Works ok, but a wet/dry trimmer is the way to go!
Had this trimmer for 2 years and it died last week after sliding into the bathroom sink under running water....<br /><br />While it was working it was a good trimmer overall, though I really didn't like have to switch out the trimmer heads for the standard and then the detail sized cutters--on more than one occasion I was in a hurry and fumbling around looking for the other cutter assembly than what was on the trimmer. Another issue was that it was relatively easy to move the height adjustment by accident when taking off and replacing the plastic trimmer guard, which you need to do in order to switch cutting heads. It wasn't a really big deal, but a lot of times I wouldn't remember which number I had the hair length set on, and then I would have to guess what setting I had it one the last time I used it.....The vacuum feature was nice I guess in that it doesn't get too many little beard trimmings all over the sink, but then again it's really easy to just turn on the sink and rinse it, or, use the trimmer over a rug where you'll never see the small trimmings.....<br /><br />But the big lesson here is to be sure buy a wet/dry beard trimmer that won't die if it gets a little wet. I just bought the Panasonic ER224S All-in-One Cordless Hair and Beard Trimmer [[ASIN:B000F4USF8 Panasonic ER224S All-in-One Cordless Hair and Beard Trimmer (Silver)]] which was almost half the price of the Phillips Norelco unit and it's a wet/dry trimmer that you can use in the shower. It also has a built-in detail trimmer so you don't have to switch cutter heads and worry about loosing attachments. When I went to replace the T980 that died, I avoided the latest Phillips/Norelco version because I think a wet/dry is beard trimmer is really the only way to go. So far I really like the Panasonic, and I wish I had bought one of these to start with.......
