Cordless Men's Beard Trimmer With Precision Dial, Adjustable 19 Length Setting, Rechargeable Battery, Washable - ER-GB40-S (Blue)

Here is the bottom line on this trimmer for me - it works very quickly and leaves me with a trim and neat beard. The most important things that I wanted in a beard trimmer was something that would be quiet, work quickly and evenly, and clean up easily. This trimmer hits a home run on each of these things. My beard is multi-grained, pushing in several different directions, but I get an even trim every time with just a minute or two of work. Cleaning it up couldn't be easier, just run the whole thing under water. When I'm done, it sits on an attractive charging stand. I kept it plugged in for the first few days, but then I decided to see how long the battery will last on its own. It's been a little over a week, and it still seems fully charged, which is good news for taking it on trips! And the noise... well, there almost isn't any noise at all while you're trimming! I do have a couple of small complaints. First of all, while you don't have to worry about sharpening the blade, the instructions say you should oil it before and after each use. It took me a little bit to figure out exactly how to do that, because the instructions were unclear. It turns out that you just pop off the razor and squeeze a drop of oil onto the two coils and the one razor. Problem solved, although I irrationally find it annoying to take fifteen seconds to oil it after every use. However, I do have a problem with the comb on top of the trimmer. It is really difficult to get off, and in just two weeks I think that I've already broken the pieces that hold the comb down. On the other hand, now the comb slides off easily but still stays put while I'm trimming, so this hasn't been an issue so far. Overall, this is a great product. Because I've never used a different beard trimmer I can't speak to whether another trimmer might be just as good for less money, but I'm very happy with my purchase!

[Pros] Only 1 Attachment for 19 adjustable settings (!!!), waterproof (!!!), ergonomic, powerful enough to not require too many swipes. [Cons] None that I've found. Maybe other color options for the rubber would be nice? This is the perfect beard trimmer, especially at this price range (was purchased holiday season 2014 for $35). I understand that some people might give a bad review because they got a defective product; sometimes that just happens. That's one reason we shop Amazon, it's no hassle to get a replacement. -- But 95% of these complaints I'm seeing really aren't legitimate. Allow me to note the strengths of this trimmer, before debunking some of the cons: ~ The 19 Setting Single Attachment: Anyone who really maintains facial hair understands how crucial fine length-settings are. 1 millimeter's difference in length of hair on a face is noticeable. There's plenty of horrible trimmers out there with a couple of set attachments; with this one you can adjust in 0.5mm increments with JUST ONE attachment to keep up with (and clean!!!) ~ Waterproof: ... ... It's waterproof. Want to use it in the shower? It's waterproof. Want to clean the head? It's waterproof. Beard trimmings sticking to the rubber handle and can't be brushed off (an old pet-peeve of mine). IT'S WATERPROOF. ~ Ergonomics and Power: Pretty simple on this; it fits the hand nicely, the head isn't overly large so you can pop off the attachment and do detail work, and the motor provides ample power to clip hair cleanly. Now to address the common criticisms, which don't make a lot of sense to me honestly: ~ "I have to oil it after every use! Wah wah!": Um... use some common sense here. The instructions do say to oil it after every use, but... come on guys. Really? It's able to be used WET. If you're constantly running it through water, would you need to reapply oil more? Sure. Too much work for you? Use it as a dry razor and oil it as you normally would. -- You do not have to oil this any more than any other trimmer, unless of course you are washing away the oil all the time. ~ "Battery no last me long, only 50 minutes. Wah wah!": ... Ok, I'm noticing a trend here. Apparently, technology should run on fairy dust and magical rainbow farts or something. Who out there is seriously using their beard trimmer for 50 minutes in one use??? Or even a week??? So... let me get this straight: It's too much to ask that this hand-held, waterproof, compact beard-cutting machine be charged for a day once a week. ... ... ... ... Ok Justin Beiber, let's go to Spoiled Prince Land. I could go on with some of the other comments I've seen about parts snapping off or something -- Again, I'm not saying there has never been a defective product shipped, but I will say this thing is really heavy and sturdy and well... people who complain about having to reapply oil after WASHING IT OFF probably also have clumsy hands and don't pay attention to the way they are supposed to push/pull something and just break it. Conclusion: Best beard trimmer 35 bucks could buy. This should be a 4.5+ Star rated device.

I'm very happy with this shaver. It cuts well, is well constructed, and from what I read online will likely last several years. This is to be expected from Panasonic, as they have always made high quality products. The downside for me was that I accidentally plugged the charger into a 240 volt power supply (it's only rated for 110 volt, not 110-220 volt like I had assumed). At first, the charger lit up and appeared to be working fine, so I left it to charge and walked away. When I came back I found the light was off, and the charger was broken. I opened it up to try and replace a fuse, but the unit does not have a fuse and is essentially a throw away. The internals of the charger are pretty basic: a few cables and (I think) a transformer (which is normally glued in place but I dug around with a screwdriver trying to free it, looking for a fuse). A replacement charger cost me $50 with shipping. I don't like things that I can't fix. One more note: the charger takes 15 hours to fully charge the handset. It only allows a trickle of power through over a long time, as I think Panasonic assumed that you would always return the handset to the cradle after use. I found this annoying as the charger could be made to automatically turn itself off once the unit was fully charged.

Muy bueno producto, corta la barba perfectamente y es muy fácil de limpiar. Llegó antes de lo previsto y sin ningun costo de importación.

I have been using past 10 months. it's an amazing and premium product. Noiseless and effective operation Compared to Philips trimmers compact size and beautiful body. Waterproof trimmer we can use under the shower.By the way, it's high cost but worth for your money. I really felt the love with the product. I strongly recommended

Does not cut well leaves long hairs when trimming beard.

I have been using trimmers of panasonic since 12 years and the evalution was from ER 206,ER 207,EB Gb 20 and now recently purchased EB Gb 40 ... I trim day by with zero.... bcz i i feel allergetic to shave.... Those who trim daily or day by day with zero had the same problem as i.... I suggest EB Gb 20 ... Bcz it is cheaper in cost than Er Gb 40 and the blade for the both are interchangeble..the blade of gb 20 fits for the gb 40... So I suggest ergb 20 which is cheaper... Trimmers of panasonic are good
