These are terrible. The flimsy blades and awful length adjustment mechanism barely function when brand new. And not much time later I'm sure it will crack or segments will begin to fall off. Particularly when removing the guard to get a zero cut with the trimmer itself.

I purchased from Meridian because I was tired of cheap products, and I had the impression that they cared about quality. But unfortunately this hasn't been my experience with this product, nor their service.

Particularly as I have to replace the 'clipper guard' at least twice a year at the cost of $19 each time I need to order replacements.

I suggested a discount on a more reputable product (should they have one), to which they replied 'to stay abreast of their discounts via social media'. But I would rather actually live my life and go to work to earn money in order to buy a product from a company who actually cares about their products and their customers who use it, than sit on the internet refreshing screens in the hope of a discount that any other unsuspecting idiot would be entitled to.

Also.... don't expect to get replacement parts that match the colour of the trimmer you originally purchased.
