About Braun Beard Trimmer BT5240, Hair Clippers for Men
Overall Feedback:
79% positive
67% liked the waterproof feature, but 33% experienced leakage issues
I have owned other trimmers that were not waterproof, but this trimmer is.
The trimmer is safe to use in the shower as it is waterproof.
I can trim my nose and ears in the shower with the waterproof nose and ear trimmer.
I have noticed that the trimmer is not waterproof but is somewhat water resistant.
75% found it compact and portable, but 25% found it bulky
The trimmer comes with a small carrier case, making it great for travel or home use.
The trimmer is not travel-size and takes up more space in my luggage.
80% appreciated the adjustable length settings, but 20% were dissatisfied
I have a trimmer with multiple length settings and a narrower blade, making it optimized for beard trimming.
I love the feature of the dial adjustable length, which eliminates the need for fixed length guard head attachments.
I have a trimmer with plastic trim guards to set hair length and an electric razor attachment that works really well.
I buzz my hair down to 6mm using the shortest hair guard setting of 15mm.

82% found it easy to clean and maintain
I appreciate the sturdier head of the trimmer, which is easy to disassemble and clean, making it more like professional trimmers.
I love how easy it is to clean this trimmer. Unlike my other electronic devices, I can immerse it in water without worrying about damage. It's a huge help when it comes to cutting and cleaning hair.
64% liked the sleek and ergonomic design, but 36% weren't impressed
The trimmer's design and build quality are solid, smooth and a joy to work with.
I have a complaint about the adjustable guards. They should have been more sturdy and it is difficult to select the exact level I want. The design should have required me to press a button to move the guard higher or lower, instead of just one direction.
The adjustable clipper is not designed well as it can switch to a longer setting or come off completely without noticing.
I find the design of the trimmer strange and don't understand the thought behind it.
72% were satisfied with the cutting options, but 28% faced limitations
I can customize my grooming with the trimmer's two combs and dial setting button.
I gave the trimmer a one star rating because it can nip hard enough to make your sack bleed, which is a serious issue.
75% appreciated the sharpness of the blades, but 25% found them dull
I have not seen such sharp blades in other cheap trimmers.
I faced the same issue on 3 separate occasions despite the blades being sharp.
The blades snag and pull painfully because they are not sharp.
The new trimmer blade is not as sharp as the old one.
76% appreciated the long battery life, but 24% found it lacking
The battery life lasts for only 30 minutes and needs to be charged after an extended session.
After a couple of months, my battery only lasts about 60-90 seconds and I have a thick beard to trim.
When I first used the razor, the battery lasted for 6-7 minutes, but over the past few months, the battery life has decreased to around 1 minute.
After a full charge, the battery life lasts only for 20 minutes.
