Philips All-in-One Trimmer Series 7000

When I bought this trimmer, I had already purchased a few prior to it but never happy with what I purchased. This MG7950/15 model I bought is better than all the others I tried, but still not good enough to match my previous trimmer that broke down after about 15 years of heavy use. I used to have a Wahl and the battery still remains strong today… Read more

but the power button disintegrated so I needed to replace the unit. This Philips model comes well packed. There are plenty of accessories but I do not use any of them. The unit is light to hold. It charges quickly but you do have to supply your own USB power supply. Not an issue as I have plenty laying around. In use, the trimmer is quiet and easy to hold. It is comfortable without weight. I do not like the placement of the power button. It is on the underside so I often accidentally switch it off with my hand palm or base of my fingers while using it. I do not use any accessories or other sized combs. I only use the bare trimmer for the closest trim possible. The blades are sharp and I don't have to go over the same area as much as I did with a few previous trimmers I tried. There are no nicks of the skin on large area but in private regions, it can nick quite easy and draw a little blood. I have never come across a trimmer that doesn't nick in those regions. The battery charges quick and lasts a long time. To do a full body trim of every skin part from head to toe, the trimmer may have had about 60-70% left so I could probably do 3 sessions on each charge I would presume. The battery indicator on the underside is a bit of a let down. It is only one LED that changes colour. I would like a multi LED to give a better indication of where the battery level is (in 25% increments as other trimmers have) or a digital display would be better. I decided to keep this trimmer as it trimmed closer to the skin than many others did and I didn't have to go over the same area multiple times. The trimmer does not trim as close as the old Wahl does so on my face, I still use the Wahl which is still useable (I just have to use a pen to reach the power button that is under the disintegrated sheath that covered it). If I were to replace this, I can not afford a Wahl which would be my first choice. I would get another Philips if my undesirables listed were addressed.
