If you have to buy a Philips Norelco beard trimmer than this is as good as it gets.Philips makes a great line of men’s shavers, and they also have a few choices in men’s trimmers, to make it easier to style beard and facial hair. A long battery life and 20 length settings being just some of the highlights. If you consider the Vacuum a must have feature then it is likely your mind is already made up.Īnd if you don’t have coarse beard hairs then you will likely be very impressed with the beard trimmer. There really isn’t any other beard trimmer on the market like the Philips Norelco 7200. Despite this, half the testers really loved the built in vacuum. If you find that the vacuum isn’t as effective as it should be then try changing the angle that you use to trim your facial hair.Īt the end of the day you will still have to clean your sink with the added step of emptying the hair catcher. The effectiveness of the vacuum seemed to vary depending on how the beard trimmer is held. Obviously this added step to the beard trimming process failed to impress. They had to pause their trimming session, clean out the chamber before continuing. The vacuum sucked up small hair clippings with an easily manageable amount falling to the sink below.īut testers who had long bushy beards found that the hair chamber would fill before they had finished trimming. Testers who loved the vacuum had shorter beards. Some testers loved it while others found it useless. The usefulness of the vacuum was the subject of much debate. The detail trimmer struggled with coarser hairs while those with fine to medium hairs were able to give their facial hair some much needed shape. Testers did comment that the zoom wheel was on the stiff side which made adjusting a less than enjoyable experience.įortunately once you find your desired length setting most people won’t adjust the zoom wheel again. The adjustable comb did it’s job at adding length to the hair, giving beards a tidy up without losing too much length. Testers commented that it was easier to use the detail trimmer for this area. This is because the vacuum actually reduces the exposed blade area. One thing we did notice was that trimming under the nose was difficult with the standard trimmer. While the trimmer performed fine one fine to medium hairs, coarse hairs saw it require more passes in order to trim every single hair. Trimmer to face the blade performed satisfactorily at cutting beard hairs to length. Just the normal high pitched whirring sound you would expect from a beard trimmer. Despite having a built in vacuum cleaner, the 7200 is no noisier than the competition. With the power button successfully pushed the trimmer would burst into action. You have to press down on the power symbol to kick the trimmer into action. Pressing at the sides of the switch to turn the beard trimmer on. Fortuantely the exposed dial offers a section for your fingers to get a good grasp on the handle.Īs appears to be a common trend on Philips Norelco beard trimmers, you have to be precise with where you press. There does not appear to be a rubber grip on the rear and we can’t help wish that Philips chose a less slippery plastic for the rear of the trimmer. Given that Philips Norelco had worked metal into the body we were impressed with just how light the beard trimmer felt in the hand.
