Panasonic ER-GB80 Wet & Dry Electric Hair, Body & Beard Trimmer for Men, Hair Clipper Cordless, 3 Attachments, 40 Cutting Lengths, UK 3 Pin Plug, Grey

I've been using the Panasonic ER-GB80 Wet & Dry Electric Beard, Hair and Body Trimmer for over three years now, and overall, I'm very satisfied with its performance. It’s a solid trimmer that has consistently delivered good results, with only a few minor drawbacks.Performance and VersatilityThis trimmer does a great job, especially when it comes to maintaining a beard. My beard tends to be quite unruly, but with about five passes over each section, it trims down evenly and efficiently. While I only use one of the attachments for my beard, the trimmer comes with a variety of accessories, making it versatile enough for different grooming tasks, including head shaving. The clipper attachment is particularly useful, though it does require regular cleaning and oiling to keep it functioning well.Wet & Dry FeatureThe wet and dry functionality is a nice addition, although I primarily use it for rinsing and cleaning the trimmer. For those who prefer trimming in the shower or with shaving foam, this feature could be more beneficial.Battery Life and ChargingOne of the few areas where this trimmer could be improved is the initial charging time, which is a bit long. However, once fully charged, the battery holds its charge impressively well, so this isn’t a major issue. Even after years of use, the battery life remains reasonable, although like most rechargeable devices, it does start to wear down eventually.Maintenance and AccessoriesThe trimmer comes with a handy case, a charger, a little brush, some oil, and instructions. The oil that comes with it lasts for ages if used sparingly, which is a plus. The clipper part is removable, making it easier to clean, but it does tend to collect hair. I find that using a small air duster (like the ones used for cleaning a PC keyboard) works perfectly for keeping it hair-free, which is much easier than trying to clean it manually.DurabilityAfter three years, the trimmer still works as well as it did when I first got it. The build quality is solid, and despite regular use, it has shown no signs of significant wear and tear.Final VerdictThe Panasonic ER-GB80 is a reliable and durable trimmer that offers good value for money. It's versatile enough to handle various grooming tasks, although I mainly use it for beard trimming. While the initial charging time is a bit long, the battery life is impressive, and the trimmer comes with a useful selection of accessories. If you're looking for a dependable trimmer that will last, this one is a great choice.Pros:Reliable performance, especially for beard trimmingVersatile with a good selection of accessoriesWet & dry functionality is convenient for cleaningSolid build quality and long-lasting battery lifeCons:Initial charging time is a bit longRequires regular cleaning, especially the clipper part

I've waited to review this trimmer until I tested it in every way this is supposed to be used for.It is a good beard trimmer, does the job nicely, but I had better beard trimmers in the past.As Body hair trimmer it's good, but due to it's "chunkier" size it can prove to be rather tricky to get where you need to especially in "sensitive" places. Not suitable for ladies use according to my partner due to it's size.As Hair trimmer this is rather poor. I would called this an "emergency hair trimmer" as it clogged up constantly and I have rather thin and very short hair. If I tried to cut my sons hair with this, it would probably burn out! If you intend to use it mainly as Hair trimmer, I would not bother and get a proper one...Also, the instruction manual suggests to oil (oil supplied) the blades before and after every use! I mean seriously?! Who in their right mind does that?Overall I give this 4*, as I bought it at reduced price and it does the job as beard and body hair trimmer for me.Have I bought this at full price, it would have been returned as there are far better trimmers out there...

I'm on my second one of these, the first lasted six years of 2-3 times a week usage mostly in the shower but was starting to lose battery power and the blade was less sharp and was catching/pulling a little.For beard, it's excellent. For head hair, it blocks up if your hair is 3-4cm long but works really well for a weekly trim to 8-10mm when it hasn't grown much. The side trimmer works well for my neck and ears.I like it, there's nothing else from a good brand that I could see that is waterproof and has a side trimmer. I bought the second one at a terrific Black Friday price, but it's good value at anything below £50 in 2024/25. There are at least three listings for this clipper on Amazon at different price.

Purchased to replace an old Braun trimmer.It feels solid, is easy to adjust, and works well. It feels well engineered.The blade adjuster is excellent and solid.I use it for hair cutting so no idea how it works on a beard!Only slight issue is I find the combs need more cleaning than the Braun. They seem to clog with hair. But they are easy to clean.

I've been using beard trimmers for approx. 30 years and I have to say this is the best by far. Good weight, feels comfortable in the hand, easy to use grade settings and it cuts through stubble with ease. Appears to be very well built. I have quite thick stable and it is done easily within a minute! The battery life is fantastic too. Definitely recommend👌

This item works well and feels quite good quality.Unfortunately for me as a beard trimmer I find the head to be too wide for any cuts without the guard and with the guards on is way too bulky.ProsGood quality feelGreat battery lifeExcellent push switchBetter as a hair trimmer than a beard shaverLots of attachmentsConsTo big and bulkyNo good for any kind of detailing

I mainly use to keep me beard short and the settings are pretty spot on. Good cut and no snagging. Came with charge in it but fully depleted the battery and then fully charged it which was quick. After this I’ve only just had to put on charge after 6 weeks.

As described 100%. 'Jobs' done superbly, but I would say take extra care on under-carriage areas!
