after 2½ years not so good
Trimmer worked pretty well for quite a while. I was OK with the amount of hair the vac collected, never expected it to get it all anyway.<br />THe little spring that keeps the vac flap in place (I cant describe it better, sorry) escaped from the head --that was not so good. By some miracle I found it weeks later on the floor and figured out how to get it back in place. Better than not but not that good either.  All along there was never a way to trim up close under your nose with this thing because the head is so darn big. I honestly think the spring loaded thingie thats supposed to guide it to the shape of your face is in a word--worthless.<br /><br />More problems: Worst was the motor seizing up, this began a few months ago and got worse. Was able to keep it going by dumping oil intended for the blades down the shaft--that seemed to help but not enough<br />and the unit began buzzing and vibrating too much and seemed more and more unwieldy and scary to use so I have replaced it with a Wahl trimmer. I'm not saying I would never buy another one of these but I would like to see some sign that they have addressed some of the problems and arent still making the same old thing.
