Great hair trimmer
Everyone in our house has short hair, so we primarily use these trimmers to keep our hair short and neat as well as to give ourselves haircuts when needed. While the size of these might make you think it's more intended for beards, it works perfectly on short hair. Having an easy to use trimmer like this is essential when you have an undercut and cut it yourself and it works great for that purpose.
There were a few things that I really liked about it. Firstly, the design is really sleek and beautiful. It's definitely got a bit of weight to it compared to trimmers I've used in the past. This could be a pro or con, depending on the person. Pro is, the quality is clear and it should last longer than a cheap plastic trimmer. The con is, extra weight might be difficult if you have grip or strength problems. Looks-wise, it just looks really cool and I love the stainless steel design.
Second, the red 'plug' is genius. If you insert the plastic plug into the charging port, it won't turn on, so you can easily travel without worries. It won't activate while the charging plug is in there either, but has quick charge if you need to use it in a hurry. When it comes to cutting power, this works better than my current trimmer and doesn't seem to snag as much. We're using it on short hair and haven't had any issues trimming it down to a neat buzz cut level.
One thing that might give some people pause, so be aware, is that the blades do need oiled and it comes with a tiny tube of oil. They also can't be washed and can only be brushed clean. I have to admit that I prefer washable blades that don't need to be oiled, but it just depends on what you like. There is a brush included so you can clean it, as well as a case to keep all the attachments, of which there are more than you'll ever need.
The button is also quite hard to press, so if you have poor grip strength a different model might be more suited, but the good news is you won't accidentally be turning this off or on.
Overall, it cuts short hair really, really well and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who cuts their own hair on a regular basis.
