Norelco Philips All-in-One 3000 Series 13 in 1 Trimmer for Men Beard Trimmer Head Hair Clipper Full Metal

Great all-in-one trimmer. The Philips Norelco 3000 Series works really well and comes with everything I need for beard, hair, and basic grooming. It’s easy to use, the attachments change quickly, and the battery lasts a long time. The blades cut smoothly without pulling, which makes trimming fast and comfortable. Very good quality for the price and definitely worth it. Read more

I had been using Phillips One Blade electric razor for years, however the blades got dull very quickly and replacements are fairly expensive. With a blade that doesn't need to be replaced and for just $20, only a little more than a single One Blade replacement, I had to give this a try - especially because this product was also made by Phillips. Considering the low price point is was a little skeptical about this trimmer being any good; I was ultimately pleasantly surprised! I was very happy with the results and this has since become my default razor to shave with. First I need to mention this isn't really a razor as much as it's a trimmer. This will not leave you with a clean shave. The One Blade also didn't leave you perfectly smooth but it leaves the hair noticably shorter than this product did; for me that really wasn't an issue as I like the look of a little stubble. The result here is extremely short stubble, similar to a five o'clock shadow. Also worth mentioning at least if someone has a physical disability that interferes with shaving: this product needs to be held at a more precise angle than the One Blade (but the same would be true for any razor of this style); the power is turned on by sliding a switch, ideally with your thumb but another finger could be used if necessary. The charger needs the slightest amount of force to go into the razor itself and this may be difficult (but not impossible) if you don't have use of both hands. If you're completely unfamiliar with electric shavers there are basically two types, one that has exposed teeth that move side to side and the other type uses like a grate with a rotating blade behind it. The latter shaved closer but at the same time I find it pulls the hairs, especially when they are longer. The former category, which this shaver belongs to, sheers instead of pulls and is much more comfortable. The battery is sufficient and powerful enough to cut without any issues or slowdown for longe/thicker hair. I've used it three times out of the box without charging it so far and haven't noticed any decrease in cutting strength. It comes with various attachments for leaving hair longer, none of which I have a use for, however it did come with a fabric bag for the razor and charging cable which I found very useful. The razor gets a little bit hot after several minutes of use, but this is literally a non issue that I only mention in an effort to mention everything possible. This is my take away: it's ridiculous that Phillips is able to sell this entire razor, accessories and all for just a tiny bit more than a single replacement one blade. The quality is equal and this doesn't require expensive replaceable blades! It makes me suspect Phillips purposely makes their other product with an incredibly soft metal so that you are constantly buying new blades! While the designs of the two products aren't identical they're similar enough to reach that conclusion. tl;dr I've owned trimmers that are close to five times as expensive as this one, and for me the difference was negligible. A confident 5 star recommendation, especially considering the incredibly low price point! Read more

This is my 2nd trimmer like this and it works great. The attachments are just what I needed. Several guards for hair/beard and a nose/ear hair attachment. My only complaint is that the previous version was a push button on/off and this one is a slide switch and the operation is much more difficult than the earlier version. They should have kept it the way it was previously. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Ya know? That's the only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars. Read more

I’ve gone through my fair share of cheap trimmers that pull hair or die after three months, so I was a little skeptical about switching to another Norelco. Honestly, I should’ve just bought this one first. The first thing you notice is the weight. It doesn’t feel like a hollow plastic toy; it has some actual heft to it, which makes it way easier to control when you’re trying not to ruin your beard line on a Monday morning. The guards actually snap on securely, too, so there are no more moments where the guard slips and you accidentally give yourself a bald spot. The battery life is pretty insane. I’ve had this for about three weeks, used it four or five times, and I still haven’t had to plug it back in. It’s one of those rare devices where you actually forget where you put the charging cable because you use it so rarely. It is also completely waterproof, which is a lifesaver for cleaning. Being able to just rinse the whole thing under the sink makes maintenance take about five seconds. As for the actual shave, the blades are incredibly sharp. I have pretty thick hair, and this thing just glides through without that annoying tugging feeling. I even used the nose hair attachment—admitting that is a hit to my pride, but here we are—and it actually works without making your eyes water. If you’re looking for something that’s reliable, quiet, and won’t nick your skin every time you get close to your jawline, this is it. It’s not the cheapest one on the shelf, but you definitely get what you pay for. It is a 10/10 and I would recommend it to anyone who’s tired of trimmers that feel disposable. Read more
