I bought this as my first trimmer and im really fed up with its low battery life.Its really frustrating that every time I have to trim, ive to charge this thing for about 2 hours and it just lasts for maximum 20mins.Philips jas been producing really good products from along time but this product of philips has been a big disappointment. Talking about its performance, it works just fine when it comes to normal trimming but as the product is promoted that it can help you style your beard as you want but this is not the case.I would recommend that buy another product other than this.
