Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco G370 All-in-1 Grooming System
Customer Review: good trimmer
Summary: 4 Stars
As the general consensus seemed to indicate that this was the best value for money, I bought this and haven't been disappointed. There is a large number of useful attachments and although I haven't used all of them the hair trimmer with different lock settings, the mini trimmer and the mini shaver have worked as well as I expected.
There are also some useful information on the info sheet. The extensions all fit in the attachment stand (which looks like it could have been sturdier) pretty snugly and while cleaning the extensions after is slightly bothersome it is nothing too bad especially considering the price.
As the top reviewer said the plastic clam shell packaging was a bother and I came off with a couple of scratches from trying to open it with a pair of scissors while making sure I did not cut up the info sheet. I have yet to figure out why companies still insist on using these.
Customer Review: Reasonable trimmer, flimsy build for hair attachment
Summary: 3 Stars
This is relevant for G370/G380: I purchased the trimmer as I liked the convenience of a cord free appliance. I travel a lot, so it's great to be able to pack and take with me.
It's very convenient, works really well - I use for trimming hair only.
Major downside is the flimsy adjustable hair trimmer. The adjustments are not very secure when fitted to the trimmer, however, the flimsy plastic teeth on the comb easily break. I've contacted Philips/Norelco and it's not possible to buy replacement hair trimmer attachments, they can't even ship you one for free. As the item is sold with a Two Year Warranty in the US they will replace the full product for you. Seems like such a waste of money in return shipping, packagaing etc.
Come on Philips, just come out with a sturdier hair trimmer attachment that you provide an appropriate hard case for that can easily be used whilst travelling.
Customer Review: Good tool for bearded men
Summary: 4 Stars
The grooming system is good for maintaining a beard. The small shaver is good for removing growth in the parts of the face that you do not want bearded. The trimming system (a small and a large trimmer) are good for trimming beard edges. The large trimmer has a calibrated comb that allows you to trim the hair on the top of the head. That is good for cutting down the number of haircuts that you need. With another setting you can also trim the beard (I wear a fairly short facial beard) The nose and ear hair trimmer works, but not perfectly. It is noisy when you trim in the ears - I was nervous whether there was the potential of damaging hearing. It also requires many passes to get at all the hairs. I use the small trimmer initially to remove long hears and then I follow up with the nose and ear trimmer. The charger is not a hi-tech charger. It only works on US voltages, and there is no protection for the NiCad batteriesCustomer Review: Breaks WAY too easily
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this product because the price was right. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. I have had this for just over 4 months and have treated it no rougher then any other personal grooming device I own. One day, I dropped it in the sink and it is now completely useless to me because the beard trimmer BROKE! I can use the other attachments , but it is now unable to perform it's main task. For $20 bucks, I didn't expect much, but I certainly expected more. I would advise against this product. The build quality of the main unit is solid, but the attachments are flimsy and break WAY too easily. I own other Norelco products, and I have to say they cut corners wherever they can. I hope in the future they put out a line of products that uses quality materials rather then the cheapest they can get away with. I think next time around I will be going with another brand with all my personal grooming devices.Customer Review: Really Bad Trimmer Design
Summary: 1 Stars
The basic cutter design works well, however, the plastic trimmer parts are just impossible. When you try to adjust the trimmer to a higher setting the entire trimmer head snaps off. In the other direction the trimmer reverts to the 1 setting with no apparent action on my part. This AM I cut my beard short for the second time because of this reversion to the 1 setting. I don't believe I should have to check the setting each time I use the trimmer, and yes, I do know how this thing is meant to operate.
Second issue, the charging instructions are written for a Ni-Cad battery and manual says the non-replaceable battery is a LiIon type. So, does the charger match the battery? I know this is a bottom end trimmer but I believe the manual should make sense and the unit should function as desired. Don't buy this thing, I now am in the market for a real trimmer.
