Product Reviews of Philips Norelco T780 Rechargeable Vacuum Trimmer
Product Review: Great Trimmer!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this trimmer to replace an Andis cordless trimmer that finally pooped out. This trimmer is fantastic! Head and shoulders better than the Andis. The vacuum works great and empties easily. It even feels good as it draws cool air through your beard. It is very efficient at getting most all the hairs in its path. My Andis would miss a lot. The battery life is fantastic. I use it every day and I'm still on the first charge, about three weeks, and it's still going strong. I would highly recommend this trimmer.Product Review: Great Trimmer, Leaves your Bathroom Clean and Works just Right
Summary: 4 Stars
As usual great service when buying directly from Amazon.
This review is mostly a comparison to old trimmers I have used such as one that charges on a base and one that runs off 2 AA batteries.
Positives
1. The charger is just a cable that plugs into the bottom. I personally hate bases as I have drawers and other storage and this allows me to pull it out real quick to charge the couple of hours it needs and then I just bundle it up and put it away.
2. The Battery lasts a long time, even with the vacuum this thing just keeps going. Should easily last me a month as I have goatee and mustache versus a full beard.
3. The vacuum does a good job and picks up most hairs so there is minimal cleanup. Usually I just blow on the head to get rid of loose hairs so they don't end up in my drawer.
4. The size adjustment is quick and doesn't require separate attachments.
5. It gives you a great look, it gives a nice even cut and I will be using this for a few years.
Negatives
1. If your trimmer batteries are dead it still won't run even when plugged in. The trimmer turns off the charging port when you press the on button. The more expensive model allows this so it's just a up sell not a technical limitation.
2. This device is huge compared to most other trimmers I have tried. For the most part this isn't too bad but it's sort of difficult to trim my mustache under my nose but with a little practice it isn't hard.
3. It can get clogged when doing longer hair as the vacuum is smaller so either cut long hair in two steps or just keep cutting because it still cuts just fine even when the vacuum is clogged..
Overall I compared this to the higher end model that has the smaller trimmer attachment and I would say get this plus a tiny Remington trimmer as I feel these are too fat for delicate work.
UPDATE: I purchased this item June 2009 and gave it a full charge. I trim my mustache and goatee regularly with this and I have not charged it since new and it performs perfectly. In regards to durability, everything works fine and I have no issues with it.
UPDATE (6/15/10): Working like new, I've only charged it like 3 times and I am a hairy guy. Trimming goatee, mustache, and keeping that scruffy look without issues.
Product Review: Great for beards!
Summary: 5 Stars
I grew my beard 7 months ago and I was having a real problem keeping it trimmed. I was using my Remington Trimmer, but I couldn't keep the hair length uniform. I read the reviews for this trimmer and it works just as advertised - the adjustable lengths keep the beard uniform and the vacuum keeps both my face, neck and the bathroom countertop free from the cut hairs.
Additionally, as I am bald, I use it to keep remaining hair on my head trimmed. It is really worth the price.
Product Review: Great for the money
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the second Norelco I have had and it works great for the money. Vacuum lacks some but I didn't buy it because of that - that was a perk.Product Review: Great product!
Summary: 4 Stars
Works great, but it does not vacuum every hair, so you still should use above a sink. Does catch most of them though. Charge lasts a long time and haven't had any problems with the length setttings. It stays at the setting without slipping. (as I read in other reviews) Cuts hair without pulling and seems to still be as sharp as the day I got it. It cuts down on the mess and is much easier to clean up after.
