Top critical review
3.0 out of 5 starsIt cuts well when going against the hair but not in opposite direction
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 May 2024
The trimmer has a compact body that is pleasant to hold, featuring smooth and durable plastic. It comes with several attachments that work on a push-in and click basis. This is where I encountered my first small issue: the attachment for trimming nose hair is difficult to remove because the base has a small surface area and the plastic is smooth, making it hard to get a good grip.
The trimmer can be charged either by plugging the USB cable directly into it or by placing it in the charging base. My second issue is with the quality of the blades. When I tried to shave without moving the trimmer against the hair, it struggled to cut. It only worked well when I moved it against the hair. This is a big downside for me as my old Philips trimmer had no problem with that whatsoever. This is disappointing because the trimmer should cut hair effortlessly, no matter which direction I move it on my skin, and my old trimmer did this perfectly.
Lastly, the on/off switch does not always turn the trimmer off on the first press. It’s not a major issue, but it’s another sign of the product’s lack of quality.
I like this trimmer for its compactness, but it does not perform as well as it should, hence my 3-star rating.
