Great beard and mustache trimmer

It's hard to find a trimmer that doesn't have critics for one reason or another. I ordered this one and crossed my fingers. This turned out to be a great decision. The first difference from my previous Panasonic trimmer is the lithium-ion battery. No matter which trimmer you choose, don't buy one that doesn't use a lithium-ion battery. This type of battery has a much longer lifespan as well as better charging capacity. I've been using this trimmer twice a week for a few months and am still working on the initial load. And if it runs out of power while I'm shaving, I can plug it in and it keeps working. I use a trimmer to trim my beard, mustache and eyebrows by 10mm and 6mm respectively. They looked straight cut after every use. I've seen complaints from people using the lowest settings of 0.4mm that the cropping is uneven. I suspect that no trimmer can consistently leave exactly 0.4mm bristles. However, I had no problems with it at all. In fact, one of the things I love about this trimmer is the extremely wide range of lengths to choose from. My wife sometimes uses it to cut her hair. She likes it too. So what don't I like? The only thing that disappointed me was that it didn't come with a storage box. If I travel with him, I must find my own. Considering how little it actually costs to pack a suitcase with something like this, that's a disappointing omission. All in all, despite the lack of a case, I can recommend this trimmer without reservation and will definitely buy it again.
