In this video, I’m taking a look at the Philips Norelco Series 5000 Beard Trimmer 5500, Model BT5511/49.

Despite being new to the market, this Philips trimmer is an Amazon Choice Recommendation, ranking at #67 for the category of beard and mustache trimmers. It also holds an impressive 4.7 out of 5-star rating.

Now, I thought it would be especially valuable if I not only reviewed the Philips Beard Trimmer 5500, but also compared it to the Philips Norelco Series 5100 Beard and Head Trimmer.

These two beard trim devices are practically identical in features, and it’s likely you’d be choosing between the two for your beard trimming needs.

Philips touts the Series 5000 Beard and Stubble trimmer for its 40 length adjustable settings and DualCut steel blades.

Accompanying this Philips Series 5000 beard trimmer are a beard and stubble comb, short hair comb, long hair comb, charger, and brush

If you take a look at my previous video on the Philips 5100, you’ll notice that the Beard Trimmer 5500 is basically a new and improved model in the Series 5000 family.

While the Philips Norelco Series 5100 includes 3 beard and hair combs that work in combination with a built in zoom wheel, the Beard trimmer 5500 includes 3 identical combs that hold only slight variations in design and feature the same hair lift technology that guides hairs to the blade for efficient one pass trimming.

For beard and hair trimming, the Philips 5100 is capable of cutting at 34 length settings from 0.4mm to 13mm, while this Philips Series 5000 trimmer takes it up a notch, incorporating 40 precision length settings ranging from 0.4mm to 20mm.

You’ll notice an internal LED light that illuminates each increment on the Beard Trimmer 5500 as you turn its zoom wheel.

As far as battery life, the Philips Norelco Series 5100 Beard and Head Trimmer uses a Lithium-ion battery and requires 1hr of charge time for 70 minutes of cordless use.

However, this Philips 5000 Beard Trimmer outperforms, utilizing a lithium-ion battery that requires 1hr of charge time for 90 minutes of use.

The Philips Series 5000 also has a charging indicator light, which is absent from the Series 5100.

Both Philips trimmers can be used plugged in for continuous use.

The Series 5100 and Beard Trimmer Series 5000, along with their attachments, are both fully washable.

However, these Philips trimmers are only to be used in dry condition and cannot be used while bathing or in the shower.

Currently, the Philips Norelco Beard and Hair Trimmer Series 5100 sells on Amazon for around $49, while you’ll find the Beard Trimmer Series 5000 similarly priced around $48.

For this beard trim, I shorten up the sides of my beard, leaving a longer goatee and mustache. I trim under the neck line and around the face to get some nice crisp lines. I also work in some dimension by using just a few of the many settings available on these two beard trimming devices.

These are two great Philips beard trimmers, but there is a clear winner. Be sure to watch the video to find out the GroomReviews recommendation.

Will it be the Philips Norelco Series 5000 Beard Trimmer 5500 or the Philips 5100 Beard and Head Trimmer?
