Excellent but short life
I have had this trimmer for over two years now, and use it about twice a month. I'm very happy with its features and durability. After two years though, the battery quickly stopped holding much of a charge then eventually became unchargable.<br /><br />That may be understandable of a nicad battery. The problem is they do not use standard batteries that you can easily replace. I did open the trimmer after some trouble, the batteries were soldered in, which I eventually removed. They looked like two AA's but I quickly found they are really four 1/2AA or 1/3AA, totalling 6V. I could not find replacements in several electronics catalogs, their 1/2AAs are too long and 1/3's too small.<br /><br />Anyway I now have to use it with the power cord, which is not that big of a problem, but for the price I was expecting something that would last much longer, so just be aware of that.
