Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco Qt4022/41 Stubble Trimmer Pro
Customer Review: Very close shave
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't tried the other stubble trimmers so I'll try to compare this to a Norelco G370 beard trimmer that I have.
After reading user reviews of the other stubble trimmers the general consensus is that they don't shave close enough. Well at .5mm on paper, this is as close as it gets. For whatever reason Babyliss no longer makes their elusive I-Trim models which also have .5mm to .8mm settings, and were only available in the UK anyway. Glad Norelco saw the need and decided to make one itself.
The Shave:
=========
This thing shaves really close @ .5mm, uncomfortably close even... which isn't necessarily a horrible thing. Expect your skin to be dry and maybe even flaky after using this at its lowest setting. Note that the plastic comb guard doesn't spring-adjust to contour to your face like the QT4021, but at the same time I don't think that "feature" would actually give a closer shave.
I've only shaved with it once and liked the result. In fact it cut so close that the "stubble look" lasted two days for me. That said, naturally uncut stubble is still better looking in my opinion, your results may vary. The QT4022 just gives you more control in terms of timing and can let you sport an everyday stubble if used consistently. Nothing else seems to provide this right now.
Build Quality:
=========
In your hand it feels great. The rubber-like feel of the back will give you an excellent non-slip grip and while it's not exactly heavy, it's definitely not as light as other cheaper models which helps with stability. Plus the full-width adjustment setting rotary knob on the back is a really nice touch. No flimsy parts here that may break off. Guessing the attention to build quality is the main reason Norelco prices this model higher than its others. It should last you several years, with the biggest concern being the battery.
Battery:
=========
This razor seems to have the older style battery because the manual warns of leaving it plugged in too long, letting it drain completely before recharging, etc... which is kind of a drag, but if it keeps the price down I can live with it. Wish I could comment on batt life, will amend this review later if it starts acting up. My 5yr old G370 still works, but the battery life is now atrocious, not lasting long after a single charge. But honestly, if I can get a good 4-5 years out of the stubble trimmer w/o battery issues I'll be happy.
Note: if the battery's dead the trimmer can work on full power by being plugged in which is a nice touch.
Noise:
=========
Just a quick note on noise: it's quiet. My rotary triple head electric shaver is naturally quieter, but for a traditional back & forth electric razor I was shocked by how little noise this makes.
Rating:
=========
Giving the Norelco QT4022 stubble trimmer 5/5 stars on Amazon mainly due to its solid build quality and the fact that nothing else currently available trims this close. Norelco did a good job of taking even the most basic functions from past models and tweaked them to make them better. Hoping all Norelco "Pro" models are this nice.
