MANGROOMERDo-It-Yourself Electric Back Hair Shaver Premium Replacement Head

Like many of the other posters, the replacement heads I bought did not fit my shaver. I emailed the company on a Saturday night, explaining that I had bought my shaver in June, 2008. By Sunday morning I received a reply from Mangroomer that my shaver was an older model and they would send me a free replacement if I gave them my address. By Sunday afternoon I had another email from the company saying the replacement had already been shipped. I had it less than a week later and they also threw in a free nose hair trimmer. It was a simple fix and the company was very responsive. I'm not sure why others have not had success in contacting the company or gone through the trouble of trying to put the new blades on the old head.

It's even worse than original. Blades are not sharp at all.

I ordered this new Premium Blade recently as my original has always been very rough on my skin and always left me with marks and bit me alot. This blade is way smoother on my skin and does not bite me now. Yes I could not fit the head to my mangroomer as some have complained about so what I did is take the spring mechanism out and the blade comes out, transfered it to my original head and no problems at all. The new head would not go on right which almost left me in disappointment but with some thought just take the blade out and move it to original head, works perfect. I see how the blade is improved by it not being as exposed to pinch the skin like before, they improved it by moving the actual cutters below the top metal teeth so no way it will pinch me anylonger or bite me. So if you can't fit this new head on your original Mangroomer don't worry just take that spring thing off and take the blade out of new head and move it to old head and there you go fixed and ready to cut your backhair very smoothly and with no marks anylonger. So yes this new blade system is a major improvement. I am still using my original Mangroomer that I have owed for over 3 years now and I use rechargeable batteries and the batteries last very long.IMPORTANT: Buy from Walmart the Shaver Saver spray lubricant in the shaver section and before each shave spray the blades and also after each shave spray the blades again while unit is on and your blades will last a very long time and will not have to be replaced for a very long time.

The item is awesome, it's like having a new mangroomer, since the original head was not working well anymore.... anyway, the only disappointing part was trying to install it. For some reason, the small tabs did not fit on the base the way the original head did. I don't know if mine was defective or what...I eventually had to carefully take the blade/cutting components off the replacement head, and put them into the original head, and then connect it back to the base. Now it works great, but I shouldn't have had to do any of that....Thats the only thing stopping this from being 5 stars.

I've owned a Mangroomer for several years and thought it was time to replace the head. Removing the old head was easy enough (nothing appeared to break) but I could not snap on the new replacement head. Just didn't fit. Now I can't even snap the old head back on. Struggled with with both heads for 15 min and tossed the whole thing. What poor design. The Mangroomer wasn't that great of a product anyways, I don't expect to buy another one. I'll email the company and see what happens, but I don't recommend this product at all.edit: I contacted the company via email and explained my frustration. They emailed me back, fairly quickly, and said that I owned an older model which was why the replacement head didn't fit. The offered to replace the old model at their expense. I sent in my info and got a new (current model) Mangroomer a few weeks later. I'm impressed.I'd have to give 5 stars for the company. I haven't used the replacement head yet - no need for another year probably, so I can't rate that. I do wish the description page on Amazon specified that the replacement head was for a new model and would not fit older models. I was wondering about that before I ordered, but there was nothing on the page and I couldn't even tell whether there were any newer versions of the base model. Stars off for the lack of information.

although I think you could buy a whole new unit for the price of just the head replacement.

Didn't realize that they made reply cutting heads for the man groomer. This worked perfectly and saved me from buying a whole new groomer. Definitely recommend.

I ordered this replacement head and it simply does not fit. I contacted Amazon and they sent me a replacement - same problem. The original head snaps on and off no problem, these new ones just aren't the right size. I looked inside my original and there's a #8, these new ones both have a #3 on the inside.I contacted Mangroomer directly and their customer service is pretty weak. First they put me on hold for 10 minutes, then when I called back I had to wait at least 5 minutes before anyone picked up. When I told the rep I had to call back because they left me in limbo he was silent and didn't apologize, nor did he apologize for the product not fitting. He took my info down; we'll see if anyone calls but I'm not optimistic.BTW, get the Razorba. It works, it's easy to use, and the only replacement part is putting in a new disposable shaver!
