For once, can you not get what you see in the pic?
|Posted .Stupidest cost cutting I've ever seen!!! Can't even include a cord for the charging base (as it is pictured with a cord) - they think you can just plug this in straight into a plug? Good luck! The GFCI outlet in my bathroom is older and does not support the weight of this at all -- falls out. Why is it that photos and the actual product do not add up anymore? Bought this on sale and used a $5 reward certificate - so I kind of feel like I got what I paid for. I'd really be livid if I had paid full price. Wasted time and trip to purchase. More wasted time and another trip to return. OMG.

Great Beard Trimmer!
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:For beards, LengthBest trimmer I've used thus far. I love the part of not hunting and changing different parts out. The adjustable length and "comb" is all you need. Very smooth. Be sure to read the instructions! Adjustable beard trimming length allows for a rather long beard is so desired. I would have given it 5 stars however the charger is a bit weird. No cord so must be plugged directly into socket and razor sits in charger. Don't really like having a huge mess sitting on the wall and would rather position the charger and razor where I want versus it all stuck on the wall. . Additionally the charging light remains red when razor is in charger. Does not change colors like to green etc when it's fully charged so it's a guessing game. Despite this I highly recommend this razor as it does as advertised an does it very well. *Cord in pic goes to something else plugged in below the razor...

Good performance with a small bite
|Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This is a good, solidly built unit that works as you would expect. It runs quietly and cuts smoothly usually on the first pass. The charging unit fits the rear end of the clipper like a holster and works well. Now for the small bite. The cutting unit has fine teeth, so it's possible to use too much hand speed when trimming which will cause it to catch a few too many hairs and pull slightly. The adjustable hair rake on the front end has a maxim adjustment of 10mm which is a little less than 7/16 inch. This is a little short for my preferred beard length. The last thing I'll mention is the points on the hair rake could have used a little more rounding as it digs in to the skin a little when held too vertical to the cutting surface. On the whole, a good solid unit that's easy to disassemble and blow clean.

Excellent trimmer!
|Posted .Owned for 8 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I was iffy about getting this trimmer at first because of negative reviews I'd seen, but this has been a great trimmer. I've had it for around 9 months & it's still great,its very quiet, & has pretty much any length you'd need. My only con for this device is that it takes it like 20hrs to fully charge once its dead,but its not something you use everyday so I kinda plan for when it needs to be charged;I guess you could leave it on the charger all the time if you wanted.

does what it needs to do; weird charger
|Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I only got this because the adjustable comb on my previous Panasonic trimmer broke. This one is basically the same, except its charger plugs directly into the wall instead of via a cord. While this reduces clutter on the countertop, it does mean that the trimmer has to be perched awkwardly on top of its charger while charging.

Good
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Overall, it’s good. I like the range of setting. It’s durable and cuts with ease. It does not slip or fail. The charger sits sideways in horizontal outlets without a way to turn the mount and it’s difficult to clean.
