Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just received my third Flowbee. I have used this product for almost 18 years. It has worked great and I have saved myself a ton of money. I am also picky about how my hair is cut. My chief complaint is how cheaply they are built now. I have all three flowbees side by side. The earliest model is black and built like a tank. It was made in the "good ole" US of A. The second one has a yellow head with the word Flowbee on it. It still works well but over time the blades get dull and the spacers break fairly easily. The parts apparently were made elsewhere but it was assembled in this country. The latest version came recently in the mail. What a disappointment! It still has a yellow head but there is no writing on it. Everything about it is cheap! Even the cardboard box it came in is thinner and less sturdy. The covering on the handle is shrunk-wrapped plastic. It is made entirely in China. Avoid this model if possible. Buy the second model that comes in a box without a picture on it if it is available. Hopefully the manufacturer will read this message and think about returning the quality to this otherwise fine and innovative product.
