Rating : - Great beard shaver
I researched all of the Norelco beard trimmers before deciding to buy on Amazon. I read all of the reviews and noted some of the negatives like noise and the fact that the shaver doesn't "vaccum" all of the whiskers. I must say I haven't seen much of these negatives. The trimmer works great and beats my old Braun which did not collect whiskers. I would say that 90% of the whiskers are collected in the compartment rather than on my bathroom counter. The noise in my opinion is to be expected given the cutting and vacuum action being performed. I especially like the carrying case and accessory trimmer that are included with this model. The only negative I have noted is that the trimmer settings are not real precise. If I want a real clean look I have to go all the way down to the lowest setting and my goatee needs trimming about every 3 days. For the guys who are able to keep their beards a little longer this is probably not much of an issue.

I highly recommend this shaver if you are wanting a clean, neat trim.
