The MicroForce shaver works somewhat ok. Not the best I've ever had. BUT ---
The offer I responded to offered buy a shaver at $19.99 + $6.99 shipping and handling = total of $26.98.
But wait that's not all! If you order now, we'll include this special kit that includes two nail clippers, shoehorn, clothing brush, etc. etc, etc. at NO EXTRA CHARGE; you only pay shipping and handling. Now, from my calculation, that adds another $6.99 to the first $6.99 and $19.99 for a total of $33.97.
What I got was a charge of $26.98 for the first item, and a second charge of $45.28 for the special offer that was advertised for only shipping and handling. The kit also included another shaver!
When I called and explained my confusion, the party I spoke with was less than helpful. I had to explain three times, and almost beg for information about how to get a refund. All she wanted to talk about was, You can keep the kit as our gift to you (some gift - $45.28!!), just return the shaver, and we'll refund you the purchase price of $19.99. No shipping, no handling, no taxes.
AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR MY $19.99 REFUND!!
The way I see it, this scamming outfit made $52.27 off this sucker. Doesn't take too many like me to make these people rich.
DON'T YOU BE CAUGHT TOO!!

MicroForce Shaver is Junk
AUTHOR: MadConsumer - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, April 29, 2010
I also Just purchased the microforce shaver from there own website. It only cost $10 and was only supposed to charge a $5.95 shipping charge. They actually charged me $12.95 more that the shaver it self. On there website no where does it show or say that this shaver uses Triple A batteries. It says it comes with rechargeable batteries. Well not mine. I called there customer support number, and was told only the deluxe model comes with the rechargeable batteries and that model only cost $7.00 more. So instead I have to spend a lot more than that on batteries now.
