Philips Norelco Beard Trimmer 9000, BT9810/40

Best beard trimmer on the market. Charge last a very long time. Feels like I only charge it every couple to few months and I use it every day. Really well made. Runs smooth and no signs of slowing down, well after a year of almost daily use. Lots of options for length (.2 through 3 blade, even without guards). Great sophisticated and sleek look. Cuts well, I shave my beard, outer ear, eye brows and body hair. One of the best and most reliable products I own in any category

Really great trimmer. It makes me want to trim my beard because of how easy and powerful it is. It feels great in the hand and the metal clipper gives a very even trim. So much better than plastic guards which I always feel never cuts perfectly even. There is only one downside. The lowerest it can cut is 0.4mm. So if you want to do some shaping, it doesn’t get rid of all of the hair unfortunately. But if you have a razor, can use the in addition to the trimmer for shaping. I like to shape my mustash ends so it doesn’t look like a handlebar. With my old trimmer, I could do this easily by removing the guard. But with this trimmer, you can’t remove the guard, so it’s a bit inconvenient. But have a razor on hand and it can solve it. Still I would like if it could go down to 0. Bit of a bummer but overall, it’s still the best trimmer I’ve ever used. So I’m happy with it

This is a great beard trimmer, solid and well built. The thing I really like is the fact it doesn't need any additional combs/guards up to 1cm, it's all built into the sturdy metal head. There is a dial on the trimmer that enables you to set the trimming length required, this is a god send for me as I travel a lot and am forever losing the guards for my OneBlade. Downside 1 - it's a sturdy unit with a lot of metal so is therefore a lot heavier than something like the OneBlade. It's also quite big but even given it's size it works very well and allows pretty efficient smooth trimming. It's best gripped by the rubberised part at the top of the unit for the best results. Downside 2 - it uses a special proprietary connector which is not USB. It comes with a 120V charger so not much use when travelling outside of countries that don't have 120V. You can get a USB C to special connector adapter from Yinke which seems to work well so far but means another thing to lose when travelling. Downside 3 - to do precision lines and edges you'll still need something like a OneBlade. I've given this a 4/5 rather than a 5 due to the downsides but overall a great product all the same.

I have bought less than $50 Wahl trimmers for years. I decided to give this 9000 Series Norelco/Phillips Trimmer a try at twice the price point. All the reviews of this model, except a few, gave it rave reviews. After it arrived I could tell this was a well built trimmer with more steel than plastic. The trim guide was a little getting used to, it took about two minutes, and the best, cleanest trim I have had in years. The cutting height dial lets you set the precise cutting height for your particular needs-this is a game winner!!! It is extremely sturdy, well balanced and DOES NOT PULL ANY HAIRS on my 63 year old beard! Yes, I had one at birth. In fact, it takes less time with this trimmer, due to the overall quality and sharpness of the blades, than all the trimmers I have purchased in the past. If you are looking for a beard trimmer this is THE one. It is money well spent. "You get what you pay for"!!!

The Philips Norelco 9000 is perhaps the best consumer electronics device I've ever owned. I bought this in 2022 to replace the trusty Philips Norelco BeardTrimmer 7300 that I had purchased way back in 2012. Now, three years later, I am moved to write this review to extol the virtues of this wonder. The battery life is astonishing. I use it regularly to trim my full beard and other facial hair, and I honestly think I've only ever had to recharge the battery a handful of times, maybe once a year? It has never nicked my skin. Although the trimming head is wide enough for heavy duty chores, it is surprisingly precise. It is very handy and travels extremely well. The adjustment for trimming hair length is stays set in place unless you decide to easily change it. Maybe in 2032 I'll be ready for my next Philips Norelco trimmer, but until then I am delighted that I have this.

Let me tell you, folks, shaving the beans has never been this entertaining! I recently took the Philips Norelco Series 9000 for a spin down south, and let me just say, my family jewels have never felt more pampered. This shaver is like the superhero of grooming tools, delicately navigating the treacherous terrain of my nether regions. It's got more precision than a surgeon with a laser scalpel – not that I'd let a surgeon near my boys, but you get the point. The ergonomic design had me feeling like a shaving maestro, conducting a symphony of smoothness. It's so good; I almost wanted to set up a tiny stage and charge admission for the performance. Now, let's talk about the "no nicks and cuts" claim. I was skeptical, to be honest, but this bad boy delivered. It's like a ninja with a PhD in ball shaving – precise, gentle, and deadly effective. In conclusion, if you want your downstairs to be as smooth as James Bond in a tuxedo, the Philips Norelco Series 9000 is your secret weapon. Cheers, no tears to smooth sailing and a happy pair down there!

