After a long torment with a nameless Trimmer (always was the battery dead), I have dug deep into their pockets to buy a new Brown. So far, he's worth every penny! The batteries last for weeks, even after frequent use. Had him after purchase since Christmas recharge for the first time. Use the trimmer mainly cut to Bart. Does the setting (no more accidents due to slipped length setting). Even those pesky hairs in the ear be safely cut with the extra trimmer. Only one minor complaint is the case: that is simply too small for all the parts. Why did my son also equal paid a Braun trimmer!
