Philips NorelcoVacuum beard trimmer

The first electric shaver I ever purchased was a Philips Norelco, it was basically the T980 but without the vacuum. I still have them, but recently learned about the T980 that had the vacuum. I found one on eBay and have been using it ever since. In the 20 plus years that I’ve been shaving, I have tried dozens of different products and have never found ANYTHING that compares to this razor. I even just purchased the Norelco BT9000 thinking it was the “modern version” of this trimmer and boy was I WRONG! Sometimes New is just not better. If it is not broke, don’t fix it start making the T980 Models again!

Second one after many years with the first till it died, now the replacement died and Norelco doesn't make this model anymore for, ??? reason. Maybe some guys like losing all those groovy little click on gauges, I do not, nor do they trim as accurately as this simple but more effective dial up device. Bring back a winner of a trimmer and make your customers happy, (Been using this model for well over 10 years)

This trimmer was one of the best I have used. I found it much easier to clean and keep beard trimmed with no issues. I wish they still sold this T980 as I believe it is much better than the 7000 series I bought last year.

I've been using Norelco beard trimmers since the early/mid '90s (which, to date, amounts to 3 trimmers). The T980 was the second one I got after the first one stopped working; it was the first with a vacuum. It was absolutely perfect--easy to use and just as easy to clean. A perfect design all around. But Norelco stopped making these or anything even like them. Their latest and greatest does the job, I suppose, but is extremely hard to clean and less easy to use (poorly shaped). If Norelco ever offers the T980 again or something similarly easy to clean, then I'll start buying Norelco trimmers again... but not until then.

Best trimmer I ever found. Unfortunately, after 4 years it would not charge. None of the new Norelco trimmers work as good. Most trim pretty good but non seem to vacuum as good, leaving more hare in/on the sink. Please bring this one back!!!!!

This was the best trimmer that I have ever owned. After numerous years the battery finally went. Now I can't find this particular trimmer, nor one even remotely close to it. I have purchased 4 trimmers recently trying to get the results that I had become accustomed to, and not one of the Philips Norelco Trimmers comes close. At this point, I am going to have to look outside of the Philips Norelco Family to find one, which is something that I didn't think would be necessary. PLEASE START MAKING A Philips Norelco Trimmer EXACTLY LIKE THIS. WHY WOULD YOU NOT?

START MAKING THIS T980 AGAIN. IT WAS THE BEST,and did an excellent job on my stylish beard. Now after 3-years, it needs service and I cannot find anyone to open and tell me what part needs replaced?

I had used this trimmer over 4 years then suddenly one day when I went to plug the charger in it would no longer charge. Now I'm disappointed that I cannot buy another one just like it. Make more of this same unit Phillips.

all virtues of this product advertised were and are taken as promises made and kept. The unit functions flawlessly, reliably and easily. My results are constant and excellant. The only feature I'd change would be a pull trimmed hair drawer vs. a hinger drawer, for ease of cleaning's sake. I would buy this unit again.

No mess with this vacuum featured beard trimmer with receptacle to catch the trimmed hair. Highly recommended. It is rechargable and the charge seems to last for quite some time. When internal battery is discharged, you can use the trimmer with the charging cord plugged in, so you won't have to wait to recharge to finsih trimming it if it dies while you're using it.
