This trimmer seems more solidly-made and feels better in my hand vs. the competing Norelco products. It also is much quieter and smoother operating, and seems to cut more quickly (though I'm comparing a new Panasonic vs. an older/used Norelco, but I could swear that the Norelco never cut as fast as the Panasonic). I also like the pop-up trimmer which is much simpler to deal with vs. Norelco's swappable cutting heads (the plastic tabs on the Norelco's has the habit of easily snapping off). The adjustable cutting length dial works great with solid/definitive clicks between settings (and the solid comb seems less prone to break vs. the hinged and ready-to-break-apart one on my old Norelco). I also like the cutting range of 1-10mm with comb "A" and 11-20mm with comb "B". The longest setting I use is 10mm so it means that I never have to swap combs (those that cut longer than 10mm do may not find this a plus). However, I am deducting a star from the Panasonic for its few negatives. First it uses an Ni-MH battery vs. the newer-tech Li-Ion battery so the Panasonic run times and battery life aren't gonna be as good as they could be. There's little excuse for Panasonic not to have by now upgraded a premium item like this to the latest and greatest battery technology. The pop-up trimmer is a bit too wide to fit into tight spaces (vs. the one on my previous Norelco). And the battery lights (why are there three when one would do the job?) only indicate when the unit is charged - it doesn't provide a low battery indication like on my old Norelco (or the newer one's too). Again for a premium item like this the three LED's should be red, yellow & blue colored (or some other color combo) and also operate like a battery gauge. Finally, and not a real deal killer, is the need to oil the blades. Conclusion - a high-quality product (especially vs. the competing Norelco's) that is hampered a bit by the lack of some higher-tech bells & whistles that it deserves to have at this price point (especially vs. the much cheaper Norelco's).Read full review

Great product, however, it had definitely been used. It looked like it had been attempted to clean, but there was definitely thick black hairs in the razor.

Good trimmer features, that is easy to adjust trim length. Also usable for hair trims. Appears to have good battery life on a charge, and Panasonic build quality. Fits well in hand. Easy to clean.

I had been one of those all-in-one trimmers you find at the stores for about $20 or so and this is way way better. Its quiet and is very nice quality and trims effortlessly. My only wish is that it had some kind of shaver attachment and its cant do any kind of detail trim work but for trimming down and body hair its great.

This works well, and I'm quite happy with it. The 3 LEDs are odd. They are either all on when charging, or all off when full. A charging stand would have been nice. The NiMH holds a charge for months, unlike the older Panasonic I had. The guards are better made and don't have that problem of breaking like the older model either. The body hair guard is very close and does seem to pull hair easily, so really just avoid using it. For longer lengths it works well though. Hair still builds up in the guard, but easier to remove that some others. The adjustable guard just has a space it can collect in. There's no way around that.
