Mine is near death.
First, I am incredibly proud of myself for noticing this before I attempted to trim my pubic hair this afternoon. I am not walking around with half my hair trimmed and the other half curly. This pleases me.
Second, I will be wanting to replace it. I know others can, but I've never been able to trim myself evenly with scissors. I have this, and while there are things I like about it, there are things that make me think I'd rather try a different trimmer this time.
I liked:
What was not so hot:
ETA: I went to Target today and ended up with this because it was cordless, well reviewed on Amazon, and nine bucks.
If I'm going to be wrong, I'd rather be wrong for $9 than for $20 or $30.

I liked:
1) It was reasonably long lasting. I'm just about at the 2 year mark with it, and I have to admit -- I took pretty horrendous care of it along the way. I have no doubts that my lack of care substantially contributed to its demise, and frankly, I'm a little surprised it's lasted this long.
2) The angled head is about fourteen different kinds of awesome. This is the first trimmer I've had where it's actually been easy for me to trim the "sides" of things -- the insides and outsides of my labia majora, my inner thighs, etc. -- without having to contort either my pelvis or my wrist into uncomfortable positions.
What was not so hot:
1) I feel like it has a hard a hard time trimming thicker hair. I'm averagely hairy, but this trimmer tugs at and gets tangled in the hair on my mons pubis pretty much every time I use it, even when the hair is already pretty short. If I can avoid that in the future, that is, well, better.Favorite trimmers, anyone?
2) It's hard to turn on. Specifically, I think the head and the main device aren't correctly aligned. So sometimes, when the main device is switched on and the motor is running, the actual trimming blades aren't doing any kind of vibrating. Because of this, sometimes it takes 5 or 6 tries to turn on, which is a little on the annoying side.
