This model performs as well as two earlier Norelco models I have owned.
However, one big disappointment, they eliminated the “corded” feature.

I expected better from Philips-Norelco
While the trimmer performed well enough for about a year, the rechargeable batteries have died out, and are not replaceable. That might even be o.k.

Phillips Norelco T765 Accutrim Beard and Moustache Trimmer
My husband has used many of the trimmers and prefers this one only. Says that it is the best he has come across. Can’t find them locally so we have to order them from Amazon.com.

Battery is a ripoff
As others have pointed out Norelco has deliberately made it impossible to replace the rechargeable battery thus forcing you to replace the whole unit when the battery wears out,…

Works okay, and then the battery goes
After just one year the rechargeable battery suddenly doesn’t hold a charge. The battery is not replaceable. For my next purchase I’m staying away from Norelco.

I had the previous Norelco introductory model for about two years. The rechargeable batteries, as others have noted, wore out rather quickly. I only use a trimmer about five months of the year and only a few times a week so I didn't really use the trimmer enough to justify it dying so quickly.

Thinking this was all just a quirk, I bought this new model to replace the one I threw out. It was a total waste of money!

The biggest issue is the lack of power in the motor. This thing, even when fully charged, will PULL the hair off your face if you trim too quickly. The blades just aren't moving fast enough. If you trim slowly you're OK. If you're in a hurry and trim quickly you're in for a painful surprise. I never had this problem with the previous model or any other beard trimmer for that matter.

The second issue I have is with the trimmer head which they supposedly "improved" from the previous model. The new head is this delicate flap that goes up and down as you turn the dial. If you don't treat your trimmer delicately (and who does?) and throw this thing in your shaving kit or luggage you just might find that you've broken this small piece of plastic and thus made your trimmer completely worthless. I also found the new head to be very poor at keeping a unified level in my beard, something that really wasn't a problem before.

Norelco has lost my business. The next trimmer I buy will be from another company. Based on many positive reviews here on Amazon it looks like Remington has some good models.

Over 2 years and still works flawlessly
I received this trimmer over 2 years ago for Christmas and it works better than any other beard trimmer I have used.

Neat & Trim wireless
The Product does as stated and seems to work fine. However, this trimmer may look identical to the trimmer it replaced, it is much more light weight and holds a charge less than…

Handy trimmer
I’ve only owned about 3 different, but I like this one the best so far. The best feature is the length adjustment.

Very Happy with the T765
Bought this as a replacement for a T765 I’ve had several years. Thought my old one was dieing so I ordered this one. Forgot to charge the old one so now I’ve got two.
