Actually it DOES have a trimmer in the back that pops up that works reasonably well. I use it when I need to quickly outline my beard. It doesn't trim\outline as crisp as my Andis T-edger or Wahl 3080 but it gets the job done. I purchased mine last August, so the only caveat with my information is that perhaps the newest model that the previous responder purchased could have been changed by the manufacturer. I would suggest going to Wahl's site and confirming.

Very simple system, I've never had a problem other than occasional string breaking. It only releases new line when you stop and start trimmer so if you just hold trigger it will not feed new line. (Use trigger to operate trimmer in shorter bursts in stead of just constant running)

Hi Melanie, Yes, the spool of line is easy to install and fit's perfectly. Just pop off the bottom cap, which is orange, pull out the used spool. To put the new spool in you need to thread the line through the eye of the housing and then put the spool into the housing and reattach the orange bottom cap and your ready to trim.

This is a barbershop grade trimmer, not a clipper. Barber trimmers don't have attachments (aka guards) because they are not intended to cut length. The trimmer is specifically for lining up the edge of your hairline/beard and removing fine hairs.

The trimmer line will not advance automatically. You have to manually take off the trimmer replacement head and manually unwrap the line and then string it through the head while trying to keep the line from unraveling from around the trimmer head. I true pain in the rear. if you want to be very frustrated and not be able to use it to trim, but need a great paperweight in the garage, then buy it. I am putting mine out on the curb for garbage pickup tommorow.

does this trimmer have replacement blades? The T blade teeth broke off when I accidentally dropped it out of my hand. I would appreciate a reply back. Thank you. MJ

No...however, it comes with extra links and is easily modified! I like it a lot and have received many positive comments about it! In a previous comment modification was found difficult. This is absolutely absurd! All you need is a push pin, a small hammer or something else to tap with, a pair of pliers, and a little ingenuity! A clue...observe the arrows on the removable links! Enjoy!

It has pull chains and caps should you decide to remove them and go with the remote like I did. No, it does not require any other lines.

Yes, I was impressed how well it does work. My trimmer seems to cut better also. So easy to replace line. Best buy I have made in a long time. Also it was so easy to put on my trimmer. I wish I had bought this a long time ago.

No it did not come with the original trimmer. I upgraded to this head so I didn't have to replace the line constantly. Works perfectly, hope this helps.

Yes it does. I have not had a chance to use the trimmer yet, because I purchased it at the end of the season last year. I am looking forward to using it, so that I can rate its performance and how long the battery power lasts. Keep tuned for future updates.

No! You push the 'lock' switch so you can activate the trigger. I have had at least 5 similar trimmers, and they all operate under the same principal. Once the trigger switch is in operation, that's the one you use. By the way the Gardena is the best by far of those that I have owned.

No. This trimmer head can be used in place of the original trimmer head which uses pre-cut lengths of line and requires frequent line replacement which is a real pain. If you do any serious trimming the auto advance head is much more convenient in my opinion.

If you are talking about the actual trimmer spool...I did not have any luck doing so. You can get a different attachment though. Fyi, my original trimmer had isn't that bad...just hard to pull off the cap to replace the line.
