I've owned many trimmers, razors, and shavers and this one seems to be the best one out there. As you've probably noticed by going through the reviews, the old reviews about the comb stabbing you is no longer an issue because they also provide the contour comb as well.
At first when I started using it, I didn't really like it. It seemed as though I had to do more work than I bargained for to get a nice even shave. I played around with the different settings and adjusted the length multiple times only to see that there were still a few rogue strands sticking out. However, after just setting it to the length I hoped would be correct, I just pushed in through the hair to the skin and let it fly and that seemed to do the trick. It seems with this trimmer that being afraid to make some minor mistake is not the way to go if you expect to have a nice even shave, and no you do not have to apply pressure, just let it trim the full length of hair up to your skin. So, with that being said, I will explain the pros and the cons:
Pros:
- Easily switching trimming lengths
I have a goatee and a full beard so I tend to trim them both down to different sizes, so switching easily to different lengths was a big deal for me. This shaver does that with no problem, simply slide the adjuster and keep shaving.
- Turbo mode
I guess this is a pro, as the few times that I have used it I haven't really noticed a huge improvement in the speed and efficiency of shaving seeing as the regular mode does the job just fine in a timely manor.
- Battery life
I charged it once I received it to full battery and haven't charged it since and have been using it almost on a daily basis. (Have owned it for almost two months.)
- Vacuum
The vacuum is new to me. In general it's great because before I had to deal with cleaning up a lot of hair in the sink and now the cleaning is very minimal. Depending on your beard size and how much you trim, you may have to do multiple empties of the hair trap.
- Precision
This is a major pro for me. If you use it correctly and know the right length to trim everything down to then this trimmer can be very accurate at giving you an even shave.
Cons:
- Vacuum
The hole where the vaccum sucks in the air is somewhat small and can get clogged easily. If you're letting your goatee/beard grow out and trim down a decent amount then expect to make many trips to clear out the hair trap and unclog the hole.
- Sans Beard
Obviously this is a trimmer and you can't expect to be able to get a full clean shave out of it, but it gets it down to a fairly minimal amount of stubble to be able to easily shave it with a companion device. In hindsight, maybe I didn't work at it enough to get a full clean shave as most of my shaves are early in the morning when i'm rushing out the door.
All in all, this is a great trimmer and I would recommend it to anyone who has a beard or goatee. It may take some getting used to until you get that perfect shave down, but once you do you'll understand what you need to adjust for the future shaves.

Vacuum functions works well, but design causes problem trimming mustache area
I bought this product after it was recommended by my brother. We both are of indian descent and both of us grow some pretty gnarly beards. I never really used a trimmer for my beard. I would simply let it grow and once it got too big, it would shave it off and start over. I prefer to have a beard at all times because lets face it, beards are cool, and this norelco trimmer certainly makes that easier. The trimmer is very aesthetically pleasing. It comes with 2 different attachments (1 that is your basic solid piece that you see on all trimmers and another that has a small spring in it and contours to your face much better). The charge lasts for quite a while and the turbo button certainly helps for trimming down thicker beards. The vacuum also works quite well, but of course is not perfect. I still have a small amount of hair trimmings that fall around the sink, but the trimmer does appear to catch the majority of the trimmings which is nice. The cleaning is pretty easy as well with a light brush-off with the small included brush. Recently after using it for a couple months I realized that the part at the top that houses the blades can actually come off and I found that it was packed full of trimmings as well, so now i'll be sure to regularly take that off and clean it as well. The only issue I have come across with the trimmer is that the vacuum function means that there has to be a path for the hair to be suctioned in. That leads to a design annoyance in that the trimmer blades are difficult to use for trimming down to the skin because the vacuum shaft doesnt allow you to place the blades against the skin too easily. This also causes a problem when I am trimming my mustache. Because the blade is a little less than a centimeter from the end, my mustache always ends of having longer hair near the nose because the cutting surface cant reach there with my nose in the way and the added on centimeter or so that vacuum function adds in front of the blade. I know this sounds confusing so I have included a image I found of the trimmer on a quick google search that will hopefully explain what I am talking about (I would upload a picture of my own trimmer but I didn't bring it with me on this trip). Otherwise this product is great and it works really well. I'll just have to find another device to help make sure my mustache isn't so much thicker and longer than the rest of my beard.
