Product Description

Amazon.com Review

With a six-setting memory switch, this 5-watt trimmer ensures consistent beard and mustache lengths from trim to trim. It provides two speeds for careful trimming and the extra power needed to handle heavy-growth areas. With the distancing comb removed, the head pivots so that a narrow trimmer replaces the regular cutting head and permits precise outlining of beard, mustache, and sideburns. The memory switch can be set to trim hair to lengths of approximately 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 16 millimeters. Once the memory switch is set, it prevents the trimmer from turning on until you choose the proper length. The trimmer functions either with or without its cord. It fully charges in one hour for 30 minutes of cordless operation, works worldwide on 110- to 240-volt systems, and comes in a soft travel case. It carries a 30-day, full-refund guarantee and a two-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

4.0 out of 5 stars Fairly idiot-proof, January 8, 2002

Although it makes the on-off action a little strange (until you get used to it) the best feature of this trimmer is the "memory" function which prevents it from switching on unless it is at your correct pre-set beard length. Having more than once given myself an unsightly shaved "stripe" up my chin during a sleepy trimming session, I value this feature highly. Other than that it trims efficiently and quietly, and comes with a rechargeable battery with automatic switchable voltage for travelling.

About a year ago, I decided to join the goatee crowd. After using a Philips trimmer and trying to use a Wahl beard trimmer- I was about to go back to being clean shaven.

This unit is well made (even if it's made in China) and comes with a decent case. Battery life is excellent- I only have charged it probably 4 times. I trim almost every other day to maintain a shorter beard.

The plastic length adjuster is solid and repeatable. Another reviewer indicated that it was cheap- compared to the Philips and Wahl- it's BMW quality.

On another note- my son likes to have his hair shaved relatively short. He HATES the Wahl clipper we own and prefers to use the Braun trimmer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awkward and stupidly overdesigned, March 29, 2001

This is a terrible trimmer, and I say that with experience in having owned one Wahl and three Norelco units. The Braun is clumsy, difficult to adjust and tricky to turn on, which involves pulling the beard guard up just enough to activate the on switch at your beard length setting without pulling the guard off of the trimmer since there is no stop. It has a swiveling head which means that the head is not firmly attached to the trimmer. When you pull up too far on the beard guard to turn it on or change the length setting you can pull off not only the guard but the head also, which then drops down on the floor or if you are unlucky on your foot. It is sharp and it hurts, by the way. The Braun does not do the fine even trimming that the Norelco does, but leaves sort of randomly long hairs. The beard guard is bulky so you cannot get as close to your nose and ears as you might like. Compared to the top line Norelco it is a dismal failure but at least you won't have to worry about it too long since you will doubtless break the head by inadvertently pulling it off with the beard guard. Then you can go out and by a good trimmer.
