Good trimmer; battery holding up well
Purchased the T980 trimmer in January (is now mid-Oct), and it has worked well. This replaced an earlier Norelco whose battery finally gave up (+ it got dropped a couple of times...), and - for once - the replacement actually seems better than the original.<br />Unit shipped with a decent (not great) flip-cover travel case, large enough for the trimmer & charger, and with a small net pouch for the narrow trimming head (which has not been used). Have also never needed the "Turbo" mode.<br />The "vacuum" feature on the T980 works somewhat better than the earlier unit: it does not catch everything, but certainly captures most of the clippings. The flip open door to empty the contents is convenient.<br />Don't care for the hard body, but there is a nice rubber ring (used to change the cutting depth) that makes a good grip point. Find it difficult to read the "zoom" - that is, cutting depth - setting from certain angles / lighting conditions, but this is not a major problem.<br />After some 9 months of use, this unit still looks great, cuts great, and has a pleasingly long battery life. It lacks a multi-LED charge indicator, but does have a "Low" battery warning light (+ a Charge light) & the unit will still run for several beard trimmings once the warning light comes on. All-in-all, a good purchase.
