What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent or unconfirmed: the box list names an eyebrow comb, 3 mm and 5 mm precision combs, and a travel pouch, while the A+ text mentions an included AA battery, eyebrow comb and 5 mm comb, and the structured component field names only the detail trimmer attachment. Confirm the selected listing's kit contents. The product is called waterproof in the title and structured data but showerproof or water-resistant elsewhere. Cutting-length figures are supplied, but their specific attachment or use is not explained.

Customer feedback praises ease of cleaning and the attachments, but reports mixed experiences with functionality, quality, value and battery life. Some say it trims well, while others report failure or insufficiently close cutting. For buyers considering its listed AA-powered setup and multiple grooming attachments, these comments make reliability and trimming depth important trade-offs. The aggregate rating is broadly positive, but does not settle those specific concerns.

Positive themes

Customers mention easy cleaning and appreciate the attachments.

Negative themes

Some customers say it does not cut close enough.
Some customers report that the trimmer does not work.

Mixed feedback

Functionality, quality, value and battery life receive mixed feedback.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Philips NT5650/16 rechargeable?

The listing specifies battery power and an AA battery requirement. It does not describe rechargeable operation.

Can it be used to trim facial hair?

The listing says the detail trimmer attachment is for shaping styles such as stubble, goatee, sideburns, neckline and moustache.

What comes in the box?

The supplied details disagree about the kit. One explicit contents list names a trimmer, detail trimmer attachment, eyebrow comb, 3 mm and 5 mm precision combs, and travel pouch, while other listing fields mention a narrower selection. Confirm the contents for the selected offer.

Can it be rinsed with water?

The listing describes it as washable and showerproof, and says it can be rinsed under running water. It does not give a more specific water-use rating.
