I bought this clipper to replace an older, cheaper Braun one that wasn’t cutting very well and it has been a huge upgrade. It’s much more powerful and solidly built, and the battery is far superior. It has all the attachments you need and non of the silly extra ones that you almost certainly don’t.
I love this product, it has helped me groom myself for more than 2 years and it is very durable and of great quality. Wish the charging time was shorter and battery life a little longer.
This trimmer/razer gives a really close cut. It’s different heads/attachments are generally useful and effective. The only slight negative IMHO is that the attaching/removal of these different attachments can be slightly hit or miss and I do wonder how long the little clips holding the attachments in place will last. Battery life seems impressive – I have not charged mine at all yet and it’s still going with the factory provided charge – that’s several weeks of use.
Ordered for my partner to replace the old 3000 that his son damaged.
It’s a great little upgrade. He said it’s much quieter than the previous one and more sturdy and stronger. He’s very pleased with it.
Does exactly as advertised, only dislike would be the travel bag, very light with just string ties to close, offers as much protection as a paper bag. But have no complaints about the shaver.
Had a more expensive version of this that was all metal that I lost. This one has a more plastic construction but is otherwise the same product, works just as well for less than half the price.
So easy to use, clean, excellent shape and appearance. Appearance is modern and easy on /off. Change and change heads. Easy. Has a few accessories for different sizes of grade.
Hair trimmer does the job but the head of the trimmer is different from standards ones and I feel it limits the directions of the trim you want especially at areas such as the hairs above the upper lip or cheekbones I feel your view is limited always afraid going to trim to deep or too much
It seems to cut evenly but I need to let my beard grow out a little before I trim it back – I usually keep it to maybe 3mm or 4mm long, so pretty tight and short. And use a blade for cheek edges and neck line. However when it grows out I’ll trim it back and also do my usual weekly body hair trim. Those are the real tests.
However – so far it’s good. Quality of it feels nice, it’s easy to grip, simple to charge, simple to detach and reattach comb lengths. Not tried the nose or ear trimmer yet. It came with a soft drawstring mini-bag for it which isn’t very useful.
I bought this to replace a 20 one and i am really pleased with it.
It’s solid and relatively heavy for me makes it feel like a good piece of kit which a barber could use.
Once charged it has fantastic battery life.
blades are sharp easy to give yourself a good hair cut, cuts evenly only thing is i can’t seem to get the blades off some say the same way as you get the combs off but that don’t seem right to me no indication that it’s charged but just wait until the supplied charger goes cool, takes a long time to charge fully but once charged lasts for ages. the combs supplied are accurate glad i bought this one
I use it to cut to stubble length and it doesn’t disappoint. It’s not the best for a clean clean shave but it’s almost there and I would recommend it if you’re in need of a trimmer.
A nice note, I lost my charger, no idea where. Most of the time, if that happens with a device – you’d have to buy a new “thing” altogether. Phillips are better than that, they sell all manner of replacement goodies on there website. Which, if your a clumsy boy like me, is an absolute life saver.
If it breaks before a year (01/07/2023) I will update this. If not then take this as it having been a great long term shaver.
To start, the 7 different attachments cover almost all grooming needs. Whether you’re tidying up a thick beard, subtly trimming stubble, adjusting the hairline, or even dealing with those pesky nose and ear hairs, this kit is up for the task. Having used various grooming sets in the past, I found this one particularly adept at handling my thick beard hair, where others have simply surrendered.
The self-sharpening blades are an absolute game-changer, performing as well as they did on day one, even after months of regular use. The blade maintains its sharpness, effectively delivering clean, precise trims with little effort. A potential downside for some might be the narrowness of the clipper blade, which may require additional passes for a thorough hair cut, but this is hardly a dealbreaker considering the overall functionality.
It’s worth mentioning the 60-minute cordless run-time, which provides ample duration for detailed grooming sessions. While cordless grooming is a sheer joy, the lengthy 16-hour charge time, unfortunately, lags behind modern standards. Additionally, there’s no battery life indicator which can be a bit bothersome, as the trimmer may run out of power unexpectedly.
One element that did strike me as a missed opportunity is the lack of a USB charging option. This feature is quite standard in many devices nowadays, and it’s rather surprising to see Philips, a renowned brand, lagging behind smaller brands in this respect. A USB-C charging port would certainly have been appreciated, helping to reduce clutter, e-waste, and boost the device’s overall convenience.
