Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Perfect for precise, even styling of beard and mustache lengths from stubble to goatee to medium to full, this trimmer has a ring that extends or retracts the cutting blades to nine exact lengths: from 0.06 to 0.72 inch. Key to performance is the guide comb, which flexes and adjusts automatically to facial contours, ensuring that chin and jaw line are cut the same length as cheeks. Self-sharpening chromium-steel blades last the lifetime of the trimmer. The head is hinged for easy cleaning without disassembly. The trimmer works either cordless or with its power cord and needs to be plugged in for 10 hours to fully recharge. An indicator light shows when it's recharging. Comfortable in the hand and handsomely encased in plastic with a lacquered, metallic-silver finish, the trimmer comes with a nylon travel pouch and carries a 60-day, full-satisfaction, money-back guarantee and a two-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

4.0 out of 5 stars Norelco delivers!!!!, July 17, 2002

The 860T is all that Norelco says it is. I was worried that the "Acu-Control system" would be fragile and gimmicky, but Norelco has proven me wrong! This trimmer delivers a precise, consistent shave every time. It is easy to use and the controls have a solid feel to them giving you complete control over your beard and moustache. I also like that Norelco gives you the option of corded or cordless shaving with the 860T. This is as good as it gets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, August 1, 2002

Fantastic product. I've been using a Norelco trimmer for years, I finally had to replace it because the battery gave out (after about 6 years of almost daily use). The slight bend in the unit is a smart design decision, it prevents it from rolling like the earliar models. The guard is an interesting change as well, it basically serves to comb the beard after it's cut. I would highly recommend this line of trimmers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the last one, July 31, 2003

This review is from: Norelco T860 AcuControl Beard and Moustache Trimmer (Health and Beauty)

I bought this trimmer, without any shopping around, to replace my previous Norelco after it died on me one morning. Two huge improvments in the newer model: One, the beard guide works much, much better than the fixed guide on the old model. Second, if you do find yourslef with a dead mattery one morning, you an just plug the trimmer in and it will run as it charges. Very handy. There are a number of other improvements as well, like the addition of the retracting moustache trimmer, that make it that much more convenient to use.

It's not perfect. Once I finish trimming with the guide, I usually have to snap it off and use the bare trimmer to taper the bottom of my beard at my neck. Those who trim more closely than I do won't have this problem. All in all, a good product and a good value.
