Braun MGK3020 Men's Beard Trimmer for Hair / Head Trimming
  • It is easy to use and the blades cut easily without being too sharp for comfort.
  • Ultimate precision with lifetime lasting sharp blades.
  • As for the quality of the shaves, they were very smooth and I never felt the hairs being pulled and I did not experience any skin irritation.
  • The blades to have stayed very sharp, there is no drop-off in battery life, and this thing is durable!
  • I have thick, coarse, Italian hair and while the blade may be sharp for other, it proved to be mediocre for cutting my dry facial hair.

  • Safe sharp blades cut well in single pass.
  • The battery charge lasts longer than any clipper I have ever owned.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Braun MGK3020 Men's Beard Trimmer for Hair / Head Trimming
  • This Braun shaver is the perfect size and fits well in your hand.
  • I like the compact size.
  • Holds good charge and comfortable and light weight.
  • It feels light weight very quiet... Easy to hold.
  • Lightweight, easy and durable.
Philips Norelco 7100 HC7452/41 Hair Clipper
  • It has the slightly less weight than normal pro clippers but the easier, simple or better for anyone to use.
  • Easy handling because of light weight but trustfully cut as what I want.
  • It doesn't work well around Mustache and Beard due to size.
  • It is relatively large sized.
  • The material on the guard is not stiff enough to retain its shape under normal force while going over the head and resulted in a thoroughly uneven buzz.

What customers say about "Features"
Braun MGK3020 Men's Beard Trimmer for Hair / Head Trimming
  • This product only lasted 2 months. It's no longer accepting a charge and the motor has gradually gotten slower I started using it.
  • Worked for awhile and then stopped working altogether. Battery wouldn't hold its charge and then motor died out completely.
  • Pathetic little motor that simply doesn't cut.
  • I returned mine due to the poor performance of the units motor.
  • Battery wouldn't hold its charge and then motor died out completely.
Philips Norelco 7100 HC7452/41 Hair Clipper
  • The design is elegant and natural in the hand.
  • Motor sounded weaker than my Wahl professional corded clipper, but functionally it performed without any hiccups.
  • Very smooth cutting technique with a low sound motor.
  • The length adjustment thing is nice and comfortable.
  • I like how simple and easy to adjust comb settings without taking it out.
  • Slow-weak motor, even with turbo on.
  • Motor on it is very slow which affects the cutting and even using the turbo button it isn't enough for a good smooth even cut.
  • Very hard to use, not ergonomic at all.Very hard to use, not ergonomic at all.

What customers say about "Power"
Braun MGK3020 Men's Beard Trimmer for Hair / Head Trimming
  • For a rechargeable trimmer, it lasts a long time.
  • It also comes with a rechargeable battery with enough power for a 40 minute shave in a 10 hour charging time.
  • Have been using it for about 3 weeks on the first charge, and have not had to recharge.
  • Lost initial charge quickly and would never fully recharge.
  • At around two years the rechargeable batteries simply stop holding a charge before the blades become dull.
Philips Norelco 7100 HC7452/41 Hair Clipper
  • Cordless enables me to use it anywhere especially outside if I don't want hair all over the place.
  • The cordless feature is a big plus. works great and runs smooth.
  • Battery operated, rechargeable, safer than corded.
  • The battery charges fast and holds charge sufficiently for my needs.
  • Decent product, but battery takes a long time to charge.
