If used correctly, you won’t have a huge mess with this Norelco trimmer5
I can’t help but laugh when I remember all those reviews I saw here about the Norelco T-770 Accu-Vac Beard Trimmer from people that whined & bitched about how the vacuum wouldn’t get it all. Compared to the previous model I had from them (a Norelco T-860), the difference is extremely noticible. Hell, it was like the difference between night & day!! There was barely ANY leftover hair at all after I was done!! I seriously have to wonder if those people were even using this product the correct way.

In any case, the Norelco T-770 will be most effective when you do these two things:

1) When trimming your beard, make sure not to move the trimmer too fast & to make smooth & gentle movements. Doing so will make the vacuum more effective & powerful.

2) Makre sure to clean out the hair collection chamber after each use to achieve the beard trimmer’s maximum suction power. The more that’s in there, the less suction power you’ll have, and the greater the mess you’ll have.

These two simple steps will greatly reduce the mess you’ll have to deal with.

The look and the color scheme of the Norelco T-770 has been upgraded. The hair collection chanber is totally clear now, and the color scheme is now totally black with white lettering. It looks a hell of a lot cooler than the one depicted in the photo that Amazon.com displays. Also, being that there’s a built-in vacuum, the plug has increased a little in weight.

I don’t like, though, how Norelco chose to not include a canvas traveling case with the T-770 model. I would’ve loved to be able to put everything (i.e. beard trimmer, charging cord, cleaning brush) away neatly. For most people, though, I guess putting everything in a drawer will be just fine. I also didn’t like discovering that (like with my previous Norelco trimmer) that the same small & puny-looking cleaning brush I had before ended up being included with this model. In short, it’s too short to get the job done. Norelco seriously needs to put out a cleaning brush that looks more like the ones that Braun puts out. They’re a hell of a lot more bigger & get the job done more effetively (I use one to regularly clean it, so I’d know).

But in the grand scheme of things, those two things aren’t that big of a deal. I think I got my money’s worth with this purchase. Including this model, Norelco puts out three different versions of their AccuVac beard trimmer. The model that’s above the one I purchased (the T-870) actually takes an extra hour more to charge up (11 hours). There is one model above that, though (the T-970) that charges up in less than an hour. But when you think about it, beard trimming is something that (unlike shaving) you’ll only do every couple of days, so I don’t really get why that’d be important. Especially since Norelco charges almost double the price for it. So if you want an AccuVac beard trimmer from Norelco without having to pay a high price, I’d get the Norelco T-770. You get more bang for your buck.

Better than the others4
I bought this to replace a Wahl vac trimmer. The Norelco works better for the most part. The vacuum works well and the comb sets my beard at the right length. The charging indicators help to prevent the NiCad from taking a ‘set’ and to keep the unit running in top condition. All in all a very pleasant piece of work.

Comfortable Solution to an Embarrassing Problem4
My first trimmer was a Panasonic ER411NC. It was a very good trimmer, providing me with an elegant solution to a problem that most men start to have once they reach middle age: nasal hair. The Panasonic has a circular tip that has small, slit-like openings. Inside the tip is a spinning blade. The hair gets caught between the slits and the spinning blade. That is how it cuts. I wrote a review of that trimmer back in July of 2004 and gave it 4 stars.

My second trimmer was another Panasonic, ER421KC. This one had a small LED light to help you see while trimming under your nose. I bought it to replace the ER411NC after it fell off the counter and damaged its blades. The ER421NC is very uncomfortable. Althought it uses the same blade design as the ER411NC, the motor seems to be weaker. It is easily stopped. The spinning blade sometimes cannot cut the hair that gets caught between the slits and itself. The hair can force the blades to stop spinning. It will be hard to remove without pulling the hair out. This is very uncomfortable, to say the least. It will bring tears to your eyes.

I bought this Norelco (the subject of this review) to replace the second Panasonic. The design of the Norelco is different. It cannot be forced to stop by your hair. It uses the same cutting design as your sideburn and mustache trimmer. So far, it has proven itself to be comfortable. However, it does take longer and more effort to trim with the Norelco. You will have to make sure that the hairs that you want to trim are caught between the oscillating blades of the trimmer. And, since the blades are small, this could take a few minutes of your time. Whereas with the Panasonic, all you need do is stick the tip in your nose and move it from side to side. With the Norelco, you will have to be more deliberate. However, it is the most comfortable of the three. Plus, you can use the Norelco to trim your eyebrows, if you need that sort of thing. It is also the easiest to clean out of the three.

I believe this will be a good trimmer for you, if you value comfort above any other consideration. This trimmer is waterproof and it can be washed with warm water.

Best Product of its kind!5
I have tried them all and this relatively inexpensive product is the best by far. I believe the rotary style trimmers, like all of the Panasonics, have a blade clearance too great to give a close cut. This trimmer, on the other hand, cuts nearly as close as a conventional safety razor. Buy one. You will not be disapoppointed.
