Detail
I was given this product by Panasonic to review as part of the Panasonic Reviewer program. Charging The charging stand has a 3-pin UK mains plug for use anywhere except the bathroom. There's no full charge indicator so just charge overnight (12 hours) for a full charge, or 20 hours from new or if unused for 6 months. The trimmer latches into the charging base with a confident click and no risk of it falling off if nudged or knocked. It is easily removed with one hand gripping the trimmer and a second on the charging base. In Use The remarkably light Panasonic GB42 is easy to hold. The curved shape is very comfortable to hold with a firm handshake style grip,
I was given this product by Panasonic as part of the Panasonic reviewer program, so what do I think about it? The trimmer is supplied in a box with a very small brush, bottle of oil and a charge stand along with a very thick instruction book, but thankfully it is only the first 20 pages that are in English. When you first remove the trimmer, it will need charging for about 20 hours to condition the battery and that means plugging it into the stand. This requires a firm push and it will click into place unlike some other stands where they just slide down and studs on the back are used to charge. The advantage with this connection is that the trimmer is held firmly in place.
I must state that I was given the product by Panasonic to review as part of the Panasonic Reviewer program. On Holding the Trimmer, the first thing that strikes you is how sturdy and comfortable it is to hold. Changing the length of the cut is done easily using a revolving wheel The Blade Guard is easy to remove for precision work. The GB42 has 19 length settings from 1 to 10mm in 0.5 mm intervals with guard on and cuts at 0.5 mm without the blade guard on. So plenty of choice for any situation. I knew I was going to receive this trimmer to test so decided not to shave or trim the remainder of my facial hair or Goatee for a week before using.
I was given this product by Panasonic as part of the Panasonic reviewer program, and it arrived just in time to give my full beard an all-over trim. After charging it for approx 20 hours as per instructions I found it very easy to use. The trimmer is easy to turn on and fells comfortable to hold as it is well balanced. The dial height adjustment has a positive "click" action so that the chosen trimming length stays selected (my previous trimmer had a habit of adjusting itself during use which could result in short patches in my beard). The end result using the PanasonicER-GB42 was a neat and very tidy beard and moustache with all hairs the same length. Although I would not normally use the trimmer for a wet trim,
In return for providing an unbiased review, I was invited to become a member of something called the Panasonic Reviewing Panel and sent a Panasonic GB42 Wet & Dry Beard Trimmer. Well packaged and with a comprehensive multi-language manual, I unpacked this GB42 which I found comfortable in the hand with a reassuring weight but not over heavy when negotiating the contours of my face. Wedded to a Remington model for the last eleven years, I was quickly impressed with the number of advantages it offered over my old favourite. Firstly, the built-in length adjuster that rotates to move the guard up and down. This secures the correct cutting length with no danger of it changing when pushing against the face.
I was given the product by Panasonic to review as part of the Panasonic Reviewer Program. The trimmer and accessories are well presented in a display box and first impressions suggest that the trimmer is well made and looks like a quality product.After removing it from the box and further examination confirms my previous statement that it is well made, has a good design and feels well built. The charging deck is ergometrically friendly and again is well constructed and easy to use. I am pleased to state that it has a three pin UK plug. When charging a led light is displayed, however the light does not go out when the charging is complete, not a big problem. It would have been useful if a USB facility was available for charging.
I was sent the Panasonic GB42 Wet and Dry Beard Trimmer to review as part of the Panasonic Reviewer program, and I have to say I couldn't be happier with it. I've used it a few times now and the thing that appeals to me the most is the range of beard lengths you can achieve (20 in all!), set in handy 0.5mm intervals. Switching between them is easy, a click wheel which you dial up or down, and the whole mechanism feels solid and tactile. The unit itself is well made, nice and sleek design and feels good in the hand and so easy to charge, the recharging unit is also sleek and compact. I guess the only real downside to the trimmer was that because the blades are within an inbuilt comb,
I was given the product by Panasonic to review as part of the Panasonic Reviewer program. Having never owned a beard trimmer I was keen to see how well it performed. The trimmer looks great with its compact design. It was ready to use straight out of the box though I decided to have a go at charging it first. It clicks into the cradle with a reassuring click so there will be no danger of it not charging due to it not connecting properly. The only downside is that the LED colour doesn't change when it's fully charged. The comb length is so easy to alter with the rotational adjustment, so much better than hair trimmers and messing about changing the combs. A big thumbs up.
I was given this product by Panasonic to review as part of the Panasonic Reviewer program. When the product arrived it was fully charged ready to use. I read the instructions which were easy to understand before I used the product. The product itself has a small, sharp blade with 19 separate easy to select height adjustments and a detachable comb. It is simple to use because on the front of the unit there is a dial and you turn it to select how high you want the comb. There is an on/off switch that you can lightly press to give a quick pulse, or push firmly to have the razor on constantly. Narrow precision head makes it good for beards but not suitable for hair.
The ER-GB42 Beard Trimmer was supplied to me by Panasonic for me to provide an honest review. I found the use of Gb42 very lightweight and comfortable to use, and the multiple adjustment levels of cutting excellent. Having had a short beard for many years now and having tried many different brands I have found the Panasonic to be the best, in my opinion. I've not tried the product in the shower or for trimming other body areas but see no reason why it wouldn't perform very well. I have used the trimmer several times over the last week or more and the battery still seems to have plenty of battery life left in it.
I was given this product by Panasonic to review as part of the Panasonic Reviewer program. Having had a short beard and short hair for many years now I found the product very easy to use. The ER-GB42 is very sturdy and comfortable to hold. With the comb and the adjustable scale, the length of cut is perfect every time. Cleaning the trimmer under warm running water was easy. The blades are sharp and the motor is very powerful, and quiet. I am extremely pleased with the Trimmer and would highly recommend it to anyone.
I was given this beard trimmer by Panasonic as part of the Reviewer programme. I found the product very easy to use The beard length adjustment is particularly easy to use, and provides a good range of beard lengths - I maintain my beard at a short length, and the trimmer was very easy to use for this purpose. It is not provided with a 2 pin BS4573 plug, so it is disappointing that it cannot be charged on my bathroom socket. The trimmer is a little bulky as it is not fitted with a lithium battery
I received this as a member of the Panasonic Reviewing panel. It arrived fully charged and was put to use almost immediately. Its small size and sharp blade made it easy and effective to use. Used without the comb it makes clear and sharp lines. With the comb the length of cut is easy to adjust but the scale takes some getting used to . The charging cradle is neat and effective if a little large. It looks like good value compared to similar items on the market.
