6 Best Vaccum Beard trimmers

Remington HKVAC2000A – biggest vacuum chamber

Remington is a well-known brand in the world of beard trimmers. And their HKVAC2000A model is one of the best vacuum beard trimmers you can get.

It is an affordable trimmer that comes with a lot of features.

First of all, the huge vacuum chamber is not something that can’t go unnoticed. We don’t know precisely how bigger it is compared to similar trimmers on the market, but it is way bigger.

And you might ask, why is that important?

Well, the bigger the chamber, the less often you will have to empty it. And believe me, emptying a beard trimmer chamber while you are in the middle of trimming your beard is not a pleasant experience.

The way this trimmer work is while you are trimming your beard, a power fan suck in all the hair. That way, you won’t have to worry about cleaning up a lot after each trimming session.

The precision blades are also worth mentioning. They are removable and can be rinsed under water for easy cleaning. When you buy this trimmer, you also get oil to keep them in top condition.

Another thing that makes this trimmer stand out is that it is a 2-in-1 trimmer. That means it can be used for both your beard and hair, making it a good investment.

It is a complete grooming kit with 16 pieces, including six guide combs, scissors, a cleaning brush, and more.

But enough with the good stuff. Let’s talk about the things I didn’t like about this trimmer.

The first thing is that it is not a cordless trimmer, and to use it, you should plug it into a 110 120 -volt outlet. I don’t like this because while corded beard trimmers are more powerful, they are not as convenient to use. In my last house, the outlet in my bathroom was not that close to the mirror, so trimming my beard was a bit of a pain.

The second thing is that it is a little bit noisy. This is because there is not only the sound of the blades but also the sound of the vacuum. It is not a huge deal-breaker, but it could irritate some people.

Finally, and this is something subjective, I think it is a bit bulky. I guess this is because of the huge vacuum chamber. Nevertheless, it is something to keep in mind.

So, all in all, Remington HKVAC2000A is an affordable and feature-packed trimmer that is worth your attention.

If you are looking for a corded 2-in-1 beard and hair trimmer with a huge vacuum chamber, this is the right trimmer.

Wahl Vacuum Trimmer Kit – Best Absorbion Vacuum Beard trimmer

If you have been in the grooming space for a while, then you have probably heard of Wahl. They are one of the leading manufacturers of beard trimmers, hair clippers, and other professional grooming products.

But the last few years, they have also been releasing products for the home user. And their Vacuum Trimmer Kit is one of them.

Just like the previous trimmer, this one is also a 2-in-1 trimmer that can be used both for your beard and hair.

But the most significant selling point of this trimmer is not the fact that it is a 2-in-1. It is that it can absorb up to 99% of the hair, while other trimmers can only absorb about 90%-95%.

This is good news for people who hate cleaning up after each trimming session.

As I told you, it is a complete grooming kit, and it comes with 12 combs with 22 cutting lengths, a 10-position guide, ear and nose trimmers, and, most importantly, a worldwide voltage adapter.

That means you can take this trimmer with you wherever you go in the world and use it without worrying about finding a compatible outlet.

Talking about outlets, this trimmer works both cordless and corded. Just charge its lithium-ion battery for 90 minutes, and you will be able to use it cordless for another 90.

I really like the fact that it is both a corded and cordless trimmer because, as I told you before, corded trimmers are more powerful, and cordless trimmers are more practical.

The blades are very sharp and self-sharpening. That means that you won’t have to replace them as often as with other trimmers. They are also detachable and can be rinsed.

But there are not only good things about this trimmer. There are also some negative aspects that you should know.

The first thing is the price. It is a bit pricey compared to other trimmers, but it is still cheaper than going to the barber weekly.

The second thing is that it is very noisy. Even more than the previous trimmer. But this is to be expected because it has a very powerful motor.

The third thing, which is the most important, is that there are several reports of the trimmer breaking after a few uses. While this didn’t happen in our case, we had to let you know.

All in all, Wahl Vacuum Trimmer Kit is a great trimmer that comes with a lot of features. It is a bit expensive, but if you are looking for a portable and high absorption trimmer, this is the right one.

Remington MB6850 – Best Stubble Vacuum Beard Trimmer

The next trimmer on our list is the Remington MB6850. Unlike the previous two trimmers, this one is not a 2-in-1. It is only for beards. This is not bad per se, but it is something to keep in mind.

