This is my first ceramic blade clippers, no going back. These do not pull the beard even a little. The clippers came in fully charged and ready to go. The clippers have a large head (a nice feature}, the variable power settings are very useful, and it trimmes closer then my trimmers. They are cordless with a small attractive base and the battery is powerful, only lost 3% trimming my hair and beard.The value is unsurpased.
