A multi-groomer for men can replace several appliances: a beard trimmer, body groomer, face trimmer, head trimmer and sometimes a nose and ear hair trimmer. That sounds convenient, but not every all-in-one trimmer is suitable for every use. A model with lots of attachments, for example, may be less convenient for everyday use, while a compact electric trimmer may not offer enough length settings for head hair.
So don’t just look at the number of functions listed on the packaging. Focus on the attachments you’ll actually need.
Marketing copy may describe a trimmer as 10-in-1 or say it comes with 17 pieces, even though some accessories are intended for detailing, shaping or different lengths. So check which heads are included in the box:
Also look out for differences between the product description and the technical specifications. The Philips QP6552/15 is described as having 8 attachments, while the specifications list 5 different attachments. Check the current box contents before ordering.
A waterproof trimmer may be suitable for wet use and easy to rinse clean. That doesn’t automatically mean you can use it near water while it’s charging. The Philips OneBlade QP6552/15, for example, is listed as suitable for wet use only when cordless. The charger and USB connection must stay dry.
So check the difference between:
Always follow the instructions for your specific model.
A cordless trimmer with 120 minutes of use sounds appealing, but check the charging time and type of connection too. For regular use, a shorter charging time is often more practical than a long theoretical run time. A USB-C model can be handy when travelling, while an appliance that can also be used while charging is useful if the battery runs flat.
For short stubble, a setting starting at around 0.4 or 0.5 mm is useful. For a longer beard or head hair, you’ll need a wider range. According to the product details, the Philips Multigroom 7000 MG7941/15 offers 22 settings from 0.5 to 16 mm, in increments of up to 0.2 mm. The Braun MG Styler MGK7540 has 14 beard length settings, from 3 to 21 mm.
An adjustable comb is quick to use, but separate comb attachments can be easier to keep track of. Choose a system that clearly shows the length on the comb or adjustment ring. This reduces the chance of trimming your hair too short by mistake.
Look out for these three things:
Several models have a lithium-ion battery, often paired with a longer run time. Always check the full product specifications rather than relying on the battery description alone.
A rinseable trimmer head makes cleaning quicker. Hygiene is especially important with face and body groomers: remove hairs after every use and dry the parts before storing them or connecting them to the charger again.
Stainless steel or metal blades are often mentioned in the specifications. This tells you something about the material, but it doesn’t automatically mean the trimmer will work equally well for every type of beard growth. The shape of the head, the comb you choose and the way you move the trimmer all play a part too.

The product information states that it’s suitable for wet and dry use, has a washable trimmer head and can be used while charging. Do check the exact attachments included in the current packaging.

Start by deciding what you’ll use it for most:
A complete set with a case, brush and several heads can make a handy gift. If you only maintain a short beard, you may end up paying for accessories that sit unused in a drawer.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
It can, as long as the manufacturer lists both uses and the correct heads or protective combs are included. Don’t automatically use a nose and ear hair trimmer on other parts of the body. Check the instructions and keep the attachments clean.
Its lifespan depends on how often you use it, how you clean and store it, and the condition of the battery. Clean the head after use, let wet parts dry thoroughly and charge the trimmer according to the instructions. A statutory warranty period doesn’t tell you exactly how long the battery will last, but it does give you consumer rights if the product isn’t as it should be.
After buying the trimmer, the direct costs are usually limited to electricity and any replacement blades or attachments. A model with a long run time per charge may need charging less often. Check the price and availability of replacement parts before making your choice.
