“The blade broke from the arm mid cut on my head. Which caused me to have to go to salon and pay for haircut to fix. the grey arm part was brittle and old. So hopefully with a new blade it wouldnt do that but considering I just bought the device and it only comes with the 1 for free I cant say for sure that it wouldnt happen again. But i personally wont buy more just cause of the experience I had. ”
