Summary: Great beard shaver 2008-08-01
Comment: I researched all of the Norelco beard trimmers before deciding to buy on Amazon. I read all of the reviews and noted some of the negatives like noise and the fact that the shaver doesn't "vaccum" all of the whiskers. I must say I haven't seen much of these negatives. The trimmer works great and beats my old Braun which did not collect whiskers. I would say that 90% of the whiskers are collected in the compartment rather than on my bathroom counter. The noise in my opinion is to be expected given the cutting and vacuum action being performed. I especially like the carrying case and accessory trimmer that are included with this model. The only negative I have noted is that the trimmer settings are not real precise. If I want a real clean look I have to go all the way down to the lowest setting and my goatee needs trimming about every 3 days. For the guys who are able to keep their beards a little longer this is probably not much of an issue.

I highly recommend this shaver if you are wanting a clean, neat trim.

Summary: Does Anyone Know of a Trimmer That Can Give Me a 3 to 4 Day Beard? 2008-07-27
Comment: I'm looking for a trimmer that can give me the effect of a 3 to 4 day beard, which is a fairly light growth, but considerably more than a "five o'clock shadow". (I don't want a product that's designed to maintain a heavy beard; something in the 3 to 4 day length is just about right for me.)

This trimmer says it has 9 settings, but it doesn't say what the specific lengths are. The Norelco website doesn't say, either.

If you have any experience with this trimmer, or with another product that can give me the results I'm seeking, please post your comments here or email me at [...]. Thanks.

Summary: Good trimmer 2008-07-24
Comment: I've never used it without turning Turbo on, so I don't know what the regular is like. I've used it about seven or eight times so far and still haven't recharged it from it's initial charge. The length adjuster is very nice, much nicer than my old crappy walmart cheapie. However, I kept the cheapie because it cuts a little bit closer without a guard than this one does. And this way I don't have to remove the guard. I usually use setting 1 for a close, stubble plus a little more look, and then shave my neck clean. Easy and convenient.

The Vacuum feature is nice, as it gets 98% of my hair. I now stand at the sink, instead of in the (dry) tub with a hand held mirror. Very little cleanup.

It cuts very smooth! I'll see how it holds up over time, but for now it's very nice, no pinching, no pulling.

Many people complained about the noise, I don't think it's that bad.

The only complaint I have is that the guard is pretty big and it's tough to trim my mustache without jamming the thing up against my nose.

Summary: Good, but nothing mind-blowing 2008-07-24
Comment: I purchased this item because I was tired of leaving hairs all over the place and because I had lost the charger for my old trimmer. Bottom line up front: this thing trims and has lots of nice features, but is not worth leaving a working trimmer in the trash for.

The item comes with different heads, one of which will give you a wide range of length adjustments that are easily switched between. The unit feels solid as a whole and also has a reasonable case (it doesn't seem to be dedicated to holding each part in a certain place, but instead it holds everything in one pouch).

The vacuum action will catch most hairs, but you can't get away with not trimming over a sink. It will still allow some hairs to get away; it's no Flowbee. The end result is better than nothing, but not a complete solution.

As I said before, if you have a trimmer that works for you now, stick with it. You can get this if the current one breaks. It's not going to make trimming a new experience or solve the world's problems, but it's a competent trimmer that reduces some of the clean-up.

Summary: Best trimmer yet, but one irritating flaw 2008-07-24
Comment: So, I bought the lower model at Target without the vacuum earlier today and plugged it in, realizing that it didn't have enough power to do the deed, and the battery seemed pathetic. It was a tough choice between the lesser model and the one with the vacuum/turbo.

I exchanged the crappy one for this one and found its capabilities supersede my needs, and then some. I could probably trim the hedges with this thing. The vacuum is also very impressive. I assumed I'd be sweeping half my body hair off the floor (yeah, "bodyhair" trimmers don't actually do what I want them to, so I use beard trimmers. Most people that I know do, too).

So, what's the drawback? The setting doesn't stay put. Unless you old it by the setting dial, it'll slip down with even the slightest pressure. It's pathetic. The box says something about setting "lock", but that's just a norelco company inside joke.
