After searching through 200 options on amazon and realising 199 of them were only shipping after 60-75 days, I went ahead and bought the 200th option. This one.
I cut my own hair in about 25mins (my first time ever) -
1. I used the 30mm setting for sides, and 25mm to do a bit of the edges and left it natural
2. The blades did not pull my hair
3. I have thick hair
4. Battery lasted no problem
5. Pack is supplied with oil canister, so that's that
6. Feels really WELL BUILT.. chunky yet not heavy, and its not too loud
7. Comes with a pouch, you can store the trimmer and 1 guard (including largest one) - BUT not the charger
At 75, it would take me 2 times of good use to break-even (typical central London cuts are 30-40quid).
Stuck at home and need a trimmer that can pull off as a temporary clipper so you don't look like a caveman in your video call? Go for this.
Inside the box you get three guards for different lengths, a little bag, charger, a brush and some blade oil.
The trimmer feels extremely well built and the blades have no problem even with very thick beards.
It's as simple as selecting the right guard and selecting the length you want (the three numbers on the length wheel correspond to the different sized guards!). You can also use without the guards for detailing.
As you can replace the blade easily this is going to last a long time, it's also waterproof so easy to clean.
Prior to this I was using a top of the range wahl trimmer, which struggled with thicker hair and had serious design faults. Switching to this trimmer I was able to trim in a 10th of the time of the wahl, even with a very big thick corona beard. If you value your time buy this trimmer.
Highly recommend!
pros:
v.easy to use
good looking design
well built and good grip
accurate lengths and easy 0.5mm adjustment
works with thick hair no issue
very easy to detail and shape
good price (compared to other premium trimmers)
cons:
uses a proprietary power adapter (would have preferred usb c for travel)
case doesn't fit the guards and the trimmer. You'd have to pick one for travel and fit it to the trimmer

I should have just paid the extra and got a Babylis I-stubble again (all that was wrong with it was the battery was pretty much dead after over 5 years use).
One review said that this isn't big enough and it would probably be better used for just your precision shaving - but it would be terrible for that and isn't very good for the bigger work either.
I seemed to need to push much harder on my face to get anything significant to be cut than I did with the Babylis and even then it didn't seem to be doing a consistant job. I didn't think I'd care about it having no display screen as you can easily select the length manually without having to change heads. But this also means that you do not have any indication of how much battery it has left or when it needs charging soon.
So far I have managed to use it wet without it breaking so thats a plus I guess and the seller got it to me straight away and with no damage to itself or the packaging.
I would buy from this seller again, but probably wouldn't buy a panasonic. I should have paid the extra and got the Babylis I stubble or maybe something from Philips. I will probably demote the Panasonic to a bodyhair shaver, but I'm not sure it is even up to that task.
I cant go as far as to say it is completely useless or awful - but I also cant see me using it for much longer as I don't want to push it hard into my face every day just for it to end up not looking that great as an end result. You would definetly need a precision shaver to accompany this, which negates the money saving aspect (unless you already have one).
I've been using this trimmer now for 3 weeks and just love the ease of use, ease of settings, ease of cleaning, the great quality, the battery charging time of 1 hour is perfect.
To kept my beard trimmed to the length I want I use it every 3 days and I have just cut my hair to 10mm (I don't have thick hair) it was so easy.
