Philips Norelco Beard Trimmer and Hair Clipper Series 5500

I’ve had this trimmer for about 10 months. It replaced a similar model, also from Philips, which had lasted multiple years, which had itself replaced another one that lasted multiple years. In general I was happy with the trimming quality, guards, and length options, and I used it for both stubble trimming and maintaining a friend’s undercut. However, the trimmer recently abruptly died, no longer running nor accepting a charge. The trimmer is inexpensive enough that I’ll get another one, but I’m concerned that long-term reliability may not be very good anymore.
