Review (4/5): Hey! It Cuts hair!
This purchase was to replace a Wahl trimmer that died suddenly after a couple of years. It had done a good job but the feature I liked best about it was the built in vacuum. Stopped my wife from complaining about a trail of hair on the sink.
After a quick look thru the internet I soon discovered this vacuum feature was a rarity. Then I found the NorelcoT980 Turbo here on Amazon. It has the vacuum and a extra Turbo function that your first time you'll think it's going to pull off all the hair. Well it doesn't but the motor does get louder in turbo and I'm sure it also eats up more battery power. It's a well made piece of machinery that feels good in your hand. The heigh adjustment click in nicely. The cover over the blades ride nicely over your face but this is something you'll have to use the included cleaning brush to wipe out hair that will stick in it's nicks and crannies.
There is a second blade that is used for finer detailing like around your mouth. It works well and enables you to keep the hair out of your mouth. Funny thing about the attachments. The first few times you change them or remove the hair catcher they seem to be difficult to remove. But soon they pop off easily. Suppose it's just a matter of learning were to pull.
I do wish it came with a stand for the razor. It comes with a pouch that you can store a everything including the charger, but somehow I get the feeling Norelco though us guys with beards travel a lot. I don't and would have like a place to sit the T980 where I can grab it for a quick trim.
