Can someone tell me if this is a good stubble groomer?

Any opinions would be welcome.

Yes, it's good. I've got one and it works very well. This kind, that has built in length options, is far superior, in my opinion, to the kind that have separate, removable attachments for length.

fhl, how long have you had it and how is the charge? I read a negative review saying that the charge only held for a very short time after a while.

Thanks.

Don't buy the Wahl. Peice of crap.

I've got the T770 which looks just like it.
I only use it once a week or so. No complaints. Someone asked about battery life, mine seems to hold a charge well enough. In fact I probably only recharge it once every second or third use.

I got it a few years ago and used it for a couple of years and the charge worked fine throughout. I stopped wearing a beard about six months ago and don't use it anymore. I had no problems with it at all. I had one of the cheaper kinds before that and this type, with the built in length controls, is definitely the way to go.

Thanks guys (and Nitro for starting it)...best thread on ET in months!

YW.

So I guess I am a little confused. If the battery dies, then is this thing useless? Or can you still use it if you plug it in, or replace the battery pack?

From what I read, it is a rechargeable battery...you should be able to get some good usage out of a single charge (before charging again), but if it dies and you are in a pinch you can use it with a cord (ie, you don't have to wait for it to recharge).

I ordered one...will let you know my thoughts in a few weeks.
