I just opened up this little gem. It's great. However, the Phillips head is not in any way magnetic. Anyone else have this problem?

Best knife for the size I love mine it is very handy as long as I remember to keep it in my pocket.

Funny, we didn't realize it was supposed to be magnetic but tested it and it is ! Kind of cool!

That's a good Q. I wondered the same. Even if it is a bit magnetized, I don't think it should make any difference. How about turning it around regularly ?? Or flip it over ....?? Stev

From my research, it appears that the new product that Norelco has started selling, and that everyone hates, is made of plastic rather than metal and results in a much less smooth shave. I haven't purchased my replacement head yet as I'm still trying to decide what to buy but am leaning towards the more expensive, older version just based on everyone's comments. You should be able to find the expensive, older model for probably ½ this price, even on Amazon.

caught this post a minute ago...I just got my bigmouth back hair shaver in the mail Friday and i couldn't agree more. Looks like this is a fairly new back shaver but definitely hits the problem head on.

Susan your post is perfect for the problem we are having with our new pony...however I have tried everything to unzip the head and nothing will undo the locked zipped. I've tried a screw driver and everything. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am so disappointed. This is the only thing daughter wants for christmas and at the price I had to pay we can't exactly just go buy another horse. Any advice anyone can give for getting the head off would be very helpful!!!! Thanks.

This is a response to my last answer to your question , although mine stopped working I manage to get it to work with a thin Phillips head screw driver , seems there was too much pressure for the kernels to grind, once I loosened them up a bit, it began to grind away..Empty out the kernels and at the very bottom you will see three screws, if you decide to buy, and you get into the same problem, you will know what to do ...I hope that helps

I did not have that problem with mine, There was a little bit left on it but it just rubbed off with my thumb. sorry no more help.

Lol!!!! I just found out. Been searching the internet with same problem. I'm usually good with these things so I was quite frustrated not being able to figure it out, almost broke the darn thing trying to use a small screwdriver as someone had suggested. Anyway the answer is.... (drumroll please) It is AUTO-tilt; so once its been completely opened, continuing to crank the mechanism (I know scary, I was worried I'd break it) actually starts working the tilt mechanism!

I have no idea. But if I were shopping a video head now and I had money to burn, I'd definitely take a look at what Really Right Stuff has produced. I have several of their ball heads and they are nothing but quality. Pricey, but fantastic.

Yes, Jarred I have had the same problem. I'm listening to a song and detecting minor fluctuations in the pitch of the music. Strange because the strobe indicates that the platter is rotating at a consistent speed, but there is no denying the fluctuations. Maybe the record is sliding around a bit and not making firm contact with the turntable? Not sure. Anyway it's getting annoying and I'm starting to think we got a lemon. Will be persuing this with Pyle.

The head is a single unit. They do not make separate foils and cutters for the series 3 models. So, yes, it probably is just you, although I suppose it's possible that you got one of the biggest manufacturing defects in the history of Braun products. Hard to believe that, though.

I bought a cheap set of screwdrivers which have the special head, and a "spluge"?! for prying it off. My son is the whiz in the family, and had no problems doing the replacement (other than he preferred a different color than I bought).

You probably have a defective model - maybe the base prop is too short. You should consider swapping it out - Phillips is pretty good about backing their product for 3 years.

Do you mind if I ask you a question about the Canon Pixma 990? It just arrived this morning, and I can't get the printhead assembly to set correctly. The printhead lock lever comes down on the printhead assembly itself, meaning I need to move the assembly further into the printer... but it won't budge. To add to that, now I can't even get the assembly back out.Steve W se.webb@att.net

Once that happens its pretty much garbage. Thats what happened to mine. I unscrewed all the screws which some are star screws not regular philips or flat head. I checked the belt cleaned the rod that makes the belt spin cause their was a bunch of stuffed wrapper around it. But when it came time to putting it back together it would not go. The chord and switch would not set properly to close it all back up. I just threw mine away from many other reviewers they are know for this problem.

I noticed that too! Just received mine today from Amazon, and the pitch control is MISSING. Just a blank there. The pics on ION's website and Amazon do clearly show it. Is this a mistake?
