Question Do you own a Flow-bee?

I was wondering about this great early 90's device, and yup my mind wanters into some really random things at times (as most of you are already aware of that fact).

I just want to know if anyone has one, and if so, how does it work, does it actually work, and do you actually use it? And other fun things.

I thought the Flow Bee came out in the 80's? I guess it was late 80's early 90's. Basically it was a vacuum. You suck the hair up into it and there were clippers inside the attachment on the hose and they would cut the hair. You could adjust them to cut at certain lengths. I dont think you could do more than a bowl cut with that thing LOL

holy crap! i totally forgot about flow bees. what a dumb invention!!!

anybody remember trapper keepers? those were so late 80s / early 90s that it's painfully funny.

oooo, what about LA Gear. those shoes were "all the rage."

one thing i loved about the 80s was the fashion. it was so gaudy and over the top, but at the same time it was accepted!

I remember those...I think I was wearing my Kangaroos at the time - you know one of the first pair of tennis shoes that sported not only velcro, but also a zipper on the side so you can put practically nothing inside....I might have been able to fold a dollar enough times to use the pocket.
I see they still sell them, but have done away with most of the velcro ones.

Is it just me or does a Flow Bee look like the Suck Cut from Wayne's World? "It sucks as it cuts!......It certainly does suck " I had a trapper keeper(may still have it too). I love 80s music. I like 80s fashion too for some reason. And I still love original Nintendo. I guess since I was a child of the 80s and didn't really take advantage of it then, I am now.

Nope never had a flow-bee, 80's music is okay, and I was the man on Duck Hunt!
