[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It doesn’t have guards that are short enough to fade hair properly .
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Our Philips trimmer includes two fading hair guards that range in size from 5/32 in. to 3/8 in. (4 mm to 9 mm) which is designed to create the perfect fade cut. To trim the hair around the ear, attach one fading hair protector to the extra wide hair trimmer. Depending on your preferred trimming direction, place the trimmer at the back or front of your ear; just make sure the side of the guard with the short teeth is closest to your ear. While keeping it steady, move the trimmer slowly around the ear. To ensure that all the hair that needs to be trimmed has been faded, perform the motion around one ear multiple times. Then attach the other fading hair guard to trim the hair around the other ear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love everything Philips puts out and this trimmer is no different. The battery lasts a good time, the razors are precise, and I don’t leave the bathroom with razor burn or missed hairs. This all-in-one trimmer gets every unwanted hair off my body with ease.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased this amazing little gadget and I have to say, I'm blown away by how much it has improved my grooming routine. It has multiple attachments for trimming my hair, beard, and even my nose and ear hairs. I was a little hesitant at first because I've had bad experiences with multi-purpose trimmers in the past, but this one definitely delivers.
One thing I particularly love is the precision it offers. I can easily adjust the length of the trim and it cuts cleanly without pulling or tugging. The battery life is also impressive, lasting a solid week with regular use.
As for the things I don't love as much, the only downside is that it can be a bit loud when in use. But honestly, it's a small price to pay for such an efficient and convenient tool. Overall, I'm extremely happy with my purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an all-in-one solution for their grooming needs.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great trimmer for people with short or long hair. Love all the attachments to make it easier to get rid of unwanted hair in noise and ear. The charge is good for a long time. I have not charged it but once in a month.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Philips - All-in-One Trimmer MG5900/49 Series 5000 and I really like it. It has all the right attachments for everything you need to trim. The Philips - All-in-One Trimmer MG5900/49 Series 5000 charges fast. It also holds a charge for quite a long time.
