Will this model trim my beard in a clean tight fashion .?

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.

No, it does leave some sort of buzz, to get the clean cut look my husband will also use a disposable razor.

Absolutely. Ive bought tons of different trimmers. This is the best. Almost shaves as well

It has a great degree of precision in terms of length settings. Using the adjustable length head that I do, the only minor issue I have in the mustache area is in the apex, just below the nose, where it can sometimes be a bit awkward to trim. Not a big issue at all though and barely worth mentioning (only because you asked).

I have this trimmer and am very unhappy with it. The vacuum gets in the way of precision cutting around your mouth and nose and the attachments snag on my lips and do a terrible job of pulling up all the hair to get it trimmed right. I've owned many Philips beard trimmers and have loved all of them except this one. I highly recommend staying away from the vacuum models and deal with a messy counter and a good trim.

Depends on your beard type (heavy, light, etc) and how well you maintain the razor. I take care of mine but have to replace the blades every 6 months or the performance suffers.

Well, it comes with a trimmer which pops out from the body of the shaver, but I would not call it a beard trimming feature. More like a feature to straighten the edges of a moustache, goatee, and Vandyke. If you need a real trimmer to shorten the length or keep the length of your beard, I would buy one for that purpose. I use my Norelco trimming kit for my goatee and my Braun for shaving. Combination of the two works excellent.

So far ive trimmed thin goatee hairs and it worked perfectly fine. Im not sure about coarse goatee hair though.

Not if want it trimmed longer than stubble. The ones it come with are the only ones that will fit it, and they only leave about three or four day's growth.

It would probably work pretty well - I've used it to clean off a two-week growth of beard using the trimmer first then the heads. I haven't shaved my head with it, but it's pretty gentle on the face.

It doesn't shave at all. Nothing even close to a clean shave. It purposely leaves "stubble". I shave most of my face with a blade. I trim my very large mustache with the QT4000/42 at a high setting for long length.The portion left (goatie) I use the lowest close setting for a stubble look. This shaver is NOT something that could leave your face smooth and clean. Made for what I use it for and nothing else. Hope this helps.

The clipper portion will allow you to shape a beard, but trimming a beard with this will likely yield disastrous results. I don't currently wear a beard but have had them often.

No. The trimmer will take a very close shave and is not meant to do a full grooming. This trimmer runs on 2 AA batteries and when it is on for a while, they need turned off to cool down. Made for a touch up trim only. If you are going to do a grooming, buy some grooming shears. I like Andis personally.

It trims my beard and cuts my head hair easier than a knife slices through butter. I'll bet that it can trim beards of any length. The clippers are adjustable.

My beard is really tough and it takes quite a while for me to get a close shave, but the Panasonic does a better job than any other shaver I've ever used. Leave the cleaning base at home and just take the charger/cord with you on the road. I can get about 10 shaves on a charge, but I plug the shaver in overnight when on the road. If you clean the shaver under running water you will never *have* to clean it in the base, although that's what I do when not travelling. It's a great shaver... You can't go wrong. I've got the ES8228 and the ES8109. They're pretty much the same shavers with different trim. I replaced a Braun 360.

It depends. I bought it for my small beard. Pro: It has exellent blades (rotated wide/narrow in one and special tipe of sharpening doesn't irritate the skin). Cons: laser is useless for my small beard. For cheeks I prefer another trimmer CONAIR 900 (it has other tipe of bladehead)

More than likely. You might just need to do a Lil trim work with a razor blade

I've never used the clippers as a beard shaver. I do use the trimmer on my facial hair though, even though it doesn't have any sort of adjustments for it. It works for me and gives you a scruff look. I would assume though that using the main clipper on a longer beard would work and could then be cleaned up with the trimmer.

Asked my son - he said no attachment or a brush to clean it with. But it does a fantastic job of outlining the beard and leaves his neck smooth as can be. Very close shave. Great tool.
