I bought this mainly for my bikini area. I live by the ocean and love to surf. I am allergic to wax and shaving caused red bumps and ingrown hairs like you wouldn't believe. I bought this mainly to solve that issue and because I liked the idea of going long periods of time without having to shave or do anything. It works sort of. I have treatment areas that really took care of the hair and then some where hair seemed to not be affected at all. I have light olive skin (no tan at the moment) and extremely dark hair, which should be perfect. So far, I am still having to shave but with no red bumps or ingrown hairs. I treat every two weeks as well. Hopefully it will start working better. I may have to set it higher. I currently run it on three, which is the middle. I guess the real take away is what you initially purchased the machine for. I did buy this with the hopes of getting rid of the red bump and ingrown hair problem. But I also wanted to shave less and not have to worry about whether or not I needed to shave before getting in my suit. Overall, I do like it though.

I can't believe anyone could be so inept as to think that they couldn't slice their bananas because they bent "the wrong way." All that person has to do is to buy the model 571C Banana Slicer that is for bananas that bend the other way. Although I prefer left-bending bananas, I got both the 571B and the 571C so that when shopping, I don't have to have the hassle of finding bananas with the correct polarity. I hope "Angle Was Wrong" sees the light and removes that harsh one-star rating for this indispensable product duo.