The thing I like the most about this beard trimmer is its blades; let me explain why.

The blades are made of stainless steel, and they are self-sharpening. That means that you won’t have to replace them as often as with other trimmers. They are also detachable and can be rinsed under water.

These three things together make for a very durable and easy-to-clean trimmer.

The second thing I like about it is its rechargeable battery. The lithium battery can last up to 90 minutes on a single charge, which is way more than you would need for a single trimming session.

And it only needs to be charged for 1 hour to get that much power. That is very good news for people who are always on the go and don’t have time to wait for the trimmer to charge. It also comes with a worldwide voltage adapter making it a great choice for those who like to travel.

The third thing I like is its high absorption rate. This trimmer can absorb up to 95% of the hair. It is not as good as the previous trimmer but still very good.

And last but not least, I like the design of this trimmer. I know design is not the most important thing, but the truth is that it looks terrific. It is black with a few green accents and just looks like a quality trimmer.

Now, let’s talk about the things I don’t like about this trimmer.

The first thing is its guards. It has plastic guards, and they are not very high quality. They bend easily, which is not good if you want a precise trim. When trimming your beard, you put different amounts of pressure on the trimmer, and if the guards are not steady and bent, they can ruin your trim. This is why I wouldn’t recommend this trimmer to people with long beards.

The second thing I don’t like is that it has a design flaw. The button that adjusts the length of the guards is on the back side and very close to the head of the trimmer. So, if you accidentally touch it while trimming your beard, the guards will get unlocked and destroy your trim.

We might have sounded a bit harsh in this review, but the truth is that this trimmer has some very good features and wouldn’t make it to our list of the best beard trimmers if it wasn’t good.

Despite its flaws, we think it is a very good trimmer and recommend it to people with short beards.

Philips Norelco 7300 – Best Turbo Vacuum beard trimmer

Phillips and its Norelco series are one of the most known names regarding trimmers and shavers. And their beard trimmer 7300 is one of the best they offer.

The first thing I like about this trimmer is its turbo mode. Do you remember when they put the car in turbo mode in the Fast and Furious movies to go faster?

Well, this trimmer has a similar feature. Turning on the turbo mode will increase the blades’ speed and make them cut faster. At the same time, it will increase the suction power and make the trimmer more effective.

I like this feature because it is very useful when you have a lot of hair. It will make the trimming process faster and easier.

The second thing I like about this trimmer is its LCD screen. This is a handy feature because it will help you see how much battery is left and what trimming mode you have selected.

And I am sure that a lot of you by now would be thinking that the turbo mode and LCD screen are the only things this trimmer has to offer. But that is not true.

This trimmer also comes with a very powerful battery. It is a Lithium-ion battery that can last up to 50 minutes on a single charge. And it only needs to be charged for 1 hour to get that much power.

The length cut settings are also very good. It has 18 settings ranging from 1/32 of an inch to 23/32 of an inch.

Last but not least, this trimmer is very easy to use and comfortable. The grip is very good and will make trimming your beard a lot easier.

And as you have probably guessed, it is time to talk about the things we don’t like about this trimmer.

The first thing is that it is a bit pricey. I know that Phillips Norelco is a very good brand, but this trimmer is a bit too expensive in our opinion.

The second thing is that the door at the vacuum chamber is not very well designed, and it can come off easily. This is bad because if the chamber falls when it is full of hair, it will be a giant mess.

The third and last thing we don’t like is that the turbo mode can be a bit too much for some people. If you have sensitive skin, then the turbo mode can irritate it.

But overall, this is a very good trimmer and definitely deserves a spot on our list.

This is a very good option if you want a well-designed beard trimmer with extra things like a turbo mode and an LCD screen. Just keep in mind that it is a bit pricey.

Remington Hc6550 Cordless Vacuum Haircut – Best Long Beard Vacuum trimmer

The Remington Hc6550 is a very good beard trimmer that was actually designed for cutting hair. But after trying it, we realized it could do a perfect job trimming beards.

The first thing I like about this trimmer is its huge vacuum chamber. Like the Remington HKVAC2000A, this trimmer also has a chamber that can hold up more hair than most other trimmers.

And this is very important when talking about a hair trimmer because you definitely don’t want to make a mess.

The suction power is also very good. It can reach up to 90%, which is not the best, but it is still very good.

