Useful for rapid reference
Infinitely useful when published, a classic now and great to have to hand even in the days of wikipedia as it presents tables rather than individual pages for each element and compound

Does what it says...
Very sturdy, great for long term storage of house contents. Smaller sizes stack on larger ones, making organising in a moving van or storage room easier. No proper space to put labels, but you can stick them anywhere. Lids are good, but reduce the 'lock' between crates stacked on each other and I only use them on the top layer for crates storing heavy items.
Highly recommended!

Decent, but no charge indicator
Bought to beat the lockdown, I needed several features:
Cordless - tick. I've not tested the full run-time, but it was certainly enough for a haircut, beard trim and full shave plus stubble shortening x3. I'd guess over an hour so far. It's also lightweight - I guess the batteries are Lithium ion rather than Nickel hydride which are a lot heavier. This makes for much easier handling, especially when doing the back of your head.
Wide range of combs: knowing I wasn't going to attempt a faded cut I needed a range of combs to work out which would be right for an all-over look. The standard set of 1-8 are provided, for a length between 1/8th and 1 inch. It doesn't come with combs designed to go round the ears, unlike some. but the ones provided are sufficient for a reasonable look.
Tools: I had a ear/nose trimmer before, but it wasn't very good, so I wanted one trimmer with all the extra. This one has everything I need: narrow trimmer for beard, wide trimmer for hair, ear/nose trimmer and a narrow twin foil razor. The last isn't suitable for a full facial shave, I suspect it's more for tidying up around the edges of a trim. I prefer a wet shave anyway.
Additional comments: it's a suitable size for gripping without being cumbersome.it's not loud and it looks ok. There is one major omission: there is no indication of when it's charging or when it's full or nearly empty. This is quite annoying and could result in going flat halfway through a cut, which would be embarrassing.
In all, a good purchase, just remember to keep it topped up.
