How adjustable is length? Will it accept clip on cutting guides or just have a built-in range of adjustment. I want #2,3&4 for my beard. Any suggest?

These are trimmers so they come with a "zero gap". They are not outwardly adjustable, you'd have to take them apart and even then may not be adjustable. Im not certain because I haven't taken them apart but I wouldn't recommend it for warranty reasons. They come with guards that fit. Anyone looking for something more adjustable may have to upgrade to "clippers" with multiple guides or go with a different model trimmer.

These are trimmer, they come with small guard but won't take the guards you would like to use and will leave a very short length with the included guards. I hope this help answer your question.

It is highly adjustable and has three cutting heads for thick beard, thin beard and ... thinner beard/hair. It uses a 'dial setting' to keep the distance from blade to hair/face constant until it is changed up or downwards. It's the best trimmer I've used in 27 years and is powerful and the charge lasts a long time with the Lithium battery.

It trims my beard and cuts my head hair easier than a knife slices through butter. I'll bet that it can trim beards of any length. The clippers are adjustable.

The leading edge of the beard trimmer blade is 1 1/4" wide. The cutting teeth occupy 1 inch of the width (leaving 1/8" non-cutting "blade" width on either side of the actual teeth.) I wear a "close-trimmed" beard. I usually set the trimmer on "3", sometimes "2". This unit handles the "close cropped" beard very well. I disagree with the complaints about "flimsy plastic" on the blade shield/housing. Just hold the blade shield/housing with "normal" pressure against your beard and there should be no problem for "close cropped" beards.

I don't have it in front of me, however I believe it has attachments up to 1 inch down to 1/4 inch and the larger clipper has a built in sliding guide for about a 1/4 inch down to a close stubble. The smaller one is very close to a shave. The are both very durable and Wahl is what my Barber and Brother, a stylist, use and have for over 20 years, my Barber still uses one he bought in the 80's! I hope this helps, Take Care.

I purchased BG2030 trimmer from Amazon in 2010 for $47.99. They obviously realized people were will to pay far more. As for the trimmer, it is fantastic and that includes the trimming of facial hair. That is, if you want to knock down a beard before shaving or if you're into the two day growth look. I believe there insistence that it not be used for facial hair reflects their desire to sell products specifically designed, and marketed, for that purpose.

It's not good for trimming a beard. The blade/teeth are to wide. I ended up buying the Wahl Cordless Clipper/Trimmer. The blade are much finer which is what I needed in order to obtain a clean tape for my beard. I guess it's ok for anything other than facial/neck trimming.

No, it's not adjustable. This razor seems to be pretty non-aggressive. Works great for me as my beard is not too thick. I seem to get lots more cuts with more aggressive razors. You will probably want a more aggressive or adjustable razor for a tougher beard.

You can buy a set of inexpensive plastic clip on guides that are numbered to put over your blade. Lets you clip at what ever length you want. Some of the guides are spring loaded when attaching. They work great.

I don't shave my face..........~wait a minute, I DO shave my face sometimes ~.even though I am a female. Never mind. I think that it should work well for trimming a beard. It cuts the hair evenly. The height of the blade in relation to the guide is adjustable. Please check the range of length of hair that can be cut in relation to how long you wear your beard.

This machine is too big for beards in my opinion I use just to trim my beard but not shap it up. So just to cut your beard down yes to shape it no

It has a moustache trimming tool which pops out. (Think EDGE trimmer.) However, I do not see how it could be used with a spacer to trim beard hairs themselves to a certain length. I already have a beard trimmer, though so it's not an issue for me.

The blade has a nice feature where you can adjust it an 1/8 of an inch or more by sliding a lever on the back of the blade assembly. This allows you to create stubble without having to use any of the blade guides.

It has multiple attachments to regulate how close the cut is. I use it mostly for trimming my beard.

Yeah, it would work well as a beard trimmer. It's a good blade. It just has a serious design flaw in the case, so be gentle when extending it.

My men don't have beards, but I don't see why not. If you are going for the Jimmy Johnson look (yum) ( Nascar 48) this would work. It has a 1/8th clip on style guard all the way uo to 1 inch guard. It also can be removed for a real close clean around the neck.
