Works beutifully, has the roller for wimps and once you get used to it, makes life oh so easy. I actually bought this for my younger daughter, the eldest has already been using one sporadically for a couple of years. I have been using one for twenty years and as a result the hair on my legs is barely visible even when I skip a month(!) - and I'm a brunette so the hair is black, just grows reeeeaally thin now. I've stuck with the Braun as they seem to last forever. Recommend it!
