Well, it certainly does SUCK!! [SEP] Well, it sucks and it cuts. This is a terrible product. I have owned several other norelco trimmers and this is the worst. The only reason I did not return it is because it will work with AC power. The last Norelco trimmer, the battery life become so short, so quickly that it would not even let me finish trimming my beard on one charge, which is quite pathetic.<br /><br />Pros: Uses AC power, okay triming attachment, vacuume is an okay idea<br />Cons: Loud, high pitched motor (particularly annoying in turbo mode), weak motor if used in standard mode, too easy to accidentally hit the on switch, guard is difficult to put on (doesn't allign easily), cheap plastic cover for hair collector broke after just a few uses.<br /><br />Bottom line: An okay design and a horrible execution. I will eventualy find something else to replace this. I don't understand all the positive reviews. My old Panasonic was awesome and lasted several years but died last year and I can't find a good replacement that will also use AC power.
