Great idea implemented suboptimal

I already had the predecessor QT4085 over 6 years in use. The was the Auffangbehltnis for aspirated stubble in the form of a kind of drawer, which you pulled out of the device and the content easy auskippte.
This solution of the collecting vessel was in principle much more practical than the QT 4090/32.
It had just one catch ...
The front of the "drawer", where you took it out of the device, which you had to overcome einn small resistance broke, time after one year from and quite smooth, without frayed breaking points or so.
I brought the defective unit will always return because the damage indeed happened and got Nachem Philips wrote that the damage is beyond repair, a credit for the full purchase price within the warranty period. The accessories, such as travel bag, Kontourenaufsatz (fits the way also to the successor) and cleaning brushes Philips never wanted. I bought always immediately an identical device, because the idea with the suction of the stubble is just awesome and top notch the instrument in!
After I returned six trimmer in six years (!), I now own a nice collection of accessories. To this extent it was the deal of my life. Every year, a new device with fresh guarantee!
After my last "total loss" I bought for my newly obtained credit the successor QT4090 / 32nd The thing seems already to futuristic - with display, battery gauge, display for cutting length, key lock for the journey ...
Also, the neuralgic point of the receptacle for the whiskers, was modified.
As Philips has therefore given some thought to how to solve the problem.
But the result is in my opinion not very successful. Now you can namely take out any container from the device, but the whiskers accumulate in the housing of the device. It opens a door type that hangs right on a miserable lousy sounding Plastikscharnierchen of the thickness of a sewing needle, and now the whole unit on the toilet or the trash must hold the stubble shake out of the housing and sweep it with the cleaning Spin moose.
At the sight of this Scharnierchens I immediately wondered how long it will take to meet me flying this particle.

It is mistaken, because the device itself is top class. The engine is great, the battery also, the cutting performance perfect, the movable comb-class, really great that the thing is maintenance free and never needs to be oiled ... And the best is the suction function for stubble. That is what this device is different from all the others and why I bought it again and again. That even a few Häärchen nevertheless go wrong, is perfectly fine. I've even bought a beard trimmer, which can suck the bargain and a vacuum cleaner with cutting function. The result is true, the beard is very well maintained, the bathroom remains largely clean!
Very good in the hand doing the beard trimmer also and the new is also lighter than its predecessor.

What I do not get is that Philips is still just arrived at the function THESE Beard Trimmer different from all others and that really justify the very high price as the only no really viable and durable solution.
Since you should empty the drip tray regularly as possible in order to ensure a consistently high suction power, it's just part of the Aparat, acting on the most mechanical forces. Why did not they get it to this day, to make the catch tray so that you can take it to the emptying out of the machine and to use a material that can withstand a continuous stress?

By the way, contrary to what other reviewers write, on my machine a normal plug, suitable for German outlets. Plus one that is pronounced zielich for the fact that as a transformer is installed.
When I read in other reviews that this trimmer is not suitable for shaving of hair on the head, so that is also perhaps due to the fact that it is just to be a beard trimmer and not a hair trimmer - for gibtŽs Extra equipment. For example, very great of Panasonic, where you, after you've already taken the adjustable comb attachment, the cutting length can be further set to 0.8 mm. These things cost but then twice. (My wife is a hairdresser, so I know that.)

No, this device is here in principle to provide top class at this weak point, which will certainly mean that I will still have my eighth and ninth unit and the way I see it, again within the warranty period.
Too bad also that there is this device in the meantime without traveling bag, but only with a thin Stoffbeutelchen for storage ... but I'm still six of the past!
