Review (1/5): BAD Design, Unusable Trimmer
When my (non-vacuuming) Norelco trimmer would no longer take a charge, I ordered this item, not too concerned over whether the vacuum was effective or not.
What I received was a poorly designed trimmer:
1. To hold the trimmer, one must place one's hands over the vacuum air exit slots, thus throttling the vacuum.
2. The guard was so complex to attach and detach that it took 10 minutes each time to do it.
3. The closeness settings don't actually lock in, and tend to "wander" toward (1), the closest setting. And so I would find myself completing my trim with 3/4" length hair on one side of my face, graduating to stubble on the other.
I finally threw the thing in the garbage after a week and bought a leftover non-vacuum Norelco model like the one I previously had - $19.99.
So, if you see some poor soul walking down the street with long whiskers on one side of his face, and a 5 o'clock shadow on the other, be kind. He's probably not dimented - just the victim of this "new and improved" beard trimmer.
