 Just what the wife ordered! |

The Philips Norelco G480 All in One Premium Grooming Kit is a wonderful, jam-packed kit for the men in our life! (Okay, so I used it too!) It includes a full-sized trimmer, charger/storage stand, mini-shaver, moustache comb, clipper comb, nose trimmer, precision trimmer, fine detailing blade, and eyebrow comb. And everything rinses clean with no oiling!! (A huge plus for this gal's man!)
I have been cutting my husband's hair for quite some time now - and this was so very simple to use and got the job done effectively and neatly! I loved it! And with just a rinse under the sink it was clean! Loved that too!!
Hubby tested it on eyebrows, goatee (sp), mustache, etc - and gave it 2 thumbs up! (I may have also tested on my legs - but don't tell him!!)
I highly recommend this kit! It's got everything you can need and does an excellent job!

I'm very satisfied -- the best grooming kit I've used, and at a very reasonable price
|
| Reviewer: Nathan Andersen, Florida |
I have a goatee and have used several different grooming kits over the past 10 or so years. This is by far my favorite. Just a quick list of features I like:
1. there are 5 different tools, and they are easy to switch back and forth -- a full sized trimmer, an ear and nose groomer, a shaver, and two smaller sized trimmers for precision detailing.
2. there are 3 different comb attachments -- and they are all transparent, which makes it easy to see where the blade is cutting, plus each has 8 different numbered settings so it is easy to control the distance between the comb guard and the blade.
3. the carrying case is very solid and has spots for each of the attachments, so it is easy to store.
4. the blades cut nicely -- I've tried each one and each seems to do just what it is supposed to. I probably won't give up my other shaver for the shaver attachment on this one, but it does work fine.
5. it is simple to adjust, so I can cut my goatee and moustache and sideburns to just the right length.
6. the attachments can be washed in running water -- no need for oil.
7. does everything I need and more -- I never thought I'd use a nose hair trimmer, but it sure beats plucking the hairs out with tweezers.
A few minor complaints:
1. it would be nicer if the recharge plug fit directly into the storage unit -- as it stands you have to take the groomer out in order to plug it in and then it won't stand in the storage unit until it is unplugged.
2. I can't send email or navigate road maps or listen to mp3s with the all-in-one premium grooming kit.
3. otherwise, for the quality of design at this price it would be hard to beat. |
Well-Groomed Thoroughbred

We know there's a well-groomed thoroughbred hiding somewhere under all that stubble...the Philips Norelco Grooming Kit, G-480 makes it easy to find him.
The Philips Norelco Grooming Kit, G-480, has a handy storage and charging stand. It is versatile with it's 3-trimmer pieces, 3-combs, a fine detailing blade and a mini shaver.
Dad: "The Full Size Trimmer Blade trimmed my beard and moustache evenly using it with the easy to attach 9-position comb. The Precision Trimmer was excellent for closer beard and moustache hair detailing with the 4-position comb. The Ear, Nose and Eyebrow Trimmer, Mini Shaver and Fine Detailing Blade worked well around my other face and neck areas. The pieces are easily interchangeable from the Trimmer Handle by just pulling them off and putting them on for quick attention to the needy areas of the face, neck and head. I didn't use the hair comb, yet, as I didn't need a trim. It's a confidence builder, as I can "Do It Myself!" Think of the Money I will Save!"

Surprisingly good grooming kit
|
| Reviewer: Elliot Knapp, Seattle, Washington United States |
I'm used to using a Conair hair trimmer to cut my own hair, so when the Vine program offered this, I was really excited. On first receiving it, I had my doubts--it's narrower than your average hair trimmer, the battery life is only 35 minutes, and it can't be used plugged into the wall. However, after a full charge, this thing cut my hair in half the time my Conair does!
I think the secret is the tiny blades--they don't get catch the hair awkwardly like others do, and they are really sharp! Although the attachments look fragile and cheap, the size adjustment apparatus works well and easily, and changing the heads is also easy. The only thing that's really cheap is the stand, which does little to hold the attachments in place, but it's a pretty minor problem. Both of the smaller heads and attachments work well for sculpting lines and trimming eyebrows/sideburns/beards, and I tried the nosehair trimmer for fun (don't really have nosehair problems) and it seemed to do the job, although it tickled a bit. The only warning I have for potential users is that the tiny blades CAN cut your skin if you're not careful non-level areas--I got "bit" on the ear accidentally, so you have to avoid pushing very hard at all. Other than that, this is a zippy little kit and one that I would definitely pay the rather modest price to own. |
Great affordable grooming kit
|
| Reviewer: TheBandit, SEA-TAC |
This isn't an expensive set, and considering it's affordability I don't really have anything negative to say about it. But I should mention that I am simply not an overly hairy guy. I even brought that up in a separate review I wrote for another excellent Norelco product, because I can understand guys with more excessive beard growth will could have a different perspective.
I found everything in this set does the job it is intended for. I like the ability to charge it up and found that it holds the charge for roughly a half hour of cordless use, as advertised. In fact, rather than list a bunch of info readily available in the product description I will just reiterate that this entire set seems to operate exactly as promised. I found it most useful for the hair clipper comb, which is easy to use and really worthwhile to avoid having to pay at a haircut place for a slight trim. The multiple positions - nine of them - make it pretty much impossible to screw up your hair (at least as I've experienced so far!). I don't need an eyebrow trimmer (my eyebrows aren't very bushy) - nor a nosehair trimmer (I just think it's easier to yank those annoying suckers out without a special device). So I can't speak on the effectiveness of those features.
The product looks great in the included storage stand. I honestly have no reservations in recommending this product. I'm a pretty low-maintenance guy overall, I don't spend a lot of time in the mirror fretting over every detail of "my look." That might be why I'm not pickier about these types of products. Not that there's anything wrong with being 'metro' or whatever. Just saying that I'm not into shaping my facial hair into unusual designs or patterns - and if you happen to be, you might be a little nitpickier over the functionality of this set. |
