Nice sleak trimmer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First impressions of the BrAun PrecisionTrimmer upon opening the box were exciting. It looks sleak and very easy to use. The blades look a lot better and more comfortable then the average precision trimmer I'm use to using. In the box I also found 2 trimming combs and a protective cap. It also came with a Duracell AAA battery. Which was a nice touch. When it came to testing this trimmer out, the blades do feel a lot better then the average precision trimmer. So looks aren't deceiving! I then attached the smaller of the trimmer combs since the part of my beard I needed trimming wasn't too long. It performed descent. It took a little while to trim both sides of my face. About average with these little trimmers. I only wished it came with a smaller comb attachment. If your into having a 5'O clock shadow, you'll be waning a smaller comb head as well. When using this trimmer with no comb attachments, it did awesome. Felt good and smoother on my skin as opposed to your average mini precision trimmer used for ears, nose and eye brows. This is where this trimmer exceeded all expectations. It feels nice where other mini trimmers seem to irritate my skin as those blades look and substandard & less professional. If you've used the cheap precision trimmers, you know what I'm talking about. I feel as the blades on this trimmer are made better and run better, I'm able to be more precise and have more control when trimming eyebrows and edging my beard. If this came with a smaller comb head attachment, I would give this precision trimmer 5 stars. This trimmer was given to me as a BuzzAgent in return for my honest review and opinion.

Great for small jobs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its a small looking trimmer with adequate power. I have used it for almost 3 weeks now and I can tell you it comes in handy. Specially when you are doing any touch ups to your beard. I was using the trimmer on my shaving machine and its not the best to handle as it comes out to the side of the machine. I can see how maybe some people would prefer a larger size trimmer to make it faster. However with the PT5010 you can take care of your beard nice and easy. I have a very thick beard and it grows very evenly. That being said I always need something with lots of power. I would rate it adequate for me but I can see how most people with a normal beard can use this a lot faster than I can turning this into a must have. Over all I'm happy with it and I don't always use my beard, some times I shave it all off but when I do this comes very handy. Also on a side note when the battery is done I would use a Lithium battery like Energizer and or a rechargeable AAA like I happen to have some already from Eneloop.
Conclusion: Great size and weight , the head is washable under water, AAA battery ( Duracell included!), 2 sizes 5mm and 8mm Combs, Great little stand. I would want more power from it but then again it would be larger so like I said before this is great if my beard would not be so thick.

Braun Trimer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This trimmer works great. Looks classy and doesn't take too much space. The only problem i would have it's the battery life, can't be too precise if I'm being rushed.

Not very useful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this Braun precision trimmer for over a week now and really don't see myself using it again. First off, a little about myself. I have a short beard and been using an old multi beard hand held trimmer for over a decade. The battery never seemed to last so I was excited to get the precision trimmer from Braun to test out for free. The unit itself is light and very easy to hold. It does trim my side burns and neck hair very well but that's about it. I like my beard short and the two attachments did not get close enough. I thought I would test the trimming power by trimming my beard into a goatee. The precision trimmer was not powerful enough to accomplish this without taking an hour an raw face. The unit is pretty loud but you probably will get use to it over time. Overall it's a good little unit for shaping facial hair but not very useful for day to day trimming.

Perfect for small precise trimming jobs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression of the trimmer was positive. It is small, light and looked like the perfect trimmer for small jobs like eyebrows and beard shape ups and trimming. I found it to be perfect for shaping the edges of my beard. I don’t think I will be using it for trimming my entire beard though because it takes longer to do with this compared to my larger beard trimmer. However, I felt it was more precise then my large trimmer and when using it to shape edges I didn’t feel as if one slip and I would ruin my beard like I do when using my larger beard trimmer. It was also perfect for getting in my beard and chopping out some of those stray individual gray hairs that are popping up. Overall a great tool that I will be adding to my grooming kit.
PROS: - included a Duracell AAA battery - small and light - nice stand if want to keep it on the counter or upright in a cabinet - awesome for trimming eyebrows or unwanted hair around neck, cheeks and ears - can clean head under running water, which was awesome - perfect for small trim up jobs and beard shaping
CONS: - no storage for the attachments, would have been great if the stand opened up to store them - this model seems best suited for detail work and small jobs like eyebrows, I would probably use a bigger trimmer to do my entire beard - you need to change the battery when the blades slow down so you won’t get the full life out of the battery - My beard hair is fine enough that it works perfect, but I could see this having issues with large course hair.
Things they could improve: - Drop the protective cap which would eliminate one accessories you need to keep track of. You can just use the small trimming comb as the blade guard. The Manufacturer could then easily build a slot for the second trimming comb into the back of the stand so you don’t have to keep everything in two different places. - A small black sack to keep it all in when traveling would be a nice bonus.
