Product Description

Amazon.com Review

With stainless-steel blades and a convenient built-in plug-charging system, this beard and mustache trimmer keeps facial hair well groomed and under control. With six length settings, you have precise control over trimming, avoiding such accidents as bald patches and uneven beard length. For closer trimming, the guide comes off completely.

Recharging is convenient--simply slide the retractable plug into its charging position, and plug it into the wall for easy charging and storage. You'll get 45 minutes of usage out of an eight-hour charge. The trimmer includes the trimming guide, a cleaning brush, and oil for lubricating the blades. It comes with a limited warranty. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

4.0 out of 5 stars I should have stuck with this one..., September 9, 2001

So here's the deal: I owned a Panasonic ER389K for about two years and it worked great. Then the battery died and it is not replacable. I thought, "Forget this, I'm getting a dual mode trimmer." I ordered the Remington MB40. Well actually two. One of the pins that holds on the depth gauge broke off even before I got to use the first one. It turns out that if the depth is set to "0" then there is at least a reduced possibility of breaking these pins. Then I got the second one, gingerly handled the depth gauge as if it might break, charged it up and began trimming. I was immediately impressed with the power. I was not impressed with how close of a trim I could get. But I discovered that if I used the mustache trimmer (about 1/2" wide) I could get as close a trim as I got with the Panasonic. Very tedious. After a couple of weeks of this I ordered a new Panasonic. It's less expensive, the depth gauge will not break, I can get a much closer trim, the charger is built in, it's smaller, it's much simpler to use, and loads quieter. THAT'S 7 THINGS BETTER! I decided that I could do without the corded feature - I don't like cords anyway.
I don't believe that there are any trimmers that are water proof - that would be a useful feature for cleaning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, January 17, 2002

This review is from: Panasonic ER389K Rechargeable Beard and Mustache Trimmer (Health and Beauty)

I've owned two Norelco beard trimmers. One lasted three years and wasn't fixable when it broke. The other lasted almost 2 years, was noisy and didn't do a nice job trimming, or shaping. This trimmer is excellent. It's compact, quiet, trims uniformly and can trim closely to the skin when shaping my beard. I was also pleased to see that the blades are replaceable. The built in plug for charging is very convenient. I'm very pleased with this product and highly recommend it.

Simple, sturdy, effective. No cords, travels well.
Favorably priced. Both my previous trimmers seem
like junk by comparison. This one doesn't snag or
pull hairs, and it gets the job done quicker too.
