Excellent beard trimmer while it holds a charge,

I have used several beard trimmers in the past, and this one is the best. Why?
* It is light and maneuverable.
* It is self-contained: there are no separate parts and trimming guides to lose.
* You can adjust the trimming length WHILE the unit is running, unlike other brands where the unit has to be off to adjust the length.
* The trimming guide is removable, so you can adjust hairlines directly with the blades.
* The battery charge lasts for weeks with typical use. [EDIT, DECEMBER 2009: NEVERMIND! See below.]
* The blades are sharp and can be used to trim your beard very precisely.
I'm not really sure why they call it a "Stubble Trimmer" as it doesn't seem any different than all the other beard trimmers that I've used in the past -- the length goes from longish stubble to full beard length.
A real "stubble trimmer" would have far more precise trimming abilities at the low end. The trimming guide goes from 1-9 in length, and...Read more

Good beard trimmer - but limited if stubble is your goal.,

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I was excited to receive this item as I wear a permanent stubble look on my face. I typically use a Wahl beard trimmer which gives me the trim I need but has its own limitations. So I figured this Philips Norelco unit might offer some improvements. The Norelco is much more sophisticated than my old-fashioned Wahl in terms of the design - it is lightweight, has a rubberized finish that feels less likely to slip out of my hands, has no attachments to lose and has a nifty turn dial to change length settings. However as others have noted this is a beard trimmer rather than a stubble trimmer. I wish there was a setting between 1 and 2. I find the 2 setting to be a bit too long. I also would not classify anything beyond 2 as "stubble". All of the settings beyond 2 are of no use to me - if you like to trim a beard then these settings might be useful, but this is not a "stubble" trimmer.
The other major difference between this unit and my old Wahl is that the head on the Norelco...Read more

Useful but may be redundant if you have other trimmers,

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I've got clippers to clip my hair. And I used those to clip my body hair. Then I bought the Norelco BodyGroom, because they convinced me it was better for shaving everywhere else.
Then I got tired of shaving everyday with my Norelco Cool Skin razor and decided to let my facial hair grow out, but keep it trimmed to stubble. I like to call it "the weekender". Anyway, I was using my normal clippers for this, but they were large and corded and rough on my skin.
In comes the Norelco Stubble Trimmer, tailor made for guys like me. I can keep my stubble, groom it with a smaller tool that is more facial friendly. Plus it is easy to adjust the level of stubble cut off. And if you remove the guard, you have a nice little trimmer for detail work.
I charged it fully when I got it, and have been using is a bit over 2 weeks without a recharge. Now admittedly, I don't use it everyday (more like twice a week). It did sound like it was slowing down when I used it today so...Read more
