Review on Braun BT5050 Men's Beard Trimmer: Precision Cordless Hair Cutting Machine with 25 Length Settings by Katie Gibson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It worked fine at first, fell to the ground after a few months

I had this trimmer about a year ago. It was decent initially as it was my first bear trimmer. After about 6 months the performance really started to drop. I last used it about 3 days ago, it doesn't cut at all and takes dozens of passes just to thin out my beard. By the time I was done, my face was covered in half-cropped hair that kept clinging to the collars of my shirt and coat. a brownie trimmer as a backup, but for now I'll just throw it away. I tried to salvage this one by washing and oiling but in the end it was hopeless. Long story short, the motor doesn't run, the blades dull quickly, and the combs don't guide my hair to the blades very well. My Braun electric shaver still works despite being almost 15 years old, but it was hopeless.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Volume
