While it did not work for us...the truth is it is a good product for the money. Lots of little options and extra tools...

Does not feel as well built as my old 5000 series beard trimmer (plastics) but still provides great cut.

This product is just okay. It will get the job done however it takes going over the same spot a couple of time to get the hair to look right and uniform. Both my husband and son used it one has thick hair and the other not so thick and we had the same issues with both. I would have returned it but everyplace was sold out of hair trimmers due to covid.

Great for beards and hair. The horizontal knob keeps it from turning mid trim.

Design flaw leads to uneven cut (bald spots)

I had a Philips Norelco (QRG3360) for close to 8 years. For the past 5.5 years, I used it on a monthly basis to give myself a buzz cut. I was perfectly happy with it, but in the past 6-9 months the battery started to give way, and finally completely gave up.
After a good deal of research, I chose and purchased this Norelco 5000 just over a month ago. It seemed a great buy - and I was particularly happy being able to continue patronizing the Philips Norelco line, given my positive experience with my previous Norelco. Moreover, I expected the 5000 to last even longer, due to the Li-ion battery pack it has.
First time I used it, I felt it left a bit of a bald spot on my scalp. I was disappointed, but put it down to my usage (perhaps I pressed down too hard?). I chose to give it another try.
Second time I used it (just a week ago) - the experience was even worse. Couple of bald spots, and just overall a really hard time getting an even cut. I feel it's due to the fairly large gap in the comb attachment. When cutting around curves, its quite easy to for the blades to get too close to the hair through this gap.
I see a similar review now on Amazon, so I know I'm not the only one who's faced this issue.
I returned the Norelco to BestBuy today. I never return products, and pride myself on buying the best, and sticking with my purchases. So this really was a disappointing experience for me.
Not sure where to go from here....I would still prefer to stick with the Norelco line, but this experience has got me wary.
