Philips MG1100/16 Series 1000 Precision Beard Styler (Trimmer/Shaver/Shaper), Black

The trimmer is fine. I've had one for a few years, but a tiny piece of the plastic broke off and the trimming head became very unstable.I've been very pleased with its predecessor. It trims my beard as I want it, runs for weeks on a single battery and is easy to use

This shaver is quite good, however, I am not particularly fond of the new packaging. The previous plastic packaging was reusable, allowing for convenient storage of the shaver. I still have the old packaging, which I found very useful.

. Happy with my purchase. Good value for money.

Since I turn forty, some two years ago, something happened to my facial hair. It's gone wild. Grows out of every hole, orifice, wrinkle, sideburns, everywhere, it's out of control. So There I was, in desperate need of a solution. Something needed to be done and quickly. Enter Philips Multi-Groom Ultra Precise Beard Styler Series 1000, or as I like to call it, “The little Philips”. I started with my eyebrows. The little Philips comes with three little combs, I used the one labelled S, and surprise, it cuts to short. Luckily my eyebrows grew back in no time. So now I use the larger comb and it is working a treat.I like it's small size, it makes the little Philips easy to handle and unobtrusive when trimming facial hair. I like it so much that I also use it in my sideburns. I trim them a little bit with the M comb, and give the last touches with no comb attach. My sideburns now look perfect all the time. It works so well that I started to wander if I could do some styling “down there”. And I did. I like to call it “ The Crazy Mohican”, it's so much hygienic than going “full forest”, and it makes me feel fresher. My wife said she likes it, she thinks it makes me look younger and cooler. She was so impress with the results, that she asked me for a piece of the action. So I trim some of her hair too. She definitely looks cooler now.The little Philips comes with a foil shaver head, which I had no use for it, till I realized that my neighbour's dog could do with a hair cut. It worked perfectly, now that the summer heat is here “cuddles” is relived of all that unnecessary hair.So all in all a great piece of machinery, I will recommend to anyone who is over forty, has a wife or a neighbour with a dog.

I have been looking for a replacement to my old Philips trimmer for nearly 2 years now as they are discontinued, I was over the moon to find this, I think these are great and this version is quicker than the previous, i intend to buy another just in case i have trouble getting similar in the future.

I did try to sort things out, using the 'bot' - only rthe bots seemed to be having one of those kind of 'Hal' meltdowns (think 2001). First, it asked me to wait until October,my missing delivery to be delivered. Next it asked me to return my missing delivery, before it would give me a refind or reorder? It al went downhill from thereon. I contacted a real person, & they were fantastic! In your face 'A' not so 'I' - my replacement order arrived when they said it would, & my initial thoughts are that it seems to be doing what it's supposed to do. I just gave my facial fuzz a quick touch up, so I can't be more specific than that. Nor can I class the battery performance, after a twenty second blitz - I'm just glad that it arrived & that ot works, for now.

Great additional trimmer for shaping your beard and catching stray hairs. I don't use or need the combs or shaver head.

Finding the product snags on stubble of beard and sideburns- appears blunt.Difficult to use effectively
