Poor design, poor build quality
Having used several Norelco trimmers in the past I looked forward to using the top of the line T970. I am very disappointed after using it for six months. I have gone back to an earlier model while waiting for delivery of my Panasonic trimmer.<br /><br />The vacuum works OK, it decreases the amount of clean up but certainly doesn't elminate it, but the real problem involves the regular use of the device. If you have a beard and a moustache a requirement for this kind of device is that it be able to trim at various lengths and then be able to have the length comb removeable. I found the pieces very hard to disassemble/reassemble for use. It would take many tries to get the thing back together.<br /><br />Then pieces started falling off the unit. The mechanism that changes the length is needlessly complicated and fell apart. I found the use of the trimmer frustrating.<br /><br />Overall this is about the poorest consumer electronic device I have ever owned. I have moved over to Panasonic trimmers since this experience was so frustrating.
