I received this as a prize at a golf tournament several years ago. I've only used it once and have been storing it at home. I've confirmed that it works. I think it's convenient for grooming as well. Recommended for children and the elderly. Please consider this item if you understand that it is a used product. Since there will be shipping costs, I can offer a lower price if you don't need the outer box, so please comment if you'd like that.
