    This video is as late 80’s as it gets lol. Glad to have seen two whole YTPs of this in the past decade! Also, you know you are confident in your product when you include an entire instructional video with the item.

      @@debk6161 I don't mean to be cheeky or provocative, but you don't really think they're sincere when trying to sell the efficacy and integrity of this product, do you? There's absolutely ZERO chance of getting a real, effective and consistent haircut with this product, as they advertise. ZERO!
      This product is a gimmick. The only profile of person who will get a cut as they claim is a person with short, straight and fine hair requiring a single uniform length of hair. If you bought this product expecting a variety of quick and wide-ranging style of cuts, you've been duped.

      How did your haircut go Deb? I've used mine for 28 years and have been extremely happy with it. Several years ago I considered buying a new set of blades for my original machine but decided to go with a whole new machine since my original machine was getting close to 20 years old. I recall all six spacers together will add up to about 6 in and you can start there. I'd be surprised if you didn't get a very quick cut from the start as it cuts clean and quickly. The blades don't pull your hair they just CUT your hair and cuts it fast! I've always been able to get the exact same cut in less than 5 minutes 3 minutes if I hurry up.. If I've gone over 5 minutes it's because it feels pretty good like getting a scalp massage. I remember all those years ago when they were sold on infomercials late night I was tempted to buy one when they were about 200 bucks then later they got down to about a hundred and should have bought one then but didn't. Years later I commented on a friend's hair cut and he said he used the Flowbee and that he got it at Walmart for 50 bucks. I immediately went that day and have been happy ever since. No appointment no waiting your turn no payment no tip no hair down your back. I love this thing. I hope yours has worked out for you.

      I can't blame you for thinking that way two dogs. But from experience I can tell you it's nothing like the way it's portrayed in Wayne's World pulling on Garth's hair! Hilarious yes but not accurate. This thing has been great for me all these years. I know exactly when I got my first machine because my son was in Little League at 12 years old and after practice I went and bought one. He'll be 40 in a few months so that makes 28 years since I've been using a Flowbee. I do realize that cutting it different lengths or with the taper attachment may not be as easy but I don't doubt that it would do a good job. I've always used a single length which makes it extremely fast and easy. I kept my hair a little longer in my younger days and now that I'm 65 it's a little shorter. Still a great haircut in 3 to 5 minutes even after all these years. Like you, I also answered Deb. Then I read your comment and I'd like you to read the one I sent her as well. I hope she had the success that I've had and I hope she answers back.

    I'm not sure why but there is something ASMR-like about the voices of the hosts & how they speak, both in how they pronounce certain words (like cut & remember) & their articulation. I'm not sure what it is but I've had this video playing in the background a few times while working on menial tasks & it seems to help me concentrate.
    So thanks Ms. Ellie for uploading this obscure infomercial.

    I just tried my first cut. It's a little short but actually not bad.
    I saved $20 plus a tip and a lot of time.
    I know next time what to do and will only get better. I like it.

      Yes. It's a straight and also angled spacer you can buy separately off their site for a super close cut, what barbers refer to as a number 1 or 2.

    Then I realized... that's *exactly* what was going on! 😅🥴😅
    Imagine using this, and the spacer assembly falls off while you're "bouncing it up and down", and then you accidentally mow it _right down to the scalp..._
    😲😧🥺
