MicroTouch Solo Reviews

Being a black man I can't use razors, I break out and get hair bumps. Once I used this solo trimmer I was hooked on it. Smooth, quite, precise. Whenever I do find one or two left in the stores I buy them and give them to friends, Not one complaint yet!

Length of Use: 1–2 years

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It quit working even after a lengthy charge. It couldn't hold a charge. The red light stopped. I purchased new blades and it still would not work.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I just now finished using the device, which the battery lasted all of 3 minutes, and that's being generous. This device is simply trash. Whoever is responsible for the marketing of this device should be brought up on criminal charges. Theft by deceit is a crime and that's exactly what has happened in this case of the "Throw Me In The Trash Solo." There wasn't a bit of truth about this product from the very start, the people behind this ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Honestly, wish I could've given zero stars!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

If I could have given it no stars, it would fully deserve no stars. When I bought this, they claimed to be the closest shaver you can get and they reeled me in by thinking it would be faster. The battery didn't last and neither did the motor. Everything seemed to lock up and slow down. I got a replacement from the company after waiting months to get it, but it just did the same thing and I went back to the straight razor.

If you want to waste money and like to see your hard-earned money swirl round and round in a toilet and go down, then you'd like this. It's far from being the best unless it's being the best piece of junk. All I can say is don't waste your time on this Solo. I wish I hadn't!

Length of Use: 6–12 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It was advertised to be superior to using the shave cream method. My son only uses it for trimming his beard. It doesn't charge for very long. The head pivots real flimsy. Shipping costs the most and takes 8-10 weeks. I read product reviews from customers before any purchase now.

Length of Use: 1–2 years

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I purchased this product thinking it was a great item. I have had issues with it since my purchase. This razor at times will not shut off and you have to let the charge run out to turn it off. I also have issues when it does recharge - the razor will not turn on at all. Today happens to be that day. It just will not work. I called customer care and spoke with Brian who stated the product is under warranty for 30 days, and wouldn't you know, it stopped working after that 30-day period. This is a horrible product and the company does not stand behind what they sell. Please, please, please don't spend your hard-earned money on this, continue to buy the type of razors you have for years. MicroTouch Solo is a piece of crap.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The clip came off when I trimmed my mustache and damaged my mustache hair to a bald spot. This happened to me twice.

It's a piece of junk made in China. Don't recommend it!

The clip doesn't stay on to the trimmer. It falls off!

My old Wahl clipper works better than this junk.

I wasted my $19.99 plus shipping on this product that stinks! I would give no stars for this horrible product! I'm very sorry I bought this.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I purchased a Solo shaver at Walmart probably 3 months ago. I thought the shave was OK although not quite as close as I expected from the advertisements. I do not use the shaver every day so after about three months I had to recharge the shaver for about the third time but the battery would not charge. I am disappointed that the shaver did not last any longer than 2 charging cycles.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Would have taken it back to the store but I destroyed the packaging. Glad I got it on sale for $11. I did try it on the cord, which is short. Didn’t cut very well.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It's the worst electronic I have ever purchased online. I didn't get the value of my money, just after using it once it blacked out.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I bought this after seeing a TV ad and without checking out reviews - wished I had. It doesn't even remove stubble.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not good. Never buy this razor. You will waste your time and money. Only lasted for 60 days and the warranty is only for 30 days. Believe me. it is not like they presented. Customer Service knows that this razor is a basic one and can be good for only a couple of months.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Used a couple of times when the head broke. I purchased new heads (which were not cheap). Now won't recharge. Waste of money!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

As my title says, junk! It wouldn't even shave stubble off my face the first time I used it, never mind trying to cut in any shape. Another scam to screw the public. Probably it is somewhat the consumer's fault too for thinking that you get anything of quality for 20.00 bucks because you don't.

Anyone that reads these reviews, don't give it a second thought, don't buy this junk!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

I ordered from their official site. Received confirmation and a tracking number.

