Perfect all around trimmer.

Style: GB40Verified Purchase

What’s not to like? I bought my first one in November of 2014 and used it 1-2 times a week to trim my facial hair for 9 years so far. Does a decent job on the body hair as well and I used it to cut my hair on my head during the pandemic. I just started to notice some loss of battery life and hoped they were still making this beast. I had also dropped mine a couple of times and it wasn’t cared for as to the standards and it’s kept on working like a champ. Heck, I even took a picture of it so I could see if I could find the same model and wrote a review. I will definitely be buying another.

Wonderful, small, ergonomic razor for short beards

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2016

Style: GB40Verified Purchase

After many clean-shaven years I decided to grow a beard this fall. I wanted to keep it relatively short but not stubble-cropped. I have always used a blade to shave and so hadn't ever used an electric razor. I wanted an ergonomically-designed razor. I also travel a lot on business so wanted something small that wouldn't take up space in a carry-on suitcase. The Panasonic ER-GB40 S model fits my needs exactly.

I've been using it for three months and couldn't be more pleased. First, to address some of the complaints among reviewers here. I don't use it in the shower and I rarely flush it out with water. Whenever I do flush it and let it air-dry and then re-oil it. That's just common sense. It takes a few minutes and is no inconvenience. Also, please note that the light on the charging cradle does NOT go out when the razor is charged. The owner's manual specifically states (p. 5) that: "The charge indicator lamp glows and stays on until the plug is disconnected from a household outlet." So don't sit around waiting for the charge indicator to tell you when the razor is charged. Just leave it in the cradle for a couple days and it will be done.

I have never run out of juice while shaving. And I only charge it every 5-6 weeks so far. I've recharged it precisely twice in three months. That's hardly an inconvenience. I just put it in the cradle for a couple days and take it out when I shave in the morning, then replace it. And then after two days I put the charging cradle away for another six weeks.

Please understand that this is not a shaver for you if you want to maintain a long beard. The settings, in 0.5 mm increments, only go up to 10 mm (1 cm or 0.4 inches. That's more than enough for the beard length I want to maintain. I like, however, that the increments are 0.5 mm because I've been able during the past three months to experiment with a variety of short lengths on my beard and see what I like most. I'm particular about length so the small increments suit me.

This razor is also a joy to use. It fits wonderfully in my hands and feels and looks great. It's short and doesn't take up much space in my suitcase when I travel. I'm careful to nest it so the pressure of adjoining items in the suitcase don't turn it on. However, because of the way the handle is curved, it's pretty easy to nest it so it won't turn on. It would be nice if it had a lock feature but it doesn't and that's fine. I've taken three one-week business trips since I bought it, during which I packed and repacked it several times on the trip, and have had no problems.

I'm very happy with the razor and would buy it again if I were making the purchase today. It's a splendid product.

UPDATE (February 2018): I've been using this for 1-1/2 years now and am still delighted with it. I travel on business overseas regularly (nearly three months last year) and have never had trouble packing this in my suitcase and having it inadvertently turn on in transit. I rarely have to recharge it, and I never have to worry about taking the charger with me to countries having different voltage systems from the U.S. It's a splendid product. I'm a thoroughly-satisfied customer.

The battery lasts a pretty decent time when fully charged

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2016

Style: GB40Verified Purchase

Pros: The battery lasts a pretty decent time when fully charged. The docking station is really nice for convenience but the only downside is that you cannot use it when it's charging. I personally would sacrifice that for this docking station any day and plus the battery life makes up for it as well making it look more organized. The docking station has a red LED when charging. I really like that the adjustable head is numbered in mm for the various sizes and you can switch between different sizes quickly. It is also waterproof.

Cons: You have to thoroughly clean out the hairs that get left behind inside the trimmer after you remove the piece that cuts the hair. It comes off easily but using a brush to reach and wash all the little hairs out of that small deep section is tedious sometimes. You are also required to oil it before ever use but you can get away with doing it every other time as well. Will work really good as a trimmer but not at making fine lines you'll have to use your razor or a straight edge because making contact with your skin with the trimmer itself without the head on it is pretty painful. It would be nice if it had a battery indicator. The head of the trimmer is fairly small so not ideal for cutting hair on your head but does the job for trimming beards and other small areas.

High quality and effective trimmer

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2013

Style: GB40Verified Purchase

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!

Great shaver, bad charger.

Reviewed in Australia on October 6, 2018

Style: GB40Verified Purchase

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.

If you are looking for that one trimmer that does it all then this is the one . Waterproof and can be used in shower . the best part is the zero setting without the attachment it gives almost shaving like experience. And also it doesn't make much sound . it's so quite I thought it's not working !

Two things I don't like . First is the bulky charger , although great stand but not good for travel . secondly they should have 0.5 mm setting but you get only upto 1mm as the minimum.
But in spite of the negatives it the best trimmer I have used so far

Muy buen diseño ergonómico, ligera, poco ruido, varias ajustes para diferentes largos de barba, el precio que pagué es la mitad de otras opciones y es porque salió un modelo nuevo pero este modelo es muy funcional, solo falta ver en el tiempo su desempeño.
