Nowadays, it is no longer a privilege for men to groom themselves. It is no longer only models and the affluent who buy beauty products. Whether it is a face wash, conditioner, face cream, beard oil, we all more or less use them. And if some of you don't, you are missing out. Very significant and commonly used among these is the Trimmer.

Whether it be a hasty even-ing out of your neglected stubble before a party, or a careful personal session of me-time in the shower on a holiday, a trimmer is a man's best friend along with the face wash. As a matter of fact, we have reviewed the Best Men's Trimmers on our website as well. And here, we bring you the Philips QT4011/15 Review, one of the best Trimmers to get in India today.

Who Needs This Trimmer?

It should be mentioned right off the bat that this Trimmer is quite expensive when compared to others. However, that is only because it is arguably the best one out there for men out there! As the Amazon description for this product boasts, this Trimmer can outlast an ordinary one by four times. It is very friendly to your skin, preventing any irritation with its well-rounded tips and gentle combs. These finer details will be elaborated below, but for now, just know that this product caters to people who want nothing but the best results from the most updated technology available.

Why Do We Recommend Philips QT4011 15?

Why do we recommend this product? For no end of reasons! First, its pin-point precision is off the charts: its 27 lock-in length settings provide 0.5 – 10mm with 0.5mm accuracy. It boasts “Fast Charge” capacity on its Amazon profile, being able to last up to 90 minutes cordless after being charged for only one hour. Yes, it works both corded and cordless, so you don't have to always worry about plugging it in for each use.

The product boasts long-lasting performance, not just per use, but also in the long haul. In fact, it gives a 2 plus 1-year warranty upon registration. Worried about it losing its sharpness over these two to three years? Worry not with this Trimmer, as its self-sharpening titanium coated blades always retain their edge!

As for the usage mechanism itself, the product contains a zoom wheel which gives twenty — yes, twenty — different length settings. In other words, you can opt for a zero trim look, or simply smoothen that stubble, or do anything in between! The product is skin-friendly as well with its rounded blade tips and combs, preventing skin irritation.

The Trimmer is quite easy to clean. We have found it quite easy to detach the head of the Trimmer. The next step is just to rinse it under a tap and you are all done — good as new. Let the head dry up before you re-attach it back on the Trimmer.

Besides the sharpness and effectiveness of the Trimmer, it has some supplementary quirks as well. An example is the fancy battery light system, indicating when the electrical appliance is fully charged (green), is low in battery (orange), and during charging (blinking green).

Another neat feature we observed is the ergonomic design of the Trimmer: it is designed for not only efficient usage but also for ease of holding — not to mention its ability to reach hard-to-reach regions on the face.

What's Included In The Box?

The Trimmer can be bought on its own and also complementary with other similar products. On its own, the Trimmer comes with a travel and storage pouch. This protective cover means that you can just put the Trimmer inside and put it in your travel bag, without worrying about it colliding and damaging (or being damaged by other) products (such as a calculator or a charger or a container box).

Moreover, Amazon lists four combo offers including a Multi Grooming Set and a Ladyshave. Thus, you may want to not only take care of buying beard Trimmers but also get a whole set for trimming the hair of other body parts as well. And, of course, all these will come at a discount if bought together!

What Features Make Philips QT4011/15 A Good Trimmer?

Now that we have reviewed one of the best Philips trimmers in India, let us enlighten you with the features that influenced our decision. In other words, these are some of the attributes you should look out for before buying a Trimmer, and a good one at that.

Sharpness

We all know this. If a blade loses its sharpness, it is time to get a new one. And that is why razors come with detachable blades. For a beard Trimmer, something which is more permanent and costly than a shaving razor, sharpness is even more important.

The product we have reviewed contain self-sharpening blades coated with titanium. Such premier quality products will last for years. In fact, as mentioned, the QT4011/15 gives a warranty of up to 3 years. And you can bet on its sharpness for the entire three years, and possibly even more!

Battery

Many Trimmers can be used cordless besides being plugged in. However, they have a very limited battery life in which they can function without a power source. For the purposes of a Trimmer, though, it is very likely that one trimming session will not be long enough to drain the battery life completely. Thus, it is not essential that the Trimmer has to have a very large battery power to be a good Trimmer.

That being said, it does not hurt to have a Trimmer which has long battery life. The Philips QT4011 15 boasts one of the longest battery lives in existence. It can last upwards to 90 minutes after only being charged an hour. To compare, other top Trimmers offer 30-60 minutes of battery life.

Price

Of course, your budget will dictate the quality of the Trimmer you can buy. Truth be told, the QT4011 15 is a high-end Trimmer, and there are many other good Trimmers for men out there with lower price range. However, if you want the best of the best, then this will be your choice.

Speaking unbiasedly (as we have reviewed other Trimmers as well), we think that you should buy the best Trimmer available. Firstly, the price is not that high when compared to others. It is reasonable indeed. Secondly, if one good Trimmer can last you two to three years, isn't it just better to buy it though spending a few hundred rupees more, rather than buying an inferior one and then having to replace it soon?
