This is the second Vidal Sassoon hair trimmer I have bought for my husband & am very disappointed with the cutting performance. The first trimmer we bought died after 3 years & we were very happy with it so decided to buy another VS trimmer. However, as I am the one who trims his hair, I have found this trimmer to cut his hair unevenly & have to spend a lot more time tidying up the cut with scissors which I didn't have to do with the first trimmer we owned. I have tried different cutting guides & settings & still can't get the hair cut even all over. I would not recommend this product.
