I was skeptical at first, but as a hairy lady who hates to shave, I had to try it. I'm glad I did! My only regret is that I did not purchase the larger nood and only got the smaller one cause I wasn't sure if it was worth the cost. It IS worth it! It takes about an hour to do one leg, and I do it while watching TV at night. Since I'm zoned into the TV you can see spots where I usually miss. I'm glad I accidentally missed these spots because it shows just how effective this machine is. The spots I get to, are almost hairless; the spots I missed show my typical hair growth. HUGE difference! I've been using this for about 5 weeks. I think in a few more weeks I will only have to do maintenance and will barely have to shave ever again. LOVE IT!!!!!
