I received a free trimmer in order to test it out. I am extremely impressed with this product. It comes ready to go and the instructions are crystal clear. Good quality product that really gets the job done. Shaving and trimming has never been so much fun.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Acceptable trimmer but nothing special. Good design/Average performace

Item: Norelco Beardtrimmer series 1000
Functionality:
The trimmer comes with attachable heads so you may trim your beard to your desired length, which are easy to put on and take off. Aside from that, I found the heads to be a bit disappointing. It only came with three different lengths which felt limiting. I would have preferred to see an adjustable head that features more length options, similar to other trimmers on the market.
The built in rechargeable battery is a nice touch. Unlike other trimmers on the market which require AAA batteries it is nice to have a rechargeable one. The battery life on this product is rather good, but I felt that the recharge time was a bit longer so that balances it out. I was not a fan of the charger that is provided. I felt it was too short for when I wanted to charge it in my bathroom, so I had to resort to leaving it on my kitchen countertop. I would have preferred for a longer cord, as well as a wall outlet plug in.
The product is a trimmer so the most important part is how well does it trim in the end. After using it once every two days I felt that it was similar to some other trimmers I have used, but definitely did not give the close shave I wanted. It is good for a quick touch up but I wish it was able to provide a closer cut.

Design:
The Norelco’s design is simple and not too bulky. This is a major plus in my opinion. I feels good in your hands as you use it and does not feel too “plastic-y” even though it had a plastic body. The curves in the design help with holding it in different positions, and the texture grip helps as well. The only flaw I experiences with the design was with the “safety” trigger in the center of the power switch. After the second use it became stuck under the switch and now no longer does its purpose. This is not a major problem since the trimmer is still able to be turned on/off with no issue, but it still disappointing.

Overall:
Overall I found this product to not standout from most other trimmers. The design and functionality is similar to that of which you would experience from almost any other trimmer in its tier. I would recommend it to a friend looking for a mid level trimmer, but if they were looking for something with a bit more wow then I’d steer them elsewhere. The trimmer lacks and special features that leave me excited so for that id give it a 6/10 rating.

Pros: design, rechargeable battery
Cons: lacks close shave, limited lengths
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Product Review
on July 2, 2018
Posted by: RyanS
1. What does the product do well? Battery life seemed to be adequate, beard combs fit snugly and provided a uniform cut length.
2. What is your favorite feature? USB charger was convenient due to the availability of the cords and adapters.
3. Are the product instructions clear? Yes
4. Is the product easy to assemble? Yes
5. How does the product compare to similar products you have used? This product outperformed the built in trimmer on my current electric razor and provided me with more options for length of cut due to the attached combs. It also provided a more uniform cut than my normal hair clippers due to finer teeth on the blades, however the clippers did have more options for the length of cut.
6. Does the product meet your quality expectations? Yes, the trimmer felt sturdy and not like a fragile piece of equipment.
7. What improvements would you suggest? More beard combs of various lengths.
8. What is your overall impression? It performed well for an entry level beard trimmer.

Very Basic shaver had trouble at first
on January 15, 2021

Gender:Male
When I first go this trimmer, I was NOT able to flip the switch up to turn it on. It was stuck I tried and tried and finally had to use a screwdriver at the risk of breaking the switch but finally got it to turn on and after that have not had problems. It's a basic trimmer, It doesn't have a lot of accessories but it does the job.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very Basic Trimmer
on April 16, 2021
Posted by: RobinAustin
Gender:Male
I bought this hoping I could also trim my facial hair and it does ok. The attachments are very limited and just snap on. The weirdest thing about it is a UPC Charger but has a wall adapter. There is no light to let you know it's charged.
I would recommend this to a friend!
