hate to say it but this actually works pretty well. Quite cheap and not great quality. But the side trim thing is good IF you don’t use the spacer attachments.
Got this a few months ago. A few $ more. Battery seems to hold up OK. Which is a surprise from a Meh product! One warning is that even though it has a USB-C charging port, only use it with a USB-A to -C cable from a standard 5V USB charger. A simple cable is included. It refused to charge from a proper smart USB-C charger and cable; I think it does not ‘speak’ the USB-C protocol for charging.
@pmarin That’s been my experience as well. I love this trimmer. I thought I had a bad one when it wouldn’t charge, but then I tried in a non-smart USB charger and it charged just fine.
@OutbackJon@pmarin yeah, the exact opposite of my S.O.'s pocket Canon monocular, which will only charge with a C-C cable and a PD-capable brick. (He mislaid the cable and brick that came with it once, and was very relieved to find that I had some kit that it was happy with.)
@pmarin Agreed, and I will go further and say that this product is far superior than the Panasonic body groomer of the same design. Panasonic was the first to come out with the wedge-shaped shaver head (which is critical for ease of use), but their version has cheap materials, a weak motor, and a terrible battery – honestly not what I expect from a company that makes excellent facial shavers.
This product is exactly the same design, but has better materials, better build, a better motor, and crucially, a better battery. Really my only problem with this product is the extremely juvenile branding. (I hate it when companies feel the need to lean into “dudebro” just because a product is aimed at men.)
@bugger@Trinityscrew Was going to say maybe it was “Meh Balls” but don’t want to unfairly critique anyone’s gonads, at least not without evidence of how Meh they are, and honestly would prefer not to view the evidence.
@bugger@pmarin@Trinityscrew I mean… aren’t all balls pretty meh? I… don’t think they are really part of the selling point. Or someone’s been lying to you
Ooh yeah, I’ll take a dedicated testicle groomer for $20. I’ve been trying to keep things trimmed a bit down there lately, and it would be nice to have a device that was actually designed for it.
@joeygambino@pyroguy7 That’s a Ballsy charging base and included USB charging cord, which had become hot enough in unattended use to melt the plastic on the plug. The smell became noticeable before the Stage Two Alert Smoke was released.
@joeygambino@pyroguy7@werehatrack I did not try the base – just charged it by plugging in directly to the unit. As I noted it seems to only want “dumb” 5V charging which may be up to 2+ A, so potentially 10W of cooking power. Doesn’t seem to like “smart” USB-C chargers which would likely detect problems – so hmm, yeah, 10W through a bad connection in the base could definitely start to cook it. But perfectly safe to use around your balls.
I bought this on meh in July. The head broke on the second use. Loose parts inside, doesn’t move the shaver head. I contacted Ballsy and they refused to help; said I should ask meh for a refund.
@unksol There is no manufacturer warranty. They suggested I buy a new (right angle) head. I’ve contemplated that because that’s the only part that broke. The rest works really well.
@pixelated@unksol@werehatrack Ears are turned away from you. That is not how a happy, relaxed, resting cat holds their ears. The photographer better watch out.
“Waterproof design,” but no IPX rating given. Has anybody used this in the shower? My current grooming regimen lets that hair wash down the drain, and I wouldn’t look forward to sweeping ball hair from the floor…
Total garbage. I bought it last time. Both heads disintegrated on the first use. They use the tiniest springs and plastics that snap under any load. It also loud as hell.
@bugger@ophirf15 These reports are starting to remind me of a shaver that Meh had once Shortly after the only time I saw it up for sale here, I got an unopened one in an IRK. So I opened it up, figuring that I could at least use the trimmer - and that feature exploded into bits on the floor as soon as I hit the slide to flip it open. The shaving head itself was reported as being desperately snaggy. The brand name on the package and the brand under which they were being sold elsewhere online in the US was different. Meh’s version had briefly been sold in Mexico, to glowing-crater reviews. It was so awful that I e-wasted it, the unit was too useless to inflict on Goodwill.

This deal is nuts!!
Is there an instructional video available?
Can this do labia?
@amillar7 judging by the last picture, no.
@amillar7 @pmarin At the very least, I don’t want to be the test case to find out. Besides, three days later, that unstoppable itch…
@amillar7 Yes. Once.
No way I am letting a blade near my nether regions. Bobbitt is a warning, not a hero.
@hchavers pu**y
@hchavers @unksol Putty is a good terminal program.
@blaineg @hchavers puTTY is great but more is better.
I need my superpuTTY.
Or some version of multitab/ multi section / multi machine manager
I think they’re was a missed innuendo opportunity with “2 heads. Better than one”.
Almost as exciting as tonight’s Republican “debate.”
@gertiestn now there’s an image I really want to un-see.
@gertiestn this is marketing for balls. There’s absolutely no connection
@gertiestn way to shoehorn politics into the discussion
Need something for my bare butt balls and back
@Lazarpandar Sir, you have given this machine it’s ultimate name. They should pay you for the rights.
Who would trust a discount discount ball trimmer sold on a MEH? I’ll stick it to my balls with my trusty rusty straight razor, thanks.
@scbysnax oh come on man. At least spring for a feather and some Taylor of old bond school and cut it off right

