Philips Series 5100 Review: • Beard Trimming - Phili...
Philips Multigroom 7000 Review: • Beard Trimming - Phili...
In this video, I’m taking a look at the Braun BT3040 beard trimmer.
This beard trimmer is an Amazon Choice Recommendation, ranking at #41 for the category of beard and mustache trimmers. It also holds a respectable 3.8 out of 5-star rating.
Now, I thought it would be especially valuable if I not only reviewed the Braun BT3040 beard trimmer, but also compared it to the Philips Norelco Series 5100. These 2 beard trimming devices have very similar features, and it’s likely you’d be choosing between the two for your beard trimming needs.
The Braun Beard Trimmer BT3040 utilizes a short and long beard comb that work in tandem with a precision dial.
The Philips Series 5100 beard trimmer includes 3 beard and hair combs that work in combination with a built-in zoom wheel.
I’ve read that some people have had an issue with the Braun BT3040 combs sliding out of position and accidentally pushing the cutting length dial to an undesired beard trim setting. While I didn’t experience this during my beard trim, it’s something to watch out for.
The Braun BT3040 beard trimmer incorporates 39 length settings, ranging from 1mm to 20mm, with 0.5mm increments.
The Philips Norelco Series 5100 is capable of cutting at 34 different length settings, from 0.4mm to 13mm.
The Braun BT3040 beard trimmer features two AAA nickel metal hydride re-chargeable batteries that required 8 hours of charge time for 60 minutes of use.
The Philips Norelco Series 5100 beard trimmer uses a Lithium Ion Battery and requires only 1 hour of charge time for 70 minutes of use.
Note that both trimmers can also be used plugged-in for continuous use.
As you’ll hear me say in the video, I found that the Braun BT3040 beard trimmer’s power dulled a bit as I worked my way through the beard trim.
In listening to the hum of these devices side by side, it’s clear that the Philips Norelco Series 5100 beard trimmer is the stronger contender power-wise.
The Braun BT3040 and the Philips Series 5100 beard trimmer, along with their attachments, are both fully washable. However, these trimmers can only be used in dry conditions and should not be used while bathing or in the shower.
The Braun BT3040 beard trimmer requires occasional oiling to maintain the blades, while no oiling is needed for the Philips Norelco Series 5100.
Currently, the Philips Norelco Series 5100 trimmer sells on Amazon for around $44.99, while you’ll find the Braun Beard Trimmer BT3040 $10 cheaper at $34.99.
For this beard trim, I shorten up the sides of my beard, leaving a longer goatee and mustache. I trim under the neck line and around the face to get some nice crisp lines. I also work in some dimension by using just a few of the many settings available on these two beard trimming devices.
These are two great beard trimmers, but there is a clear winner.
Be sure to watch the video to find out the GroomReviews recommendation.
Will it be the Braun BT3040 beard trimmer or the Philips Norelco Series 5100 beard and head trimmer?
The Braun BT3040 includes the following:
BT3040 Trimmer
1mm to 10mm Beard Comb
11mm to 20mm Beard Comb
Gillette Fusion Proglide razor
Charging Cord
Cleaning Brush

When I found this channel i felt like i won the lottery. This video was so helpful thanks😍

Great video. It helped me decide in a snap. Also, I love how you don't waste time rambling. First rate video!!!!

[@SirWestmountParker]

Which is better the Braun bt3040 or the Braun beard trimmer 7?

[@HaiderArif-fy7lo]

I'm looking for nice one Trimmer. With 0 to 10 number. Could u recommend me please

[@GroomReviews]

Hi, Haider. In my opinion, the Philips Norelco Multigroom 7000 (amzn.to/2TkEiIpis) is a great trimmer and one that I continue to recommend. For it's price and what you get out of it, I have found it to be at the top of the beard trimmers I have reviewed to-date. If you haven't already, I recommend taking a look at my video for the Multigroom 7000 seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3fRYYafZqegr8U. However, if you're looking for a beard trimmer that has less attachments and smaller increment settings that are built into the device, which can go from 0.4mm up to 20mm (Beard Trimmer 5500), then I would recommend taking a look at my video on the Philips Norelco Beard Trimmer 5500 vs Series 5100 seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4Sod5J3hMqhjZo. Both these trimmers are almost identical in the features, however, the 5500 is the latest version in the 5000 series. Depending on the best deal out there for the Beard Trimmer 5500 (amzn.to/2Krd0wX) or Series 5100 (amzn.to/2YWnoB9), you won't go wrong going with either one. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and being a member of the GroomReviews community! All the best!