It didn't arrive when it was supposed to. When I used the tracking number, it didn't exist. The shipper couldn't find it.

I contacted them. Weeks later they said that it would be shipped again. I accepted their proposal.

The next day they said by the terms of their warranty, they are sending me a refund, but didn't include what they charged me for shipping and handling. This is BS.

I emailed them and demanded a full refund including shipping and handling. Still have not received the shipping and handling.

From what I see, they never shipped it. Guess it's a good scam, a little less than $10 for doing nothing but sending automated emails. Either they are crooks or someone dropped the ball.

Too bad. It looked like it may have been a good product.

I only gave it a 1 because zero wasn't an option.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I was extremely happy when I first received it. Performed as advertised.

The battery didn't stay charged after owning it for only 6 months.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The MicroTouch® Solo™ electric shaver is a defective piece of crap. The grooming attachments, which are the most important parts of the device, are fragile worthless pieces of plastic that will easily break, and customer service is unapologetically ZERO, which they could easily correct by just answering the phones and replacing their defective and broken grooming attachments by mail. And on top of it all, they have a surprise virtual NO warranty and want $6 PLUS S&H to send it back to them. What a huge disappointment. What a scam. Unless they support their product and offer to make good, don't even bother with this product MicroTouch® Solo™.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Worst product I have ever seen, really a complete joke. Would not even begin to cut my beard. This thing is a toy for Barbi dolls or something, just a true piece of crap. I could not be more disappointed. Returning it on Monday.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

What a piece of crap this is, and they want $20 for it. It didn't work from the get-go, what a waste of money. Could have gone to Vegas and placed a bet. Worst piece I've ever ordered online. I think all online stuff is crap.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I bought this razor to see if it would help me not use shaving cream and disposable blades. Stick with the blades, this is one of the worst products I have ever bought. It does not cut crap, bringing back to CVS for a refund. Stay away from this piece of crap.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I ordered replacement blades that don't fit the trim heads that came with the razor. If I knew that would happen I wouldn't have bought the replacement heads but on a positive note, the razor itself works great but I wish the trim heads fit the new heads.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

After 8 months of limited use, my razor has no power. I called Solo customer service and they said I only had a 30-day guarantee. I would not recommend this razor to anyone based on my experience. I purchase in June 2019.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

All of the previously stated problems are very accurate. Please, do yourself a favor and read reviews of those of us who have purchased/used this poorly manufactured product. It is cheaply made and does not trim/cut well. Save your good money for a better product. You have been warned.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Disappointed and, call the cops! I've been robbed! I want my money back. It doesn't shave close, doesn't trim my mustache to my lip, what micro cut? The only good thing is the light, but it blinds me and I can't see what I'm not shaving. German steel? So what! I hope they go broke, and if they have any investors I hope they all lose their money.

Then I read other reviews after and I also would not recommend this to anyone. If I send it back I also have to pay for shipping so they got you going and coming.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Disappointing and maddening. Stopped working after two days, would not hold a charge after it stopped working. Quality control is pitiful. You're better off with a battery-powered trimmer for your dog, it'll give you a much better beard trim and won't fail!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I am happy to write a review! For one it is not what the commercial says it does, fake, and once again a product from China. Does not trim, does not edge, and does not shave. Perhaps if you have peach fuzz it would work. I am a man who has more than my fair share of facial and body hair. This product cannot trim my beard but pulls and hurts. It does not shave without it pulling my hair. Does not trim without pulling my hair. This product is a total fraudulent item, and I don't understand why men are falling for it, I did. It is all fake, fake, fake. I want my money back! I seriously think we all should team up and stop this novelty item from being sold.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Works great while it works, which is not for long. I lost the charger to the first one, so I bought another unit. Both units have failed and I'm back to square one hunting a razor. It's only twenty dollars but I thought they would last a bit longer. Spend the extra money to buy a better product.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
