Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update Aug 29, 2013: I'm happy to say that everything in the review below continues to hold. The trimmer is holding up great after four months of almost daily use. The blades don't seem to have dulled (I never feel my hairs getting violently ripped from my face). The unit still holds enough charge to get me through the week. One thing I didn't address in the original review is that the guard comes off very easily so it's an easy unit to clean. All-in-all, a great product for the money. Original Review: The Norelco QT4000 is a perfectly decent beard and mustache trimmer if you're looking for something that does the job without any frills. The design makes it difficult to get an extremely close shave but that's not what it's built for. The shortest settings gives my beard and mustache a nice scruffy look without being too long and looking ragged. The trim is even in length and the best part, for me, is that it manages to get the hair on my lower neck which my previous two trimmers always had trouble trimming. I've never run the trimmer down to zero charge but regularly get a week's worth of quick trims without any decline in the quality. To recharge I just plug it in when I remember and it's always ready to go the next time. There is no external light or indicator of how much charge is left but it's never been an issue. The charger itself is a lightweight wall plug and the cord itself is a very generous 6' (feet) in length. In conclusion, while there is nothing about this trimmer that makes me say, "Wow!" it's perfectly good for its price and has not failed me yet. I would not hesitate to recommend it to someone.
