[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I feel this product is great. It does the job and has a long lasting battery. Only negative is the foil attachment breaks to easily.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit replaces an older one which had seen many years of good service but needed replacing. I love all of the attachments which included an eyebrow trimmer that works perfectly. The unit is extremely quiet and the quality of its build will give me years of good service
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does what I need it to do. Trims beard. Use #4 head. Nice and tidy. Have had for 2 months and still going on first charge
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like everything no downsides everything about the products works as it’s described all of the materials feel high end and good quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this groomer for several months. It is very good quality and does an excellent job of grooming
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was easy to use once I figured out how to snap on and snap off the attachments. Even cleaning out the blade itself is easy, again, after figuring it out. There are plenty of snap-on attachments that give you great control over how short you want to trim your hair, ranging from "very close indeed" to "long enough." The battery keeps its charge for a long time, and the device itself is nicely balanced in your hand. It is way more precise than my previous trimmer, which took some getting used to, but thankfully my hair grew out quickly to cover that spot where I was trimming as assertively as I did with my previous trimmer.
While I would want to give this a "five" with no qualifications, one thing makes me want to lower my score a bit: the various clipper snap-ons are not well labeled. The height value is formed into the plastic of the snap-ons, and this makes it *very difficult* to read how short a particular snap-on will cut one's hair. There might not be much difference in 3mm or 5mm in some instances, but when trying to trim down one's beard, cutting it too short can take a bit of time to regrow. It might not be possible to mark them more clearly and keep the price low, but consider perhaps making the number bigger or even taller so that it is easier to see.
Also, the bag that comes with the kit to store the snap-ons is small; I found that I needed to keep the original packaging to make sure that my most commonly used snap ons are easy to find (there are a *lot* of pieces, are very similar in size and color, and difficult to distinguish between), and the original packaging is fiddly to use when taking the trimmer and snap-ons out or putting it away when done.
There are a lot of helpful instructions written in text so small on dull, tissue-thin paper that a magnifying glass AND a very bright spotlight are needed to read it. Perhaps there is a PDF version of the instructions available but I did not find this. The miniscule text made it extremely difficult to understand any of the instructions and the images, while marked with a legend, used a similar elfin font that made understanding what part was what, how to attach or remove the snap-ons, and even how to clean the blade frustrating to grasp. Once I figured out how to snap on and off the attachments by the familiar method of "try to see if you can just do it" and even the same with the blade itself, I understood what to do, but I was not very happy while trying to connect what the hieroglyphics provided with the trimmer meant when attempting to clean or connect the pieces.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product works well for cutting hair. It comes with assorted attachments that work well for trimming various lengths facial hair as well as on the head. I would highly recommend this trimmer/cutter.
