Braun BT5070 Beard Trimmer vs Philips Norelco Beard Trimmer Series 7200

The blades of the BT5070 are made of durable stainless steel and come with ultra-sharp edges for excellent trimming precision. The trimmer also comes with two detachable trimming combs: the precision comb (1-10 mm) is useful for putting the finishing touches to your trim, while the long-beard comb (10-20 mm) gives you more range to maintain a longer beard. The BT5070 is likewise equipped with a small 1 cm trimmer that slides out of the top of the unit and is ideal for trimming those hard-to-reach places such as around your nose and mouth.

The battery of this trimmer can be used for 50 minutes straight before needing to be re-charged. It can also be used with a power cord, so you can plug it in directly to your power outlet and trim indefinitely, depending on your preferred method of trimming. In any case, it only takes one hour to charge.

The BT5070 has 25 different length settings. So, whether you want to trim your full beard or simply sculpt your stubble, this trimmer has you covered.

This trimmer can be used to shape, sculpt, and maintain all different types of facial hair, including (but not limited to) full beards, goatees, and stubble.

The BT5070 comes with a cleaning brush, blade oil, and a pouch.

The 7200 employs a lift and trim technology whereby it raises and guides the hair for a more efficient and precise cut. And because it can guide more hair, it’s the perfect solution for those who have very thick or bushy hair. Increased precision, then, comes from its blades which are double-sharpened and thus cut more hairs with every pass, resultantly making for faster trimming. Finally, when you need to access those harder-to-reach areas after your trim, you can click on one of the 3 mm or 5 mm precision combs on the trimmer.

The 7200 comes with an integrated vacuum system that comprises a high-velocity motor and fan system whose powerful suction lifts and captures up to 90% of stray hairs. Cleaning the trimmer itself, then, involves simply rinsing the blades under water and emptying the chamber. The 7200 comes with a cleaning brush that enables you to remove any remaining loose hairs.

Adjusting the 7200 to your preferred length is made easy thanks to 20 built-in length settings. Simply turn the zoom wheel to choose the length you require, of which you can choose between 0.5-10 mm.

The comb attachment that comes with this trimmer has rounded tips that capture and trim hair without irritating your skin.

This trimmer comes with a lithium-ion battery that's designed to provide 80 minutes of cordless use before it needs to be charged. Then, you’ll only need to charge it for one hour to regain the full 80 minutes. You can still use the 7200 while it’s charging and it includes a battery indicator to let you know when it’s charged, charging, or needs to be plugged in.

Not only does cleaning the 7200 save the user time, but further convenience comes from its self-sharpening blades that eliminate the hassle and expense of blade changes.
