cordless or corded snipping [SEP] i was looking at this as an extension to the asin the charging led in the handle does not shut off when the unit is charged it is lit the entire time it is plugged in little annoying considering almost very rechargeable device will let you know when it has completed charging it does not charge at the same time you are using it while plugged in not really a big deal just something to be aware of only the head portion can be rinsed the base battery can not get wet again not really a big deal hair trimmings get stuck in the lubricant grease inside the head not a lot only a few very small pieces but if you are a perfectionist it can be a little aggravatingi am expecting this will also work well to trim out the tufts of overgrown toe fur that my cat gets i can and do trim with scissors periodically but it takes a bit of time due to being careful the longer it takes the more annoyed he gets using this i should be able to trim the fur much quicker so he gets less annoyed less annoyed cat less annoyed human we both winupdate dec months later and i am still using this does a fantastic job of keeping the hair around my ears trimmed just enough so that it is not touching or rubbing very quick and quiet it still irks me a little bit that it does not tell you when charging is complete the other nitpicks i have gotten overi cannot say how well it works on trimming toe fur on a long haired cat the shaver is in one room and when i see that he needs a trim we are in a different one i did use it once to snip out some matted up fur and it did a decent job
