OK. Let's just say that I'm looking for the perfect cut, without going to the barber shop. The Norelco T980 is good, but, it doesn't completely live up to the claims on the product details. Yes, it does have a turbo button that acts like a facial hair trimmer NOS booster. However, the blades don't seem to make a perfect cut. Even after spending considerable time, I still have the wild hair or two left that requires special attention. The vacuum, unlike how it is described, does NOT pick up all of the hair being cut. In fact, you'll find your sink littered with remains after even the briefest of jobs. All of this said, I've used a few other trimmers in the past and this is one of the best. One more thing, the device feels light (and a bit cheap).
