I really like this trimmer when I keep a short beard growth. This trimmer keeps my beard looking good day after day. My only reservation is what I read in many of the reviews as I researched a trimmer. The little plastic door that holds the trimmings has a very cheap plastic latch. I took very good care of it and it broke in the first 30 days. I contacted Philips and they were awesome and sent me a new one right away. I am being very careful with the new one but the latch is so fragile that I am sure it is only a matter of time before it breaks again. But I really like the trimmer so I will keep using until then.
Had two previous beard trimmers, both Norelco with the vacumm option and wanted to stay with the same. The power boost is great, it does a better job of trimming and vacumming.
The gap between the blades and the razor edge makes uncorfotable and unacurate to shave. What a disapointment
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

As someone who has maintained a beard for many years, I've bought and used a variety of trimmers. While all have had their good points, they've all ultimately been disappointments - until now. This trimmer has had consistent power, excellent battery life, great ease of use, and comfort in my hand unlike any other. Without question, this is the best trimmer I've ever owned. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone needing a beard trimmer they can rely on.
Pros: great power, terrific battery iife, excellent design and feel, easy to clean
