Product Reviews of Philips Norelco G370 All-in-1 Grooming System
Product Review: It's a Trimmer and it trims
Summary: 4 Stars
Trims well. Plasticky, would rather fewer piece of higher quality, but it gets the job done.Product Review: Item is great storage /plug is odd to use
Summary: 4 Stars
I gave this item to my husband for Christmas and he loves it. The only thing he doesn't like is the storage cup and the way you feed the electric plug adapter into the storage cup. Many times when you thing the bottom of the groomer is plugged in to be recharged it isn't. A minor frustration to get use to. He loves doing his sideburns,ear and nose hair trimming in between barber visits.Product Review: Junk! (Don't waste your money!)
Summary: 1 Stars
I still own a Norelco 20XL, but because the NiCad battery would no longer take a charge I decided to try the G370. Well, let me tell you, don't waste your money on this piece of junk! (Sorry Norelco!) To begin, using the beard/hair trimmer attachment is a joke. Trying to adjust it will cause the head assembly to come off because the mechanism that locks the adjustment in place is poorly designed. Also, compared to the 20XL, the G370 looks and feels like it's flimsily made--actually because it is! It appears Norelco set out to design something like the 20XL but provides more options while keeping the price down at where the 20XL sold for. The only thing I found going for the G370 is that Norelco is now using a NiMH battery instead of a NiCad battery. Why do I know this? Because I took the G370 apart and took its battery out and replaced the NiCad battery in my 20XL. Now I have my 20XL working and I threw away the piece of junk G370. By the way, you can use a NiMH battery in a device that is designed for a NiCad battery. However, always read manufacturer's warning label just in case. Just be aware that charging time will vary between a NiMH and NiCad.Product Review: Lasts less than 6 months
Summary: 1 Stars
This trimmer is very disappointing. According to the description, this trimmer is "self-sharpening" and has a full two-year warranty. We have had it for less than 6 months and a few of the blades were dull a few months ago and now it seems that they all are getting ready to go in the garbage. I'll admit, when we first got it, it seemed like a dream come true. I wonder if it is worth buying a new one EVERY 6 MONTHS. We have had trimmers before this that have lasted years and the only reason we got the Norelco is that they BEGAN to be dull after all that time and use. I'm very disappointed that this "SELF-SHARPENING" TRIMMER IS A LIE. We used it regularly maybe once a week. The attachments, when they worked, were wonderful but now it seems that we just have more trash. Back to looking for something that promises quality and delivers.Product Review: Looks cheap... and is in fact, cheap
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this a while back and began finding problems with it right away.
1) The trimmer cannot operate on A/C power alone. This means you can't plug it into the wall and use it. Instead, you have to charge the battery, then unplug it to use it.
2) About 2 weeks after I bought it, the beard trimmer attachment broke. The little tabs that hold it at different lengths snapped off so you can only use it on the shortest setting, and you have to hold the attachment on with your hand so it won't slide off. Clearly, I'm not the only one who this has happened to.
3) The nose trimmer has very dull blades. I don't normally use a nose trimmer nor do I really need one, but I have a cheap one that I got in my Christmas stocking that I've used a few times. Out of curiosity, I tried the attachment that came with this trimmer and was introduced to a new kind of pain. It was pulling at the hairs but not cutting them.
I contacted the a representative at Norelco to see if I they would send me a replacement beard attachment or if I could purchase just that attachment. They directed me to their service centers who wanted $10 for just that attachment. Including shipping, it would have cost me almost what I payed for the whole set.
My advice: pay a little more for something sturdier. That's what I plan on doing.
