Cutting performance is lacking. Cutting length inaccurate. Your prior model T980 was a lot better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It kind of grew on me, so to speak

Initially, I was a little bothered by the idea of a "stubble trimmer" since this was to be my third beard trimmer, but I found it offered a range of lengths ideally suited to the length of trimmer I needed. The vacuum is not perfect but far better that what I had before. By spreading a newspaper down, I no longer have to clean the bathroom counter at all. Iniitially I found that I had a couple of bites from the comb, but fairly quickly learned how to avoid that.
Pros: vacuum is great.
Cons: it seems pretty loud especially with vacuum on.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does exactly what it supposed to easily and effectively.

I use it from time to time when I want a stubble look and it is quick and easy to use.
I have not found a better beard trimmer. The vacuum keeps the mess to almost nothing, and the turbo mode plows through my beard without slowing down.
I have never managed to run the battery all the way down; it holds enough charge to completely trim my beard several times. Even so, this trimmer can run directly off the charger with a dead battery if you forget to plug it in (a major bonus IMHO).
The groomer is well designed, well made and has the added benefit of corded or corded operation. More than enough length settings. One small issue is that to keep the groomer from pulling you may need to keep it on "Turbo" mode.
I keep my beard at a stubble. This trimmer is perfect for that. Plus the hair collection mechanism simplifies cleanup---no messy little hairs all over the place but contained in a little compartment of the trimmer that is easy to clean. It also holds a charge for a very long time. And it is also very attractively designed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I would rate this product very high. I have a very thick beard and so far this trimmer can help to maintain it. I use it in "turbo" mode to wack and hack as much as I can. I wish the teeth were closer together to get a closer trim, but for the most part it works very well.
