The blade doesn't trim the beard off short enough to seem clean. Doesn't give the clear clean look. I bought it hoping that shaping with it and clearing the excess growth for my family member would seem professionally done. So I was quite disappointed about that. However leaving the length of the trim aside, everything else about it is great. The feel, look, accessories etc. At the end of the day, I don't know much about trimmers really. So maybe this is the maximum a trimmer can trim? Who knows..but I definitely had higher expectations as I was recommend this one and I paid quite a bit for it.
