Philips BT5502 Series 5000

Advantages: 1. Mains and battery operation 2. Long battery life 3. Convenient length adjustment 4. Can be washed with water.

Comment: For those who are not in the know. This is not a razor, not a trimer, so he does not shave off his hair, but shortens it. You should not count on the stated 0.4mm everywhere, because a lot depends on the direction of hair growth. Perfectionists will still need to use a razor for styling. The battery holds well. I cut my beard about 5 times and cut my hair a couple of times. For the 6th time, the trimer warned with a blinking diode, connected it to the network and continued its work with power supply via the wire. In the Philips MG series of this price range, the situation with the battery is much worse, namely 18 hours of charging, 1-2 hours of operation and there is no possibility of working from the mains. It is quite suitable for cutting hair on the head. Sheared only with a 2-3mm nozzle. Adjusting the length by lifting the nozzle is convenient, because it's faster, you don't need a bunch of attachments and you can choose any length. In the Philips MG series, you need to change attachments, you need to store them all and there are no attachments for any length. If the skin is not smooth, it may cut. In such places you can walk with a nozzle at the level of 1mm.

Advantages: Shaves perfectly. Exact length adjustment step (from 0.4 to 20). Long battery life. Fits comfortably in the hand. Without attachments, it does not twitch or scratch. Not loud. Hair does not fly away much. Very easy to clean.

Disadvantages: A bit big. The cover material included is disgusting, unpleasant to touch. Few attachments.

Comment: I have been looking for a replacement for the broken good old Rovente 3450 for several months. Something productive for a short beard / 1-3 day stubble. Tried Philips OneBlade 6510. This is solid marketing. Normally he does not shave either cleanly or his beard. Tried Babyliss 846. Not very good either. Slippery and takes a lot of time to shave. In Philips 5502 I found what I was looking for. Very simple, no newfangled features, but efficiently copes with the main function. Everything can be forgiven for this. after a year of use: 1. in quarantine it was perfectly possible to use the trimmer as a clipper. I have already cut my father-in-law with my son a couple of times, and they cut me too. 2. Someone doubted that I could try other models given in the review. I confirm that I bought and used them for several weeks. But then I wanted something more adequate.

Advantages: simple and sealed design, excellent length adjustment (0.2 step)

Disadvantages: hair is stuffed under the cover with knives

Comment: Simple and reliable design, can be used in the shower. The attachments are enough for a huge range, although large attachments in my case are completely useless due to the lack of straight and manageable hair)

Advantages: Awesome device! She cuts that mows) I do not have a very thick beard, and copes with it with a bang. Many customization options are long. Taking care of the beard is much easier and more interesting than when I used Moser 1574. I specially chose according to the parameters so that it was up to 20 mm long. and combined power (from the battery and from the network). This machine has it all. And it is convenient to take care of the beard and you can cut your son.

Disadvantages: Seems noisy. And I would like an additional narrow knife for shaving strips.

Comment: First impressions are very good. I cut my own whiskey yesterday. All OK. I do not want to let go of the machine and shave something else))) I add to the review. Cut my son's hair. 3 years old guy. He took everything for granted) The haircut turned out almost like in a hairdresser. Fast, smooth, cute.

Advantages: Quite a good trimmer, fairly smooth length stroke It is comfortable to hold in hand Hair does not throw all over the bath

Disadvantages: A typical problem with a length of more than 1.5 cm, you have to do it already 5 times in order to somehow align and play with nozzles. But everyone had a trimmer before that ... Although I think it is worth considering the structure of hair growth. Quite a long charge, but these are trifles

Comment:

Advantages: Convenient length adjustment. Price quality. Nothing extra.

Disadvantages: I wanted a better and harder cover, not just a bag.

Comment: Shaves perfectly.

Advantages: Doesn't pull hair, scratches a little, but less than the competitor I used before. Charges quickly. Has a charge indicator. Holds the charge pretty well. Resistant to moisture.

Disadvantages: The actual minimum length is greater than a "competitor" with the same specified minimum length. The hairs fly in all directions during shaving, then you have to tinker to clean up. Although it is resistant to moisture, it gets inside the structure. The steel head is screwed onto the plastic (: The area under the nose is inconvenient to handle with the head, and it is not removed in the most convenient way.

Comment: An interesting option for its price, but it could have been done better.
