I use the Philips's beard trimmers for more than 15 years. My first one was Definition 90 and I used it for many years (it's still working but it fell down more than 50 times and finally the guard was broken). The second was Philishave T788 - very nice one but two weeks ago it started to make some strong noices and without hesitation I got the newest Philips on the market. What a big deception! The hole in the guard close to the blade is dangerous for your lips, it's difficult to get an consistent cut, there is no more storage bag and the worst - NO ANY PRECISION TRIMMER!
Great clippers; worried about fragile trimmer head

I had an older version Philips clipper that was terrific. This new design - where you have to remove the trimmer head and clippers to empty out the hair clippings - seems more likely to break than the older model, where you could open a door to empty them out.
Pros: long battery life, good selection of accessories
Cons: hard to remove adjustable trimmer, trimmer 'legs' seem fragile
this was my first beard trimmer ever, so I had nothing to compare it to. For better or worse. I liked the ease of use and the end result.
What I didn't fancy at all was the ergonomics of the design. Leaves a lot to be desired. Do I trim down, do I trim up, either way it was awkward as I would like something more contoured to suit the shape of the human skull
Ingenuous product, and the turbo setting really performs. Almost zero residue on the sink. Easy adjustments, Use one setting for my beard and another for my sideburns. Highly recommended.
Pros: like the digital light setting indicator
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

I recently bought the Beard Trimmer the 7300 and I have nothing but goo things to say about this product. Personally I feel that these clippers are the best I've ever owned. And I have bought a lot of clippers in my day. The vacuum design made clean up very easy and I would totally recommend this product to anybody.
I highly recommend this trimmer. I use it for trimming my beard mostly and it does so very effectively. Love the "vacuum system". It is highly effective! No mess.
This thing does everything I need it to do. Keeps my beard very neatly trimmed without my wife flipping out about the mess. Very easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's honestly the best beard timmer I've ever owned.

I've owned this trimmer for five months now without a hitch. It cuts evenly and smoothly without snagging at multiple easily adjustable lengths. I prefer a long stubble, so I use it about every third day. Which brings me to the battery life; it's always near full after sitting between shaves. I charge it randomly from time to time, but I don't leave it plugged in. For maintaining my stubble look, I couldn't be any happier with this product.
