A great product. 2008-01-07
This trimmer gets very close for a great look. The various attachments make it useful for many grooming jobs.
Cute groomer 2007-09-14
Gives my significant other a new and higher quality groomer than what he already had. It arrived in a timely manner too. Thank you.
Not that great

This trimmer works only so-so. It never trimmed my hairs that closely in the nose or the ear.
I have had it about 2 years and it won't even hold a charge at all, so I will have to throw it away.
I would not recommend this trimmer to anyone.

A complete, all-in-one personal groomer, this sleek device trims beards, mustaches, and neck, nose, and ear hairs while providing the convenience of cordless operation. For beards and mustaches, two adjustable guide combs that slip onto the groomer's head are included. Each has five settings for a total of 10 trimming length options, from stubble to goatee to full beard and all possibilities in between. The guide combs flex to follow facial contours, ensuring precise, uniform length. Designed ergonomically for comfort, the groomer fits into a charging stand that also stores the guide combs, as well as a styling comb and a cleaning brush (both included). The groomer carries a 60-day, full-satisfaction, money-back guarantee and a two-year warranty against defects.

Great for the money 2005-07-27
About 6 months ago my husband left his razor in a motel while vacationing so I had picked this one up for him the next day. He liked it so well he has not gone out to purchase his old brand. He told me it worked better than the one he had which cost him 3 times the price. I guess for the money it is very good.
Has worked well for me

(Right about 3.5 stars)
As others have mentioned, this trimmer suffers from a bad stand design; you cannot charge it while it's in the stand. Frankly I don't bother with the stand at all; the trimmer and accessories stay in a drawer in my bathroom where they can't gather dust.
I mostly use the G250 for nose and ear hair removal. It does a decent job at trimming with this attachment. One noticeable downside for trimming ear hair is the noise: it's just a bit too loud to be comfortable. (Might just be my noise tolerance is low, as I grew up on the edge of a pine forest in Maine.) While at home I trim my beard with a larger, corded Norelco model, but the G250 worked fine performing general trimming on a couple of vacation trips.
Other reviewers have mentioned problems with the battery. I'll have to consider myself lucky in this department. I've gotten very good charge retention, with several weekly trimming sessions on each charge.
Bottom line: It's got some flaws, but the G250 has worked well for me.
Master of none! 2004-02-17
If you're just looking for a ear and nose hair trimmer, pass on this jack of all trade, master of none.
The Panasonic ER411NC, which can be purchased at Amazon.com, does a much better job and costs less.
Okay while it worked... 2003-12-16
I bought this several months ago and have used it lightly - worked fine for what it was meant to do. However, when it ran out of the very first charge it would not charge up again and now I am stuck with a dead useless trimmer. Complete waste of money.
