So far I have always bought cheap hair trimmer. So whatever you had to shave a couple of times on the same spot until all the hair was gone. For longer hair, such as the head, the shaving has thus designed tedious - not with the 1411! Go through your hair as through soft butter, a place once shaved and all the hair is gone. Powerful motor and sharp blades, the device fits comfortably in your hand and is, compared to the previously used lower priced units, and fairly quiet. I was skeptical at first, whether it is worthwhile for the casual home use to buy an expensive device - it does it! Very strong buy recommendation.
