So far so good!! Used it right away because it was already charged and ready to go. It comes with a charging cord, so no batteries needed. Still has a charge after I have used on three items. Came with two extra blades. It has an easily removable door to empty out the lint, and a tiny brush to help clean out behind the shaver head. I had immediate results on a toss pillow which now looks great. It worked on my sweaters, but that was a longer process, because I keep buying those soft polyester sweaters that as soon as you wear them, start pilling and look old. So I still give five stars because that material is horrible. It is loud, but not so loud that you can't sit and watch TV while you use. :)
