Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco G370 All-in-1 Grooming System
Customer Review: Buy Something Else
Summary: 2 Stars
I've owned a number of beard trimmers, and I fell for the low price of this one. That was a mistake. Like I always say, "Buy Right, Buy Once, Buy Wrong, Buy Twice."
This thing is poorly made, the attachments feel sort of loose when clicked in place, and some of them come off while you're using the trimmer.
It will nick you if you aren't careful, and the recharge stand is BIG, which takes up a lot of space. The attachments fit loosely in the stand, which means that every time you brush them with a towel or your hand, or a power cord, they fall out of the stand, which is irritating.
The plastic is cheap as hell. The trimmer does a good job of trimming, in general, but you'll definitely have the feeling that you're using a piece of junk.
The charging base gets full of hair clippings, which isn't great, and the plastic on the base is about as cheap as can be.
Can't anyone make quality products anymore? What I really wanted was a BRAUN beard trimmer, but they apparently don't make the damn thing anymore! BRAUN makes GOOD stuff...
Customer Review: A GOOD VALUE FOR WHAT IT IS
Summary: 4 Stars
This grooming system is versatile and does not take up much space on the counter. Yes, the build quality could be better, and the way that the parts combine and re-combine is somewhat confusing, but at around $20 (with free shipping if combined with another purchase), you can't go wrong.
I have been using this system intermittently for a couple of months now. While I would not substitute it for my regular razor, it is great for quick touch-ups, thinning, and definition. So far, the battery is strong and seems to hold its charge for a long time.
For best results, take the time with scissors to carefully open the clamshell package, give the directions at least a quick read-thru, and study how the system works. It's pretty ingenious, really.
The instructions are available online as a PDF. Reading this PDF will help you decide whether this purchase is for you. Here is a currently working link:

Customer Review: swiss army knife of clipping
Summary: 4 Stars
I've always meant to pick up a clipper. My first purchase was a cheap Wahl
that - while effective - was loud, was a bit awkward to manage with the
power cord, and failed after a few uses.
When shopping for a replacement, I opted for the more familiar Norelco name
and the G370. It's small, quiet, and works just great. It's a bit
smaller than expected and requires several passes for an even trim.
It's designed to run purely off the rechargeable battery, so plan on
letting it charge for 10 hours before initial use or after the battery
runs out. It runs for about 30-40 minutes before requiring recharging.
I can't say the instruction booklet was very clear, and it takes a bit
of poking around to figure out how things interlock with the accessories;
however, it's not rocket science and it is designed rather cleverly.
Whether you're saving money on haircuts or pretending you have cancer,
this is certainly worth the price.
Customer Review: Still Working After 3 Years! Highly Recommended!
Summary: 5 Stars
This Norelco "G370 All-in-1 Grooming System" has held up remarkably well with fairly heavy usage over the past three years. I keep a very short beard and mustache (see my "Profile" picture) so do a trim every two or three days. Since I am also getting older, there is now a lot more hair where there aught not to be hair (ears, nose, eyebrows, etc) and fortunately this set has attachments to handle all of those needs.
The set comes with the handy caddy tray that holds the attachments and the charger cord can be connected through the bottom so the trimmer recharges when it is seated. The trimmer can easily run through three or four of my sessions without needing to be recharged, which is great when traveling since it is often not necessary to bring my whole kit along.
My only real issue with the trimmer is that with the spacer attached the hair gets crammed down in between the attachment and trimmer body, making it messy to clean out.
Highly Recommended!

Customer Review: Very Happy w/ This
Summary: 4 Stars
I had been looking for a trimmer for me and my husband and saw this one. I read all the reviews I could find for it and a few others. Then I saw that my dad had this trimmer and asked him how he liked it. He said he really liked it, that the attachments worked well on it, it held charge well, and it didn't pull his hair or skin. So, I went ahead and ordered it. I am glad I did. My husband really likes it. He has used several of the attachments for it and likes those too. It does work well on delicate areas, but only use the bigger timmer head. The small one will grab and pull. Overall, we are very please w/ this purchase.
*UPDATE* 03/19/11
This is still working very well. It holds the charge for a very long time. My husband has used the foil attachment regularly since he got this, and he said it is the only attachment that pulls. But he said that it didn't pull enough to really hurt, so he still uses it. He is still very satisfied w/ this item.
