How effective is the long hair trimmer?

Depends on your task. For trimming the edge(s) it's good. For trimming in the middle it sucks.

Not bad, since it's forward pointing, and cuts normal. better than those that flip sideways.

Yes... the problem I have is the foil trimmer in the middle. If it hits long hair it will pull on it. The middle works good on stubble though. Might wanna check out the model of this trimmer and try the one with the pivoting head. I found the fixed angle of this trimmer annoying. Besides these two issues this trimmer is pretty good. Cuts body hair well and the battery's charge lasts for a long time.. u will get multiple uses out of it before charging. Best feature for me was that you can use it in the shower. With or without shaving cream....

The trimmer on my newer FS5790 seems to work well on long hairs but I agree that the trimmer on my older MS280 works a little faster owing to its greater width. I doubt that there is sufficient time saved by switching razors to justify the switch. This might vary with individuals

I have a friend that says it does great! He uses it in his motor home and it picks up long white dog hair really well. My dog is short haired, but he also sheds, and I think that it works pretty well for us, too.

I had long hair when I got this. Its also semi straight but gets a funky wave in it. I always used a 2 inch but I really like this 1 inch. This one heats really fast which may be why it works so well.

I use my for close trims on dogs for showing, so it does very fine hair on the edges of ears as well as the thick coarse whiskers. It does a very good job on both. For life span- jury is still out on that but mine was having issues with the off/on switch not long after I bought it. There are times when the switch will not work and it takes many tries to get it to turn on :-(

I have very long hair and it doesn't seem to snag on mine. I also have naturally curly hair so it is hard to find a good flat iron and I really think this one works great! :)

I cannot answer from any experience. If someone has long hair around the neck, this should work. If we are talking of head hair going all the way down to the neck, then it should be possible to thin the hair. But one is unlikely to get a sharp trim line.

It works on both, but is easiest to use and works best for me on long hair.

Even though this is not the main reason I bought this clipper -I did use it in this way when I first got it and it works really well. And based on reviews of the balding clipper -I think there is less likely hood of cutting yourself. But since I haven't used the balding clipper I am not sure if it will give a closer trim.

I've had 5 of these trimmers. This is by far the best. It does not pull your hair.

It works great on any hair as long as it is short. When I say short the perfect length is just after you trim it with no guard on the trimmer. It'll cut hair that's a little longer but it might take you a little longer. The shaver shaper is intended to cut short hairs and leave long hair alone

I have read some reviews for this trimmer saying trimming nose hair was difficult.. I have not found that to be the case, it is quite easy. It is not as "easy" as the trimmers with circular blades that are only for nose hair, but frankly, I think this trimmer does a far better job than the circular trimmers I have tried. It also works great for ear hair and eyebrows!

yes. It does fine. I also have a long hair cat and it picks up beautifully.
