The trimmer is a technological innovation that, having appeared on the market, has won the hearts of women and men around the world. It’s like an electric razor, but with a thinner nozzle. The trimmer is used for trimming mustaches, beards, cutting hair on the head and in hard to reach places.
There are many different companies that produce trimmers. One of them is Braun.
Braun
Braun is a German company, founded back in 1921 by engineer Max Brown. By his last name the brand is named. Initially, the company developed components for electrical appliances, and then switched to creating its own radio receivers.
Brown had no fear of experimentation or innovation. He was the first engineer to use plastic in products. Moreover, he used his own stamping machines.
After 7 years, the company has grown significantly and already owned a personal factory. Their assortment expanded in proportion to the growth of the customer base: new models of radios, players, radio sets appeared on sale. A few years later, the first Braun trimmer saw the light.
The company logo appeared in 1935. The capital letter "A" symbolizes the radio tube, which it resembles in shape.

Braun trimmer. Reviews and specifications

There are 6 different settings. This Braun trimmer is equipped with a battery charge status indicator, and if the device runs out, it will be immediately visible. The battery is designed to work for 40 minutes, and it takes about 8 hours to charge the device. Also, the trimmer can be used from the network by connecting it to a 220V outlet.
Reviews describe such qualities. The body of the Braun cruZer 5 Beard trimmer is made of plastic and rubberized, which prevents slipping in the hand. The kit includes the necessary oil for lubrication, a nozzle and a brush for cleaning knives, so you do not need to buy these devices.
An important disadvantage of the trimmer is that it does not shave “to zero”. Necessary places have to be added using a machine. The blades themselves are heated to a very high temperature and make the haircut painful (but this is not felt with the nozzle). Low power is also a drawback. When shaving, the device sometimes mercilessly pulls out hairs, creating severe discomfort. You sit on needles waiting for the next portion of pain.
Braun NT3160
The trimmer is designed to cut hair in the nose and ears. Length varies from 3 to 5 mm. The blades are made of steel. There is a splash protection function when used in the shower. Self-powered. Includes 2 nozzles, eyebrow combs, protective cap for the blade.
One of the most important advantages of the device is its battery operation. Autonomous power allows you to take the Braun trimmer on any trip and not worry about the presence of an outlet. The hair removal procedure is painless due to the optimal angle of inclination and the cut protection system.

The device is equipped with a powerful battery, thanks to which it can work up to 120 minutes offline.
The reviews are as follows. Buyers note that the Braun female trimmer is quite compact, fits in a handbag of any size. Thanks to the work in standalone mode, you can take it with you on long trips, and even to those places where there is no outlet. The kit has a protective cover in which you can put the trimmer and not worry about its safety. In addition to direct use, the device can be used to correct the shape of eyebrows.
Of the minuses: the nozzle for point removal of hairs is very weak, it does not remove much. Flimsy structure, and it is likely that the trimmer will break in the first months of use.

From the positive reviews: it is very convenient that the trimmer remembers the settings that are set - sometimes there is absolutely no time to set them again. The blades are really high-quality, they remain in a sharp state for a long time. To clean them, you can use a special brush or ordinary tap water - after all, stainless steel. Good length that can be adjusted at any time. A haircut can be done for 50 minutes, and then charge the trimmer, or initially connect it to a power outlet and not be limited in time.
