Customer Reviews of Conair HGL1 Combination Hot Gel/Lather Machine, Black
Customer Review: Run Away, run away. (Comically Poor Design)
Summary: 1 Stars
What's not to like about hot shaving cream rubbed into your beard? With this bizarre contraption from Conair... plenty.
Firstly, what should frighten you away from purchasing this is that it has six controls on top of the damned thing. Six controls to do what one or two should do. Believe your eyes, because it only gets worse! Secondly, what you can't see, is a set of instructions that are so overwrought, and so edged out by disclaimers denying legal responsibility, that none of them are helpful. Thirdly, if you think the visible portion of the device is poor, wait till you see how you insert the can. Again the instructions (found in three different places) might as well be written in a different language for how poorly they describe the process of attaching a can of shaving cream. You pry the head off a can of shaving cream, you insert the bare nozzle, into the head and close an almost razor sharp collar around it. I guarantee you you wlll do it wrong and fill the collar with shaving cream. What could be more natural than sticking you finger into the cap to remove the excess lather that is now in the way? Well if you value your fingers, don't do it. Because wiggling your finger around too vigorously, is when you find out that the collar is rather sharp: ninetey percent chance you injure yourself.
Quantity of Foam per Button Press: If you succesfully overcome this device and get it to dispense, the gel nozzle produces an unsatisfying squirt-gun stream of hot shaving cream. The device can only heat up cream that has left the can and is in the Conair cap; a miniscule amount. An LED flashes at you to tell you that the tablespoon of shaving cream in your hand is all that you get until it can heat some more. That's good for five more minutes. If you leave the device plugged in, you are warned it's still a bathroom electrocution hazard (even if it's turned off!). The device makes your can top-heavy so Conair provides an enormous sleeve to put it in, and one imagines, to prevent the now electrified can from toppling into your sink, tub or toilet. Your reasonably sized can of shaving cream and is now the size of a quart of milk.
No wonder this thing only appears in stores around Christmas. Every choice this design makes is a dud, compounding problem after problem.
