I have my flowbee since 1990. I have not had ANY problems with the machine itself, still going strong. However, after all this time the spacers have been breaking. I like it so much that I am considering buyig another one just to get the spacers I need. After all this time the item still has MANY bids on eBay and it isn't cheap but it saves money in the long run. This item is Great.

I have been using a Flowbee to cut my husband and son's hair for over 6 years now. At least one haircut every 6-8 weeks for each of them. Flowbee still going strong. Only now the blades are getting weak. Trying to find replacement blades or will consider finding a shop to sharpen them...because we LOVE the Flowbee. It saves us LOTS of money!

I had a Robocut for about a year and a half. I cut my hair about every three months. I got sick and tired of the constant oiling and hair-pulling of the blades, and the sliding of the cutting guides. My hair ended up greasy, and I needed to rewash it. Recently, the blades stopped turning and I tried to figure out the problem. Nothing worked. I ended up tearing it apart and found that everything inside was worn or disintegrating. I had to throw it away. With some difficulty, I managed to get a satisfactory cut, most of the time. I am now considering trying a Flowbee, but the reviews are poor on this unit, as well. I cut my own hair for several reasons, one of which is because I just can't afford to go to the salon. Why doesn't somebody invent a better machine, at a reasonable price. Answer: If it's cheap and people have few choices, they will buy it and pay too much, to boot.

Bought a Flowbee in 2001 26 cuts a year for the last 6 years going strong... Did need to duct tape hose.
Bought a Robocut for daughter with long curly hair in 2005 In 2007 the motor burned out. The guide slide on its own... needed duct tape to stop guide sliding. Flowbee better for fine short hair precise cuts Robocut better for long and curly Both machines are ok for cheap machines that will need replacement or repair in a few years..... But for time savinga along and not being under the scissors of the latest Beauty school grad.. and the time to get there is worth the strange hassle.. report abuse
