Finally a good quality hair trimmer!
I have been using a hair trimmer for years and I've been through many that did not satisfy me. I've had several Philips and also some other less known brands, but they all inevitably failed. One that I had was cordless and had the obvious issue all battery operated devices have which is that at some point the battery didn't hold the charge any more, and the hair trimmer would start slowing down, not cutting well, etc.
Other non-battery hair trimmers would cut well at the beginning, but then they would start malfunctioning and pinching my hair constantly.
This Oster trimmer is the first one that not only has worked well for two years, but the first one that I chose to re-buy after I lost the first one moving to a new apartment
.
It works well, it's powerful and it's not gonna let you down. Thumbs up!
UPDATE 9/2/2016: I'm still happy with this trimmer. As another reviewer noted, it is really important to periodically unscrew it and give it a good lubrication. At some point, it was starting to not cut as good. I hadn't oiled it in almost a year, so I unscrewed it, got rid of the hairs jammed inside, gave it a quick oil (using coconut oil) and after reassembling it, it was cutting MUCH better. Just like any mechanical device, it needs to be taken care of periodically. As long as you do, this trimmer will serve you well.
2nd UPDATE 8/12/2017: This hair trimmer is still going strong and I'm still very happy with it!
