Product Reviews of Philips Norelco T980 Turbo Vacuum Trimmer
Product Review: A disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars
I had a Norelco trimmer for years, and it worked quite well. When it finally died, I bought this as a replacement. What a disappointment! The cover over the blade is either too thick, or poorly placed. Either way, the result is that no matter how close a trim I want -- that is, no matter what the number on trim closeness I use -- I get a mediocre result. It doesn't go close enough -- not nearly close enough. I wind up having to take off that cover, which makes it really hard to get an even trim. Very disappointing, especially after years of satisfaction with a trimmer from the same company.Product Review: A fine beard trimmer, with useful vacuum hair collection
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used this trimmer three or four times now, and it works well for me. I have a full beard, which I trim for length. I also trim the mustache, to keep it out of my mouth. The trimmer does all this just fine. The selection of lengths is good for me; I keep my beard fairly short (#6). I found the vacuum to be well worth while, to my surprise. It collects all the trimmings very well, and does not leave lots of stray hairs on my shirt.Philips Norelco T780 Rechargeable Vacuum TrimmerProduct Review: A good replacement
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my second trimmer. My first, a Remington was at least 15 years old and worked like a champ. It had it's problems like many of these in holding the desired length. But you learn to hold it tight so it won't change while trimming. I babied the batteries for years and quite honestly if you don't, with Ni-Cads you'll be replacing them or the trimmer a lot sooner.
I like this one and was concerned by some of the negative reviews. I don't use a lot of pressure when trimming so I haven't seen it change (shorten) while trimming. The vacuum feature is nice and works well. Others complained about getting up under the nose. This is no different from any others I've tried that use a blade guard.
I'd give it 5 stars if I had it longer. So far so good and has lived up to or beyond my expectations. I'm still on the first charge so time will tell. If it lasts half as long as my Remington I'll be happy.
Product Review: A good solid trimmer
Summary: 4 Stars
The trimmer is pretty good. It has an option to trim more close than other trimmers I have tried. And the vacuum works fine, keep things tidy. I trim once every week and it has been more than a month since I last charged my battery, so it seems to have a good battery life. I would recommend this to anyone.Product Review: A good trim.
