Built Quality of Philips OneBlade

The Phillips Norelco Oneblade 2520 electric trimmer and shaver is a combination of 2 colours – lime green and charcoal grey.

The machine’s handle is made with a ribbed rubber grip.

So there is no chance of suddenly falling down.

There is an ON/OFF button on the front side of the handle.

The charging socket is situated at the bottom of the machine.

There are 3 stubble combs for even stubble trim – 3/16 inch/5mm, 1/8 inch/3mm, and 3/64 inch/1mm.

The blade is not so sturdy, it feels fragile.

The machine dimensions – 7.1 x 8.1 x 2.4 inches.

This machine is for wet and dry use. You can use shaving cream, gels, and soap for a refreshing wet shave.

Being water-resistant, cleaning this machine is so easy and there is no risk of water causing problems.

Battery Life

Phillips OneBlade electric trimmer and shaver QP2520 is powered by a Ni-MH rechargeable battery.

The battery will provide 45 minutes of operating time per 8 hours of charge.

8 hours is a long time! But you should consider the price range.

There is a battery indicator; this indicator will provide you a notification when the machine needs to plug in for the charge.

When the machine fully charges, the battery percentage will show 100%, and the light will flash continuously.

This machine is only for cordless use.

The battery quality could be better because sometimes it misbehaves, does not work properly and takes more than 8 hours for a full charge.

Some of my friends gave objections about the battery.

Honestly, I am not happy with the battery life and its quality. I rather choose the Philips OneBlade Pro for the battery quality.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Important- the blade is breakable, so handle it with care. Never tap the blade on the back to remove the hair from it. It can cause damage to the blade.

• Always turn the machine off before removing the comb from it.
• If a lot of hair deposits on the blade or comb, you must blow them off first.
• Then turn the machine ON, rinse the blade, and combs under warm water.
• After the rinse, let all the parts air dry. Never use a cloth or tissue for drying the blades.

This machine is 100% waterproof, so there is no chance of water causing problems.

Shaving System

The Phillips OneBlade QP2025 is not only a trimmer but also a shaver.

The blade is not like the traditional blade. It will provide a comfortable shave.

We all know how to shave, and I don’t need to talk about this section it is like another general shaving machine.

Always move the machine against the hair growth for the best shaving result.

I don’t have any objection to shaving; my shaving experience is good, and I don’t feel any razor burns or irritations.

How to Trim with the Combs?

This package has 3 stubble-trimming combs for different hair lengths.

Tip- to get the best result, trim your beard dry, and operate it against the hair growth.

• 1^st, place the comb on the blade properly. The comb teeth can move upwards or downwards.
• If you trim for the 1^st time, use the 5mm trimming comb. Because it will prevent accidentally trimming hair too short.
• Don’t operate the machine so fast. Move it gently.
• Never operate the machine against its teeth.
• All the hair doesn’t grow in the same direction, so you have to move the machine in different positions like – upwards, downwards, across.

Practice makes as perfect, and to get an optimal result do the practice.

I don’t have any objection to this section. Only, the comb quality is not so good.

But we have to remember the price range. If you use it carefully, I think it will last longer.

Replacement Parts of Philips OneBlade

The manufacturer recommended that to get an optimal shave/trim, we have to replace the blade after every 4 months.

After the replacement of the blade, your machine will work like before.

Replacement is less costly than buying a new one.

How will you know when you need to replace the blade?

The blade is furnished with a blade wear indicator; a green bar will slowly rise on the blade when you use it.

When it is highly visible, that time you need to replace the blade.

Replacement Blade- QP210, QP220, QP610, QP620

Verdict

I always like to try something new, so I bought the Phillips OneBlade 2520.

The Phillips Norelco one blade electric trimmer and shaver QP2520 provided me a satisfactory performance, but it broke down after 10 months of use.

The built quality is not so good. It can break down through a little pressure.

But if you use it carefully, I think it will last longer.

I don’t have any objection to the shaving performance. My displeasure is only about the battery and the cheap plastic.

I don’t want to recommend this product for better quality, you can choose the Philips OneBlade Pro instead.

You can buy it for a test. After the test, if you are not fully satisfied, you can return it within 45 days.
