My boss and I both purchased this trimmer, I on his recommendation after he showed it to me, and the other recommendations herein. We both really like it, so count this as two positive reviews. I have been using it about 3 weeks. Pluses: 1. Cordless; 2. Looks good; 3. Works very well and simple to use. On this, I have never had a beard trimmer before, but used a hair scissors, and the trimmer does a very nice job of uniformly cutting whether at a close length, giving a shadow look, or at a longer length to give a clean cut look with uniform length. The trimmer is narrow enough to get at all hard to reach places. It cut my trimming time at least 75% compared to a hair scissors, so it not only does a nice job, but does it quickly. I think it is just a clever well engineered device. I thought about getting the Remington MB-300 with pop up trimmer, but am now glad that I did not as the MB-250 is just over 1/2 the price of the MB-300, it also can be used as a straight trimmer by easily removing the comb guard, and its one less thing to go wrong with the trimmer. Negatives: The only criticism I have is the trimmer doesn’t seem to keep a charge very long, at least compared to my Sonic Care Toothbrush which I can charge once and use 2 times a day (each time with a 2 minute cycle) for a week or more without re-charging. The trimmer certainly works fine two or three times and its no problem to leave it plugged in the wall outlet, but I don’t know how far I would get if on vacation without a plug in. Other comments: I bought it from Amazon merchant DiscountCentralOnline, who I never heard of before (after I could not find the trimmer at either Super Wal-Mart or Target in the store) and was very satisfied with this merchant who shipped the next business day, and the trimmer came appropriately packed in new condition. I would note that you make sure you are pointing the trimmer the right way with the blade facing the hair or it won’t cut well at all, very simple if you just look where the blade is, and read the instructions. Finally, I would still recommend a hair scissors for touch up to complement the trimmer.

This product is as advertised. It is great for getting a neat, close cut, the battery lasts long enough for a couple of long trims, it cleans easy, runs quietly, looks nice and feels solid. No problem with the self-lubricating blade or design. Well worth the money.

It’s a budget trimmer and its performs like one. I have used it a dozen or so times and I see performance deteriorations.

For 35 years my husband has been trimming his mustache with a tiny sissors. I said he should update his act. I bought him the above for

Father’s Day this year. Well let me say he looked like Hitler when he

finished!!!!! It is very sharp and determined and one would need practice

to make look good. So after that he just shaved the mustache off and we

decided that he looked younger without it. Loved the quality and the

way it pluggs into the wall. The little zippered case is handy too. So if you know what you are doing, I would say “go for it.”
