August 1, 2010 This review is from: Philips Norelco Qt4050 Vacuum Beard, Stubble and Moustach Trimmer, Black (Health and Beauty)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Pros:
+ Lithium-Ion battery holds a charge longer
+ International-voltage charger
+ Fine-grained and more secure height adjustment
Cons:
- Swing-open door for hair removal a pain
- No narrow-blade accessory for mustaches
- No carrying case
- Somewhat wimpy vacuum
For the past two and a half years, I have been using the Philips Norelco T980 Turbo Vacuum Trimmer, which is an earlier generation of the Qt4050. I've been generally satisfied with the T980, except that its NiCd battery won't hold a charge anymore. The Qt4050 has a big advantage in that it uses a Lithium-Ion battery, rare in products of this nature, though I expect it will become more common in the future. Li-Ion batteries last longer between charges and don't degrade as quickly as NiCd or NiMH batteries do. I also like...Read more

This is the best beard trimmer I have owned in the 10+ years I've been using one. I previously purchased the QT4070 and hated it! But used the money back offer from Norelco and got it right away no questions asked.... I then both this one, the QT4050.....and it is absolutely perfect. Several features make it superior to others I have owned.... One, the dial for adjusting the lengths is recessed so that it can't be moved by accident....Two, it accepts international voltage making it perfect for travel....and three, it cuts more evenly than any I have ever owned. When fully charged it provides more trims that my prior Norelcos and can be used with the cord if you need to... Overall I am extremely happy with it and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a beard trimmer
Oh, one last item.... I had no trouble emptying the vacumm container nor did I think the few hairs that it didn't catch were an issue.... so again, excellent

I was a bit concerned seeing so many reviews harping on this not being as good as the previous model. I was using an older one, a few models prior to this one, and so looked around trying to find the previous model, but had no luck. So took the gamble on this one.
So far, outstanding. I can see why people would complain about the little hinged door for emptying the trimmings, it does make this a little messier. But the reason I replaced my old one (and the one prior to that) was that the little cup type receptacle they used to use always broke on me after time, becoming separated, front and back, so that trying to pull it out just pulled off the front cover, letting things fall out if you weren't careful. So while this isn't as neat as the previous solution, it's definitely a better engineering design, less prone to the plastic glue coming undone.
On both my previous models, I ALWAYS had whiskers flying onto the counter and sink when doing my chin. Always...Read more
