I only just recently got this, and normally I wait a few weeks before reviewing a product, but I have to say that this exceeded my expectations and I am so happy with this product that I feel it's only right to just review it now. I used to buy a much cheaper (1/2 the price of this) wet/dry shaver, but I had to keep buying them on an every-other-month basis (at least) because they would die. They also gobbled up batteries. I was still fine with using them and budgeting for them because they were so cheap, but we are about to go on a much longer family beach vacation than we normally stay, and since my last cheapie electric razor just died, I really wanted to get something way more reliable (but not bust the bank). Plus, I was tired of buying batteries for something like this. I figured out quickly that I'm not saving much money if I am having to replace batteries often.
When using any kind of electric shaver as opposed to regular disposable razors, I always figure it's just a given that you're never going to get as close of a shave. For me, this is actually a good thing. I unfortunately grow coarse leg hair really fast - as in, right after using a nice, new (and expensive - I don't buy cheap ones), disposable razor head, by mid to end of day I already feel a little "stubbly". The double whammy for me is that if I use a razor too much (more than every few days), I get massive razor burn and ingrown hairs faster than the blink of an eye no matter how many different techniques I use (special shaving lotions, moisturizing shaving creams, exfoliation first, "shave with the grain then against technique", etc...trust me, I've tried it ALL!) to carefully shave. It's super frustrating. When getting a decently close shave but not SUPER close shave, I don't get the razor burn or ingrown hairs. Especially in areas I do NOT need that to happen. I could go on and on, but you get the idea. At 40 years old, I would have thought this part of my life would get a little easier. Nope.
Sorry for all the TMI, but if you are a woman who was unfortunate enough to inherit horrid, rapidly-growing coarse leg hair genes like me, I think you will appreciate this electric shaver like I do. The price is right, and if you have to do something similar to what I have to in order to make sure you don't feel like you are a freak with leg hair that seems to have a mind of its' own (aka, the "MUST-GROW-FAST-AND-FLAP-IN-WIND-ASAP" type), then this is honestly a really nice, happy medium. It gives the closest shave I ever had with an electric razor.
Extra bonus points? Straight out of the box, it was all charged up and ready to go. And..."Look, Ma! No Batteries!" Just charge it after shaving. No stupid charge cords, either. Plug the charger in, and stick the shaver onto the charger. Done.
I also comes with a handy little travel pouch. Another reviewer mentioned that you can't fit the charger and electric shaver into the pouch. Actually, you can. You just have to put the charger in first, then with (very light) maneuvering, you can throw your shaver in there too and pull up the drawstring. The little brush it comes with easily slides into it, too, which brings me to....
Cleaning? As far as I can see (and used), if you use that little brush to clean it out after shaving (which takes all of MAYBE 10 seconds?) it is super easy. I am impressed for the price. I shaved with it dry, straight out of the box (for at LEAST 10 minutes), and my hubs touched my leg and was...like, "Hey, baby. You feel nice." I think that is all the testimony I need, really. I dry shaved out of the box and my hubs was happy, and stuck it on the charger right after. Several hours later, it is working great.
I will update this review if something starts going downhill. I know it is probably too soon to tell whether this will be super reliable for a long period, but I honestly believe this will be fantastic for our upcoming beach vacay.
***UPDATE***
I have been using this for months, and it still works great! Very happy with the performance of this item, and it has more than paid for itself (compared to how I had to constantly buy batteries and a new cheapie electric shaver every so often before).

Easy to use
Just got this less than an hour ago and out of the box, it worked well. I dry shaved from the knee down on both legs with no issues. It took about 10 minutes total. As a few others have stated, you will not get a super smooth feel from this as would from a razor, at least not doing it dry, but it's good enough if you want to wear shorts. Hope it lasts a while!
