None of the three Philips trimmers I owned lasted for more than two years (and I only used them twice per week). Time will tell, but this Panasonic one is really built from high quality materials, well designed and very easy to use. I quite like the battery indicator and the sound the device emits when you need to charge it. You do need to lubricate the blades every time, but it's not a huge deal. galaxus.ch
