Three years of use and still EXCELLENT
I've used the T980 for a year and a half and it still works great.<br /><br />I've tried several trimmers and a couple that claimed a vacuum ablility, most failed miserably. Most others also felt like junk compared to the T980's construction.<br /><br />The T980's vacuum actually DOES work very well...with a couple of caveats.  You must switch it to turbo mode to be effective, and if you're trimming more than a light amount of hair you need to dump out the cut hair once or twice (which is easy to do with the way it is made) for the vacuum to still work effectively.<br />Great quality product and the storage pouch is such a nice simple touch but so very handy.<br /><br />UPDATE 2/2012: 3 years of use and still works well. Battery quit holding a charge a month ago, but that was not unexpected. One reason I bought this model was that it will work corded even after the battery quits holding a charge.
