Best trimmer I've ever used.
I've owned this model for over five years now. It has never failed, but for one thing, and that was the large beard trimming attachment, which the "catch" for adjusting length of trim broke, but only after I dropped it (more than once). However, the smaller of the two is still functioning just fine.<br /><br />The nose/ear hair trimmer jammed up on me, but I freed the cutting strip inside, which got hung up on the metal retainer, and it's worked fine ever since. That was two years ago that this happened.<br /><br />The foil attachment works well, though if your beard is a bit long, you'll need to trim it down with the raw exposed blade of the shaver, which I do anyway for my neck. The head detaches so you can clean the fine hair "dust" out. I just blow it off, though the included brush can be used. There's a comb included, too.<br /><br />Overall cleaning is a snap. And if you have concerns about the battery lasting? Five years and it still holds a charge for at least a week, even two (with lighter use). The motor is still strong, too, especially at full charge. I have a pretty coarse beard, but it cuts just fine, even at half charge.<br /><br />The stand is compact and doesn't really take up much counter real estate at all. The wall wart is a little bulky, but I don't care about that. The motor unit itself is comfortable in the hand and not heavy at all. And the noise level is relatively quiet.<br /><br />You won't find a better unit for the price. I'm buying another one and storing it away for when my current one finally dies. But at the rate it's going, that could be another couple years, at least. No, I'm not kidding. Only the battery dying will be the reason I replace it.
