Review (4/5): The T970 Sets a Good Standard
I have been using one for about a year. But, recently, I had to replace it because, while in the UK, I inadvertently, plugged the charger into 220V. I could have purchased a replacement charger but, a few months back, my son dropped the trimmer in the sink and it then stopped locking on the depth setting, requiring that I hold the dial fixed while grooming. So, I had a choice, do I buy a full replacement or look around for anything better? All the reviews I could read (and I read a lot), didn't turn up anything that looked better than what I had been using. Why 4 out of 5 stars? Well, the drop in the sink was not that jarring. It should not have broken so easily. Also, it does suck up 80% of the hair but 100% would be the gold standard. Still, 80% is better than the mess I used to have to clean out of the sink. Also, my first unit had a battery that didn't hold a good charge. I am pleased to say that the replacement unit lets me get about 4 trims of my goatee before recharging
