Product Reviews of Panasonic ER224S All-in-One Cordless Hair and Beard Trimmer (Silver)
Product Review: Excellent, very simple trimmer, easy to clean, good charge . . .
Summary: 5 Stars
I did not buy this product from Amazon, but through another retailer (cheaper). I did do my research first and came across all the reviews for this product on Amazon. Since it was less than $40, I decided to give it a shot. I own this product for roughly two months now. I am stationed overseas and decided to cough up the $40 vs. $8 haircuts once a week. It more than paid for itself in no time. I give myself a simple haircut once a week (just one length throughout). Some of the user comments on Amazon did not affect me and I felt compelled to tell about it:
1. Binding. Just keep your hair short and trim often and it won't bind. What else can you expect from a cordless trimmer. They do not put out power compared to a corded electric one. Even with the trimmer plugged in, it still will bind. I found this out the very first time I used it. My hair was about 1 1/2 inches long. Yes, it did bind (the first time). After keeping my hair at setting 8 (roughly 1/4 inch), it does not bind anymore.
2. Setting dial gets accidently turned. I never had a problem. Besides, the way I hold the shaver my thumb is permanently planted on the dial anyway so it will prevent it from turning. The other reviewers who had this problem may have been holding it the wrong way. It does require a little finesse, but you'll get the hang of it by the second or third time.
3. Ease of cleaning. The description does not lie when it says submersible. Easy to clean removable blades. Water does not affect this trimmer at all. Very good water-proof design by Panasonic.
4. Comes with a little oil bottle and small brush. I clean the thing every single time I use it so it's ready to go the next time. Just oil the blades after every use (Panasonic recommended oiling before and after). I found too much oil will make it harder to clean because the hair sticks more and water can't simply wash it out.
3. Overall this trimmer is good to go. Will save me a lot of $ during my 1 year deployment. Plus the good thing is I don't have to wait in line anymore to get a 5 minute haircut!!!
Hope this helps.
Product Review: FYI No Docking Station....
Summary: 4 Stars
If you look at the items description that there is no mention of the docking station which is great but, when you look at the customer attached pictures you`ll see that there is a pic with a docking station to charge the item. Since this is not an expensive item I did not read the description in detail and ordered the item and was suprise to see there is no docking station. I like the item however; not happy due to fact that the same item have a docking station .
Product Review: Finally found an excellent cordless trimmer that cuts my hair and trims my beard!
Summary: 5 Stars
I went through four cordless trimmers (Wahl, Remington) whose guards broke during travel, blades got dull, or batteries stopped holding a charge before I found this one - and I love it! I've had it for a year and a half now and use it several times a week for cutting my hair and trimming by beard. Very thoughful design throughout. The adjustable guard means you don't have to pack several guards when traveling. The blades ave stayed sharp. The batteries easily last for several cuts. The waterproof feature is nice for trimming in the shower. The guard is removable for close trims.Product Review: Flimsy
Summary: 1 Stars
This is an OK machine for awhile but the flimsy head broke about 8 months after I bought it. I tried to super glue a repair but that didn't work. I have sent three emails to customer service for Panasonic and each promises me an answer in 48 hours. I have been waiting for a month now. Lots of other just-as-good machines at this price that will last a lot longer with less aggravation. Skip this one.Product Review: Flimsy plastic guard
Summary: 2 Stars
Mechanically the shaver works just fine. However the guard is made of a flimsy plastic, is hard to remove from the shaver and breaks easily. Regardless of how well the shaver works if the guard breaks it's useless. I will not be purchasing another one.
