Cleaning is very easy, just apart from the trimmer head and rinse it under the running tap.

Let it dry before adjoining it with the body. It is not 100% washable, but all the attachments are washable.

Battery life:

I am really impressed with the battery life of the Philips Norelco Series 3000.

The battery is made with Lithium-Ion which will provide you with 90 minutes of work time with an 8-hour charge!

The charging time does not matter to me but the running really matters to me.

There is an indicator, by this system, you can know when the battery is low, empty or fully charged.

When you will charge the trimmer, the battery indicator becomes green. The indicator lights up green constantly when the battery becomes completely charged.

The running time is really impressive.

If you look forward to the Philips other series like- the Philips Norelco series 5100, this will provide you with 70 min corded/cordless use by 1-hour charge.

Philips Norelco Series 7200 will provide 80 min corded/cordless use by a 1-hour charge.

Sleek and Clever Design:

When you’re trimming a beard, you won’t have to think about how you get into the tight corners.

The Philips beard trimmer 3000 comes with a sleek design that makes it easy to handle.

The shaving head is large enough to cover big areas with more quickness. It ensures that it is a very handy device.

If you use it once, you will be a big fan of the textured grip at the top of the trimmer.

Rest your thumb on this trimmer, and you’ll maintain perfect control over your shave.

Philips company has embedded the power button into its own little groove. I like this technique.

This technique means there’s a small risk of turning the device power off when you’re in the middle of a shave.

Cleaning work of the device is also pretty easy. It means that you can clean it under running water.

The shaver head has a tendency to collect the stubble in the dial as you shave.

If you leave it unchecked, this stubble turns into gunk. This is almost impossible to get rid of that.

For this, I’d recommend rinse the shaving head under the tap after every trim.

Cleaning and Maintenance

It is very easy to clean the trimmer with a cleaning brush. Now, I am telling you how you will do an easy clean with the cleaning brush.

This 1^st of all to clean, remove the comb and blades are revealed.

Now one more level of cleaning can be achieved by removing the blades.

To remove the blade, apply force against the blades, and it simply comes up.

After removing the blades, you can see the mortal lining on the trimmer body, and you need to clean this area very well.

Cleaning of this area is very essential so that hairs do not mingle with this part and it can cause a disturbance in the motion, which can be reducing the efficiency of cutting.

After cleaning, you have to replace the blades and comb.

Now replace the blade’s back edge in the trimmer, then press and you will hear a click, and we are ready for action.

After replacing the blades, you can apply the comb back.

The blades are skin-friendly so there is no chance of skin scratching and irritations.

In front of the trimmer, you will see there is an ON/OFF slider.  And you will also see the 10-length settings of hair on the front side.

The Norelco 3000 can trim your hair up to 0.5mm-10mm.

My shaving experience with it is really good, and I am satisfied.
