Customer Ratings & Reviews

It has a long lasting battery, and is a very precise shave!

Husband won’t use them because the guards are shaped odd he says.

It worked only for a couple months now it doesn’t charge anymore. Unbelievable.

Great shaver just no pouch as it said it comes with missleading

This trimmer does exactly what it was designed to do providing a nice, clean trim. I used it on both facial hair as well as the top of my head and it worked well for both. The shape and design of the trimmer is top-notch - something that looks nice even if it’s out on your bathroom counter. The shape is ergonomic and fits nicely in the hand. The size is nice as it’s big enough to use confidently but it’s small enough that you can travel with it as well. It comes with 3 different guards to provide different cutting length options all the way from 0.4mm to 20mm. It also has a dial or “zoom wheel” as they call it to fine-tune the cutting length which is actually displayed and illuminated when you turn the device on. The zoom wheel works well and has plenty of grip even while using it with wet hands. Although the design of the trimmer itself is very sleek, I wish it came with a charging stand for better presentation while it’s charging. The charging cable is nice and long and the plug itself is short in height so it does not block other outlets. It takes about an hour to charge from fully drained and it says it is claimed for 100 minutes of use. I didn’t time this exactly but I easily got 2 weeks out of it with daily use. Overall this is a great trimmer.

I wish I could return it, because it does not work for me. The product is not at fault.

Worked great when it worked. Tried to turn it on after a few months and nothing. Charge light won't even come on. Typical garbage electronics that are being produced these days. Too late to return.

Doesn’t cut on one pass. Decent trimmer. But not one I’d recommend.

I keep my beard short and this trimmer does the job well. Very few strokes required due to its very efficient cutting ability. One negative, as noted by others, is it does not trim close under the nose. I just remove the trimmer guard and it takes care of tha small remaining area.

Good value trimmer. Good build quality. Feels comfortable when using.

absolute garbage, does not charge after a couple of chage cycles. peice of junk

Did not like it, no ear and nose trimmer. Returned it to the store and will not recommend it to anyone.

Very poor design and hard on skin. I wish I could return this.

Do not buy this product, I was hoping this would help me during self cut my hair. But it is a total failure. And bestbuy does not give enough time to even return this product. Now I'm stuck with a product that I will not be using after paying more than $50 for it.

Bought it to cut my sideburns close to the skin. Don't expect it to do this. It won't, and I didn't bother to take my receipt. Shame on me

This Norelco trimmer for beards and head is very good. I've always been happy with Norelco shaving products in the past and again now. This trimmer has a comfortable feel in my hand and with the various attachments it gives you many options for your specific look. The razor gives a nice even cut. Again , done like only Norelco can do. The use between charge times is very good as well. The build quality is excellent. I used it to trim on my head and found it comfortable to use at those angles. You can wash it out after use which is always a plus versus those that you have to clean by tapping them against your hand to remove waste. Has a nice pouch. A very solid trimmer I am sure I will get many years of good use from it.

The Norelco 5000 series works pretty good at trimming beards, but sometimes it pulls instead of cutting the hairs so you have to clean it often. It does the job and provides a clean shave so that it always a good thing. A quick charge lasted about a good hour or a little more, of shaving. You honestly don't need the whole hour because it works very well and was done in no time. It did not come with a storage bag and I'm not sure if they normally do, but just throwing that out there. The attachments were perfect for trimming your beard and your head. They attach nicely and securely and measure out well for the area of where you want to shave. I was pretty impressed. Its a good size shaver and not real big or bulky. The cord length was a very good length to give you some room if your not right by an outlet. I would recommend this to a friend for sure.

The Philips Norelco - 5000 series Trimmer is simply a solid, quality product for a reasonable price. I've been using Phillips Norelco shavers for years and have found them consistently excellent. Although the trim function found on most of their shavers has worked fine for my beard, adding the 5000 series Trimmer to my arsenal was a noticeable improvement. It's powerful, cuts clean and true, and the battery holds it's charge for a long time. I also 'buzz' my head and found that being able to do that with the attachment included with this unit was an unexpected plus. The easy-to-use adjustment wheel for varying the fine-tuned short cutting length was great. A good solid product that I full recommend.

Easy to use and holds charge for a while. Great price as well.

You get exactly what you pay for with this model trimmer from Philips Norelco. Pros: - Quality blades that cut easily and neatly. - Works on both beards and head hair. Sideburn trimming was excellent. - Long battery life, can go over a week without charging depending on use. - Guide combs are provided if you want to eliminate risk of uneven cutting jobs. Cons: None This is an excellent model to consider if you are looking for a new grooming device. It can do pretty much everything you need except for providing a close shave (which it is not meant for). Definitely check it out!
