Is this product meant to groom a beard as well as shave stubble? Or is it a shaver only that will chew up a beard?

Sorry I do not have a beard. Occasionally I will not shave for 3-4 days and when I use the Braun it shaves very well. I love the Braun

The beard trimmer not recommended for heavy beard trimming. Trimmer is made of light plastic. My trimmer broke 6 months after purchase.

Not sure I understand the question. You mean like a groomer comes with beard/hair length attachment? No. The trimmer flips up and what you hold it to, it cuts. When trimmers on shavers first appeared, they were shown in the commercials just putting a crisp edge to the bottom of sideburns, that's it. (Regular sideburns, not Star Trek style.) But this will do more. It's fine for edging a beard. The trimmer blade is wider than some groomer blades I've seen. The rotary head will handle a few days' stubble (for me at least), but if you've gone a week or two without shaving, the trimmer will also cut your beard down to a more shave-able level.

The Philips Norelco SensoTouch 3D comes with an "integrated precision trimmer". On the box it says it is perfect for shaping and trimming "moustache and sideburns." However, the instruction book says the trimmer can be used for beard, moustache or sideburns. My husband doesn't have a beard, so I can not testify how well the trimmer works with a beard.

The machine doesnt work like a shaver. It will trim your goatee but the rest of your face will feel like a 5 oclock shadow. It wont cut like a shaver. Dont buy from weird dealers. Buy strickly from amazon. The machine comes with clips that other dealer wont give you. They take them out and sell the for extra profit.

It's designed to trim a beard and define edges. It is not a substitute for a razor that can give a clean shave.

I'm sorry to be truculent. But, this product, while billed for beards and such, is ultimately simply for cutting hair. Did you suspect it might shut down or light fires if it approached hair *not* on your face?

I ready don't know. I bought mines strickly for my beard. However I imagine you could. It's a hair trimmer. Best investment I made.

I've used it after not shaving for three or four days, and it worked fine for that. But, if you have a long beard, I'm not really sure. My guess is you would have to trim that down.

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.

Yes. I use it for beard and hair. It isn't very powerful, but it gets the job done nicely.

I don't see why not. I use it with fusion blades. all the device does is wipe away the soap and stubble build up which they claim causes the blade to feel dull if left on. I have a heavy beard and have used the same blade now since Oct 20, 2013. I'm thinking about changing to a new blade but this one does not feel very rough.

Body/Beard absolutely - the foil shaver while advertised for the body is not top of the line. Personally I use either a 5 blade for that extra close shave.

Also just got one and was wondering the exact same thing. This post suggests, despite the manual, that it works fine for facial hair:http://www.amazon.com/Beard/forum/Fx35I14XJDYL4GM/Tx25ZQ15IPDYTEO/1/ref=cm_cd_dp_ef_tft_tp?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B001E0C9LI&store;=hpc

Ms. Meeker, the product description states, this is a "Philips Norelco's T780 AccuVac Beard and Moustache Trimmer". It works exceptionally well for trimming facial hair, for which it was designed. It would more than likely "Jam" if you were going to attempt to cut the hair on someone's head. The chamber that collects facial hair trimmings is very small, and intended for catching small cuttings of beard and Moustache hair. I hope this helps you.

I haven't had any issue with this. However, being a relatively inexpensive mobile shaver. I do not use this shaver with a thick week growth beard. I used it if I have a little stubble and want to touch it up and smooth my face. I believe the foil on this is very thin being a travel type shaver and it is possible that like others have suggested perhaps your beard is too long or maybe you have a defective unit. It seems to work fairly well for my touch up needs.

I don't shave my face..........~wait a minute, I DO shave my face sometimes ~.even though I am a female. Never mind. I think that it should work well for trimming a beard. It cuts the hair evenly. The height of the blade in relation to the guide is adjustable. Please check the range of length of hair that can be cut in relation to how long you wear your beard.
