Very Impressed!!! 2010-08-31

By Jeff Stein

So I said to the woman I can either get the 15$ beard trimmer or one that is more expensive but is supposed to have a vacuum in it. I got the T980 and I'm really really impressed. I trimmed the Fuzz and it made no mess whatsoever. Amazing!

Doesn't do what I need - returned it the next day 2010-08-31

By Reflector (MA, USA)

I bought this to replace a 4 year old Norelco G390 which served me reasonably well for the past 4 years till its NiCd battery died (bought at a "warehouse" store for just under $20).
There are over 600 reviews with an average of 4 stars and I thought "how can 600+ people be wrong?" so I bought it.

Dumb idea.

I won't go through all the pros and not even all the cons so you'll need to read other reviews, I'll just focus on why I simply can't use it and had to return it:

1. The distance from the comb interface to the blade - the part that goes up and down and stays at the same distance from the blade - is 1/8 inch longer than on the G390. This is due to the vacuum duct. As a result I was simply not able to get all the way up my mustache to trim it - it simply hit the nose. Other angles of approach or even the lowest trim setting didn't work. I was left with a funny looking longer part of the mustache and looking like a dictator from the previous century which i will not name. I ended up taking the comb attachment off the blade and, using a real comb like hairdressers used to do, trimmer the rest of the way manually. Suffice to say I did not pay $[...] so I could do that.
I'll post the image comparing the G390 to this one on Amazon and you can see for yourself how it limit the reach of the blade.

2. The vacuum is useless. Sure, it capture a lot of the hair but enough of it drop out too. There is no way I would use it anywhere else but over a sink and even then I'll have to clean both the sink and the little transparent bin - so why pay extra.

I've returned it to Amazon the next day.

I'm going to look for the G390 or another similar model from Norelco - the G390 was about half price, didn't have vacuum or direct AC but did have multiple attachments, upright stand and lasted 4 years despite the antiquated battery technology.

Big Improvemements over older types 2010-08-30

By ReVolution

Main downsides: Made in China and has non replaceable battery, no removable hair chamber-only small door opens and have to shake whole trimmer over garbage can to get hair out.

Pros: Locks guide into place much better, more comfortable to use, turbo mode cuts longer beards a little better and gets more of cut hair into holding chamber- though by no means all of the hair gets collected, seems better built all around vs older version, travel case is nice enough and has slightly better instructions on use and maintenence of product.

All in all a good buy overall and a great value, though I'd happily pay $20 more if made moslty if not entirely in USA

Best trimmer I've ever used. 2010-08-30

By Zach Walker

I've worn a beard for 15 years, and have tried everything from full sized Oster clippers to a variety of trimmers. None compare to this item. This makes facial hair maintenance a snap. The built-in vacuum keeps the trimmings in a chamber and not all over the vanity. Can't recommend this highly enough.

Great shaver 2010-08-30

By DozaBK

I was happily surprised that the vacuum feature actual does work. Normally when i trim my beard the bathroom counter is covered in hair which is annoying to clean, but with this buzzer about 85% of the hair gets contained in the buzzer and is easily emptied. Also the range of buzzing lengths is very good. Over all so far i really like the buzzer.
