[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the beard trimmer for a few weeks now to achieve a short stubble look and I'm very impressed with how precisely and evenly it cuts. You get an even trim in one stroke, regardless of how short or long the hairs are. It has forty different trimming length settings to suit every beard length. I particularly like that the increments for shorter lengths are only 0.2mm, which makes maintaining the short stubble look very easy. Another impressive feature is the long battery life. It charges really quickly and I can get five or more uses on one charge. It's also really easy to clean - only needs a quick rinse under the tap.

I bought this to replace the QT4022 after the battery died. The QT4022 was far better for producing an even shave. The comb on this model fails to lift the hairs for cutting, and so anything below 3.5 or 4 leaves long hairs depending on their orientation, for example along my jaw line. I have persevered with this for months, but come to the conclusion there is no way I can use it to produce an even shave. I think it is probably due to the curl in my beard hairs, so maybe if you have straighter whiskers this will work.

After writing an unfavourable review of the Philips QT4015 trimmer (which I returned to my retailer for a full refund) I decided to purchase the Philips BT5205 trimmer. The selling point for me was the 0.4mm trim in the specifications. I used this trimmer with trepidation and was half expecting a poor performance as with the QT4015 model. The two models are polar opposites and I was really pleased with the performance of the BT5205 model. It glided over my face and provided a smooth even trim first time over. This trimmer easily maintains my stubble and is an absolute joy to use. It only takes an hour to fully charge, and can be used both cord and cordless. This trimmer is also completely water proof. Philips have redeemed themselves with the BT5205 model and I highly recommend it.

Good trimmer, long battery life and also used to cut hair. Difficult to trim top of moustache, near the bottom of nose because of the size. I like the self-sharpening metal blades. However, I would like the option to purchase a replacement. Finally, there's some confusion about whether or not you can clean the trimmer using water so I've attached a photo from customer service clarifying this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had a full beard for over 15 years and in that time have used many beard trimmers - this is, without a doubt, the best I have ever used. The beard trimmer comes with 2 combs and adjusts to cover a trimming range of 0.4mm to 20mm, the adjustment wheel has a nice smooth operation and locks into each setting securely. Before using the trimmer I had let my beard grow for 3-months so it was quite full and long, I selected the 10.4mm cut and was expecting a struggle. However the beard trimmer sailed through cutting cleanly with no snagging and without missing hairs as my previous trimmers have, I ended up spending less than half the time I had anticipated trimming my beard as it was so efficient. After several uses the only, slight, negative I can express about this beard trimmer is that the handle is quite plasticy and i would have preferred a rubberised grip. That's not to imply it's difficult to hold, just a preference on m
