VS Sassoon The All-Rounder VSM837A

Poor quality and design – I've owned a lot of trimmers and groomers but this is by far the worst one. The plastic looks and feels like something from a dollar store. And the way the different heads slide on is horrible, it's so easy to slide it on crooked. You have to slide it on level and dead straight, words fail me as it's just so terrible. Removing them isn't much… Read more

better. And most people are right-handed, so why on earth would you put the switch on the left, so idiotic?

Also, the manual is poorly written, nowhere does it tell you how to remove the trimmer blade to oil it. It tells you to refer to a section that doesn't exist, I had to look it up on YouTube. Not that it made much difference as the oil hole is tiny and it's just easier oiling the blades than going to all that trouble. The hilarious part is the manual states it's a quality product, with spelling mistakes throughout and a missing section. Also it doesn't tell you when it's charged as the light is red while charging and that's it, it doesn't change colour, blink or turn off so you have to guess. Thought mine was faulty as it didn't change colour after 48 hours and the worthless manual doesn't tell you it only lights red. Had to email the company to find out it doesn't change colour. The caddy is absolutely useless, the heads and combs just sit on it, a fly going past will knock them out.

The only good thing is the nose trimmer, it's superb and very effective, easily the best I've ever used.

Luckily I only paid $8 for this as I used a promotion credit, but even then I feel ripped off. My first and last VS product.

Love this well built long lasting little unit – I really like this VS VSM837A - its easily maneuverable with one hand, lasts for ages and ages, solid inbuilt fixed rechargeable battery stIll going well after numerous years. You can plug in the 3V power chord as on option if the rechargeable battery is near flat - works well as the cable is very light. It cuts close enough to look almost like a… Read more

razor shave. The only accessory I use is the nose hair trimmer (does a professional job - go lightly). I am thinking I might now need a new cutting head as I use it every day (will shortly see if you can buy one from VS). Anyway, you won't go wrong - love it!

the guides slip easily, useless for cutting around the head – Bought at David Jones on special, replacing another brand clipper with a terrible battery. On paper this clipper looked great. The guides (for selecting length) really let it down. They're plastic with a plastic friction tab, and unfortunately even the slightest pressure causes the guide to move. it's simply bad design which was clearly never… Read more

actually tested by anyone.

You start with (say) a 6 and by the time you've got around the back of your head it's already slipped to 2. Otherwise it seems like an ok clipper. I used the stubble guide which has a different length mechanism and it's fine.

You do need to charge it for 16 hours before first use, and according to the instructions it needs to cycle 3 times before you actually get full power.

Wouldn't recommend.

Great shaver and trimmer – Great price for a waterproof quality trimmer with many options, this is our second shaver from this company in my family, first one was for my son (Beard trimmer), totally satisfied with the performance. Definitely recommend this.

Best trim for a bargain price! – Purchased the trimmer from Big W 2 years ago and it's still going strong! Been a great shaver for tidying up the neck hairs, chest hairs and any other region you may need to tame! Works well as a wet shaver (use shaving cream to help with the cut) then simply wash the cutting heads, dry and put back on charge! I recently purchased a brand new one… Read more

as I used the old one twice a week and the cut is awesome! Worth every part of $49! Don't waste your money on the more expansive ones when this is equally as good, if not better!

Friendly Men's Grooming for Below & Above the Belt – I brought my Vs Sassoon All body Rounder VSM837A a few days ago at Big W, Can't Fault, love the cut and how sensitive it is below and above the belt region, it's light weight and love how it's water proof, and the pricing is affordable can't fault. Show details

Good all round performance - like the name suggests – Have been using this for a few a little over a year now. As I work away, a few months ago I bought another one to leave at work, so I would have to say I am pretty happy with them. Use for both body hair and beard trimming. I usually keep a very short length, and these give a nice even cut and are easy to maneuver. I have used the length… Read more

attachments to trim up my sideburns are they seem to stay in place, I had an old pair where these would easily fall off and cause a divot in my hair :(

I use both in and out of the shower and have not noticed any rust to date.

Unlike an old pair I had, these have never given me any nicks or cuts.

Charges quickly and lasts for a few days before I need to think about charging it again.

Very happy with these for the quality, performance and price.
