not too shabby [SEP] there have been a lot of complaints about the vacuum option of this trimmer let us be realisticits not a hoover it is a trimmer it catches most of the hairs which is a lot better than none of the hairs i have used it a few times so far and have not had the problem others complained about where the setting is changed mid trim just hold the thing below the dial and not right on the dial it gave a nice even trim all around i have had it for a couple of months used it times and still have not had to recharge itsuggested improvement a stand would have been great so i could put it in my medicine cabinet and not have it roll around my countertips for using i found you are better off with dry hair when the hairs wet it is harder for the vacuum to pull it in i also found that the vacuum works much better on longer hair then on shorter hair maybe the shorter hairs are too light and get blown around last but not least watch out for the settings the dial goes so i started with which was way too short i could have grown that beard from scratch in a couple of weeks also proved a little short for me be sure to start a lot higher than you think you need and work your way down if needed
