Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have owned both the Phillips 7200 and after it petered out after 7 months of use (2 yr warranty), i figure this would be a more robust product (5 yr warranty). The truth is I much prefer the old Phillips I had. The Remington vacuum trimmer only catches about 50% of the hair it cuts, whereas for the the Phillips it was closer to 80% What people say about the very flimsy plastic guard is true, it bends very easily leading to an uneven shave, and it's downright scary to use around a mustache due to the fear of pressing too hard and cutting way too close. The Phillips vacuum trimmer had a very hard plastic piece that made it easy and consistent to shave. The sliding mechanism to adjust the height is worthless due to the bendy plastic guard, but is also a little more hassle to get to the correct setting even if it had a usable guard. The Phillips vacuum trimmer uses a rotating dial which is easier to use and has more granular settings. The Remington vacuum trimmer is much louder and has more vibration than the Phillips trimmer, and changes pitch constantly in an annoying fashion while cutting hair as if the motor were struggling. So if anyone is reading this, consider the Phillips 7200 over this. I know it has a shorter warranty period and in my case, gave out in less than a year, but i'll admit i did not take care of it as well as i should have. I will be returning my Remington to re-buy the Phillips, and i'm sure with more delicate care (not running the vacuum under water, etc) it would last longer.
