My poor classic Babyliss trimmer had been dying for quite a while as it must be well over 5years old now! Although the device itself worked well, in order for it to charge or even be used I would have to hold the charger in at the same time whilst trying to shave. Not an easy task and after a couple of weeks of this I decided it was time to let it go! I wanted the exact same one but couldn’t seem to find it anywhere on Amazon so went for this model instead. At first I thought I was going to have to send it back but after playing around with the settings I am now VERY pleased with it and will most definitely be keeping it!THE PACKAGING:As usual with all Babyliss products that I have used over the years it does arrive very well packaged.The box is an attractive silver and black cardboard design and inside everything is well and truly secured so it’s pretty much guaranteed to be protected whilst it is in transit! (Peace of mind assured straight away)! There is a clear picture of the device resting in its charging port on the front with plenty of its useful features placed around both on the sides and the back of the packaging. Very nice! Inside you get the trimmer, the charging dock, a nice a long (probs around 1.5m) charging 2 pin cable, a UK travel adaptor and of course a nice and easy to read instruction booklet.THE REVIEW:I’m not that fussy when it comes to shaving as I’m still at the difficult age (mid 30s ha ha) where I still grow patchy stubble...not a full grown beard like all my friends so really all I need is a trimmer that will tidy my face up a bit! When my old classic trimmer finally had to leave us I went online looking for the exact same one as it had served me very well and done the job too. As stated before unfortunately I couldn’t seem to find it so thought I would go for a newer model.I was looking for something that could be used whilst it was plugged in (and without too) because I never like leaving things on charge. Hastily at first I went for the BaByliss for Men i-Stubble 3 which was on offer for £40 instead of the usual £53. Until I read some of the reviews that it had left many people disappointed. Then I found this one (aka BaByliss 7897U) which had better reviews plus was £10 cheaper! The question I wanted answering was that could it be charged without having to be placed within the holder. Taking a gamble because of the price and needing it for the next day I just went for it.It arrived swiftly the next morning which was the perfect time to try it out. I must of had about 3mm of stubble (not much I know) and went to set the trimmer to my usual 2.2mm setting for shaving. That’s when I realised that it doesn’t do that precise cutting. You can only go up in actual millimetres. For example 1mm – 2mm etc.Never mind I thought and so just stuck it on 2mm. Trying to shave however I was really noticing anything happening. I even stopped and wondered if I have to remove some concealed plastic coating. But nope, nothing to remove...it just wasn’t cutting. So I stuck it on the 1mm setting and boom! It worked. And it worked well!!First of all the noise. It’s so quiet! I didn’t realise how loud my old one was! Let me put it this way, with my old trimmer you couldn’t listen to a conversation whilst it was in use. But with this new one – you easily can! It’s just a nice and light buzzing sound! 10 out of 10! Then for the trimming...it’s perfect. On my old model anything below the 2.2mm setting just made me look clean shaven! Which I really don’t suit! And even though I now use the 1mm setting on this new device, it still leaves just enough shadow so I look neat and tidy but without being clean shaven. Don’t ask me how that works but honestly it’s great!When shaving it is an enjoyable experience once again, as well as nice and quick too! My old one was loud, attached to a wire but most annoyingly (which I’ve only realised now) would take ages to trim my stubble. It almost became a 20minute job. This new BaByliss 7897U does it smoother, quieter and 100 times quicker. Probs only takes me about 3minutes to shave now! PERFECT!!The shaver itself is nice and light as well as easy to grip with a two stylish looking lights that show the mm length you have chosen as well as whether the lock feature has been activated or deactivated. With it being a dark blue and silver design too it’s just adds an air of class to what is basically a simple beard/stubble trimmer.My only issue so far with this trimmer is (like previously mentioned) that it has to be placed into a holder to charge – I personally would much prefer a simple plug in attachment. Still in its defence that charging dock keeps to the quality and the style of the shaver and is quite small too however for me I just don’t have a place to keep it out all the time.Charging takes around 90minutes which will give you approximately 60minutes of charge. I’m not sure how long a full charge will last for in terms of standby time but so far it’s been great! There is also a quick charge function too so let’s just say you are running late and your appliance is completely flat. Throw it on charge for 5minutes and it will give you approx 3minutes of run time. HANDY!!OVERALL:I am very pleased with my choice of trimmer. It looks fantastic, feels great but most importantly keeps my stubble looking smart and stylish. Its adjustable length means you can cut from 1mm – 15mm and not forgetting it also comes with a handy 3 year guarantee too! My only gripe is that it can’t be used whilst charging and that the trim length goes up in MM and not micro millimetres. (EG 1.1mm-1.9mm) Apart from that though I would recommend this product as I am now a happy, patchy stubble free customer!

bought this for my impossible to buy for father in law following recommendation from a friend . Great start as he was absolutely delighted with it when I gave it to him, but the acid test would be if he moaned next time I saw him! Fear not, he loved it. More of your traditional bearded man rather than that of the trendier version, he said that it cut very well through his thickish beard, very comfortable to hold and all in all a hit! The issue being that it has a great warranty what am I going to buy him for the next 3 years.

Although it's early days (Arrived 2 day's ago) I've used it fully, including the precision trimmer, and it seems good. I can't yet say more as that will depend on a longer use but a slight issue is with use of the trimmer where it's suggested the trimmer is first used 'Upside down' but this is a problem as i can't easily see what I'm trimming as the body of the shaver blocks line of sight in the mirror - but maybe if i try harder i might overcome this.

This is a great product, the battery life is phenomenal, I am actually writing this review 3 months from purchase and I have still not given a 2nd charge. The 1st charge is still lasting me 3 months! I use this once a week for 2 minutes. I love the way you adjust the length by turning the wheel, no need to change blade guards anymore! Amazing build and quality, easy to use and AMAZING battery life.

Feels solid, I run it through my beard and my beard gets shorter.The handy locking system keeps you from accidently changing settings.The only snag is removing the plastic to clean it, I can see this breaking eventually, but these are replaceable from the manufacturer for about £2.50 if memory serves, but if looked after should be ok anyway, just don't yank at it.

A bit tricky to use at first because you are too scared of shaving too much off or getting tangle pulls.Easy to set what length beard you want & after a couple of goes removal of shaving guard gets easier to help cleaning.Charge last a fair amount of time so all in all happy with purchase.

Really great product it's my second after I broke the previous one only downside is if i take off the plastic guard for a closer shave i really have to be careful that it doesnt catch my skin i didnt have this problem with my first one even though they are identical

This has genuinely changed my life. I now no longer wet shave around my beard as this and all of its different length settings is perfect for a close ish trim and a beard tidy up. I'd say without the guard the trim is as close as 5 o clock shadow

Great trimmer does everything you need! Just a slight fiddly when removing the comb guide (when using the trimmer for the closest possible trim). Charge time is so quick! The stand is also very sturdy and has a good charging port.

Overall good trimmer.Having to take off the guide to clean etc is a bit of an ache and the measurements i'm sure arent right. Just because your trimmer is on 10mm your beard length might be 16mm after trimming on that setting.

Very pleased with the beard trimmer. feels good quality and does the job well. Battery holds the charge well so far - much better than the Remington I had previously.

Great beard trimmer. The guard is easy to use and adjustable. Battery life is good and last a long time. Has a good quality feel to it. Great price to boot.
