Review (4/5): Turbo trimer!
The good the bad and the ugly. Here goes. I've always sworn by Norelco trimmers. I've owned several. They normally last reasonably well. I normally get 5 years of use out of them. I say reasonably well because in this day and age, 5 years is good but I prefer things to last 20 years like they used too. Sadly; that's not going to happen. The adjustable guide is the best design that I have found. Far better than similar units that use multiple guides that can get lost, damaged and require additional storage space. The turbo function does work, it has enough high power that calling it "turbo" is not only cool but accurate. The charge/low battery lights function well. The vacuum functions well. I've tried other manufactures so called vacuum units and found that not only did they not work they were a total disappointment. This vacuum system works! Removing and installing the guide was a bit tricky at first but you get used to it. The single thing that I miss is the slide up mini trimmer. Frankly; I would rather have that than the vacuum. Still, I like this product and recommend it! I have had it about a year now and it still works perfect!
Update: 3 years old and like new!
Update: 5 years old, still like new! If it ever fails I'll be buying another Philips/Norelco.
