Philips OneBlade Review |
Product Specs |
PricingThe prices of the electric razors we tested for our Philips OneBlade review ranged from $35 to $70. The more expensive electric razors featured expensive foil heads. Some trimmers we examined had length combs to provide users with precise cutting lengths. All the trimmers came with charging cables, and some manufacturers offer charging and cleaning cradles as an additional purchase.

Philips Oneblade
Philips Norelco OneBlade Hybrid Electric Trimmer and Shaver,...
Ease of Use Our Philips OneBlade review found the device to be very lightweight, nimble, and effective at trimming facial hair. The trimmer can be safely drawn across the face in any direction and the protection guards prevent cuts and nicks. Note that this blade rides slightly above the skin and does not provide a close shave. The trimmer is very comfortable and prevents irritation by not cutting at skin level. Setup Time Our Philips OneBlade review found that the 45 minute run time on a full charge was sufficient for all of our needs with this device. Replacing the cutting head is easy and efficient and ensures you always have a very sharp trimmer. The combs snap on efficiently, and the unit is easy to charge. Everything about this device is quick and effective. Design Quality The body is structurally strong and will hold up to a few shoulder height drops without nicking or cracking the surface. The blade has a pivoting head that conforms to the contours of your face. The cutting edge is elevated above your skin to prevent cuts and abrasions. This trimmer provides a perfect prep for passing over your face with a razor for a clean, close shave. The ribbed handle provides a secure, no-slip surface. Warranty The Philips OneBlade comes with a full two-year warranty.

The Wahl Stainless Steel Lithium Ion+ beard trimmer features an attractive stainless steel body and a rigid cutting head. The blades are self sharpening, long lasting, and provide quiet operation. The battery provides 4 hours of run time and a zippered storage case is included with the purchase price.

The item measures 1.25 by 1.38 by 6.25 inches and weights 0.8 pounds.
Ease of Use Our The Wahl is not waterproof so you have to use the brush to keep the unit clean. The user must also periodically oil the blades to ensure smooth operation. The stainless steel handle can feel slippery. Setup Time Our The Wahl offers a variety of cutting heads. These heads allow you to do very detailed trimming, but changing the heads also lengthens your operation time. The Wahl is convenient to recharge. There is a nice quick charge feature that allows you to get 3 minutes of trimming from a 1 minute charge. Design Quality The Wahl looks nice and the stainless steel body is attractive and durable. However, this trimmer could be improved with a non-slip grip. Also, we would prefer a waterproof trimmer for easier use and device maintenance.
