Decent beard trimmer?

[MissChief]

Not sure if this is ok here, it's not a health matter and I'm not sure it counts as a gadget!

After my cheap beard trimmer died after a 12 hour charge, mid trim, seems to need days and days of charge and I'm not entirely trusting it to know when it's fully charged and switch off, I'm looking for a decent beard trimmer. I hate shaving with a passion so have just been trimming every few days but the one I have isn't cutting it. (Pun unintended!)

Any recommendations? Doesn't need to have attachments etc really, I just go down to the lowest anyway. One that will easily last more than one trim without slowing down and I can leave on charge safely. Not sure on budget, maybe £30? Is that too low?

Thanks.

I paid £15 when it was on offer at Xmas - it does the job.

Charge lasts a good 10/12 min.

I've got a Philips trimmer with a built in vacuum collection system. Works well as a trimmer and hugely reduces the amount of hair all over the bathroom.

I just go the barbers these days, once a month, 10 quid and its cut perfectly (got a pretty thick beard though!!)

I missed the last appointment so had to trim it myself before going away with work, used my old clippers & scissors....that went well

Looked a right !

I have a babyliss for men istubble thing and it's great.

Set it required height, whip it all off. Doesn't pull, but if I need to get a precision edge you can lift the cover and do edges and so on.

Great trimmer! got it for Xmas!

Another vote for this, and Wahl clippers in general.

I've had two of these Remington ones in a row. When my first one died I experimented with a more expensive one which was absolutely hopeless so I took it back and swapped it for another. The batteries seem to have about a three year lifespan.

I'm interested in this thread as I will need a new one soon so it'd be good to see some alternatives before I go out and buy the same again.

Has been fine for 18 months but in the future I'd like to have one with a battery indicator on - have been halfway through and run out a few times thinking I'd charged it when I hadn't

I've got the same, tried quite a few in the past but this is easly the best of the bunch. Dirt cheap too.

Not sure I'd get better without blowing £100+

I have this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Braun-cruZer-Beard-Trimmer... got it in a sale in tescos.

Very happy with it, I get the barber to do mine but if I have something important on I'll give a quick tidy with the trimmer.

This is the best trimmer i've had in years, short charging time and a decent battery life, and not too $$$

My babyliss does the job. 1.4mm one of whatever it is from Costco.
