Norelco Philips OneBlade 360 Professional Hybrid Electrical Shaver & Trimmer, with 12-in-1 Comb, QP6531/70

Unexpectedly good for both beard trimming and edging – Compact – Long-lasting battery
I only needed a replacement beard trimmer (no need for a shaver as such) and was originally somewhat skeptical about the concept of using a small electric shaver with an adjustable trimming accessory. But the reviews were good, and I decided to give it a try.It turned out to be a great 3-in-1 appliance. PROs:1. The trimming accessory is simple, sturdy, doesn’t bend arbitrarily, ensures uniform trimming length, and is easy to adjust. Do NOT pay attention to reviews where some people complained about incorrect trimming length. We should all understand that these scales are approximate and relative. What used to be 2.5mm on my old trimmer is 3.5mm on this one (2.5 produces something close to the 5 O’clock stubble). Just find the correct position. It’s quite predictable from there. In my case, if I need to trim it a little longer, I just switch to 4 or 4.5mm.2. The whole thing is very easy to clean. The trimming accessory can be instantaneously removed (or put back on) and washed separately. To clean the shaver, just turn it on and wash it for 15 seconds under the tap, as recommended in the manual.3. It’s VERY compact compared to a regular rechargeable trimmer but works no less efficiently. A significant plus for traveling.4. An unexpected but welcome advantage: a much smaller “contamination” area. With all my previous dedicated trimmers, small, trimmed pieces of hair were flying in all directions within the 2+ ft radius, and I had to carefully clean both the sink and the shelves around it after each trimming. With this one, the “contamination radius” is much smaller, and cleaning afterwards is so much easier…5. After a month, the battery shows no signs of depletion. Looks like I can take it with me on a month-long trip without any need for recharging it.CONs: None are too bad, but you need to take it into account.1. The shaver uses a custom 15V power adapter with a weird custom cable, and you will have to take it with you anywhere you go. Moreover, you will not be able to charge the shaver if you accidentally lose this power adapter, or it breaks. WHY, oh WHY can’t they design these rechargeable appliances to use the worldwide standard, i.e. an USB-C port??? Any USB-C power source for notebooks and smartphones automatically adjusts to anything between 5V and 20V. It IS important to take as few cables/chargers as possible when you travel, let alone the risks of losing this stupid custom power adapter…2. Another universal design flaw inherent in 95% of all rechargeable appliances: Neither a small, recessed BATTERY OFF switch accessible only with a staple/small pin, nor a safety latch preventing accidental powering on. This IS important when you travel and want to put the shaver or trimmer in your luggage. Imagine something moving and pressing against the Power ON button during numerous bag loading/unloading procedures! It beats me why nobody thinks of this simple precaution when designing appliances that are frequently used while traveling…

Everything is great – except the guard
Overall, this is a fantastic little shaver. The included cover for the head/blade is nice and keeps it from getting hair everywhere when you throw it in your travel bag. The battery life is also impressive, lasting numerous uses while only taking an evening to charge fully.My biggest complaint is that the included shaving guard doesn’t work very well. Whether you’ve got it set high or low, the blades don’t seem to make great contact with your face/hair. Every time I’ve tried using the guard I end up taking it off and just going clean shaven. If you’re looking to trim, and not shave completely, this isn’t the best choice. But, for those wanting something compact and in need of a clean shave, this razor is great.

Close shave
Works as advertised. Very clean and close shave. So easy to use and I have only charged once and have used for months.

Great but fragile and expensive to replace the heads
3 days after buying it It fell off my sink and broke. I spent a while trying to get it back together but the plastic bits are so fragile and made of weak plastic. I know there’s a case for it, so that already tells you it’s fragile. This was during use, that it fell so the case wasn’t on. Bummer.it’s like 24-30 bucks to buy a replacement pack of 2.It works well, I’ll say that. I almost rather just get a cheap electric barber clipers. At least you have control to make shapes with those.

Es una máquina que realmente cumple su función y deja muy buenos resultados. Me ahorra el uso del rastrillo convencional aunque para acabados en ciertas zonas como el cuello lo seguiré usando.Lo que se ve en la foto es lo que viene en el paquete aunque una navaja extra no estaría mal pero dice que una sola navaja aguanta 4 meses usándola 2 veces por semana.La carga realmente se completa en 1 hora. Es un artículo que si no quieres batallar con la irritación o dolor que provoca el rastrillo debes tener en tus artículos de higiene y cuidado personal.El manual bien dice que el producto no es para el uso en ciertas zonas del cuerpo, además que este en específico no incluye los accesorios que son recomendados para la zona íntima, no obstante lo puse a prueba solo con la navaja y hace el trabajo bien aunque sí llega a cortar. El corte no se siente y no duele pero no es recomendable hacerlo, además que el acabado no es el ideal, si es su objetivo hacerlo solo con cuidado, tiempo y ayudándose de otro método para que quede bien.ACTUALIZACIÓN 2 MESES USÁNDOLA 24/07/2024La rasuradora es una maravilla, la cargué en cuanto la recibí y hoy después de dos meses, a pesar de que el manual menciona que la navaja dura hasta 4 meses usándola dos veces por semana, se ha acabado primero la navaja que la batería.El uso que le he dado efectivamente ha sido 2 veces por semana, incluso a veces que he dejado crecer un poco más de lo normal la barba, la rebajo con otra para después pasar la OneBlade por lo que no entiendo el desgaste prematuro de la navaja; considerando que debes cambiar en promedio al año 6 navajas y viendo el precio de cada una, es un punto a considerar si conviene o no, pero el hecho de no irritarme la piel ni que duela al rasurar es una ganancia enorme.

By far my favourite trimmer, great battery life, the adjustable attachment is a game changer.
