Not as good as its predeccesor. [SEP] My old T965's battery gave up after 4 faithful years of service.  The problems with the new T980 are: the new body is a hard slick plastic which is more difficult to grip (slips out of the hand); the small/fine trimmer is now an attachment. That means you've got this small trimmer head that you have to keep in the medicine cabinet or when you travel in a safe place where you won't lose it; the depth indicator is hard to read and the numbers aren't always centered in the tiny viewing window.  Philips has now replaced the old standard coiled power cords with specialized adapters.  This means when you're on vacation you've got to bring the AC adapter for your face trimmer and then bring a different AC adapter for your beard trimmer.<br /><br />Pros: It looks real pretty.  It cuts well.
