After a little over 6 months of use, not much to say except that the cleaning brush is almost dead. This is the only real complaint I have. If the cut is nickel either hair or beard. Nothing like lawnmowers purchased in supermarkets for the same price. For information, I used shoe without hair and beard and I have had no problems. For batteries, I have not checked if the announced time is good, but you can use the battery more cuts without problems. Only problem, it was not when it is fully charged when it is put on the base.
