Replacement nozzle model
Model of replacement head(s) compatible with electric shaver. This data will be useful primarily when looking for spare nozzles.
In box
—
Case. Cases include all kinds of rigid structures for storing a shaver. Cases in the form of handbags made of thick fabric also fall into this category. In addition to reliable storage of the device, they also elevate the model to the highest class. In more low-cost electric shavers, a much more primitive fabric case is included in the package.
—
Charging stand. A special stand on which the shaver can be installed to charge the batteries. There are no fundamental technical differences between such charging and charging from a power cord, the main difference is that the stand can also be used to store a shaver. Therefore, shavers with a charging stand are well suited for home use.
—
Wireless charging. A special stand that charges the shaver without a precise connection through the plug — just put the electric shaver on it and the battery pack will automatically start recharging. This saves the user the hassle of connecting wires and reduces wear on the connectors. On the other hand, such a function has a significant impact on the cost of the battle and increases the duration of the charging process itself, since the charging platforms themselves are made low-power for safety reasons.
—
Self-cleaning station. It is a special stand where the shaver is installed for automatic maintenance. This maintenance, as the
...name suggests, primarily includes cleaning — the shaving unit is cleaned of hairs and dust - as well as charging the battery. In addition, self-cleaning systems can provide lubrication and disinfection of the shaving unit, but this function is less common and requires the use of consumables (oil and disinfectant).
— Facial brush. It is convenient to clean the face from the cut bristles with a brush. The brush that comes with an electric shaver usually has a medium bristle length. Some electric shavers are equipped with a universal brush, which is designed for both cleaning the face and combing the beard and mustache.Battery capacity
While higher battery capacity theoretically extends a device's operation on a single charge, practical considerations are more complex. Ampere-hours are a specific unit, comparable only among batteries with the same voltage. For differing voltages, capacity must be converted to watt-hours for accurate comparison. Furthermore, actual tool battery life depends on consumption and performance, not just battery properties. Comparing battery capacity is meaningful only when models share the same voltage and capabilities. Operating time is a more informative parameter for comparison.
Operating time
The average runtime of electric shavers on a full battery charge, without recharging, is generally overestimated due to factors like hair length, density, and trimmer usage. Manufacturer claims for runtime tend to be higher than actual usage.
Longer runtimes require heavier and more expensive powerful batteries. Most shavers offer around
45 minutes of runtime, while some models provide up to
1 hour or as low as
30 minutes of operation.
Charge level indicator
The presence in the design of the electric shaver
charge level indicator.
It's important to highlight that in this context, an indicator refers specifically to a visual representation of the charge level. This could manifest as a battery icon or a percentage displayed on the
display. Such an indicator significantly simplifies battery monitoring, minimizing the possibility of being unexpectedly left with a depleted battery.
