Wear your glasses when setting the desired length

The product is excellent and works perfectly. My only real issue is with how you set how long you want the hair to be on your beard. If you a shortsighted, and aren't wearing your glasses, it is very difficult to set the length. The first time I used it I set it on .2mm instead of 2mm.

Pros

Surprisingly good power from a battery operated product.

Cons

Setting length can be tricky for those without 20/20 vision using it for the first time.

Close beard trim

It works well but be careful about the trim measurement: you can trim too short accidentally, but then again, it will grow back.

Pros

It works

Cons

It can work too well

Fantastic Beard Trimmer

Upgraded from an ols Phillips Beard Trimmer that lasted a good 5years. This trimmer performs equally as good as previous, and does a great job. Like the many settings available for stubble length, and like the fact don't have to swap over combs. One minor difference to older trimmer is the comb on new trimmer is further away from the cutting blades so a bit trickier to trim around nose area, would of preferred the comb closer to blades. Fantastic product and highly recommend