Very glad I bought this. Feels solid and well made, unlike the cheap plastic trimmer I first bought. 5-year warranty. Perfect for the stubble look because you can spin the dial to set hair length from 0.4 to 5.0 mm without an adapter. For a full beard, go up to 10.0 mm with the plastic adapter included. Without adapter: 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0. With adapter: 5.4, 5.6, 5.8, 6.0, 6.2, 6.4, 6.6, 6.8, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10. Charge lasts a very long time, and three lights show you the current charge level. Comes with zippered travel case, cleaning brush, mineral oil for blades. To lock for travel, hold power button 3 seconds. Cannot be used in the shower, but OK to rinse with water. To find the manual, search for Norelco bt9810 pdf

I hate giving negative reviews, but...here we go. THE PREVIOUS PHILIPS' TRIMMER DIDN'T WORK: About a month ago I purchased the Norelco Multigroomer 5000, which came already charged to capacity. This was a great product until the charge dissipated about one month later. When I tried to charge it back up, the light indicator didn't come on and I figured I'd just check in on it the next day. Still nothing. Perhaps the problem had to do with the outlet. I plugged it into another socket, left it, and again, the trimmer wouldn't turn on. I began testing other products to see if it was a matter with the outlet and found my roommates' trimmer charged just fine. Thinking the issue had to be with the cord—because after all, upon arrival, the trimmer worked just fine—I purchased a second charging cable, which also didn't work. I jiggled the cord, made sure it was pushed in firmly, again, tested other outlets. Nothing worked and because I purchased and used the unit for about one month with no problems, the time to return it had passed. THE NORELCO 9000: Defeated yet trying to be optimistic, I decided perhaps I should go with the Cadillac of Philips' line, to really ensure I get a product which works. The first bad sign to me was seeing that a few of the recent reviews noted their product had hair already in their unit upon arrival. Firstly, that's absolutely disgusting, but you'd think Philips would really invest in some quality control with such complaints. So I purchased the unit thinking this particular matter would have been resolved. When my unit arrived, I felt immediate relief as no other human's hair could be found on or in the unit. I tried turning it on and the battery light indicator showed it was next to dead. No problem. I read the instructions and saw it needed to charge for a solid 2 hours, so I plugged it in, and came back after that time period. Upon picking up the unit, I was shocked to find the handle was hot to the touch! The charger was also fairly warm. After unplugging the unit, I tried to turn it on and the same low battery light came on. It was still completely dead. I am a manufacturing engineer and know somewhat about quality control and what can happen to a lithium ion battery if it gets too hot. The short story is that in extreme cases, it can catch on fire. CONCLUSION: These problems are absolutely ridiculous and unfortunately for me, consistent. Perhaps I'm a 'one in a million case', but I don't think that's very likely. The fact that other's have found human hair already in their unit can't help but make me wonder, how many of these units being sold as new, were already used and returned. Is this why my two purchased trimmers didn't work—they were defective products, sent back and sold as new? To sell a already used unit as new is a horrible and shady business practice. This is coming from a person who often buys refurbished products with no problem whatsoever. I'm honestly shocked to see all of the rest of the positive reviews regarding these products and wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy. Go with any other brand but Philips and sleep peacefully at night.

Got late ...product was good

My trusty Wahl of the last 10+ years finally bit the dust. I had traditionally used cheaper Wahls or other trimmers you'd find on clearance at Winners, TJ Maxx, etc. As a bald man my beard is my hair of choice and I have been trimming my beard for 20+ years at this point. I did a bunch of research and this one was highly lauded as being the most precise trimmer. I gotta say this thing met all of my lofty expectations and surpassed them. The 0.2mm adjustment will be excellent for doing a taper/fade from bald to full beard. I still have to get used to the precision this device offers and have only used it once so far. But my god that first experience was earth shattering and showed me why it's worth the price of admission. Super high quality feel, easy to maneuver, and as advertised extremely precise. A single pass gets the hairs to the same consistent length like I've never experienced. Usually I would have to do a few passes, and then go guardless to get any stray long hairs sticking out. This trimmer passes the "hand test" where I rub my hand on the side of my face/beard and can feel every follicle touching my hand at the same length. It's truly wild how powerful, and premium this device is. After getting this device it's hard to believe that I hadn't upgraded sooner, especially with how often I trim my beard and maintain it. For any of you guys out there questioning if this is worth the investment over our traditional cheaper trimmers, I cannot speak high enough praise about this product. And makes me question and regret taking this long to get a device of this quality. The precision dial is easy to use, and doesn't slip like traditional adjustable plastic guards. Do yourself a favour, and step up your trimmer game and treat yourself to this device. If you shave/trim your beard regularly you'll immediately be able to tell the quality and precision of this device is second to none. I'm still shocked I spent this much on a trimmer, but have absolutely zero regrets and look forward to mastering it over the coming months/years and enjoying it for the forseeable future!

The best!

It doesn't get better than this, let's just try to leave it at that. But seriously, there's no messing around with guards, no attaching anything, no weird gadgets, it just... maintains my stubble at a perfect three-day length. The battery lasts ages, charges quickly, and you can use the shaver while it's charging. It comes in a nice sleeve, of sorts, as pictured. And to address another reviewer - of course this only comes with a US charger, it is being sent from the US. Just check where it is being sent from before giving it 1/5 stars. It's more or less impossible to miss that detail, given that the postage is usually weeks away, and given that it explicitly says on the product's page, i.e. here, that it is coming from the US and it says that again throughout the tracking (of course). I've been using it for a long time with an adapter, with zero issues at all. To get it locally in Australia, that will set you back over $300 usually, so I think... to get this for $150 or however much, it's insanely good value, and it is so easy to either use an adapter (US to Australia of course) or to just buy a new cable, if you really don't want to use an adapter. It's not a big deal, and as I said, it saves you so much money. Shipping from the US was fast, great service from Amazon, as usual 🙂 Truly, I can't recommend this highly enough. I spent so much money over the years, going from one trimmer to the next. I've had my current version of this shaver since 2022, but have recently re-ordered one, so that I have a spare. That's how much I love it! It just makes shaving a much nicer experience, and I've had plenty of comments saying that my stubble "always looks nice, neat, and at the right length". Winning!
