SOLID!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2017

AWESOME!! LOVE IT!! Bought this to replace another Philips Norelco, the one that has a vacuum system. Didn't like the other one that much, mostly because the vacuum inlet prevented me from getting close underneath the nose area. This one is solidly built, looks really nice, runs quite, come with a good assortment of attachments, etc. Gives a nice even and clean trim. Used without a guard and around the neckline, gets just as close as razor - with no snag, no pull, NO PAIN, whatsoever. It glided so effortlessly over bare skin that it was hard to keep a clean, straight line. I don't do many reviews, but after using this new razor I was so pleased that I had to share my experience with others - because I'm sure that like me, there are probably a lot of other guys out there trying to decide on a quality trimmer. There's a reason this has so many positive reviews. You won't regret the purchase.

For very short beards only.

This is a pretty solid machine. I can see how some appreciate the design of the clipper and some don't. It is uniquely angled so you nearly have it straight off of your face, which in my opinion makes it easier to get under the nose.

The big issue I have is the beard comb setting I use is at the longest length and it is barely usable, and the larger combs for trimming hair are not usable on the face at all. There is nothing in between for those of us that choose a full beard instead of stubble.

The trimmer is a little noisy, but I have owned worse. It seems to have plenty of power. I have experienced no hair pulling. It may be a good choice if you're after the stuble-look or 5o'clock shadow.

As a side note, there is no difference between the beard comb attachment and the body hair attachment except a stamped symbol in the plastic. Not sure why someone would care about using the same comb on their body as their face, it all gets washed with the same bar of soap.

Very quiet and doesn't snag. Easy to adjust. Worth the money

It's quiet and holds a charge for a very long time. It has no issues going through pretty populated areas of hair and is incredibly easy to adjust. It seems to be of good build quality and the numbers on the adjustment dial are printed on very well. It doesn't look cheap at all but it's light weight and easy to change the guides as well.

I like everything about it and found no drawbacks with this unit.

Almost Perfect

I bought the Norelco Series 7200 BT7215/49 model a couple of years ago, and it worked great until the clips broke off the cutting head. See my review and many others about that design flaw on that product review page. I liked that model mostly because it has a vacuum that collects 95% of the hair that has been cut. It's something that I just got used to and wish I had it on this model. This Series 5100 BT5215/41 does a great job of trimming my beard, and is completely waterproof as well. This is important because I nearly dropped my Series 7200 model into the toilet a while back, and when I tried to catch the clipper before it landed in the toilet, I accidentally knocked it into the mirror and chipped off the mirror edge. If this model, the Series 5100, got submerged in water, it wouldn't affect it at all. The bottom line is I give it 4 stars because I wish it had the vacuum technology.

Worth it

Very good product. After doing some research on pricing vs quality I ended up purchasing the Norelco. If you want to groom your beard it is really good due to the adjustable cutting length. In my case, as I don`t have a very big bear and I just want to use it short and well done it is very good but for dudes with very long bear the maximum length may not be enough. It is also very good if you want to trim your body hair once it also comes with one specific comb to do it. That being said the product is good quality and the battery lasts forever. I would recommend this product for personal use.

I really like this trimmer. It’s comfortable to use and very powerful. Great battery life. The only drawback is it could use more cutting heads.

My wife got this for me as a gift and she made an excellent choice. I have used Norelco beard trimmers for about 10 years now and this is by far the best one I have ever owned! I fell in love with it the first time I used it due to the precise shave and reduced time. With my old trimmer I felt like I had to go over the same spot multiple times, but with this trimmer one time over is all you need. This trimmer also gets the hairs right under my nose that my older trimmer would not. It has such a smooth shave, my face never feels irritated after using it. It is easy to clean and switch attachments, but I have not used the body hair attachment yet so I cannot comment on that but I am happy that is comes with that option. Overall I am very pleased with this trimmer and would highly recommend it!

Really want to love it but it just failed.

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2018

Returned. Reason:
1. The longest hair setting is 13mm. It is too short for me. I do not know why but the designer of this trimmer is super careful to make the increments of the length settings to an insane 0.2mm (who needs that precision anyway. My hair grow more than 0.2 mm per day!!!), however, they made the top length only 13 mm. Looks like it is only good for the GIs.
2. The concept is excellent to use a scroll wheel to adjust the length setting. But it just do not work. I did not even start to use the trimmer and the mechanism broke when I was playing with it right out of the box. When fully extended, the wheel could not pull the guard back. I need to manually push in back in to make it work again. And this problem is very repeatable.

I really want to love this trimmer because I have been using a Norelco head hair trimmer in the past few years and it is dying out with broken guards and drained non-Li-ion battery. But come on Philips...
