Review (4/5): after 2½ years not so good
Trimmer worked pretty well for quite a while. I was OK with the amount of hair the vac collected, never expected it to get it all anyway.
THe little spring that keeps the vac flap in place (I cant describe it better, sorry) escaped from the head --that was not so good. By some miracle I found it weeks later on the floor and figured out how to get it back in place. Better than not but not that good either. All along there was never a way to trim up close under your nose with this thing because the head is so darn big. I honestly think the spring loaded thingie thats supposed to guide it to the shape of your face is in a word--worthless.
More problems: Worst was the motor seizing up, this began a few months ago and got worse. Was able to keep it going by dumping oil intended for the blades down the shaft--that seemed to help but not enough
and the unit began buzzing and vibrating too much and seemed more and more unwieldy and scary to use so I have replaced it with a Wahl trimmer. I'm not saying I would never buy another one of these but I would like to see some sign that they have addressed some of the problems and arent still making the same old thing.
