This Groomer is LEGIT
To preface, I'll start by saying I'm a large, hairy individual. I'm not talking wispy hair, either. My adulthood has consisted of being called colorful names like Chewbacca and Cheeseburger Chest, for what it's worth. I've used Panasonic groomers for the better part of the last 15 years - first buying a $30 model that I used for everything, then an $80 model after I read it's best to have individual models for face and body. I actually came looking for a Norelco groomer because my experience with both Panasonics had been mundane. They did the job in large part, but I never raved about either of them. I'd seen this one win GQ's grooming product of the year for 2019, but wasn't terribly interested due to my previous Panasonic experience and the rather unique design. However, I saw this on sale for $20 off, and decided to give it a shot. This thing is AWESOME. The razor area feels like it might be a tad smaller than a traditional groomer, so I did make more passes than normal. But from the beginning it actually worked spectacularly! It cuts my chest and stomach evenly, and I didn't have to go back and redo any areas that seemed missed originally. More importantly, no hair jammed up in the blade or the guards. People with coarse hair know that the hair jammed in the blade won't come out easily whether it be with a brush or with water. This was one of my pet peeves with all other groomers and shavers I've owned, but this was CLEAN. Excited, I decided to take it "downstairs" to try on the apple bag. I still suffer PTSD from an unfortunate and painful incident 3 years ago when my first Panasonic groomer "got hungry" and took a big bite of satchel, causing me serious discomfort for about a week. Using the closest (standard) guard, this thing handled that delicate area like a champ! I haven't tested everything yet, like shower usage, etc., but it doesn't matter. Based on what I've seen on Day 1, I'm so glad I bought this! And getting it on sale makes it even that much better. Thank you, Panasonic and Best Buy...HIGHLY recommended!

Great Product!
This does very well across the entire body and the charge holds up. I don't like that the light doesn't show when it's fully charged. It always stays red. Other than that it's definitely worth the price!

As good as advertised
This is a great trimmer, very easy to use, and shaves close in delicate areas. The design is very well thought out and not too cumbersome to use.

Nice trimmer
I got this on sale for about half off, so I couldn't pass it up. I'm very pleased with it. I have a Port-A-Cath in my chest and I keep the hair trimmed around it so the tegaderm doesn't give me a waxing every week. This works great for that. I have another shaver for my head, but this one is easier to use, lighter and the teeth are finer. It does a great job of getting close without irritating my skin, or my port area, which is most important.
