The machine has a clean out cover on the bottom that includes a magnet to catch the debris. It only needs to be checked about once a year. The 1520 has newly designed advanced guides that are different than the guides on most other Chef's Choice Sharpeners. I highly recommend that you narrow the edge on American Knives with the 15 degree angle, then grind a micro bevel with the 20 degree angle, and finish with the polishing disc. This will make the knife stay extremely sharp with repeated sharpenings. You will probably only need to do this once. Try it on a lower cost small knife first to make sure you like the results.

Yes. You have to remove a plate on the bottom. As I remember a screw driver is needed. Hope this helps.

Like any cartridge razors or any razors come to think of it, you can rinse the hairs from the blades. There are no holes between blades, but there is an open space below the blades.

Do not press and drag the shaver. Pretend that you are shaving a balloon. The Norelco will do the job.

I shave in the tub, vacuum up with a handheld vac and then clean out with water the small hair that the vacuum didn't pick up. This doesn't help, its just a way to shave.

Yes. I have been very impressed with the shaves and when you use the cleaning system the inside of the razor looks factory new. I do brush the lose whiskers out each time I shave.

No. Don't buy this machine. It does not pick up strings, lint and hair from a carpet. Not worth the money. It will not work with a shag carpet.

Yes you can, but it does not perform well as a shaver no matter what you do or do not use.

Yes If the shaver is not fully charged, it does have a power cord to use while shaving. I highly recommend this product. I hope this helps you.

Yes Donna. The blades are within the housing that drops into the shaver head.Hope this helps.

Yes, the machine needs you to shave to work. No you can't use it more than recommended. You should only have to use it about 3 or so times on each part of your body.

I used it has a beard trimmer and to take off the few hairs that stick out of the top of my very bald head. It is the best machine I have ever used. It does knock off those few fine hairs at the top.

We now advise for people to try a different cleaning procedure. Removing the blades may be necessary for some people to thoroughly clean the inside, however we have learned its better to primarily clean the shaver head attachment by pulling it out from the shaver base to run warm water over the surface of the blades and then let it dry. This will wash the hair out without having to remove blades.

You can shave with the cord plugged in. There does not appear to be a way to replace the battery.

I didn't realized this yet. But I found out that the cleaning solution is working very well. The shaver is perfectly cleaned and although I'm cleaning very often it's still on a good level.

Yes...there is a tool that is suggested with it. Be VERY careful the Callous Remover is really strong. Works fantastically! just like the salons!!

Yes, but you can do it with a Dremel. Use a greasy rag to catch the shavings.
