Andis 13430 Platinum Personal Trimmer

I don't normally do reviews, but I felt I should add some comments on this trimmer. I bought this as a filler item, and figured it would wind up in the trash like all the other trimmers Ive tried. I was amazed at how good this trimmer worked, it cuts/trims super close, fits where it needs to fit, and doesn't get overly hot(some cheap trimmers heat up quick in my experience and make use uncomfortable). The trimmer has a good weight and quality feel, as most of the andis products do(Ive owned two clippers over the years). This is a steal at the regular or the sale prices. I recommend it.

Years ago Panasonic used to make a trimmer like this one. It didn't have a vacuum attachement or an LED screen to provide useless information, it just worked. It trimmed close enough to use on a single hair, or just for a quick touch up. Somehow through the years they lost thier way. Thier trimmers stopped trimming and this whole vacuum thing came about. Now, I don't know about you, but unless you've got some kind of ingrown mustache up there, I have no idea why you'd need a vacuum attachement to your nose hair trimmer.

The Andis trimmer is inexpensive, simple and most important provides a close painless detail trim just like the old panasonic that I used to use. It's easy to switch on with a nice great big slider switch right where your thumb goes and gets the job done quickly, easily and simply. I highly recommend this trimmer.

Contrary to a previous review that I read, mine has plenty of power, perhaps the reviewer should ask Amazon for an...Read more

All of my previous trimmers were the Sharper Image models which I thought were the only good ones on the market. I finally dropped my last one & since the company is now gone I figured I would have to go back to the "barely works" kind. But no, this trimmer works great! It cuts close, it's quiet, and because it only uses a single AA it's small and light. Smaller is better for me due to travel. I also like the vented cap (which fits tightly) because I can let it dry after rinsing without having to keep the cap off. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it doesn't have a light (I did like the excellent light on the Sharper Image trimmer). This trimmer is a real bargain for the price. I'm going to buy another one before I drop it.
