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 1 hour to fully recharge. An LCD screen shows charging status and signals when the unit needs to be recharged. Comfortable in the hand and handsomely encased in plastic with a lacquered, metallic 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

5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't get better than this!, September 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Norelco T-990 Acu-Control Beard and Mustache Trimmer with LCD, T990 (Kitchen)

I purchased this beard trimmer after comparing several different models from Norelco. The features that convinced me that this was the one to buy included the lifetime self-sharpening chromium-steel blades, nine-position blade adjustment, one-hour recharge, and the two-year warranty with 60-day money back guarantee. As for the actual performance, like I said, it doesn't get any better than this! After unpackaging the trimmer, I plugged it in, and exactly to specifications, I was ready to go within the hour (most others require a 7 hour charge). The trimmer is fairly quiet and with the Acu-Control guide, it glides smoothly over the face and provides a very even trim. I use it every other day and have been on the original charge for 2 weeks! The clean up is quick with the flip up blade and small brush supplied. The trim guard pops right off, which allows it to be run under water for quick cleaning as well. Last but not least, the detail trimmer works great to trim around the mouth and to clean up the edges of your beard (I even use it to trim my nose hairs and the fuzz around the ears). One final feature to consider is that you can use this trimmer as a corded trimmer in case of the battery dying in the middle of a trim; others can't say that. Overall, I have to say that I'm very satisfied with this purchase. Well built with a comfortable grip!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great trimmer. Well thought features. Worth the price., May 24, 2003

The features on this beard timmer are well thought which makes the whole package rather satisfying.

The depth selection mechanism works via rotating ring which means that pressure on the guard won't change the cutting height (like my old trimmer). The flexing guard is very comfortable and natural feeling.

The unit charges in an hour and holds its charge well. A long overdue trim (from furry to chic) didn't even register on the battery meter.

I don't find much use for the secondary fine trimming head. It does cut closer than the primary cutter so you can clean up the trimmed areas without having to shave afterwards.

While not the cheapest, this trimmer is certainly worth the price. It has a solid feel and an excellent set of features. Trimming with this Norelco is a very satisfying experience.

This review is from: Norelco T-990 Acu-Control Beard and Mustache Trimmer with LCD, T990 (Kitchen)

Trimming my goatee and sideburns has been something I HATE doing for a long time. Even with trimmers I've had a really hard time doing a good job. Either it would be uneven or the attachments on the trimmer would eventually break, or....you name it.

This Norelco trimmer makes things VERY easy. It cuts through my facial hair like it's not even there. It does a great job on my sideburns, and it's extremely easy to clean. The charge in the battery lasts forever. I have used it about twice every week since I got it a couple of months ago, and I'm still on the original charge I gave it when I first got it. It's a great machine.
