About Philips Series 5000 Norelco Electric Cordless One Pass Beard and Stubble Trimmer with Washable Feature
Overall Feedback:
88% positive
77% liked the waterproof feature
I can rinse the Philips trimmer under the tap, which is a positive feature for waterproofing of beard-mustache-trimmers.
I mainly use the trimmer in the shower and have had no issues with water damage.
87% found it compact and portable
The trimmer is cordless and holds a charge well enough. It's a good choice when traveling.
I have found that the controls on this clipper are better than any I have used before.
I highly recommend this product because of its portability, which is due to the battery life.
89% appreciated the adjustable length settings
The adjustment is solid with no play in the setting. Also, 2.5mm is exact, not a range around it.
87% found it easy to clean and maintain
I can easily clean the trimmer with the included brush and it is washable too.
72% liked the sleek and ergonomic design, but 28% weren't impressed
I am disappointed with the new comb design as it scratches my skin and hurts while using it.
I noticed a gap in the black comb which can push my skin and cause complete shaving. I am not sure what the design engineers were thinking with this. My review expresses negative feedback regarding the design of beard-mustache-trimmers.
The gaps in the guard cause bald patches as the skin gets too close.
85% were satisfied with the cutting options, but 15% faced limitations
I think the trimmer is versatile as it comes with three plastic protectors to set the cutting height for stubble and longer beard, and can also be used for hair.
The trimmer has an easy-to-use cutting depth adjustment and a display with back lighting, which is a nice touch.
I noticed that the trimmer cut my beard unevenly and too short.
90% appreciated the sharpness of the blades
The blades cut well and are very sharp, but the guards' design did not work for me.
I have sharp blades and a strong motor, resulting in a clean cut.
92% appreciated the long battery life
The battery life is good enough for a couple of hair cuts or slightly more depending on how long I take.
The trimmer has a good standby battery life and has been working on a single charge since it arrived. I have used it twice in the last week.
The battery life is outstanding. I didn't have to charge it for 2 months after charging it properly for the first time. A good battery stays charged for a long time when not in use.
