Jack of all trades....master of none
This is primarily a full, rotor, circular head shaver and the grip and hold of the base unit bears that out making it conducive to shaving your head. In that aspect it does an ok job. It does hit the areas and it actually performs adequately.<br /><br />The battery life is good. Based on what you're doing (IE shaving head which takes longer than trimming nose hairs, etc...) you will get 15-20 uses out of it before needing a recharge. I like these new devices that give you a readout of how much life is left versus older models that just had a green light go red blinking. It will allow you to optimize battery life and more importantly know how much you have left.<br /><br />The other attachments are interchangeable  and allow you to trim your beard to varying lengths or even the hair on your head. It also has the aforementioned nose trimmer to tame your nose hairs. It even comes with a lathering attachment to apply shaving foam and gels before switching over to shave.<br /><br />It is easy to clean and use but I found the nose trimmer to be subpar versus other dedicated models. The head shaving attachment requires multiple passes to hit every area and to shave it down. If you're looking for a clean look, you can get the job done with a disposable razor in a fraction of the time.<br /><br />The lathering attachment does work, but I find it easier and quicker to just apply by hand.<br /><br />My dedicated set of facial trimmers does a much better job than the ones included here.<br /><br />Lastly, while the ergonomics of the base unit works best for trimming your noggin, it gets awkward and cumbersome when trying to use it for your nose and face trimming.<br /><br />Does it work? Yes, and I could see if you have limited space traveling how this unit would be great to take with you as you will get a "good enough" job taking care of most of your grooming needs without having to take multiple devices with you but if you're looking for a better job at each you would be better served making more space in your luggage and taking along dedicated devices if needed.<br /><br />I will use it to shave down my head when I get too lazy and the hair gets too long for a straight razor and I'll use it to get it to a length I can then shave with a straight razor. For everything else, I'll stick with my dedicated grooming devices as they do a better job.<br /><br />3/5
