Philips Norelco BT7215/49, Vacuum Beard Trimmer Series 7200, Cordless Lithium-Ion Mustache and Beard Groomer for Men - NO BLADE OIL NEEDED

This is at least ten steps backwards in design, It is LOUD, You have to half disassemble it simply to empty the hair chamber. It does not collect the trimmed hairs very well if trimming over the minimum length cut. FORGET THIS and move on...Remington anyone?

Had the old model for going on 10 years and got to the point where even plugged in the battery only lasted about 2 minutes. The new model of course has insane battery life which makes my joyful for sure! The vacuum feature just like the old one is not amazing. It gets some hair but the older version captured much more. I also do not like the new vacuum chamber style. Before you could just flip the door open and dump it out but now the hair gets all over the motor and gets stuck in the greased components. It's also impossible to tap the hair out and you have to dig in there with the mini brushes. Quite annoying, at least it has way more capacity. All in all I'm happy with it. Sucks up some of the hair and the battery goes forever. Seems a bit smoother on the face as well. The extra guards/blade is nice but I probably won't use them.

I've been using Philips Norelco products for some time now and also have another trimmer of theirs (model QG3280/41), which is still running strong after six years of use. I usually find their products to be reliable and of exceptional quality. Before purchasing the BT7215/49 model however, I read most of the reviews on here and became hesitant about acquiring it, as there were too many incidents of the tabs breaking off on either the blade or comb assembly. Still, I decided to risk it thinking those incidents were either a case of bad handling or flat-out bad luck. I even went as far as purchasing the Asurion extended warranty that Amazon offered, in addition to the warranty that already came with the unit as a safety measure. I even got a padded case to house it in whenever it wasn't being used. Fast-forward to three months of gentle handling and use, and snap—one of the tabs on the blade assembly broke off while I was brushing it of all things. At first, I didn't even bother contacting Philips Norelco about it, as I had read somewhere that they had become resistant to providing anymore replacement parts for this, as their warranty department had gotten inundated with similar complaints. I reached out to Asurion, and they informed me to first contact Philips Norelco about it. So I did—and to my surprise—they quickly took my contact and shipping info and shipped out a replacement blade and comb assembly. The rep also informed me that they were an updated version of what originally came with the unit, and that the plastic tabs were now designed to be stronger. I'm giving 5 stars here, because I feel that the original engineering for these specific parts was a case of bad luck, and that the company is now trying to correct their mistake by having improved on the design and offering a replacement for the defective parts to its customer base at no cost. If your product is still under warranty, then I encourage you to reach out to Philips Norelco so that they can get you this replacement if it's needed. As far as the device itself, I think it's great. It has a long battery life between charges, runs with the provided power supply in case your battery's running low, feels very light and ergonomic when handling it, and does a great job of trimming my facial hair. The vacuum also works pretty good, although I still get a few pieces of stubble in my sink whenever I use it. The only thing I wish could be improved would be the housing for the vacuum. I wish I didn't have to remove the blade and comb assembly whenever I wanted to empty it out, as I believe that constantly having removed them most-likely wore down the plastic tab that eventually broke off. Also, cleaning out the compartment where your hairs get vacuumed seems a bit risky. They do provide you with a soft-padded brush for this purpose, but I always feel that I need to take great care not to unintentionally damage another component within that housing, which also includes a portion of the device's motor. All-in-all, I encourage you to give this model a try, and if the tabs on either the blade or comb assembly break off, then reach out to Philips Norelco ASAP so they can mail you out a replacement.

Quede satisfecho con el producto, la caja viene muy completa, de manera que puedas personalizar para mejor precisión. Así mismo su mango con control giratorio, permite indicar de cuantos mm deseamos rasurarnos, por lo que podemos diseñar nuestra barba. La batería es durable, e incluye cargador y una funda para cuidar nuestra rasuradora, así como cepillo y cotonete para remover esos residuos del centro de almacenaje de nuestro producto.

Works smoothly. Easy to use, great battery life and easy to adjust. Vaccum works vetter than expected. Only negative point; its not easy to clean.