Can you make a top 5 type video for 2023

[@ebrahimaly7498]

Would you please review the Remington HC4250 Rapid cut

[@GroomReviews]

Hi, Ebrahim Aly. Thank you for your suggestion of the Remington HC4250 Rapid Cut. I will keep this trimmer in mind for a possible review on a future video. Thanks for watching and being part of the GroomReviews community. All the best!

[@Jeremy.Nevermore]

You keep banging out great reviews man! Quick question for you, how close does the Norelco 5100 cut without any guard on it? The reason I ask is because I bald out my head weekly, and cant seem to find anything that cuts as good as my 10 year old Remington BHT600 even though I believe they are only at .05 mm without a guard!

[@GroomReviews]

Hi, Jeremy. Thanks so much for the support and positive feedback! I really appreciate it! To your question, the Philips Norelco Series 5100 will cut as close as 0.4mm (1/64") without a guard. However, it may be difficult to tell the difference between trimming at 0.5mm vs 0.4mm since they are so close. If trying to get close to the skin, without using a razor, you might be interested in a shaver like the Braun Series 9. Here is a link to my video review if interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKHQkKR6mtp9mc0. It's a pricier device, but many men have found this to work well when looking to smooth out their head. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and being a positive influence in the GroomReviews community. All the best!

[@GroomReviews]

Hi, Miguel. Thank you for your suggestion of the Braun BT 7040. I will keep this trimmer in mind for a possible review on a future video. Thanks for watching and being part of the GroomReviews community. All the best!

[@rajsohan5509]

Hey Paul I'm looking for a electric/foil shaver that gets down to almost a shave kind of smoothness (trying to find an alternative to shaving). If you had any suggestions that be awesome!

[@GroomReviews]

Hi, Raj. Thanks for your question. I definitely recommend taking a look at two of my videos. The first is on the Braun Series 3 vs the Remington F5-5800 seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nISyaYSJiLljeZY. These are both very similar foil shavers, priced affordably and the top ranked foil shavers on Amazon. For a higher end foil shaver, please take a look at my review of the Braun Series 9 seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKHQkKR6mtp9mc0. See what you think and let me know if you have any questions. Hope this helps! Thanks for being a member of the GroomReviews community! All the best!

[@waybackzach4411]

Hey Paul! Just found you channel and I have to say it’s awesome! I’m in the market for a beard trimmer and finding you was perfect timing. For pure beard trimming would you still recommend the Norelco MG 7000 or possibly the BT 5100? Keep up the great work!

[@GroomReviews]

Hi, WayBackZach. Thank you so much for the positive feedback! I greatly appreciate your support of the channel and am happy to hear this video was helpful to you. For beard trimming, I still recommend the Multigroom 7000. Of the trimmers I have reviewed to-date, it is still one of the better performers on the beard and has received many positive comments from community members. It also is holding a very positive 4.6 out of 5.0 star review rating on Amazon (amzn.to/2W1yfsg). As you saw in this video, the Multigroom 7000 comes with the pieces needed for creating that crisp, uniform look and depending on the size of your beard, you can interchange the beard and hair guards to trim at longer lengths or get down to that stubble look. Def test it out and see what you think. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and being a member of the GroomReviews community! All the best!

Love your in-depth reviews fellow Beardman! I refunded the Braun BT3040. The performance wasn't too great which was ok because I completely oppose Gillette as a company following their virtue signalling commercial that vilified their consumer base. Quick question, is there any chance of reviewing one of those Philips vacuum beard trimmers? In the end, I bought the 7000 multigroom device reviewed on your channel. But I'm also keeping the vacuum trimmer as a potential alternative in the future. Keep up the great work.

[@GroomReviews]

Hi, Marky Thanks so much for the positive feedback and words of encouragement! I appreciate you sharing your experience and hope the Philips Norelco Multigroom 7000 is working out well for you. Thank you for your suggestion of the Philips Vacuum Beard Trimmer. I will keep this trimmer in mind for a possible review on a future video. Thanks, again, for watching and being a member of the GroomReviews community! All the best!