This thing is amazing meatballs is smooth as silk
@bugger I am really struggling to make sense of your post.
I want to laugh, but probably not for the reason you’d want me to laugh.
@Trinityscrew. Lol, auto correct Meatballs = Me Balls. So I think Laugh?
@bugger @Trinityscrew There’s a reason that my custom dictionary subs “autocorrupt” for any instance of the incorrect name.
@bugger @Trinityscrew @werehatrack idk I just read it with a Scottish accent. Punctuation is good.
@bugger @Trinityscrew Don’t blame auto correct for the proofreader’s faults.
@bugger @rpstrong @Trinityscrew if I were going to critique this exceptional piece of wordsmithing.
Is? Not are? Was there an accident? I mean technically the packaging being shaved is singular but the meatballs… should be plural .
Or you did A side by side?
@bugger @Trinityscrew Was going to say maybe it was “Meh Balls” but don’t want to unfairly critique anyone’s gonads, at least not without evidence of how Meh they are, and honestly would prefer not to view the evidence.
@bugger @pmarin @Trinityscrew I mean… aren’t all balls pretty meh? I… don’t think they are really part of the selling point. Or someone’s been lying to you
@Trinityscrew @unksol @werehatrack After I reread it, I thought the exact same thing
Ooh yeah, I’ll take a dedicated testicle groomer for $20. I’ve been trying to keep things trimmed a bit down there lately, and it would be nice to have a device that was actually designed for it.

@Dankk
My first thought was “Sean Connery” on SNL Jeopardy!
@joeygambino context?

@House ok MD house
What’s… what’s going on there?
I bought this on meh in July. The head broke on the second use. Loose parts inside, doesn’t move the shaver head. I contacted Ballsy and they refused to help; said I should ask meh for a refund.
@chrismusaf pretty Ballsy of them
@chrismusaf @pmarin but did meh resolve it? Or resolve the warranty with the manufacturer for this round?
@unksol There is no manufacturer warranty. They suggested I buy a new (right angle) head. I’ve contemplated that because that’s the only part that broke. The rest works really well.
@chrismusaf @unksol
Living up to their name, I see.
@chrismusaf I think despite the normal meh disclaimer I would ask customer service on that one. They are usually pretty accommodating
And obviously have more stock
@chrismusaf Clearly, “caveat emptor” applies here. (Ignore the red flags at your own risk.)
Real men use women’s hair removal cream.
@OnionSoup

/image hell naw
I thought it’s for shaving man parts?
I didn’t know you could use this to shave your pussy
cat?
@pixelated The expression on the cat’s face makes it clear that you will only be able to do so once.
@pixelated @werehatrack idk… if you imagine the fur back on…some might be resting face
@pixelated @unksol @werehatrack Ears are turned away from you. That is not how a happy, relaxed, resting cat holds their ears. The photographer better watch out.
“Can it make a Margarita”
I’m sick & tired of this question. Can it make a Manhattan? That’s the REAL question!
@B0R1S
Probably not… but it’s popular in Manhattan if that matters!
@B0R1S half the fun of drinking a Manhattan is making it.
Gotta change the name to The Vasectomizer 3000 XL.
I don’t know. For a smooth shave nothing beats a good ol’ straight razor.
@JamieB1966 Tweezers work better.
@JamieB1966 @yakkoTDI If you weren’t using Vice-Grips and a belt sander, or a propane torch, you weren’t serious anyway.
Nope. This one snags bad. Bloody mess
@benkool I hope you mean that in the British sense, not literally. 🫣
@lisagd an all American bloody mess
@benkool @lisagd
Ow!
Whoever bought three has a lot of balls.
@lisagd … but not for much longer…
@lisagd Or a really strange business.
I bought this and then the norelco. The Norelco wins hands down. This thing doesn’t work well at all with any of the spacer attachments on it.
“Waterproof design,” but no IPX rating given. Has anybody used this in the shower? My current grooming regimen lets that hair wash down the drain, and I wouldn’t look forward to sweeping ball hair from the floor…
@curtw4 I have used it once in the shower so far, and had no issues. Worked the same as the Panasonic that it replaced.
Total garbage. I bought it last time. Both heads disintegrated on the first use. They use the tiniest springs and plastics that snap under any load. It also loud as hell.
@ophirf15 wholly hell. What type of load are placing this razor on ye ball my man. No need to flex during grooming
@bugger

see that’s the problem. It wasn’t even that much. Barely touching any hair, the thing broke.

Gonna go from a 3 to a 4!
Nicked my balls once while shaving with a regular trimmer. So. Much. Blood. Never again! Excited to try this.
Golf course managers should install these next to the ball washers.
Not impressed. Bodygroomer much better and effective product. I’ve wasted my money. Don’t waste yours
@Amazingsloth2 You should probably report your experience to meh.com/support, then.
