• "This thing is louder than one of my palm sanders, literally."
• "It is soooooo loud that I almost feel like ear plugs are necessary."

• "Clip-ons are cheaply made and will scratch you with pointy edges if you are not careful."
• "The trimmer pulls and tugs at my facial hair even with regular cleaning."
• "It's very hard to put and remove the add-on clips for levels which is extremely frustrating and time-consuming."

Battery & Charging

Pros:

• "The big plus is that you can operate the trimmer as a corded device if the battery goes dead."
• "The battery charge lasts long enough to do all the vital areas in a single charge."
• "The battery is phenomenal on it as it lasts very long."
• "It's strong with the cord attached or just on battery power. You can barely notice the difference between it being plugged in or not."
• "Holds a charge well."
• "The battery lasts a decent amount of time."
• "The battery in all other models always dies at some point or take forever to charge eventually. Not the case here!"

Cons:

• "The only problem is that the cord to recharge the trimmer is very thin and any small tug or movement breaks the wires causing the trimmer to not be able to charge."
• "It's cheap and it feels like it. You get what you pay for. Sure, it works, but if it is unplugged for any amount of time, the battery dies fast."
• "The battery life on this thing is horrid! Used it 2-3 times and it needs a charge...and when I say it needs a charge, I mean it's DEAD!"
• "Unit does not charge, plugged in or not."
• "The first I didn't open for about 6 months before trying it. It wouldn't even turn on."
• "Rechargeable battery only lasted 3 months!"
• "The battery just stops holding a charge. and unfortunately, you can't just use it while it is plugged in. So it becomes completely useless."
