Hm. Marketing lies are not valued highly.

Protective sleeves are not fiberglass reinforced. You are clearly abs. Some cutters have glass fiber reinforced PA6-GF30 (nylon). But about marketing lies. False descriptions aren't lies, they're marketing! Buy one for $19 if you don't need other trimmer heads. There is no charge/battery indicator. wherever. It has a button, not a switch. Therefore, if the electronics fail, you will not be able to turn them off. You can't wet that thing. If you read the reviews, there were outages due to water ingress or other power issues. Mine didn't work until charged, which is odd as Li-Ion usually needs to be transported in a somewhat charged state. Although I have no idea how charged it was. Turned on as soon as I plugged it in. I guess I'll only charge it once a week or so. Or every 5th bet or who knows. Marking 15 V / 5.4 W. Charging slightly increased the temperature of the device. I had a ten year old Norelco that died or became a nuisance (was a Ni-MH battery). I loved it differently. I changed it to choice? Which was completely uncomfortable and abrupt. Norelko blades have been polished on both sides, making them wider, rounder and much more beautiful. The new Norelco blade is not that nice. Not as polished, with some edges but still much more comfortable than other trimmers. It also includes more land. A wider blade seems more polished to me. Maybe that's a choice, or maybe I just had bad luck with the part spec. I suspect it will last the specified number of years it is designed to fail. This is a trimmer. I'm happy with that. Just dismiss the marketers and focus on building good products. UPDATE: It's been a few months. Every time I use this (probably every week) I'm pleased that it's not as sharp as the Wahl and is comfortable. I never charged it :). My life changed when I once again had a seemingly reliable no-tricks razor. €19 would be good. I added a star because it's really much more practical. It doesn't have a stupid vacuum cleaner or built-in height adjustment. Just a good trimmer head and running time is all I need.
