[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After trying others brands, this one hits the sweet spot of execution and price. It performs flawlessly with no hair pulling, missed hairs, and extremely great battery. It outperforms others costing much more.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really good set of clippers but not advertised accurately for range of functions. Only works as hair clippers if you wear your hair very short. Really needs several more longer guards. Also, the mm unit of measure should be changed over to standard guard sizes (1,2,3, etc). I had to convert so I knew which I was using.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What more could you really need from a trimmer? It would be nice if this model came with a shaver attachment too but oh well. Good size selections on the guards, and it cuts through thick hair well. It works good on all areas of the body.
Unless you trim your beard almost everyday this trimmer lacks power. What bothers me even more is the high pitched noise this trimmer emits.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi WILake,
We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with the power and noise level of the device.
Our goal is to provide high-quality products that offer excellent performance, and we regret that this has not been your experience. If the trimmer is lacking power, it might be beneficial to ensure it is fully charged before use. Additionally, if the trimmer is making a high-pitched noise, it could be due to incorrect assembly or a potential issue with the device itself.
