Product Reviews of Panasonic ER389K Rechargeable Beard and Mustache Trimmer
Product Review: Old Reliable
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my 2nd Panasonic ER389K Beard Trimmer in 12 years. My old one has worked so reliably that I was surprised when it refused to run one morning last month. Turns out the battery finally shorted out. Still using the original blade. Because I got such a good deal on the new one, I decided to buy new instead of replacing the battery, altough the trimmer would have operated just fine with a new battery.
After I used the new one, realized that I should have replaced the blade on the old one.
I've got a full beard and keep it trimmed close to my face (#3 setting on the trimmer length adjustment) so has gotten plenty of workout.

The Panasonic beard trimmer product is really good. This is my second one...I keep one in each house. The new compact wall AC plug-in adapter also gets rid of storing long wires. Product Review: Keep it simple

Panasonic ER389K Rechargeable Beard and Mustache Trimmer
Simple design, just keeps on ticking (and trimming) My first one lasted 10 yrs, just bought another.
Best features: Locking beard length selector; built-in charger
Shortcoming: Battery seems to be the NiCad kind, which has a 'memory,' meaning you must run it most of the way down before recharging or it will 'remember' to go only a short (running) time between charges - Lithium type would be better in this regard.
Product Review: Great Product / Excellent Price
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using this trimmer for 20 years, I am a hairstylist, have used many trimmers, and this is the best, it lasts the longest, easy to use (cordless) and charge, I just hope they never discontinue this trimmer, I have had them last for 3 years, when they dont charge anymore or the blade gets dull, I just buy a new one, because the price is so reasonable.
Product Review: Avoid this one, Panasonic need to pay attention to this product.
Summary: 1 Stars
It went in the trashcan today. I bought this trimmer about 3 months ago and the battery is already more or less dead. It will not charge enough to make it trough one trimming, it was in the end only running for about a minute on a charge. I used it while traveling and not a whole lot as it was starting to fail on me after a short while.
Other problems with this one is the power contact that sort of springs out from the body, it's quite annoying to plug it in and as the fit is so tight with the power plug you can't really see if it's connecting or if the contact has retracted back into the trimmer again.
There is not light indicating that its charging or if charging is done, pretty lame as even the cheapest battery charger can do that these days.
I also find the blades in need of constant oiling or they would slow down and sometimes even make the trimmer completely halt.
I used to have an older Panasonic model similar to this one, it lasted me 10 year before it finally gave up, that model was the reason why I trusted this brand, no more. If had know that todays quality and product improvement had gone in reversed mode I never would have bought it. In the future I'll be looking for a Norelco or a Philips. Panasonic should stick to making flat screen TV's.
Avoid this model, it will end up in the garbage bin quickly.
