Philips Series 5000 BT5200

Philips beard trimmers compete with barbershops by making it easy and convenient to trim your facial hair at home. And the BT-5200 model in this regard is a good example.

Self-sharpening blades and trimming system

The Philips BT-5200 has automatic self-sharpening of steel blades, which allows them to stay sharp for a long time. According to the manufacturer, the machine does not need lubrication. The trimmer head has a built-in comb that lifts the hairs for an even cut. All this is designed to simplify the process of creating a well-groomed stubble and modeling a beard.

Maximum shaving precision

The model has 17 length settings ranging between 0.4 and 10 mm. The shortest bristle has a 0.2mm selection pitch for precise alignment. Further, the correction intervals increase to 0.5, and on large beard sizes — up to 1 mm. Without a comb, you can make edging, as well as get almost clean-shaven skin. However in this case, careful handling is necessary, since, judging by user reviews, it is not difficult to cut yourself with a trimmer without a nozzle.

Battery life and easy care

The model is battery operated or mains powered. The charging time is only an hour, and the period of autonomous functioning is the same. But unlike the Philips HC-5450/15 machine, there is no indication of a low battery charge.

The Philips BT-5200 waterproof case allows you to rinse the device under running water.

In general, with this trimmer, you can successfully care for both 2-4 day stubble and beards of various lengths.
