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.

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.

I love my Braun Beard Trimmer. The memory setting is easy to set and allows me to keep my beard at a precise length. The post trim clean up chore is a snap and the internal battery has a long life.

I would shave off my beard before I gave up my Braun Trimmer.

I like to keep just enough of a beard to look sexy. Sometimes I grow it in a little deeper, but I like to keep it looking just like I have been too busy and carefree to shave thoroughly. With the memory settings I can keep it looking the way I like week after week! When I want a rich beard I use a preset memory for that length. I also like the fact that it is made by Braun, a name I completely trust!

After recently growing a beard I knew that keeping it trim would be a chore. The Braun trimmer has been easy to use and has made that chore a simple one. I even use it to "buzz cut" my sons hair.

This shaver is sexy and all, and as all Braun products is I'm sure well made, but you can't get it wet! So you have to shave over the sink, and it makes a HUGE mess! Long story short: 30 seconds to shave, 5 minutes to clean up. That, plus the settings don't really work. Maybe get one with a vacuum, and one that you can take in the shower (and cheaper).

This is just what I wanted, it takes care of your beard and doesn't leave a mess.

When you have a beard there is no doubt that it is a chore to keep in shape. In the past I have tried the beard trimmer attachements on regular shavers but they just don't cut it.

This is a product that makes short work of any beard. Now, my hair is thicker than most, so it takes power to pull through without pulling at the hair. This little baby can make short work of the beard even when it is matted with dried in barbecue sauce and chilli dog. However, it's not so good with chewing gum. For that I recommend you stick to a scissors, cause the heads get all fugged up with pink gunge and it takes a lot of pickin to get it all out. I guess guys with beards should stop blowing bubble gum!

I find this little engine useful for all manner of clipping. When the kids get head lice all you need to do is whip off all their hair and hey presto, no more problem.

The wife even uses it (no not under her arms - she's natural) to trim the poodle and get all the crappy hair off its backside.

Whatever job you have to do with hair, from ear trimming to toe shaving, you can't go wrong with this little beauty. But it's no good for shearing sheep.
