Braun All-In-One 5 series Trimmer Review

[@Les_england9546]

How do you know when it’s fully charged?

[@poluzois320]

The small equipment with the holes is it a shaver? I think they call it a detail trimmer but can i use this instead of a razor blade?

[@lopati15]

can u explain the settings what numbers are for a closer shave

[@TrimmerManual]

yes - just pull the guard all the way off. The guard on the Braun trimmers is adjustable, but it can also be removed. Completely removing the guard will get you the closest trim. If you have the guard on. the lower numbers are the closer cutting settings. This one goes down to 1 mm. Turn the dial all the way counter-clockwise.

[@Dave-ld3dr]

How wide is the blade width itself with no guard?

[@TrimmerManual]

its 1 5/16" edge to edge

[@TrimmerManual]

(one and five sixteenths) if that wasn't' clear :)

[@monokendo]

is the 5 series faster than 3 series?

[@TrimmerManual]

I believe they run at the same RPM.

[@Na-2isEPLF4life]

Oil for the machine?

[@TrimmerManual]

Yes, just for the blade.

[@daniel6242]

what is the oil you refer to for?

[@TrimmerManual]

Generally its mineral oil.

[@paul2d]

I use Wahl clipper oil

[@mrchhajed5624travelwithme]

Full charge time plz ?

[@TrimmerManual]

Full Charge in 1 hour with 100 min of run time. This is a big improvement over the 3 series which uses the NiMi battery and takes 10 hours to charge and gives you 50 min of run time.

Does it shave your neck/cheeks well without getting super hot?

[@TrimmerManual]

The Braun doesn't get very hot. We have found that most trimmers don't get too hot. Adding oil can help reduce friction a lot if your trimmer is getting hot. Also, ceramic blades stay a bit cooler. If your trimmer blade is getting too hot, try adding some mineral oil and make sure not to rinse your trimmer under water.

[@tgonzalez1983]

@@TrimmerManual cool. But it does shave close right?

[@TrimmerManual]

Its about average for trimmers like this. Somewhere close to a half millimeter. If you want to trim shorter you would need a specialty blade like the Phillips Oneblade or Beardscape Zero Blade

[@tgonzalez1983]

@@TrimmerManual cool. I need one for line work around my beard & have very thick hair. Might try one of those out

[@TrimmerManual]

@@tgonzalez1983 I avoid using a razor at all costs, so the specialty trimmers can be helpful! You can also use tweezers on your cheek line to keep that sharp.

[@elverdaderojavier]

You need to put a bit more effort into this. Show people that you've actually used it. Compare it to other trimmers in the same price range. Discuss the noise level, the charging time, etc. Also, the Philips trimmers don't require any oiling and that's a big plus for some people, and a big minus for the Braun.

[@TrimmerManual]

Thanks for the advice! It can be hard to remember what items to touch on when talking about a trimmer, we really need a check list to make sure we touch on everything. On a side note, I wouldn't believe what Philips says about not requiring oil. Their blade is not different than other companies and does work better with oil. They just want to say that it doesn't need oil so they can sound better :)

[@elverdaderojavier]

@@TrimmerManual You're welcome. I'd recommend watching other reviewers and compiling a check list of the things they discuss. You can measure the loudness of the trimmer, in decibels, with a phone app. I disagree about the Philips not needing oil. I own a the cheapest Philips MG3000 series which I bought four years ago and it works as well as the day I got it. I paid $20 directly from them and it works as advertised with no tugging or pulling.

[@doctorkayak]

A review without actually demonstrating it... I'll pass!

[@chris.alexander.06]

is it good for shaving balls or nah

[@TrimmerManual]

Not our top pick for that. I think trimmers with snap on guards or adjustable blades work better. This does have a different blade for body hair that has a few snap-on guards. The blade overall is not high quality and a ceramic blade would be a bit better for pubic hair trimming. Again, you could definitely make this work for pubic hair trimming, but there are others that are better. On the lower price end, check out the original Meridian trimmer, on the higher end, check out Beardscape.
