 The best trimmer for a neat clean trim April 19, 2007

I owned the Norelco T870 for about 3 years. Recently it stopped working. I always considered the T870 a good trimmer, but its vacuum was not very efficient -- it would get 50-75% of the trimmed whiskers, while the rest ended up in the sink. I just got the T980 yesterday, and have used it only once -- so that this with a grain of salt -- but the vacuum on this model looks like 99%+ effective on the "turbo" setting. Everything else about this model seems to have been upgraded as well -- sharper blades, better appearance -- overall the quality seems better. If it continues to perform like this and lasts as long as the T870 did, I will consider this a terrific purchase.
Seems to work pretty well November 6, 2006

At first, people think this is some kinda sex-toy from the future. It's not. It's a beard trimmer. And a pretty good one to boot. If you're like me, you use your beard trimmer when you don't have much time in the morning before you have to take off for work. If you trim with this thing quickly on the 'normal' trimming mode, it'll catch maybe 75% of your hair in the vaccuum. However, when you enter warp speed (turbo mode) this thing is insane. It's really loud and sounds like it might explode, but it works great. It catches roughly 90-95% of hair in the vacuum in turbo mode. It's quite easy to take apart to empty out the little hair-catch-all and clean trimmer attachments or swapping them out (comes with a fine-line trimmer). The height adjustment doesn't seem quite as pronounced as my older Norelco trimmer (meaning you can obviously tell when it clicks into place...this one not so much) but it works nonetheless. I'm happy with it and recommend it to all who read this. Just be sure to take a minute out of your abnormally busy day to read the instructions and precautions and maintenance tips to prolong the life of this thing. That's what they're there for, after all.

I've had a regular Norelco beard trimmer for years and when the battery would no longer hold a charge I decided to give this one a try. I didn't really follow the vacuum or turbo descriptions but bought it anyway based on price. Boy am I glad I did! The vacuum makes trimming so much less of a mess. I use it also to buzz cut my hair and there is virtually no mess now where there used to be stubbles of hair everywhere before. I do have to empty the vacuum container a few times but less mess is far better. Great product. The description really doesn't do it justice. It really works!

THIS THING IS AWESOME. I AM NEVER SHAVING AGAIN. I just used it for the first time and have decided that I will never use a razor again. I am a guy who never likes to shave, I maintain the "few days of stubble" look throughout the week, and dread the day when I have to go through the hassle of lathering up & shaving. But this thing is so easy to use and it just cuts you down to whatever stubble-level you want in like 2 minutes!!!! PLUS it's got this vacuum-device on it that sucks up the stray hairs into a special chamber, which you then pull out and empty when you're done trimming. so to quote Wayne's World..."It SUCKS as it CUTS!" I LOVE IT!! I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS TRIMMER! I have never written a review for Amazon before and I've been shopping here for years! That's how fired up I am about my new purchase!!!!
GREAT TRIMMER--and i read all the reviews January 23, 2008

I had an old norelco that lasted 10 years, but the internal battery only lasted about 3 minutes before i finally threw it out...this trimmer is a huge step up with cutting and the vaccum. there is NO way for the guard to drop to a lower setting unless you turn the setting dial--i guess all the negative reviews where the setting dropped while in use were on a different model? works great and i am glad that i bought it...i am really picky and read all the reviews and was a bit skeptical...so im writing now to tell you that for under 40 bucks, you cant go wrong. This thing should last me a long time (it comes with a 2 year warranty) and will pay for itself becuase it allows me to keep the beard/goatee at my corporate job and fight the man!
