PLEASE READ ENTIRE REVIEW: It gets better...

The Ugly: Not the best instructions or pictures. Stand 'set up' instructions poor. Because of design, it's hard to determine which accessories go (and fit) where on stand. Even when I figured out what went where, they didn't fit properly. The instruction sheet picture quality is not good. In order to get a good picture of the stand with all accessories on it, I had to go to conair and blow up the picture from the instruction sheet.

The Bad: Storage/Charging Stand. Unlike previous Conair multi-trimmers (over prior 18 years I've owned 2), this stand is poorly designed and manufactured. The base should be weighted; it's not. Parts and accessories should fit securely; they don't. Stand should hold parts and accessories as if they were designed as a system; it doesn't. Except for the trimmer body itself, the big beard guide and the oil tube, none of the other accessories really fit the stand properly. If you try to move the filled stand, 2 or 3 items will fall out every time you try to move it. Very poor design.

Changing Heads. This could be a little better but isn't really 'bad.' Read the instructions, and you'll find removing the main head isn't very difficult. The [very minor] problem comes in putting the other heads on. Be sure the white 'drive pin' from the trimmer body is aligned with, and fits into the white plastic tube in the attachment before you apply pressure to secure the new head. If you don't, it appears you could risk damaging the plastic components.

Fortunately, it gets much better from here.

The Good: Trimmer body and accessories. Good RPMs on motor. It does a good job trimming and doesn't seem to bog down in thick or wiry hair.
The nose/ear attachment could be just a little longer to reach inside ear/nose. But even as is, the reach is adequate and it does a very decent job, although the cutting tip gets a little warm with prolonged use.
The mini- detailing head is great for working around areas of the face with little clearance, and removes hairs well.
The shaving foil works well on small areas for clean-ups, but is definitely not intended for full face shaves.
Haven't used all the guides and combs, but those I have appear to do what they're intended to do, and satisfactorily.
Haven't tried it for bikini type trims, but appears it will do the job, as well.

All in all, and excepting the 'charging' stand, it met all my expectations from previous Conairs I've owned. I'd have rated 5* if the stand wasn't so poor.
