can this groomate platinum xl trimmer be used with just one hand? I have the use of one hand and was wondering if anyone knew if you could use this product with one hand. Thanks in advance

no you can't. if you want a manual trimmer that works with one hand, try the groom mate silver wing or the groom mate silver wing xl. good luck.

I don't use it for trimming my mustache, but it could. I have a different trimmer that seems to fit my hand better for this, slightly less blade width. Does that help?

I have only used it by holding the trigger on. I think this is a safety feature and I would doubt that you could set it to stay cutting without your finger on the trigger. Nothing was said in the instructions about using the trimmer without your finger on the trigger.

I do not use combs with this trimmer, it has a very close cut, leaves no hair. I use this trimmer on my hairless Doug's face, as he doesn't like his face trimmed, and this trimmer is small, quiet, and the blade doesn't get hot as quickly in comparison to other trimmers. I think it did not have comb attachments when I purchased the trimmer. My hair stylist uses this trimmer for close detailed cuts on the back of men's necks.

I only use one hand. It does require a decent grip to be able to cut for very long. I often change hands dependimg on the location I am trying to cut.

This nail dryer is ONLY for (1) one hand. It does work good but it would be easier to have two of these, one on each side or a two handed hand dryer.

The trimmer pops-out, but not up. It works well for side-burns. Trimming a mustache would require viewing the trimmer slightly off to the side of the shaver.

I love this trimmer. I use it to do the bodies of my Chinese Cresteds. I do their faces with their Wella Contura - trying to save that since they appear to be out of production. I find the Wella quiet, not hot, and does a very good job. Would recommend.

Mine broke about a month ago and I've never paid attention to which way it turned. I groom dogs and have never had a problem with it turning the wrong way but I'm used to using both hands.

I would agree... I actually use it with both hands as I find it a better angle when shaving the other side of my face and it is JUST as fantastic in my left hand as it is my right... I'd highly recommend this razor. You will not regret purchasing it :)

If it is light work yes, if the hair is thick and/or matted then no. I often use it on feet but sometimes if the hair between the pads have grown too long or thick I often use a larger clipper then go over it with this trimmer.

This razor is not equipped with a trimmer. I almost never used the trimmer on my previous razors, so I was unwilling t spend another $20 for the model that is equipped with a trimmer. RLK

It seems one cannot by anything related to this item, though I love it for ease of use, once you need new trimmer blades or anything else, you are out of luck! Sorry I bought it!

How long are you running it for? I've done grooming in sections since my shih tzu has alot of hair and not alot of patience. I do remember reading that just from duration of running the razor will have some heat. My best guess is it is a normal occurrence and perhaps to do shorter grooming sessions. I typically do 30min shaves with breaks/treats and I haven't experience it getting hot yet. Hopefully that helps dispel any worry.

Haven't had any problems using it with one hand. The charge lasts a long time and recharges quickly. Cleaning it out frequently keeps the suction. I haven't tried using it on anything but the usual crumbs and dirt in cracks and crevices but would use a bigger vacuum on any large messes. Great product.

I would no longer recommend this groomer. It quit working before battery ran out. Have replaced with Conair model. It is still working well. It takes 1AA battery.

Use something like a toothbrush---or even a brand new metal dog comb!? What I have a problem with (for my hard rubber combs)--is hairspray accumulating (believe it or not)!! The effect of this is to block the tongs? on the comb----making it hard to use!! I use a small toothbrush---in seconds it removes the hairspray particles and the comb is fine!!
