Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good trimmer
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 ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good, but nothing mind-blowing
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 ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Best trimmer yet, but one irritating flaw
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 ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great for Course Hair
I purchased this for my husband who has really course hair. He loves it. I didn't want to spend a lot of $ on an electric trimmer, because he seems to go through them fast. I found this one on sale here, and it's wonderful. It trims his goatee which is really course, and he has even had to trim his head with it, he buzzes his head, since his clippers broke. He's really picky about his clippers and trimmer, and he said he loves it and it works great.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - No mess!
I had a simular older model before and the battery went bad, the cost of the replacement battery was half of this new unit. I decided to replace the whole unit with the new version and am so glad I did. The vacuum and container make this a no mess beard trimmer, go from stubble to short hair by adjusting the guide. Clean out container once a month for stubble trimming (more for beard trimming I am sure).

I would recommend this product.
