Cheap trimmers tug pull and die after a year. This one does not. The Philips Series 5000 uses self sharpening metal blades that stay sharp without oiling and the integrated Lift and Trim system guides flat lying hairs straight into the cutter so no random patches or uneven fades. The zoom wheel gives 40 lock in settings ranging from designer stubble at 0.4 mm up to a full 20 mm beard so you control the exact length instead of guessing.

The battery lasts up to 90 minutes per charge which is far more than most budget models and a quick five minute charge is enough for a full trim if you are in a rush before work or a night out. Can be used corded or cordless and it is fully waterproof for easy cleaning under the tap. The build feels solid rather than rattly plastic and the handle sits comfortably even for full head shaving if you want to use it as a hair clipper.
