Comparing with the old T980, does the hair container door work okay? It seems from the photos the new design would be flimsy and less capacious.

Just had a new QT4070 shipped from Norelco because of a plastic clip that broke on the hair container. I've owned this model for a little less than a year

The older design was better. The capacity of the new design is OK, but in every regard I preferred the old design where the "bin" slid out.

It opens the same way as the older version. Just as strong, and the size is just a little smaller. I love the way it fits your hand. not so large and cumbersome. Personally I realy like the QT4070 much better.

The Philips vacuum trimmer does NOT work! If Anything it creates more of a mess having to still clean up the sink and also having to clean up clippers. I finally found the fastest and most efficient methods to date. As stupid as it sounds I got a Beard Bib from www.TheBeardKing.com and believe it or not it actually works!

Had same problem. Really like the trimmer but the door latch broke (I've had for a couple years and will buy another)

I've had no problem with the hair container door. I haven't noticed any weakness or flimsiness in the door's function.

Unfortunately I can't agree with the other answers. I've had one of these QT4070 for a couple years and the plastic clip that would hold the door shut has snapped off and now the door doesn't stay closed. I've had to resort to putting a rubber band around it to keep the tiny hair trimmings from making a mess everywhere. Pity, because otherwise this is a really good trimmer.

Yes that correct. Even the functionality is not efficient I have to spend more time and effort to do what the old one was doing.

the model I have was purchased over 5 years ago. it is built well. I replaced the wand last year ($50) and have have replaced a few bands. i actually use it without the bands also like a T. mine is very thick metals. it knocks down to small components so can transport ez. hopefully they did not cheapen it by thinner metals it would not surprise me. I would check out a sporting store to see if it is now junk. agood tool if they did not ruin it.

Not sure. Maybe...because the new one did seem to fit more secure. I was very happy that it looked as good or better than the original. I think the new one even was a heavier/more dense plastic. I would recommend it.

I bought it two years ago and got a white one. I think this is the newer model. However, I can't send a picture, as the hair dryer died a few months later. It worked fine, then I put it to the closet after I returned from my five-month trip, and when I got it out of there a couple months after that, it simply didn't work. It's not made to last, but I would still consider buying it again, because my hair looked really great with it.

Some aspects of it have been changed and modified. I don't know I'd call it "new and improved" as the old one certainly worked well. I haven't noticed any profound difference in the current iterration.

That is correct; plus the old itself doesn't snap on tightly so you need to be careful. Does work nicely to keep dogs out of open top though, just need a way to hold lid on tighter.

It's nowhere near as sturdy as the "former businessman's workhorse" HP was. Similar size, large keyboard and screen but it feel plastic where the HP felt metal (and cool to the touch). Leave screen full up or close yourself as it will semi-slam on it's own if the screen is tilted towards the keyboard much at all. I've tried with it just slightly tilted (as if to prevent passerby from seeing screen while I refill my coffee) and by time i return with full cup, it's shut and gone to sleep/locked itself.

I'm not sure what was the old one like. I had mine for six months now and using it almost every other week and so far so good. The only thing is before I bought it I had read this concern so I'm carefull not to over load it or lift it with tension.

The basic cage is well constructed, however, the latching mechanism is POOR as it is difficult to "set". Once an animal is inside, the door is solid. Fortunately, my background is mechanical design & fabrication & I was able to modify the latching mechanism to the point of satisfactory. I will probably, as time permits, re-manufacture the latching mechanism to be fully functional & reliable. I hope this helps you. BTW, I am using it to catch full grown raccoon's.

Mine has gotten better over time, but its still hard. I'm okay with it since it adds a little more security :)

I had no problem putting this new door on my old kennel, and am extremely happy with how it works. The original kennel was purchased it the late 80's. The new door was a perfect fit.

It is fine for the most part. The only difficulty is trying to swipe up from the bottom to access the control center. I have to make a couple of tries before it opens. Has anyone else had this problem?

Mine is doing great. It's easier to open each slot after the 7 or 8 months I've had mine. I've been careful with the hinges since another reviewer mentioned he's breaking off, so none of mine have broken. I love it!

I have the T3 Featherweight Journey Lightweight Travel Hair Dryer and it fits well.

If I remember correctly, yes. My unit is very old and the lid on the new glass jar is very loose. Not a big concern - all things being equal. (Not for me at least.) Just the same - you'd think it would fit better.

I don't know if this is the new model. I don't know where to look for the model number, but I have not had problems with rattling. If it has been a bit noisy, just repositioning the door a bit took care of it.

It works fine. There are sometimes if there is a lot of hair that I will ejectit and then just pull it off. I,m happy with mine.
