What customers say about "Key Specs"

Wahl 5537-1801 Beard Trimmer with Bonus Personal Trimmer

Blades were sharp enough and last fine for mild use.
Wish it was waterproof, but so far have not had any problems keeping it dry around the sink & tub!
When working, the blade area gets pretty hot after just 30 seconds. Not enough to burn, but certainly not comfortable.
The blades cut well and are sharp but they don't cut closely enough to the skin.
Pulls hair, blades gets rusty even with proper maintenance and oiling.

Remington VPG6530 Lithium Power Series 4 In 1 Vacuum Trimmer

It is easy to us, excellent blade size, not to big or to small to handle full beard trim and small intricate trim.
The trimmer blades work well and provide a good cut. I use this for trimming my beard and cutting my hair.
Blades are fine and have not trouble trimming my thick beard.
Cuts are not amazing due to the distance between the blades and the setting.
The blade is not as strong as the previous model I had. Doesn't cut well.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Wahl 5537-1801 Beard Trimmer with Bonus Personal Trimmer

It's safe to the touch, light weight, and there's no pesky cord to worry about so your range is wide open.
It's compact, light weight, and simple to use.
The small size helps get into tight areas under my nose.
Also, this is light and handy enough to use as a travel grooming accessory, since it weighs nothing and takes up so little space.
Cheap materials, quality is not as good as my other Wahl trimmer.
The overall quality as in material and weight it what you would expect from a cheaply priced trimmer.
I don't have a sensitive skin, but there are red spots allover due to the cheap material.

Remington VPG6530 Lithium Power Series 4 In 1 Vacuum Trimmer

Good size.
The vacuum mouth next to the blades gets stuck u have to shake the machine for the hair to go in , the turbo vacuum its small and it doesn't suck the hair.
This product was purchased as a beard trimmer but too bulky so it was returned for a more slimmer down version.
My first concern when I received this trimmer was its bulkiness. It is noticeably larger than other trimmers.
The clipper is very bad materials , and very bad quality!! its hardly cut the hair!

What customers say about "Features"

Wahl 5537-1801 Beard Trimmer with Bonus Personal Trimmer

The small cutting head allows precision I could not achieve with my full sized hair trimmer.
I also liked the nose/ear trimmer they included too, it was a nice gift to complete the pack! All the other small accessories they included are nice too, including the blade oil to keep it in good shape.
Comes with attachments/accessories.
I the different accessories make it easier to get the exact length of hair you want.
The clip-on guides are difficult to attach.

Remington VPG6530 Lithium Power Series 4 In 1 Vacuum Trimmer

The unit is nice to hold, feels good in the hand, so ergonomically it's fine.
In terms of ergonomics, i had no problems.

Its a nice machine, comes with many accessories.
Product is very precise, versatile and has a great assortment of accessories.

What customers say about "Power"

Wahl 5537-1801 Beard Trimmer with Bonus Personal Trimmer

Plus it runs on batteries so its great for traveling,
My favorite feature of the Wahl 5537-1801 is the replaceable AA batteries.
However, my biggest complaint is that it burns through batteries when it's not even turned on. If I leave fresh batteries sitting in the clipper, they nearly die within a week.
It burns through batteries faster than I'm willing to deal with.
I've had to replace the batteries every other use.

Remington VPG6530 Lithium Power Series 4 In 1 Vacuum Trimmer

I do like that this is rechargeable, I plugged it in when I got it and unplugged it the next morning.
The rechargeable battery is impressive, and after a couple weeks, I purposely wanted to test the charge time. It worked fine each time and very handy without a cord.
The rechargeable lithium battery charged up in about an hour initially and took about four hours to charge after fully drained.
Holds a long battery life.
It was a nice trimmer, however the battery lost the ability to recharge about 4 months after the warranty expired.
