I purchased this about 2 months ago, and gave it a little time before writing a review. I’ve been shaving with foil razers for most of my adult life, and I can honestly say that this is the best foil shaver I have ever used! So, why only 4 stars? The trimmer is terrible.
I went looking for a new shaver to replace my Remington F4790. I found during my search that all the new Remington models use a pop-out trimmer, not the slide-up style on my F4790 or the Gamma+ Absolute Zero. Based on the excellent reviews and the slide-up trimmer, I purchased the Gamma+. I put new foils in my Remington, and for 4 weeks shaved one side of my face with the Remington and the other side with the Gamma+. I found the quality of the shave on each side to be about the same, but getting there with the Gamma+ took 2/3 of the time. Saving a third of the time, to get the same shave, every day? Sign me up!
The only problem is with the trimmer. I use the slide-up trimmer on my neck, where I don’t shave (I’ve found this to look fine and minimize ingrown hairs). The Gamma+ trimmer is useless. It’s worse than those pop-out trimmers on the Remington models I was trying to avoid. It won’t even cut my sideburns. As of now, I am using the trimmer on my R4790 to trim my neck hairs and touch up my sideburns, and shaving with the Gamma+. Since using two razors every day is a pain (and the Remington won’t hold a charge, so I can only use it corded), this is only an interim option until I can find a solution in a single razor.
If you don’t need the trimmer, BUY THIS SHAVER. It is far and away the best I’ve tried for shaving. And, it’s light-weight (lighter than my travel razor!) and powerful. It holds a long-lasting charge (probably aided by how quickly you get a great shave).
If you need razor with a good trimmer, look elsewhere. Heck, if you need a razor with even a barely-functioning trimmer, look elsewhere.
To Gamma+, I say… great job on the shaver, let’s get that trimmer fixed in the next model.
Update: So, the trimmer is very flawed. As well as not being very effective from the start, the design allows the powdery shavings from the shaver to fill the area where the trimmer snaps onto the shaver body. When my trimmer stopped working about 3 months in, I sent an email to Gamma+ Customer Service. They sent me a new snap-on trimmer (sans directions), and when I popped off the old one, I realized there was so much build-up that it lifted the trimmer away from the driver on the shaver body. So, if your trimmer stops working, pop it off (it just snaps in place) and clean it out, then snap it back on.

I purchased this item because it has both a shaver and a trimmer and packs small.
I tried using this for about a month since purchase on a beard thats about 3 to 4 days.
The shaver is amazing. Gives a very clean and smooth shaver.
The trimmer on the other hand just does not work properly. It trims very slowly, I have to run it over many times, I need to be very carful. I can only trim in one direction – downward. And hair gets stuck in it.
I never use a razor. I have used the Braun series 5 shaver/trimmer for the past 6 years, and the trimmer on that one is way better than this one, never gets stuck, cuts quickly, could trim in both directions etc.
It is quite possible that I may have received a defective unit. I want to like this product, but the trimmer just makes me sad.

Made in China and it shows.
The one and only Pro: The shape and angle of cutting head and screen are really good.
The Cons: Cheap feel and looks, Rough shave and not very close. The shaver has low voltage
and the RPMs are very low which I think is the reason for the rough and not so close shave.
Also another reasons is the foil is way thicker than any other shaver Ive had.
This might be good for people with a light and thin beard but for heavy and thick beards–not so good.
Pay attention to the more negatives reviews because this thing is way over rated here and way over priced.

This thing is AWESOME. Shaved my head as close as a wet blade. Beard to. No more wasted money on blades and irritation. Very pleased. Only drawback is the trimmer part that can be flipped up to use for trimming longer hairs. Not a good option. Hard trim. Pulls quite a bit. If you have longer hair use another trimmer first. That function needs improvement. But that to me is fine I never planned on using that. I have a regular trimmer I can use. I don’t see many discussing its use to shave your head. If you do shave it bald this thing rocks. So easy. Long battery life charged fully in 15 min

Réception rapide. Fonctionne bien.
Coupe près de la peau, court et lisse comme une peau de fesse😆
Parfait pour la nuque ou la barbe.
Je l’utilise pour la finition de coupe de cheveux et de la barbe. Très bon achat.

I was nervous when I first fired this up because electric shavers tend to be hit or miss, but this shaver is definitely not like the rest.
I’ve used it several times now and it still cuts like it did when I first got it out of the box. It handles extremely well, and I haven’t been cut or scraped in any of the times I’ve used it.
The battery life is solid. I’ve spent over an hour fine-detailing and it has continued to cut without any loss in power or getting hot; an issue that some shavers I’ve used in the past have had.

Very long lasting battery. It’s been almost 2 months and I only charged once at the beginning! I I shave about 4 times a week. And, it’s still green. Cuts very close so the skin is a little sensitive the first days. Strong motor.
Cons:
-a little bulkier than expected
-looks a little cheap (plastic).
Overall, very please so far.
