Review on πŸ’ˆ Philips BT7201 Beard Trimmer with Built-in Vacuum for Rechargeable Grooming by Vanessa Jones

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Why have they made so many design changes that aren't good?

Have been using this model for a year now. This redesigned version with the thin plastic tabs that attach the adjustable guard and cutting head has mine in the trash now. One of the tabs holding the cutter head in place broke off on mine. I read the reviews before buying but figured I would be very wary of the downsides of the new design - and I was. It seems that the repeated process of removing the trimmer head to clean cut hair is too much for this model. I was also disappointed that the longest hair setting was 10mm. The previous version had a much longer version. The vacuum cleaner of this model is weak. The fact that the trimmer head had to be removed to empty the trimmed hair (compared to the gullwing door design of previous models) is silly. When they made this change, the cutterhead attachment system had to be very secure. Stay away from this model. Now I'm going to look for a different brand of trimmer.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
