Panasonic Beard & Hair Trimmer (ERGB60K)

Easy to use, relatively quiet, waterproof for easy cleaning. Premium feel. Can use while charging if battery runs out (did on 4th use). Pays for itself after a few uses. Read the manual (short) for proper use (apply the oil) and technique (criss cross towards crown). Longest setting is quite long and shortest quite short but not too much. Will make a mess of cut hair like any clipper - prepare the nearby area, tissue around neck (or shirtless) and shower afterwards. A bit difficult around the ears (due to width) but possible to give oneself a full haircut. Remember to attach the guard before using - otherwise fool proof!

I bought this to replace an old Philips trimmer that still worked, but was heavy and loud. The Philips had a fan inside to suck clippings into a container and prevent much of the mess from clipping. This clipper is quieter and seems better at cutting some of the more awkwardly-angled hairs in my beard. It would be better if it had a way of catching the hairs, but that's nothing that can't be fixed by just using it over a surface that can easily be swept or washed clean. It's not immediately apparent how to get in to clean hairs out of this thing. I suppose I could RTFM, but who needs to these days? One feature I do like is that the guide can be set to your preferred depth-of-cut and then quickly removed to expose the blades for any detailing. The guide can then be replaced with the same depth-of-cut to carry on. No need to twist between 0 and whatever you prefer (4, in my case)...

Had it for a month now. Trimmed my beard and cut my hair with i, had no problem. One bad thing about it is for the hair one, lowest you could go to is 11 mm which was kinda bad but I am okay with it. Overall it works just fine.
