Beard Trimmer - vacuum trimmer, mens grooming


Click here for more information
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 purchased this to replace a 6 year old Panasonic in which the batteries would no longer hold a charge. It would seem to me that Panasonic has discontunued their line of Trimmers...and perhaps even sold this design to Norelco. I like this design because it is ONE-PIECE and does a very good job. I don't want a drawer full of attachments like some of the other brands.



I was very happy with the Panasonic...but I am happier with the Norelco for 3 things. 1) the Lithium Ion Batteries stay up much better. The older Panny had NiCads which lose a large percent of their charge, even when not in use. 2) The Norelco has higher RPM's and just works quicker. 3) The Norelco vacuums much better...not perfect, but better....probably due to the higher RPM's.

Minor quibble others have mentioned: The Panasonic had a removable clippings drawer you slide out and can take to waste basket and tap out the clippings. The Norelco is more of a side-door that does not come off...so it is a bit harder to empty.

I bought this to keep my facial hair at a constant 5 'oclock shadow kinda look. It works really well.





Another review on here complains that the guard is pointed and you'll end up stabbing yourself. I'm not the lease bit careful when I shave and I haven't had a single problem with it. Never been stabbed. This thing works like a charm and I highly recommended it. If I were to lose it I'd definitely get another one just like it.

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. This one, nary a hair. Everything went where it was supposed to be, into the vac stream and into the catch bin. Much neater than the other.



I preferred the outer ring for adjusting the depth of the trimmer to this smaller internal rotating adjustment, but it still works fine.



Not any louder than the previous model despite having a better vacuum system.



Looking forward to using this for much longer than the other ones, since it no longer has the same design flaw for where it stores the clippings.

The vacuum works well, if not perfectly and the trimmer is easily adjustable and trims well. The vacuum systems misses enough hair that it's still beneficial to trim over the sink, but it contains things enough that it can all be easily washed after. Without it, the hairs end up all over the place. The battery life is fantastic, the build is solid, and the adjustment settings are nicely gradated.

This trimmer does the job well. It is comfortable, has adjustable lengths, and creates a great stubble look. I have had it around a month, and I haven't had to charge it yet, using it every 2 days. I would definitely recommend this trimmer. It's a nice bonus that it has a vacuum that works well if you don't have a lot of hair you are trying to trim. - Vacuum Trimmer - Mens Grooming - Cordless - Trimmer

Hair Clipper - beard trimmer, cordless


Click here for more information
I was given a beard trimmer for Christmas with all sort of attachments. However, it was a terrible trimmer and was constantly catching my beard hairs, but that's for another review. The point is I needed a trimmer that was more powerful and didn't catch my facial hairs as the one I had gotten for Christmas did.



After quite a lot of on-line research I came across the Panasonic ER224. It looked great from the pictures and reviews, and since I've had good luck with Panasonic in the past, I decided to go ahead and buy it. I bought it from Amazon for only $32 with shipping and had it a few days later.



I usually only shave once a week, but I'll still trim my goatee and mustache as needed to keep it looking well groomed. By the time I had received this trimmer, I was in need! The first thing that struck me was it was much larger than I had expected. The pictures certainly don't do it justice. Then I realized that this trimmer is actually designed to be used as a trimmer for both facial and top of the head hair. I have used it on my own facial hair, and then used it on my 2 yr. old son's head.



What I liked:

1. The entire trimmer is washable. However, you must regularly oil it to keep it in good working order.

2. There are 14 separate length adjustments, even though the dial will show the max numbered length is 20.

3. Very sturdy and well built trimmer.

4. When on, the trimmer adjustment is locked down, and takes a great amount of force to push the trimmer guard down. If you are able to push the guard down, it immediately turns off the trimmer. Excellent safety feature, for your hair that is!

5. The trimmer guard is removable, and beneath it is a smaller trimmer that can be extended to be activated and is to be used to help get at those smaller and hard to reach areas, like under the nose, etc.

6. Relatively quiet operation.

7. Quick charging.

8. Cordless.



What I don't like:

1. The smaller trimmer beneath the trimmer guard works, but is slightly better than the one located on my electric shaver.



Everyday Use Experience:

As I've said I used this trimmer right away on my goatee and was very impressed. It didn't catch any of my hairs once and that's very important to me! The guard was larger than I expected, but works great, and that's all that matters. The trimmer comes with a small tube of oil and a hair brush, which I thought was helpful. I also was impressed that it was washable, however, the brush thus far has been adequate. Especially since it's no problem to remove the guard. After just a few passes with the trimmer, my goatee looked great. That is a good thing about having such a large guard, you only need to go over your beard a few times.



Then I used it on my son's head. His hair was growing over his ears and my wife was at work. So I sat him in the bathtub, turned the dial to a 5 and began... Then I left my wife a message telling her what I'd done. She came home, and the first words out of her mouth was, "What have you done???" However, I thought it went great. Granted his head was all one length, and maybe a little shorter than I was expecting... But besides all that, the trimmer itself worked flawlessly! I was able to trim his hair and again no snags or pulling. He was quite content to let me use it on him as it is a rather quiet trimmer anyways. I have not used the trimmer on my own head because I'm not that daring.



Conclusion:

If you are looking for a great facial hair trimmer, or any other body part trimmer for that matter, then I highly recommend you buy this trimmer. Again, I have not used it on my own head, so I can only attest that the trimmer works great on my son's head, but don't ask my wife... However, that had nothing to do with the trimmer itself, just my ability to use it and choose the correct length, but that's a different story.

The shaver has an overall Panasonic attractiveness.

I hve owned previous similar models and all were first rate in quality.

In fact the most recent lasted YEARS.. i even replaced the batteries which were technically not replaceable because i did not want to let it die.



There is one major drawback to this shaver. The cutting head is not at the frontmost position when you have the guard on. Meaning if you are shaving tight curves on your body then it actually does not perform well since the shaving head is at mid point inside the plastic guard. I think this flaw is a major one but i do use it still, considering. Otherwise the water repellant build and battery life/looks/performance is fine. I do orry about the flimsy plastic guard and the seemingly flimsy notch that holds the height position. So far it has not failed but it could be a BIG BIG problem if you are shaving and it pops to a lower position suddenly.



I recommend this but i also expect more from Panasonic. - Beard Trimmer - Cordless - Hair Clipper - Panasonic
