Great little product - exceeded expectations!, 14 Dec. 2009

I bought this expecting it to be nothing more than functional. I was expecting a short battery life, not very powerful, just enough to decide whether I wanted to push the boat out and buy a professional one.

Having lived with it for a couple of weeks, I really love it and have no need to buy a more expensive one now.

It does exactly what it says in the description (so I won't go into its features any more than to say the battery life is perfectly acceptable, only had to charge it once so far and I'm using it most days, and the power is absolutely fine - a lot more than I was expecting).

The only criticism is the slightly fiddly attachments and display stand it comes with.

If you're anything like me, you'll have one standard attachment you use - so that can just be left on the trimmer; but the stand it comes with is practically unuseable. Yes, I suppose it is possible to spend 2/3 minutes stacking all the bits into the little display stand,...

Great value for money - from designer stubble to full beards, 8 Sept. 2007

First let me say that this trimmer isn't just for those with beards or moustaches. I personally prefer the stubble look and this trimmer does a great job of maintaining it. The trimmer comes with a 6-position attachment guide which clips onto the blade and by sliding the attachment forward or backward lets you set the correct length for your trim. It ranges from position 1, 'stubble length' (2 mm) to position 6, 'long' (12 mm). As I like to keep my facial hair short I've never needed to use this beyond position 1 and it works great. For those looking for that stubble effect, set the attachment to position 1 and shave as you would with a normal razor. Gives you that 2-3 day stubble look. Those looking to style and shape your beard or moustache the trimmer does come with instructions explaining how to do so. Since purchasing this trimmer I haven't needed to use my razor, which is great because let's face it, shaving can be a hassle - shave clean, wait for the stubble to grow, shave...

Does an excellent job., 16 Jan. 2006

I get ingrowing hair if I use a shaver or a razor because they cut too close. I needed a trimmer that can cut close, but not as close as a shaver. I use this trimmer and remove all the guards and this gives me the perfect cut without being too close as to give me problems with ingrowing hairs.I must have used it about 20 times so far and that's still on the initial charge. There's not much else to it really. The comb attachments look like they are well made and fit well.Highly recommended.
