This review is from: Philips Norelco G480 All-in-One Premium Grooming Kit (Health and Beauty)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) This is a great little set, and the price can't be beat. It's not as powerful as some of the trimmers out there, and it's not going to replace a shaver, but for most people it should be able to handle everything you throw at it. I'll review each component here.

The trimmer - This is what you onto. It's decently powered, but battery life is short (only about 30 minutes!). It was better than expected for the price.

Mini Shaver - I can't really say I recommend shaving with this. If you need a quick light shave at the last minute, it's ok. I wouldn't recommend using it regularly to shave or for a haircut.

Mustache, eyebrow, and clipper combs - While they're labeled for separate parts of your face, these are basically like the combs you see on haircutters or beard and mustache groomers. They attach to the trimmer and can be used to trim your beard, mustache, eyebrows, whatever. You could even give yourself an impromptu haircut if you wanted, but I wouldn't recommend it. They work fine but feel a bit flimsy when attached.

nose/ear trimmer - Works great for removing random hairs that show up in the wrong places, needed a new one after my old one died.

precision trimmer - This is the tool for your sideburns. Easy to use and works great at catching all the hairs in a couple of swipes.

"fine detailing" blade - I think this is what you use for the "pencil thin beard" or shaving a logo onto the back of your head. I probably won't use it.

The Stand - This neatly holds each attachment and even charges the trimmer. It doesn't look bad in a bathroom at all, and keeps you from losing track of everything.

Conclusion: A nice little set at a decent price. Considering a dedicated unit for any single item here would cost at least twenty bucks, I can handle the fact that I may only use half of the attachments. Battery life is a bit short, but if you're using this for more than 30 minutes at a time you may have a problem to begin with. Overall I think the set is a great buy and should be able to tackle most grooming issues in conjunction with a separate shaver.
