Review (1/5): Bogus
As an owner of the previous model without the vacuum, I was looking forward to this new purchase. Bah. This item is heavier, noisier and more inconvenient than its predecessor. And for practically no gain! This shaver catches maybe 10% of the clipped hair with the rest of it flying all over the sink.
Stay away from this model.
Update: I've owned Norelco trimmers in the past, however based on my experience with this particular model, my next trimmer will NOT be a Norelco. The fan which drives the vaccuum rattles against the plastic housing, making a hideous noice while I'm trimming. The vaccuum action is terrible; hairs don't make it down into the receptacle, causing constant blockage. This in turn, scatters hair all over the place, worse than any conventional non-vac trimmer I've ever owned. (And no, my beard is not especially thick either.) I've finally had it with this model. I'm about to order a new trimmer on Amazon. No, it won't be a Norelco.
