Buying guide for beard trimmers

In the market there are hundreds of different models that target beard trimming, where you can choose everything from shavers to hair clippers with trimmer function. Why you should choose a pure beard trimmer is because beards are much stronger than ordinary hairs. Although there are hair clippers that cut the beard well, they do not have the same capacity as a beard trimmer.

A beard trimmer is the perfect tool for giving a polished look or a well-groomed stubble, which is both comfortable and time-efficient. Other advantages are that you avoid red rashes that razors can otherwise give and that you can adjust the length at will. Some models also come with precision trim and contour combs, which adjust edges and lines with incredible accuracy. Below you will find all the necessary information you should know before your purchase. Further down the page you will find our beard trimmer test, where we present the market's ten best models.

To think about before your purchase
We have put down a list of ten different models, which we at testarna.se consider to be the best in the market. We vary different models, functions and price ranges, so that you can easily find beard trimmers that suit your particular needs. If you are not looking for a machine that is packed with functions, a cheaper and simpler variant can suit you better.

However, where you should pay attention to is that the life span and sustainability are quite large between a cheap beard trimmer from a more expensive alternative. Since a beard trimmer is for daily use, it is worth spending a few extra crowns on a machine that will last a few years to come. The price can vary from 200 up to 2000 SEK, however, beard trimmers between 500-1000 kronor usually give an effective trim and have a long shelf life. Always check the warranty period, as it provides a good overview of the model's performance and quality.
features
Whether you are looking for a simpler or more advanced model, there are some features that determine whether or not it is a good beard trimmer.

To ensure a really precise shave, it may be a good idea to bet on a beard trimmer with a movable cutting head. This means that the beard trimmer is better adapted to the face design and can catch more hairs in each stroke. The more it can bend, the less effort for you.

Most models today are battery powered, which makes it extra important to review the beard trimmer's battery life. We recommend a battery capacity of at least one hour, so you do not need to charge the machine after each use. This is especially useful early mornings when you stress away to work, as it can be easy to forget about small details like these. Another option is to invest in a shaver that can be used both with and without cord. This means that you always have a back up when the battery is exhausted.

Please choose a model that is water resistant, as you will need to clean it after each use. Water resistant models can withstand less water, which can usually be rinsed under water for a short while. If you want to be able to wet or use it in the shower, we recommend that you invest in a waterproof model. Always be careful with the specifications in advance, so you won't come home with the wrong model.

The length adjustment is also an important function, as it provides greater flexibility and a better result. Most models can be adjusted from 0.5 to 5 mm, which is good enough according to us at testarna.se. If the beard trimmer does not have such a function, you should instead make sure that it has accompanying trimmer combs in different lengths.

In order to get rid of the bathroom, it may be worth investing in a beard trimmer with suction function and beard container. In this way, all the cut beard ends up in the practical container, which you then empty and wash out after use.

We also recommend that you choose a beard trimmer with different speed modes. This is not a necessary function, but facilitates, for example, the need to straighten sensitive areas. Some models also come with a practical turbo function, which is perfect when you are short of time and want to get the job done quickly and easily.
