One of the most iconic gadgets of the 1980s has become the must-have item of 2020. The Flowbee, the iconic vacuum haircutting system that uses suction to spin an internal blade that snips your hair and sucks the cut pieces into your vacuum has sold out, according to the Flowbee's website. So why is everyone desperate to get their hands on a self-haircutter? It's all because of the COVID-19 pandemic. When non-essential businesses shut down earlier this year, Google searches for "Flowbee" surged, and the product found itself an essential grooming item. The Flowbee can cut hair lengths from .5-inch to 6 inches long at .25-inch increments. You can also buy attachments to cut longer hair and according to testimonials, the device works as well as the marketing claims say it does. Reviewers say it works just as well as some professional stylists, and cleanup is super easy. One of Flowbee's biggest fans is none other than George Clooney, who's been using the system for years and says his haircuts take just two minutes. The Flowbee website notes that out of stock items usually come back within weeks of selling out, so you can check back to see when the haircutter will become available again. Price3s range from $55 to $140.