However, the water-resistant feature adds significant convenience, allowing for quick and easy rinsing of the blades and combs. I even tested its claim of being usable in the shower, and it passed with flying colours. The storage pouch is also a nice touch, keeping the attachments tidy and making the kit portable and travel-friendly.
The user manual, although devoid of written instructions, does include a series of images that provide enough guidance for most users. If you encounter any issues, the Philips Consumer Care team seems readily available, and their responses to customers’ queries were prompt and helpful.
In summary, the Philips 7-in-1 All-In-One Trimmer, Series 3000 Grooming Kit is an excellent grooming tool for those seeking versatility and durability at a reasonable price. Although there’s room for improvement in terms of the charging system and blade width, the benefits it offers far outweigh these shortcomings.
Pros:
* Seven attachments for all-in-one grooming
* Self-sharpening blades provide clean, sharp lines
* 60 minutes of cordless use
* Rinseable attachments and waterproof design
* Convenient storage pouch
Cons:
* Lack of a USB charging option
* Long battery charging time of 16 hours
* No battery life indicator
* Narrow blade width for hair cutting may require additional passes
I thoguht I lost my charger and I tried to buy a replacement cable / charger for it. I was sent something which doesn’t work with it so if you lose it you may have a problem finding anything to charge it up.
That’s all. Not bad but but too good either.
Pros:
Good quality and affordable
Works better than other trimmers I’ve used
Dynamic with multiple interchangeable pieces
Cuts hair neatly, incl man scaping with NO PAIN!!
Cons:
Charging could be improved – it would be ideal to have a charging stand
Battery life could be improved, but it’s not like you’re going to be spending more than an hour working your hair.
Tidiness- you do have to keep your pieces in the open. You can’t really figure out what’s what from within the bag. But just put them in a bowl or dump them out of the bag with every use. This isn’t a huge deal really…
Again, the pros really outweigh the cons. The price is competitive with all the other trimmers out there. I was looking to get either a wahl or the braun. Picked Philips over everything else due to price and reviews. Very happy with my choice. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quick and easy tidy up before the start of each day. Cheers
I purchased another grooming set for my beard a few months ago and it was absolutely useless. The teeth in the clipper blade were too narrow to cut my thick beard hair and it ended up in the drawer gathering dust. So I was back to growing it again and I reached the point where I was fed up of it a few days ago. I decided to try another grooming set and after a fair bit of research I settled on this one. Please see the attached video for my detailed review.
The clippers are just what I was looking for. They dealt with my beard with ease. I tried cutting my hair and they will get that job done too. My only criticism is that the clipper blade is a bit narrow for hair cutting and you need way more passes to cut it properly. Not a big issue, but anyone who cuts their own hair like I do, will know the compulsion to keep going over it to make sure that you have not missed anywhere. A small blade leaves more room for error.
There are a good selection of combs 3 for your hair (9, 12, 16mm), three for your beard (1, 2, and an adjustable comb 3 to 7mm) and one body hair comb (3mm). The adjustable comb for the beard is great and I reckon it will be the one I use permanently. The blade is great on its own for detailing longer areas of your beard or hairline and there is also a much narrower blade for finer detailing work. There is a shaver attachment and I tried this, it was partially successful, but not really up to the task. I think that the foil holes are too small, on finer hair I think it would be fine. The nose and ear clipper works well. Once you are finished you just rinse the clippers under the tap to clean the attachments. The set is waterproof and there is an answered question above, in the questions section, where the manufacturer says that using it in the shower is OK.
The instructions are pretty poor and consist of several pages of images and no text, so no actual written instructions – poor show Philips. You are informed that the battery needs to be charged for 16 hours before use. Unfortunately, there is no indication of when the battery is fully charged or when it is running out of power – another poor choice. I will just charge mine for a few hours every other time I use them. There are 80 minutes usage time on a full charge. 16 hours is a ridiculously long time to charge a battery for nowadays! It has to be said though, that cordless grooming is a pure joy and far safer.
The blades do not require oiling and are self sharpening, I have no idea how they do that, but the unit comes with a 4 year guarantee, so they must be confident that they will work that long. The clippers have a nice feel to them with a soft rubber grip. They are very quiet to use and fitting/removing the attachments and combs is easy.
I like this product and am very happy to have found a grooming set that can deal with my beard for not too much outlay. After a few minutes use I was left looking considerably more handsome than I was before I started (remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder). Mind you, my wife never seemed to notice, but at least she never asked me why I had shaved my beard off, because this time I did not have to! Not itching under my chin and around my neck anymore has left a huge smile on my face. It is good to be able to sort out my beard easily again.
