Summary: A trimmer with TURRRRRBO
Comment: A turbo button on a beard trimmer? Those people at Norelco are insane! For me, this unit replaced an older model Norelco from a few years back. What a major upgrade it was! The blade adjustment is precise. The blades are sharp and cut quickly without hassle or pulling on the beard. The vacuum works great and grabs cut hair. Haven't used the turbo feature yet but it sounds powerful.

The T980 comes with a mustache trimmer, AC adapter, carrying case, and a brush to clean the blades.

It works great, makes beard upkeep a non-issue, and fits into a hand naturally. Well done, Norelco.

Summary: Terrible Product; Does Not Hold a Charge
Comment: The title pretty much says it all. If this works, great. However, getting this thing to work is the issue.

Summary: Sometimes progress sucks
Comment: The Norelco T-980 price was not much more than the cost of replacing the battery in my 10-year old Norelco Maverick T-3000 and I was excited about the addition of a vacuum feature. Be careful what you wish for! The vacuum does its job and sink cleanup is definitely faster. But the vacuum feature tends to obscure your view of the blade edge making it much trickier to aim the thing at your beard's edge while looking in the mirror. The vacuum must be emptied by using thumb pleasure to disengage one side of a rather flimsy, curved compartment cover that swings open on a hinge that looks so weak that I'm afraid it's just a matter of time before I accidentally break either the hinge or snap the cover in half. Equally delicate-feeling are the two sliding, plastic prongs used to hold the primary blade in place. Yet it must be removed each time one wants to use the smaller, more accurate trimming blade. And of course the trimming blade uses similar prongs to hold it in place. My older T-3000 had a self-contained trimming blade that slid forward with a simple thumb push whenever needed and then retracted just as easily. The T-980 is larger around and heavier than the older unit... enough so that I really miss the sense of control and precision I was used to. In short, the T-980 feels clumsier, less maneuverable, and less accurate. It takes longer to complete the job due to the hassle of changing the regular blade and the trimming blade. And it really tries my patience having to be so careful not to beak one of those delicate, sliding, plastic prongs or the vacuum-compartment cover. I'm really tempted to pay the $30 it will cost to restore my old T-3000.

Summary: Excellent trimmer.
Comment: This product is excellent. I have been using this since a long time. The vaccum feature sucks all the cut hair and is easy to wash, charge and carry in the provided pouch.

Summary: Excellent choice
Comment: As some reviewers had expressed reservations I took a flyer on the many positive reviews. I have not been disappointed! The trimmer served my needs on my beard and also my mustache. Several reviewers criticized their inability to trim their mustache. I have found no problems with the basic trimmer without the attachment. I have found the supposed mustache trimmer not worth the effort to put it on the unit. The turbo speed does indeed do its job.
