Awful design that makes it impossible to shave soft areas. Flimsy, cheap build quality. There isn't a single good reason to buy this shaver, so save your money and buy a different one.

get what you pay for – why such negative comments? I have used mine on and off for three years and it does what i expect for a $40 shaver. Pack it in your bag or car to get a clean up when needed. If you want it for daily use spend more! Show details

Basically doesn't shave – This basically doesn't shave. A patch of stubble that a razor would get through in a second or less takes a couple of minutes, literally, of back and forward and even then it's uneven and not very short. And your skin is as roughed-up as it would be using a razor without suds. Total waste of money. Show details

Absolutely completely useless – This product does not function at all in the slightest, and upon inspecting the 'blades' you can see that this product never could function. Does not cut any hair, at BEST will pull a hair out and make you bleed, which is all it managed to do for me Show details

Only suitable for short, newly grown moustache – As it is a foil type razor, it cannot cut anything longer than 0.2cm. Only suitable for short, newly grown moustache. It does the job in this regard. Runs on 2 AA batteries, so you don't need to worry about the charger. Show details

Good shave when you don't have power – For the price gives a good close shave, probably would not use as an every day shaver but good for travelling as battery powered, I have had mine for around five years and use it for touch ups and it works fine.

Absolutely crap – This is the worst thing I have ever used. It doesn't work at all!! Would not recommend at all bloody hell a butter knife probably works better.!!!! No wonder it only costs $10

Ok for $10 but not great – Bought this on sale $10, had one a few years ago and that model worked great however bought the new one and it does not seem to work as well as the previous models, it shaves but often I have some short hair still left so to fix this I would have to use my shaver to clean up what the M30 cannot! Overall for $10 not bad but I would not buy again UNLESS the one I bought as defective?

worst thing ever – Cut my moustache area really well, then proceeded to not really cut anything else, other than my skin. had to finish with blade, still bleeding 30 mins later. Am now sore, and don't want to go in public. Do not buy

Great value for Shaver – Great value for a travel shaver. It works for daily shavers - NOT for those who doesn't shave on a consistent basis. Works very well for me but as far as I understand it does not do well for stubborn beards for some

Bad – So far I have been shaving for 30 mins. Maybe half way there. Currently travelling at the moment and don't have another option. Avoid buying this thing at all costs.

Doesn't work – Wish I had read reviews prior to buying this piece of crap. Does not work in the slightest. Absolutely terrible! Do not buy this product! Will be demanding a refund.

A shaver that doesn't shave – In spite of having read all the negative comments here on this product, I decided to buy this shaver due to its nice design and more importantly, incredibly cheap price tag. Serves me right. It doesn't shave much at all. The mechanic of the device is pretty simple. It relies on the vibration of an build-in razor to cut hair. The problem is that… Read more

the porous metallic cover that rests over the razor only allows very thin hair through (a bit like threading a string through the eye of a needle). Hence the average bearded individuals would probably find it absolutely useless at removing their face hair. I even tried cautiously running the razor over my skin without the metallic cover attached, and guess what... it didn't remove much of the hair either. Shouldn't such a dysfunctional product be removed from shelves?

Abismal, terrible shaver – Cracked her open, fit in my hand nicely! Flicked it on; didn't take a singular hair off of my face, so I tried again; AND IT CUT ME. What a stupid contraption. Avoid this thing guys!

Worked fine for a year or so but – Then the flimsy battery cover latch broke rendering it useless. Happened twice now, won't be replacing it with another which is a shame as it was handy until it broke. Also the foil is over half the price of a new shaver.

Great one to keep in the office for a quick touch up if you're late in to work or an evening meeting – I keep this one in the top drawer at the office for the odd occasion I'm running late to work or have a late afternoon or evening meeting. Used it a number of times and works as good as an old school electric shaver....does the job, battery lasts, compact & convenient. Sometimes I rinse it out in the sink. I do not use this every day.....not as good as the newer top end shavers. Very good for what it is.

Absolutely useless – If I rubbed my face with my hand it would be more effective at removing hair than this rubbish. It's like s toy for a child that pretends to do what daddy does. It vibrates and makes all the noises but cuts no hair. Avoid at all costs!

Cheap and good – Bought mine a few years ago. I use it occasionally when I need a quick shave instead of lathering and using my regular blade. Works well both dry and wet. I am getting the replacement foil now after a few years of use. I don't have much facial hair and not so coarse. So maybe the bad reviews are from people with heavy facial hair growth.

Dangerous. Don't buy – Less than 4 months of use two or three times a week the edge of the foil mesh broke. An undetectable piece of foil protruded which I found out from the sharp pain and blood in the sink.

Useless - Did not shave a single hair but took some skin off – This foil razor is useless compared to the awesome little men's Phillips I bought with 2 round heads - Did not shave a single hair but took some skin off. Blades rotate too fast I think. Good case design and price but wonder how it got past the testing stage. Ladies do not buy this.

This the most useless item since the waterproof teabag – I bought this year's ago, was kind of hungover and it was on special. First attempts to use this I blamed on not really having great stubble or facial hair being too long. I even excused it's performance due to being used to using a blade. Then I read the reviews. You would have more luck using an orbital sander on your face and over a period of time have less discomfort. Never buying Braun again.

Super Awesome – Good little device which travels well. Used every day or second day to maintain shaved head for six months before foil wore through. Shaves stubble as smooth as a blade. Alright for face stubble, not so good on the neck as it requires a grain to go against. Can't find anywhere that still stocks it.

Doesn't work – No idea how this is expected to cut hair anywhere, doesn't work at all. The blades are neither sharp nor targeted.

Awful – It doesn't even work at all. It doesn't work anywhere. Not on arms, neck, face, or chest....at all. It looks and sounds like a good electric shaver. That's it. This is my first negative review of anything online. That's how much this product sucks.

Braun MobileShave M30: As affective as rubbing your face with an orange – Braun have quite a reputation to uphold. They have been in my mind as one of, if not THE leading shaver manufacturers. When I took this vibrating pez dispenser known as the M30 for a spin, I was astonished! It literally did not shave a single hair upon my face. I may as well have rubbed a stone on my face and made three wishes. I'm curious… Read more

how this product even made it past the testing process. Maybe all the testers were so clean shaven after testing Braun's other products they just assumed this one would work. The product was not faulty either. My brother bought one at the same time and It was just as, if not worse than mine. All it gave him was a rash and a sweeping feeling of disappointment.

If you're an actor or a director and you need a prop shaver that sounds like it is shaving but doesn't actually affect your actors skin in the slightest. Look no further! Sleek design, feels good in your hand, perfect for travelling, perfect for stage props or independent film makers. It doesn't work. Not at all, I mean. It's almost astounding they would mess up a product this badly.

Not what expected – Bought it yesterday and tried this morning in the shower, used shaving gel as was recommended. Still prickly. Well i knew its not going to be sensational, since its only 20 bucks, but its cordless and waterproof, i tought maybe its better and more comfortable to use when traveling than the regular razors, but the razors will give smoother finish… Read more

definately. I guess you can still use it whilst traveling, it should take the very bad looking away :) but yeah.. well i will try tomorrow just on the washed face, not in the shower and without a gel, lets see what happens. Nice and small, smart features.
