Packaging and accessories:
Minimalist. The packaging is quite simple, however, the accessory could be a little better. It is only doing a small, (carelessly processed) brush to clean the device. This could be a bit bigger ... Furthermore ine small storage bag would make sense. However, this also missing. So you get next to the device, a power supply and said Reinigunspinsel.
The unit itself ...:
... Looks chic, acts also processed relatively high. Although it is made of plastic (the bottom of "Soft Grip" rubber), but does not act like cheap plastic, made a fairly solid impression. I had read the Babyliss E842XE who (was and also cheaper) a lot "cheaper" worked.
The trimmer is comfortable to hold, is perhaps a little too "long", but makes handling easier in some places.
Shortcoming of the design:
The trimmer is rolling like to get away ... if you do not "calm" him lying down. While there are two small Kunstoffnoppen that should stabilize the beach, but you do not present it with a steady hand through, he could do a role, at worst, from the sink to the ground! That is not done quite so happy. Something square would there be an advantage.
Cut:
Unless you're hurtling down his face, does not occur chirp etc. on. I use the kürzseste setting of 0.5 mm ... because you have nice often "ride" on a site, but is in other well too. But you should make something on the angle, so that the result is more consistent!
Bin with the cutting performance satisfactory. For a more detailed feature I have to say much. On / Off button, which is well integrated into the housing (does not stand out or so). The wheel to adjust the cutting length locks well, accidental adjustment is not really possible, as long as you lining up not entirely stupid.
It is waterproof, you can rinse it under the Wassserhahn. (However, in the instructions also means that one should not keep him directly Unters water - as Philips makes contradictory statements ...)
Conclusion:
Good processed Beard Trimmer in the beautiful design, which is, however, a little too plump - is thus well in hand, the drop is, however, be treated with caution, as it easily rolls to the side!
Cutting performance flawlessly, no tangles.
I had first mentioned as the Babyliss E842XE, which costs about half. Have him but returned because I also put emphasis on the feel and processing. The cutting power of Philips also seems to me to be a bit better.
