You know conair used to be a trusted name, no more. We were gifted a conair glow facial brush. When we plugged the product in it just beeped( looked up complaints on the computer) and the cause is a malfunctioning battery. So, since the product wes dead and we couldn't return I thought I would take a look inside. What powers this item is basically 2 AAA batteries tapped together? Why couldn't the company put in 2 AAA rechargeable batteries and make it consumer replaceable? It seems to me this would be a very easy solution to their problem if they cared about their repetition, which they apparently don't. I will never buy another conair product. User's recommendation: Do not buy conair products.
