust me, If it happens to you, MANGROOMER will make it right!!!

It works great.

Permet de se raser le dos bien plus facilement qu'avec une tondeuse classique.

Me funciono muy bien

This is a very cool product actually. Did the job for me. you have to be really careful to keep the blade straight when using this product with a mirror for your back. A little tricky at first but gives a really close shave. I am (was) pretty hairy and today is about 2 weeks since I used it for the first time and there is just a stubble coming back so it lasts. I have done waxing as well and this is much preferable. My wife and daughter did not want to help with my other shaver, so this is the price to pay for a DIY project!

Erg lage kwaliteit. Voelt goedkoop en kwetsbaar aan. Ik ben een krachtsporter van 1.83 en 95 kilo en de greep is voor mij te kort om overal goed bij te kunnen.
