Philips Norelco G270 Multi-Trim All Purpose Groomer

 (54 customer reviews)

I was looking for a good trimer for my beard. I was also looking for a nose and ear hair trimmer. I came across this set and it had both items I was looking for in one package. When I received the trimmer it was packaged in a clear plastic casing. It comes with a cheap charging stand holder. The item worked better than expected. It trimed my beard well. The nose hair came off without pain. The set is light weight and the case holder not the best, In fact it was slightly difficult to put the plug into the charging stand. I liked the set since it does work well. In fact, I bought an extra one to give as a gift to my brother in law.

Before I start, let's just say I'm writing this review because when I purchased this from Amazon there were no reviews avaliable to help me decide if it was worth the money. I originally was looking into actual hair clipping kits from brands like Wahl but was a little aprehensive on spending $30 for a clipper that I didn't even know if I'd continue using. I had previously bought a cheap $9 off-brand and the hair clipper died after two dreadful uses in which it nearly rattled itself to peices, so I was a bit leary on buying another, even if it would be from a famous brand like Wahl.Then I came across the Norelco G270.

If only I could get a hair clipper, I thought, that came with a free trimmer! That would kill two birds with one stone, so to speak, and save me some money. Too bad that the only offer I found like this was...Read more

I was a little skeptical of this trimmer when I first ordered it for touchups at work, but let me assure you, it does much of the same work of it's more pricey cousins with a few bonuses.

- Although I don't have a problem with nose hair, the nose hair attachment works perfectly.

- The beard trimmer is the same as on the pricier cousins.

- The hair trimming guard works very well for cutting hair, or for shaving your head during hot summer days.

- The petite detail trimmer is great for more accurate trimming situations like mustaches.

The one failing of this trimmer is how the different heads attach to the base. It's a little clumsy and will often come detached when trying to change blade length. It's also a fair bit more difficult to blow hair caught in the trimming blades, unlike it's pricier cousins.

All in all, I will not be replacing my more expensive home Norelco Trimmer after it dies. This little wonder does...Read more
