Product Description
The built-in automatic air flow means that you do not have to do a lot: drag-out your household vacuum, struggle to connect the hose, plug the vacuum in the outlet, plug the haircutter in the outlet, turn-on the vacuum, turn-on the haircutter, turn-off the haircutter, turn-off the vacuum always in that sequence as you do the haircut. Instead, simply plug-in only one electric cord and turn on only the haircutter switch. You are already doing the haircut and you do not have to mind the vacuum! The airflow and the clippings collection start and stop automatically. Never change bags, the high-tech filter requires to just tap the hair out every 20 or 30 haircuts. It is the ultimate convenience.

Customer Reviews
robocut vs flowbee
I have owned both a flowbee and a robocut and both systems work as advertised. There is no need to get the little mini-vacuum since any vacuum with a hose works just fine.
The flowbee lasted for over ten years of use. For a number of years I used it not only on my own hair but on my dog, a Spitz with very thick fur. The summers here in Atlanta were brutal for Nikki until I started using the flowbee on him to customize the length of his fur to match the seasons. At first I needed help keeping him calm and still with the noise of the cutter and the vacuum, but after a while I could easily do it all by myself. This saved many hundreds of dollars compared to taking him to a commercial place, it allowed more gradual trimming as the seasons progressed, and I believe it was also less traumatic for him.
The flowbee finally broke beyond repair and my next purchase was a robocut which was ten dollars less expensive at the time. The robocut has a sliding adjustment for the length of the cut as opposed to the flowbee's plastic spacers of different lengths. This is a bit easier to use than the flowbee's spacers but either way you have to pay attention to the cut length during the process of cutting. The robocut seems to be able to trim just a bit closer than the flowbee, but in part this is because the flowbee has a larger exposed cutting area than the robocut.
The robocut worked fine at first but developed cracks in the main body where the spinning cutters are and now, in only about two years, the robocut cracked completely apart during a haircut and is trash.
Bottom line. Both the robocut and the flowbee work as advertised. You can cut your own hair with no help in a matter of minutes. They cut the hair nice and even just like a professional cut. My personal experience is that the flowbee lasted through about TEN TIMES the amount of hair cutting as the robocut. My next purchase will be the flowbee.
Great hair-cutter, but it is NOT the "Automatic" model with air speed control.
This is a great hair cutter, however it isn't the "Automatic" model with air speed control as listed. That model comes in a different box with a vacuum. It is the vacuum that has air speed control. This is the regular model and this price is not a discount as the model listed and the seller's name implies. I notified the seller but the listing has not been corrected.
The hair-cutter cuts clean and evenly and works very well. The rotary blades and more adjustable height made me choose this over the Flow-bee. I am happy with the purchase because I researched, and knew what I was getting as opposed to what is advertised. I chose Amazon because Robocut's web site did not appear to have secure credit card transactions like Amazon.
not quite as good as the flowbee
I had a flowbee for years but the plastic they use(used?) for the square tubes was crap and broke easily. In fact it was still working when I retired it and bought the robocut, I just didn't have any more tubes. I bought the robocut because the tube design was far superior. Unfortunately it takes 2 to 3 times as long to cut and it seems to cut twice the length of the tube setting for some reason. It also slows down while cutting many times. It doesn't come with an adapter to make it fit the vacuum hose so I am constantly playing with that every time I use it. I use an Oreck vacuum but it seems like it doesn't suck enough to get this thing to cut well and it isn't a weak vacuum. I am buying another flowbee now and retiring the robocut, I hope it is made a little better than the last one.
