Part 2: A Guide to Choose Your Hair Trimmer

Battery life can vary greatly by brand and range: it can be up to 40 minutes for entry-level devices and can go up to more than two hours for the most powerful batteries. As for the charge time, it varies from one hour to sixteen hours! The least expensive mowers often have a very long charging time: to reduce prices, manufacturers choose to skip the battery capacity. But the mower itself, in its cutting performance, remains quality.

Good battery life (over an hour) with average charge time (one hour) is the best configuration.

Hoofs and counter-combs

The cutting parts of the electric hair clipper are mounted on interchangeable shoes. It is the height of the hoof that will play on the cutting height more or less short.

Your mower is delivered with counter-combs that serve to intervene on the amount of hair cut in a single pass. This is useful when you want to thin out without cutting everything, or for slender cuts.

Optional functions

More and more lawnmowers are using high technology to provide options for ease of use. With professional mowers, advanced features provide high-precision results.

But it is the technological level of your mower that will determine the range, and therefore the price. Make sure you know what will really be useful in the long run: do you really see interest in all the options? Or are you rather seduced by the high technological performances often pledges of quality?

ergonomics

The different mowers will play on the size of the device or will vary the materials used to improve your comfort when handling. Options such as "Soft Touch" allow a more pleasant use by reducing the intensity of vibrations in the handle or by having a film adhering so that the mower does not escape your hands. The shape of the mower also has an impact on the way it holds in your hand.

The noise produced by the device also contributes to the comfort of use. A mower that is too noisy will tire your ears and may also annoy people around you (for example, your family when you shave each morning in the bathroom).

The charging equipment

Your electric hair clipper can be delivered with a charging stand. Practical, the base prevents the mower from slipping on the edge of the sink and is also a storage accessory. Some lawnmowers do not have a service wire, and you just need to put the mower on the base for charging.

If your mower has a branch wire, pay attention to its length. A cable that is too short will interfere with your movements when using the device when connected to the mains.

Light indicators

Some machines have LED indicators that provide information on the battery level or the level of charge. Even if it seems a priori innocuous, you will quickly appreciate the visual comfort that allows you to know everything about the state of your device in a snap.

Constant Control technology

This adjustment on the electric hair clipper's engine provides a constant cutting power: thanks to a linear motor, the cut is regular regardless of the thickness of the hair or the density of the beard. It saves you from having a deconstructed or stair-shaped cup on the pretext that you have fine hair while the mower design was more suited to thick hair. Remember that the engine is an essential element for quality results!
