Philips is one of the few global brands that do not leave their customers without support after purchasing equipment. The company produces a wide range of additional accessories and components that allow you to extend the life of the selected trimmer, avoiding significant new costs. For example, here you can find transport cases with a rigid body for convenient transportation of the device when traveling or traveling. Such a case does not take up much space in your luggage, easily accommodates a charger.

Among other popular accessories, there are several.

• Power Supply. If it fails or is simply lost, it is enough to purchase an original replacement from the manufacturer. This element will exactly fit a specific trimmer model, it will not create connection problems. It is used to charge the battery used when the device is not connected to the mains.
• Network adapter. You may need it as an alternative when traveling. In addition, this accessory is purchased when the old element is damaged, if it is out of order. Complete with a cord, it provides power to the device even if there is no autonomous battery in it. Sometimes a euro plug is purchased as an adapter.
• Battery. A necessary element that allows you to operate the trimmer without a network connection. With its help, the device can be used offline. On average, the battery lasts for 60-80 minutes.
• Knife. Even self-sharpening stainless steel elements will grind down and fail over time. If the cutting element is dull or damaged in any other way, it is worthwhile to replace it with a serviceable one.
• Crest. Interchangeable options allow you to trim and shape your beard using modern trimmers. As the complete parts wear out, it is recommended to replace them. In addition, sometimes such measures are used for hygienic reasons. In case of careless handling of the ridge, its retainer may fail.
• Replaceable nozzles. They allow you to expand the capabilities of the standard trimmer. Special attachments are necessary for treating the body and hair on the head. In addition, sometimes you just need to purchase a serviceable item instead of a broken one.
• Blades. The OneBlade system uses separate face and body treatments, and there are also blade and comb sets that are compatible with all trimmers in the series.

All these components ensure long-term trouble-free operation of the popular Philips trimmers.

When choosing the right trimmer for beard and mustache, ear and nose cavity care, it is recommended to pay attention to a number of important points.

• Appointment. If the purpose of the purchase is to care for the delicate areas of the ears, nose, eyebrows, it is better to opt for a compact specialized version. Multi-stylers are useful for those who want a universal device for the face, head and body. Classic beard and mustache trimmers do their job best.
• Blade type. When choosing a trimmer for long-term use, it is important to pay attention to the fact that its cutting elements are made of stainless steel. They are not afraid of corrosion, they serve for a long time. The most popular Philips trimmer models are equipped with self-sharpening blades - important as these components cannot be sharpened like clippers.
• Operating conditions. If you plan to use the trimmer on trips, business trips, travel, you should take care of choosing a model with a vacuum unit. It will eliminate the need to collect hairs after treating the beard and mustache, ensure that there is no discomfort on the skin, and protect clothes.
• The applied cleaning technology. It is optimal if the device can be cleaned with water, since such a system can be used in any conditions without restriction. In this case, it is worth paying attention to the moisture resistance of the equipment. Sometimes contact with water is allowed only for attachments, and the cutting element itself is dry cleaned.
• The dimensions of the working area. The narrower it is, the more complex, curly lines can be formed when caring for a beard. Wide head trimmers are used for the simplest operations. Narrow allows you to create complex zigzag lines, corners, and rounds.
• Equipment. For the most varied experiments with style, you should immediately choose the models in the Philips Multistyler line with the largest number of attachments. In addition, it will be useful to pay attention to the presence of replaceable combs, protective elements, covers or cases for transportation.
• Type of food. Modern trimmers support mainly self-contained power supply from the built-in battery. The presence of a power cord allows you to extend the time of continuous operation of the device. It is worth considering that such an element is rarely included in the basic equipment, sometimes it is easier to purchase it separately.
• Height adjustment. The more levels the device maintains, the better. Top Philips trimmers allow you to change the cutting height in 17-20 positions in 0.2 mm increments. More budget models achieve the same effect with interchangeable attachments.
• Additional options. For example, the new Philips trimmers feature laser correction to make it easier to position the head when trimming contours. In addition, the charge indicator will be useful - with its help, you can control the duration of the trimmer's autonomous operation.

All these parameters are important both for choosing budget models and when buying the most expensive options.

When using Philips face and body trimmers, it is very important to follow all manufacturer's recommendations. Each product of the company comes with its own instructions for use, but if it is not at hand, you should not neglect the rules either. Before the first use, the device must be charged for 2 hours - until the indicator color changes. After that, you can start shaving or model the shape of a beard, mustache.

It is important to know that all curly elements (zigzags, waves, edging) are performed directly by the working element, without attachments. It is important to remember that the blade is very sharp and safety is very important when using it. For a beard long enough, you will need special combs to maintain or create contours. Replaceable attachments in multi-stylers make it possible to use the trimmer to cut hair not only on the face or body, but also on the head, if the haircut is rather short.

The choice of device largely influences what kind of result will be obtained. For example, for a long beard, a medium-sized model with 3 length options is sufficient. Maintain short to medium stubble with a high power trimmer with fewer attachments. To get a goatee or other complex beard shapes, you will have to purchase an option with a lot of components.

It is important to remember that separate cases or containers must be used to store accessories and the trimmer itself. Lubricate the device only if recommended by the manufacturer's instructions.

The work is done as follows:

• the knife is mechanically cleaned from hairs and other contaminants;
• a drop of lubricant is placed on the cutting element;
• the oil is rubbed, its excess is removed with a soft cloth;
• the trimmer turns on, remains working for about 20 seconds;
• the blades are wiped, cleaned of oil residues.

The hairs are shaved off from the longest ones, then the shorter ones are removed. For processing along the length, the middle version No. 3 is used. It is necessary to guide the blade against the growth of the hair, from the bottom up. The flat part should be close to the face.After processing all areas under one level, you can proceed to changing nozzles or creating curly elements.

According to buyers, the Philips trimmer is a good example of a technique that lasts a long time. The OneBlade models deserve the highest praise, outwardly similar to a regular razor. They receive positive reviews for their compactness, the possibility of dry and wet processing, and the presence of separate body attachments. The only thing that does not suit the owners too much is the high cost of consumables.

On the positive side of Philips trimmers, users refer to the ease of adjusting parameters. The most popular models allow you to easily change the cutting length from 0.4 to 7 mm. In addition, they are compact in size.

The special nose trimmer also received positive ratings. This model does not pull out, but cuts hairs, it works completely painless and comfortable. It is often cited as the best gift choice for mature men.

There are also disadvantages. Buyers complain about the stiffness of the buttons, not very effective body attachments, easily clogged with thick hair. Dissatisfaction is also expressed regarding the duration of the charge retention. The trimmer does not always provide the same long battery life as the manufacturer promises.
