Customer Review: Could Be Better
Summary: 3 Stars
I've owned an old Sharper Image Ultra Groomer for years, and it still works very well. However, the charge no longer holds, and I've since run out of blade oil. I should have just gotten more blade oil for it, but I figured I'd "upgrade" with a new groomer. The features of the GR-T300 seemed impressive, so I decided to give it a shot.
Within 2 months (just over 1 month, actually), the new groomer will not hold a charge, and even while plugged in, the motor will eventually die. Obviously a faulty unit, but surprising being that my old groomer is STILL cutting after years and years of use. I keep my hair buzzed tight, so I use these groomers for beard and head hair. The old Ultra Groomer cuts nice and close w/ the shortest attachment (3mm), but this new trimmer on its lowest setting does not cut as close. I also noticed I had to go over several times for it to cut completely. Since it's obviously a faulty unit, it may all be related, but cutting length probably has nothing to do with that.
The guard is quite large, so it makes it very difficult for trimming head hair around/behind ears, as well as facial hair (mustache) near the nose. You just can't get into those tight spots because of that.
The vacuum feature was definitely nice. It won't catch every hair, but it does make a big difference. The motor is fairly quiet and smooth, that is, when it was working correctly. It also charged up quickly, and the timer is a nice addition. Of course, that all means nothing when the product dies, as did mine.
Overall I'm disappointed in this product, as I expected much more from Sharper Image, especially since I've had that old trimmer for so long. I'll be sending it back, and I am hoping to get a refund instead of a replacement, being that the cutting performance was nothing special. Instead of replacing it, I will be purchasing some blade oil for the old one.
