I have used Philips / Norelco Trimmers before. In fact, this is intended to replace a MUCH older model that is no longer quite right. I think that with this trimmer it is REALLY important to read the [easy to read] instructions. At first, I was not quite sure how to hold / position this as it is a little bit different from earlier Trimmers. However, once I reread the instructions, I found that the trimming went VERY smoothly. I also think that the "gradations" here (i.e., hot much you "move" the shield when you change the setting) is a bit more "nuanced" than my earlier models (which is a good thing a it allows for more precision in the trimming). In practice, what it meant was that I had to readjust the setting a few times to get it as close as I wanted. However, once "set" this all worked very well.
This product is perfect for beard and hair trimming of any type. The adjustable comb head allows you to cut your hair at various heights, and to even cut your hair with a fade. Great gift. Very easy to use.
Pros: ease of use, variable height adjustment, great customer service
Cons: comb blade brittle may break if not too careful
I would recommend this to a friend!

One of the best product I have purchased yet, the Philips!
The trimmer maintained it's advertised features of trimming every other day to keep a clean tight look. It carried a 2.5 year warranty which tells the consumer that Philips Norelco stands behind their products.
