no surprises [SEP] This is my second beard trimmer.  Previously had a [...] that was powered by 3 AAA batteries.  Was very underpowered and I stopped using it.  The Norelco trimmer works much better.  It is more powerful and somewhat bigger.  I like that I can plug it in also.  So far after 3 trim jobs, the batteries are going strong without a recharge.<br />The turbo vac works fairly well.  Some hairs endup in the sink, but I expected this.  Quality is good, the adjustment for cutting length worked OK.  My only beef is the filter cup that hold the cut hair is a little clumsy to work with.  It is plastic, so you need to be careful when sliding it back on not to get it jammed or stuck.
