Can the beard trimmer be replaced?

My 8585 has the same problem.. after taking it apart, I see there's a little swinging arm that anchors the trimmer to the razor body. It no longer wants to stay anchored to the razor, so the trimmer doesn't stay where it needs to. Good luck!

Yes, but I believe the motors on all cordless shavers wear out. I replaced the blade on mine, and it still has trouble trimming my sparse hair. Get a new Peanut.

I do not know. Here is what I do know. My husband looked on line about get a replacement shaver as the current one took too long to shave. That is when he learned that the shaver head is to be replaced every year or so. He went with the model of the shaver (not sure what it is) and then aligned it with the replacement blades. Sorry I could not be more specific.

I'm not sure. I don't think you can replace it. But this product comes with a plastic cover that protects the brush so it won't get damaged. I rarely use this product because it doesn't give me much volume at all.

Don't know if the battery can be replaced, but yes you can shave with it plugged in. Before I bought this I had the previous version for nearly 10 years and the battery has still never quit The reason I replaced is I dropped it and messed up the head. Even now it still runs...

Even with my bad experiences I would buy another one as long as it was $45 or less. Just keep in mind that you will not be able to find replacement heads and will have to throw it out when it no longer shaves you good. Depending on your beard this could take a few years. I had no issues until mine got worn out.

Unfortunately NO. When the manufacturer quit making the units, replacement parts also disappeared. Your charger may still be good, unless it has been damaged, and the battery could now be too weak to recharge. You are not alone in your disappointment. Too bad another manufacturer has not decided to make these handy, useful tools whose parts match all those Total Trimmer users.

Not so close. But it can help you reduce your beard to a length that you can easily razorshave without ruining your razor blade if you have an expensive one.

The three combs and cutters can be removed from the head assembly in one piece (sub assembly). To do this , lift the silver trim which surrounds each comb/cutter and you will have all three exposed for brushing or rinsing under tap water. Three beard catchers for cuttings remain as part of the head assembly for easy brushing/rinsing. Once cleaned, the three comb/cutter sub-assembly can be snapped back in place. Unfortunately, Philips Norelco uses the terminology "shaver head" for both the fully assembled RQ12+ and for what I call the sub-assembly containing the three combs/cutters. Good luck!

Yes it does. I also have a beard and a mustache and this trimmer has 3 different guides and two trimming heads. Works great.

Yea I think so. It gets pretty close for a trimmer it would work well to shape the edges of a beard. I feel like I remember it coming with guards too (so you can trim the length of the beard) but I did buy it a while ago so I might be mistaken.

I can only say that this is the second model I've owned...I dropped the first, breaking it. It has always provided a sharp, neat trim for my beard. That is why I sought out and purchased the same model. I use the shortest of four trim guides that come with the trimmer to get a tight, trim beard.

You can trim a beard but you will not get a close shave. It's not meant for that purpose.

Perhaps I'm missing something. I've had the shaver for over a year & not had to change the blades. As they're self-sharpening & easily cleaned with water, I don't see the need to change them. What comes with the shaver is a screen to replace the original one. Is that protective screen the thing you're looking to replace? If not, let me know & I'll try to help further. I'd suggest contacting the seller or manufacturer. Best wishes.

That would depend upon the user's skill and steady hand. The included combs are calibrated to an approx. length but trimmer can be used free-handed - depending upon how long it takes your beard to grow back...

No. I owned one and found out it can't be replaced. Never bought another one.

Yes, the battery can be replaced, took me about an hour. No soldering is required but you do have to disassemble the shaver by removing 6 screws and the chrome pieces. The battery is two AAA NIMH cells and I replaced them with Sanyo Eneloop AAA cells, a far superior battery. The original batteries were cheap junk and didn't last long. Although the original batteries were soldered in, you don't need to solder the replacement batteries, just pressure contact on the terminals works fine.
