Customer Reviews

a perfect shave
i just got this shaver today and found it very very pleasing as it is doing a perfect job with cutting quite fast and completly cleaning the places where it pases through and its vacuum is taking lots of hair. in todays standards its really cheap and believe me it worths the price. So go for it!

Changes length setting by itself
Before ordering this trimmer I read through the reviews and they made me worry that the vacuum wasn't powerful enough. But, some is better than nothing, and at least if it catches some hair it leaves less for me to clean up. The good news about the trimmer is that it catches a lot more hair than I expected! Almost all of it, to be honest. Very good!

However, I also read in the reviews that you could easily change the lenght setting by accident. Not something you want to risk if you want to keep your beard! But the problem should be solved by keeping my fingers away from the dial while trimming. But no... This trimmer - at least my unit - changes the length by itself simply from the force of pressing it to my face. And no, I don't press it extremely hard to my face.

Also, even if it stays on the set lenght the individual steps have so much flexibility that setting it to "3" can be just below "4" or just above "2" - and it will autonomously use this flexibility to change the length while you are trimming.

I can't possibly use this. First time I used it, it changed from 4 to 3 within the first 30 seconds of the trim. I then tested it on my hand and neck and it will easily go from 4 to 1 in a couple of minutes of trimming. With no excess force applied.

I had really hoped this one would be great. I have used Philishave since I can remember, and this won't make me stop. But the QT4045 goes in the garbage!! Two stars, though, for the better-than-exected vacuum.

Good but not brilliant
I've had two beard trimmers prior to this one. Both were Babyliss models and both lasted exactly three years (give or take a couple of weeks) - the exact length of warranty!

Disappointed by this plus attracted to the vacuum in this philips model, I decided to purchase it and have been using it for over six months.

I find the turbovac works extremely well - to the point where I can sit at my desk at home, type this review and trim at the same time without any noticeable hair spillage onto the desk! I do however, empty the container more than once (typically 2-3 times, more if I haven't trimmed for a while) and this maintains the vacuum.

When using this trimmer, I found it tells you to trim upwards - ie take the trimmer up your face, not down it, which is what I found the other trimmers tell you to do. It doesn't take long to get used to this and I have quickly adapted to the trimmer.

Holding it was a little awkward at first, given that when you hold it in the natural position, you end up covering the air vents and risk adjusting the comb length. Again, I adjusted rapidly and now hold the trimmer such that my grip is below the air vents.

Because of the upward strokes you make, I have found it a little difficult to trim the moustache, mainly the region under your nose. This is down to design, since with my previous trimmers, I never had this problem. Otherwise, it works nicely.

In fact, it's easy to adjust to using this trimmer and getting decent results. I'm not even put off by the battery and the inability to use from the mains (which the two Babyliss models were able to do).

The one and only thing that does bug me it build quality. I accidentally dropped it onto the floor, fairly near the beginning, when I bought it. I was worried I had broken it but it does fit back together. However, the design means that it is prone to falling, since there's no upright stand and I have dropped it at least four times since. I've managed to put it back together again but please, do be careful with it.

I now regularly take it apart, not because it's broken but because I want to clean it out since hairs do get trapped in and around the system. I find that a can of compressed air (with a straw nozzle) works wonders!
