Review of Norelco AccuTrim Beard & Moustache Trimmer

I had a T930 for years. Based on pictures, the T765 was the closest that I could find online that did *not* have the Vacuum feature and looked to be the same design as the T930.First, I was "upgraded" by the seller to a T770 Vacuum model without my permission because the T765 they advertised was no longer in stock.The T770 is bigger and bulkier, yet as light as a feather because it is essentially a cheap piece of plastic when compared with my T930.Then I discover that Norelco no longer has the small pop-up precision trimmer on *any* of their current Mustache and Beard Trimmers. How can you accurately trim a beard and mustache without the precision trimmer - especially when they make them so bulky to accommodate the vacuum system??I ended up dismantling my T930 and soldering in a new AA rechargeable battery which will hopefully buy me another year or two to find a suitable replacement - by a manufacturer *other than* Norelco.

Review of Philips Norelco T765 AccuTrim Beard and Moustache Trimmer

What's bad:
1. It has a single wide-blade that is supposed to be used for both the beard and the moustache. Without a narrow-blade it is very difficult to define the line of moustache because the wide blade cuts at un-intended places too.
2. The blade is so weak that it can't be used to form the outline of the beard cleanly. Hairs outside the outline of the beard can't get a close cut.

Why 1 star--For an important thing like this, one can be either completely satisfied or completely un-satisfied, there can't be anything between the two; nobody likes to spend money and time to settle for something mediocre.

Within a week I switched to another trimmer and I like it very much. Its Wahl Groomsman XL2, I bought it at Walmart. It has dual blades; and it works great in trimming and removing unwanted hairs (the only bad thing about this is it is a bit noisy compared to Norelco T765).
