Review (4/5): Beard trimmer, Stubble creator
I purchased this product because blades are too expensive these days and I'm just not a morning person. I like the stubble look so after searching product reviews, purchasers of the 980 seemed confident in it's ability to take care of business on setting #1.
It does a great job, 90% of hair gets sucked into the trap. No facial irritation.
The only thing you may need is a regular razor to shape your beard's edges. With the length guard removed you can get pretty close but if you want no hair there you'll need to resort to trimming to zero length then shaping with a razor (while not perfect in that it can't do it all, the results are perfect)!
Pros:
Light
reasonably quiet
no oiling!
grip it by the twist height adjuster and it works great
Cons:
doesn't have a foil-like shaver attachment for removing hair to zero
no stand/dock (only a neg for people who have no place to hide it)
not a smart charger
I believe it's an old style battery so don't expect it to last as long as lithium
