Review (4/5): Great so far
Only tried it once so far -- for beard trimming -- but it's very promising.
The "mowing" operation -- getting my beard to an even length -- went extremely well. It was easy, the results were good, and the vacuum did a surprisingly good job of capturing most of the trimmed hair.
The "edging" operation was a little less successful, but I think that new personal care products like this always take a little while to get used to. I'm optimistic that I'll go from liking it to loving it with a little practice.
And the battery ran the trimmer strongly throughout that first session. It's a Ni-Cad battery, so you KNOW it will disappoint you in the end, but:
- The instructions are very clear about how to maximize a Ni-Cad battery's life.
- You can always fall back to corded operation. (That's a smart design.)
