This trimmer comes loaded with accessories! At first you're ecstatic about all the new attachments, but then you quickly come to realize you've got nowhere to store all these random pieces. It comes with a stand which you can use to hold a couple of the pieces and the trimmer itself for charging, but your spouse will most likely relegate you to the doghouse if you choose to clutter up the bathroom counter with this massive trimmer stand/charger and all of it's accessories.
Overall the trimmer is fantastic. It's got a nice heft to it and seems as though it will stand up to a few good years of use. So far it's motor is just powerful enough to cut through coarse, thick hair without bottoming out. It seems to charge up pretty quickly and I managed to get a few trims out of a single charge. It's a little on the loud side and no one really seems to have mastered the art of making a trimmer that won't blow out your eardrums when you use the ear trimmer attachment.
I like the magnetic attachments. It makes it very easy to switch off the different cutting pieces. There's not a tremendous amount of thinking involved as they only fit on in one way and the magnet helps it glide on easy.
I knocked off a star because I felt it was a bad move on their part to provide a micro-usb vs usb-c charger. Practically every device these days is coming with usb-c as the default powering/charging connector. There's no practical reason for them to have gone with micro-usb other than having a massive warehouse full of the connectors they wanted to get rid of. Had they opted for usb-c you would easily be able to take a phone charger or other device along with you and power up your trimmer, shaver, laptop, phone...without having to worry about carrying around a dozen different cords.
Overall, I like the trimmer and I would recommend it to others in the market for a new trimmer.

Trimmer works great. Love all the easy to attach shavers and trimmer heads. Nose and ear trimmer works better than any other ones I’ve tried. Highly recommend.

First thing I noticed when I took this out of the package is how solid it is. The trimmers I've had in the past were light and felt flimsy and cheap. This definitely feels better built. I like the fact that it has multiple heads that are very easy to swap out. I'll be using the beard trimmer the most, and that comes with different length guards. I prefer these single length guards as there is no chance of them self adjusting on you. - whoops, bald spot! I've only had it about a week but the battery life will be fine, it hasn't dropped in charge at all yet. The stand that comes with it keeps the trimmer charged up and extra heads handy, neat and organized. When running the trimmer is surprisingly quiet. A couple downsides I've noticed are the power switch is on the bottom end and a bit awkward to turn on and off. A button up top would have been nicer. And the shaving head attachment isn't for guys with thick coarse beard hair. The holes are too small, making shaving painful. It just pulls on the hair. If you have fine hairs, it would work. Other than that I am pleased with this groomer and am happy with it.

I have terrible patchy hair growth and have been shaving my head for almost 20 years now. I’ve gone through a lot of trimmers and so far I’ve been the most happy with these.
The trimmer comes with a lot of different comb attachments for varying hair lengths. I never use these and prefer to shave down to stubble and keep it short since it grows in irregularly. This is my only complaint, as there are a lot of little plastic attachments and no easy way to store them. Some kind of included pouch or something would be nice.
As far as performance, though, these are fantastic. The blades are good and sharp and shave my hair down to stubble easily without pulling. Also, unlike some trimmers I’ve used in the past, this does a good job of shaving evenly on the first try so I don’t need to go back over it again the second time.
Battery life is very good and I’m sure this would last an entire trip on one charge. Again, this is where an included case would be appreciated.
I love the charging base! The trimmer docks and undocks easily without hanging to hold down the base. It also includes spaces for each of the extra trimmer heads which can be used on beards or ear/nose hair. The nose hair trimmer works well, but not as well as a dedicated trimmer. I don’t really have a reason to trim a beard. I tried to use the shaver attachment on my face in general but found it doesn’t do as well as my Philips OneBlade.
The star of the show, however is the eyebrow attachment. I’m not ashamed to admit I have eyebrow problems. At some point in my life hair stopped growing on my head and shifted to my brows. They get really bushy and I usually have to trim them down with a tiny comb and scissors or I look like a Muppet. The eyebrow trimmer attachment works perfectly and keeps them the perfect length. I’ve tried using trimmer attachments in the past with terrible results, so I was really happy this worked so well.
The overall look and feel are very premium. Nothing feels like plastic and the trimmer has a nice heft to it. The charging light is a nice touch. My only, very minor, complaint is that the power switch is a little difficult to work, especially with damp hands.
Overall, I would buy these for the eyebrow trimmer alone, but love the way it shaves my head, too

This shaver is a good quality for the money and seems like it will hold up well. I've always had the cheaper shavers and they work but not smoothly and need replaced every few years. This is the first more expensive one I've used and honestly the difference in feel and quality was apparent from when I first picked it up.
The unit is much heavier than what I'm used to but not a problem once you get used to it. I'm guessing this is mostly because the battery has to be much larger to get the 4 hour run time. It also charges way faster than my old cheaper shaver.
The magnetic system for heads is great. They just pop on and off and the system feels like it will hold up well over time. The heads themselves operate very smoothly and cut precisely. Being completely waterproof also makes it easy to clean and use anywhere.
The charging stand that also holds the extra magnetic heads is a nice bonus. If you have a place to leave it plugged in it would be an easy setup that you'll never have to give a second thought.
My only thing I feel was left out was there is no way to store the guides nicely. They just come loose in the case. I currently have them in a Ziploc but it would be nicer if they gave a stand that attached to the base to hold them. In the end I only use 2 or 3 different guards to trim so it's not a deal breaker, but I feel like it's something they could do to just make it over the top.
Overall I like this shaver and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade.

Full Review:
Let’s get this out of the way, I hate looking like Sasquatch's long lost brother. I’m not a Neanderthal running around the woods needing a coat of fur to keep me warm or tell me when I have a tick crawling on me. So, clipping all the fur has been a grooming maintenance ritual for years.
Unboxing: Pretty standard, everything nicely packed in cardboard. I like cardboard, I can just toss it all in the recycle bin, except in this case I’m glad I kept the box. Read on to find out why.
The battery had a partial charge when it arrived so the first step was to put it on the charger. Why no usb C port? This should be the standard on all usb devices.
The box and ad call this a “metal groomer”, which is half true. The body of the clipper is metal, but all the attachments appear to be just chrome plated plastic. The clipper has some heft to it, and a slick body, so when using it in the shower it can be slippery and easy to drop.
The package comes with a usb charging stand that holds and charges the clipper, and holds the different heads. This is probably a great idea for someone that uses the clipper every day and doesn’t mind it sitting out on the counter, but then where do you store all the comb guides? Myself, I’d prefer a case of some sort to toss it all in. My solution, it’ll end up back in the cardboard box until the next time I need it and the charging stand will never be used..
Battery life is good, lasting through the entire de-sasquatching session and still showing full charge. I love the adjustable eyebrow guide, zip zip, done, caterpillars are gone no worries about scalping. The foil shaver gives a close shave, I might have to try the foil type for my normal shaver. The nose hair attachment also works great.
Conclusion:
Clipper works great overall. Wish it had some type of texture to help hold it while wet. Wish it had UCB C, and I wish it had a simple case/bag to throw it all in for storage instead of the stand. If I could do half stars I’d give it 4.5, but will round it up to 5 stars.
