No matter how much you spend on a trimmer, if the trimmer does not have these features mentioned below, then it is not worth buying.
The discussed features of the trimmer is basic but much needed.
Top 6 features in a beard trimmer
1Fastest Charging
The charging time of the trimmer is very crucial in my opinion. You should look for a trimmer that charges fast. It is best if it has a quick charge feature for instant use.
If you buy a trimmer that has to be kept on charge forever, you’ll be disappointed every time you need to trim.
A beard trimmer that takes a maximum of 2 hours or less to fully charge its battery is the best.
2Long Battery Back-up
It’s no use having the fastest charge feature in a trimmer if it only runs a few minutes after full battery charged. You should avoid buying a beard trimmer that needs to be plugged in to charge every 15 minutes.
Look for a trimmer that has a battery backup of at least 60 minutes, a trimmer with more battery backup is better.
3Blade
You should pay attention to the quality and sharpness of the blade to avoid rashes and irritation. The cheaper blade isn’t made of a strong material like stainless steel or titanium. Hence it becomes dull only after several uses and starts tugging at the skin resulting burns and rashes.
Stainless steel blade stays sharp for a long time as it does not rust. The another option is the titanium blade. It is stronger than stainless blades and is more corrosion resistant.
Some trimmers nowadays come with self-sharpening blades. It is as sharp and effective as the first day for several months.
Always choose a trimmer which blade is stainless steel or titanium or titanium coated.
4Different Lock-in length setting
Beard Trimmer reduces our time for grooming. What’s the point of having a trimmer with the extra combs to cut hair of different lengths.
Extra combs take longer to adjust with the trimmer. In addition, special care is required to organise them. If any of the combs are lost you will need to order a new one.
The multiple lock-in length setting enables you to trim hair to different lengths without all these worries.
Simply spin the wheel to lock it to the desired length. The lock-in length setting and precision in the trimmer may vary from model to model of the same brand.
Good trimmers have a lock-in length setting of 0.5 mm to 10 mm with 0.5 increments. A trimmer with a high lock-in length setting (0.5 mm to 20 mm) with a less precise (0.2) setting is the best option.
The best beard trimmers give you 20 length settings that range from zero trim to 10 mm with 0.5 mm increments.
5Wide cutter
The wide-mouth trimmer speeds up your grooming process. It is obvious that a trimmer with a wide cutter takes less time than a regular trimmer. The wide cutter trimmer trims more hair in one stroke.
The width of the cutter depends on personal preference. Some youngsters may prefer a smaller width trimmer for more convenience.
Cutter width should be anywhere between 32 mm – 42 mm.
6Warranty and Service
Perhaps the most neglected thing when buying a trimmer is to pay attention to after-sales service. Always focus on the warranty offered by the company. It should not be less than 12 months and the brand should have a good tracking record of after-sales services.
Warranty should be at least 12 month.
Conclusion:- Before finalising the beard trimmer you need to check whether it has the above mentioned features or not. Buy only after confirmation.
