Wahl Trim N Vac Vacuuming Beard and Mustache Trimmer Rechargeable Cord / Cordless with Durachrome Finish
Best Beard Trimmer Reviews and Information
How pleased would your wife be if you could shave each morning without leaving a sink full of stubble? Wahls Trim-n-Vac beard and mustache trimmer has a vacuum intake port at the trimmer head to capture and draw cut facial hair into a collection chamber at the shavers base. The vacuum is, at minimum, 85 percent effective (depending on the length of the hair being cut), and the collection chamber is easy to open and clean. This innovative design, along with the Trim-n-Vacs abi (more...)

My wife bought this product for me, probably as much of a gift for herself as for me, as I’m sure she grew tired of seeing little hairs in and around the sink everytime I trimmed my goatee (no matter how hard one tries to clean them up a few stray hairs always seem to stick around). The concept sounds good: the Trim-n-Vac vacuums up your beard/moustache hairs as you trim them, instead of having them fall onto the sink or counter causing a big mess.
For the most part, the Trim-n-Vac delivers on its promise. While it does not successfully vacuum 100% of the hair being trimmed, it gets most of it, making post-trim clean up a much quicker and easier process.
The only real major complaint I have about this product is its sheer bulk. This is one of those products where I almost wish I had waited a few product generations to get one, assuming that eventually the size of this product will more closely resemble that of a standard moustache/beard trimmer. The product in its current form is simply so large that it is difficult to see what you’re doing. This is especially a problem when I’m shaping/edging my goatee. Since so much of my face is obstructed by the Trim-n-Vac it is very difficult to insure that I’m trimming everything straight and evenly. During this portion of the beard trimming process I really begin to long for my much-smaller, non-vacuuming beard trimmer, which made it much easier for me to see what I was doing. Then I realize I have barely any clean-up to do and I don’t miss it nearly as much.

The vacuum is not powerful enough to pick up shavings. Even the slightest tilt will cause shavings to miss the vacuum receptacle and litter your sink. Very disappointing product from leading trimmer maker Wahl. Brought mine back and got a Norelco T860, which I recommend for its Acu-Control system.

gets the job done
it trims. it does what it’s supposed to.
it doesn’t “vacuum” very well. i’d say about 60% of the trimmings make it into the vacuumed compartment…

Pros: The battery life is nice, I’ve taken it with me travelling andit has never felt like the battery was running out of juice.

Awesome!
Bought as a Christmas present for our son, and he loves it! But, I have to say, our daughter in law loves it even better! No mess for her to clean up.

Great Product
I have found the product to work as represented. The Vacuum works well as long as you stay within what the manufacturer recommendations of the product.

Very happy with it
This is is my second Wahl Trim N Vac. My first one lasted 5 years until the battery didn’t fully recharge any more.

This product was very well worth the money I spent on it. It works perfect and I recommend it to anyone that has a problem with razor bumps.

good product, poor instructions
I had to figure out how to orient the trimmer relative to my face, but once I did it worked very nicely.

I can’t do without it
For over 5 years I’ve owned a Wahl Trim n Vac. I bought mine at WalMart for $49.95 back then. It has been well worth the price.

Great Product!
If you want to trim hair and don’t need anything fancy and don’t want to spend $50+, then this trimmer rocks! It does the basics and it does a GREAT job of it.
