Product Reviews of Panasonic ER224S All-in-One Cordless Hair and Beard Trimmer (Silver)
Product Review: Caution when using this product .....
Summary: 2 Stars
ASIN:B000KEAA2Y Panasonic All-in-One Cordless Hair and Beard Trimmer Washable Grooming Trimmer - Silver [Model ER224S]--
While the cordless feature is convenient this device does NOT provide the precision necessary (especially on short men's cuts) and will not cut well without pressing it further into the hair and then it will TAKE OFF MORE THAN YOU BARGAIN FOR !!!!! Have tried to work with this device more than once without success... and there is more maintenance required of this device than the device noted below.
I have used the remington that have combs that need changing out with no problems whatsoever. This is the one that you can get from the drugstore. Remington HC-8017 Precision 18 Piece Haircut Kit Corded. Even if you are an individual trying to use this on your own head for a quick trim, there is much less chance of an error with the remington.
Anyone with suggestions on how to use these new models with the dial a combs- I'm all ears...
Product Review: Clean & comfortable
Summary: 5 Stars
The bulbous design really does make this trimmer easier to hold and use, and I *love* that it is submersible so I can bring it into the shower with me to shave and clean it (instead of getting a 'vacuum' trimmer which many people have complained about). I do need to be careful about making sure that it is on the right setting before turning it on, though.Product Review: Comb is not warrantied
Summary: 1 Stars
4/1/11: I just called Panasonic warranty to verify whether or not the comb falls under the warranty, since numerous people have complained that the comb breaks easily and that Panasonic does not honor a warranty on it. I was told by someone in the Phillipines that the comb is not warrantied, "because it is a replaceable part."
However, the warranty on this product is now allegedly 2 years, so you will now have 2 years during which the broken comb will not be warrantied.
Product Review: Completly useless
Summary: 1 Stars
I have a 20 year old panasonic trimmer which is made in Japan.
I decided to buy a new one after the battery died.
My old trimmer does a much better job than this new one (which is made in China ...)
I used the blade without the plastic adapter, and the blades get clogged with hair after a second or two, and then the blades become completely useless.
I couldn't return this item because I used it once, and amazon won't take it back ...
I don't expect them to sell it to another guy, but it kinda sucks to get a $5 refund on it ...
Product Review: Cordless only and 120v only.
Summary: 3 Stars
Amazon's description says this is the corded/cordless type, but mine didn't come with a cord at all--just a wall-mounted charging block onto which the trimmer snaps. I was disappointed it could not be used corded for when the battery has run down and you don't even have 5-10 minutes to give it a quick charge before using.
If you don't have a countertop-level outlet in your bathroom, charging it could be inconvenient since the trimmer must snap onto the charging block, and the charging block must plug directly into an outlet--so if your outlet is a foot off the floor, you'll have to bend down there to plug/unplug it, and it takes some effort to get the trimmer on and off, rather than simply resting in a cradle.
I was also disappointed to see a phial of lube as I was hoping the blades would never need to be oiled. I suppose it's necessary since the trimmer is the wet/dry type.
My final complaint is that the charging block is for North America only (120V). It will not work on rest-of-world 220V power.