The second thing we like about this trimmer is its blades. It’s the only trimmer on our list that has titanium-coated blades. And as you probably know, titanium is a solid material that is also very lightweight. This means that the blades will be very sharp and last longer than other blades.

When it comes to battery life, this trimmer is very good. The lithium battery can last up to 60 minutes on a single charge and only needs to be charged for 4 hours. I know that 4 hours might sound like a lot, but it is not that bad.

As for the extra pieces that come with this trimmer, there are 11 different combs with different length settings, a storage pouch, and some cleaning brushes.

Finally, the 2-year warranty offers peace of mind.

The first thing we don’t like about this trimmer is that it is a bit bulky and very heavy. This means that it might not be the best option for people with small hands or those who want a detailed trim.

This is because when you have a beard trimmer of this size, it is very difficult to reach small areas, so we recommend this trimmer for people with long beards who don’t want a detailed trim.

The second thing is that there are many cases where the trimmer would stop working after six months or so. We are not sure if this is a problem with the trimmer or the battery, but it is something to keep in mind. When testing a trimmer, we cannot test it for a long time, so we can’t say if this is a common problem, but it is something we discovered during our research and wanted to share with you.

The good thing is that even if this happens, you are still covered by the 2-year warranty.

Overall, this is a very good beard trimmer with some great features. Just keep in mind that it is a bit bulky, and it might not be the best option for people with small hands or those who want a detailed trim.

Wahl Professional Vacuum Clipper #8566 – Best Professional

Wahl’s Professional Vacuum Clipper is totally different from all other trimmers on our list. This is because it was actually designed for professional use.

The most notable difference is the vacuum hose. Unlike all vacuum trimmers with a vacuum chamber for collecting the hair, this trimmer has a vacuum hose that you connect to your vacuum cleaner.

And I know a lot of you will be like, WTF?

I know it sounds strange, but I told you this is a professional trimmer, so if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense.

The thing is that professional barbers need to be fast, and emptying a vacuum chamber after every customer would take too much time.

So, with this trimmer, they can just connect it to their vacuum cleaner, and the hair will go directly into the vacuum bag.

The second thing that makes this trimmer different is its motor. It has the V9000 motor; the same motor Wahl uses for their professional hair clippers.

This means it is way more powerful than other vacuum beard trimmers on this list and will cut through any hair type without getting tangled or overheated.

The blade is also different. It is a stainless steel blade with a precise 45-degree angle that will give you an immaculate trim. It comes with six different combs, a storage pouch, and some cleaning brushes.

Finally, it is a corded trimmer, so if you are looking for a cordless trimmer, this is not the one for you.

After talking about all the good things about this trimmer, it is time to talk about the bad things.

First of all, it is difficult to use. It is a corded trimmer that connects to your vacuum cleaner, so it is not very easy to maneuver.

It will take some time to get used to it, and even then, you will probably not be able to reach some areas. This is why we only recommend this trimmer for experienced users that won’t get frustrated by its learning curve.

Secondly, it is a heavy trimmer. It weighs 1 pound and 3 ounces, almost twice as much as some of the other trimmers on our list.

And finally, it is a bit pricey. Being a professional trimmer, it is not surprising that it is a bit more expensive than the other trimmers on our list.

If you are looking for a powerhouse of a trimmer that will give you a very clean trim, this is the one for you. Just keep in mind that it is not very easy to use and quite heavy.

Vacuum Beard Trimmer Buying guide

Now that we have talked about the best vacuum beard trimmers on the market, it is time to talk about what you need to look for when buying a vacuum beard trimmer.

We believe it is better to learn someone how to fish, rather than just giving them a fish.

So, in this section, we will talk about the most important features of a beard trimmer and what you need to look for when buying one, depending on your needs.

1. The Vacuum

Because we are talking about vacuum beard trimmers, the first thing you need to look at is the vacuum. 

There are two things you need to look at when it comes to the vacuum. 

The first thing is the vacuum’s absorption rate and its suction power. 

These two things are directly related to each other, and the more powerful the vacuum’s suction, the higher the absorption rate will be. 

As you saw, the products we reviewed had different absorption rates that ranged from 90% to 99%.

The highest the absorption rate of the vacuum, the less time you will spend cleaning your bathroom after trimming your beard. 

This is really important, especially for people with long beards that will inevitably make a mess. If you have a stubble beard, you can get away with a trimmer with a lower absorption rate, but if you have a long beard, you need to get one with a high absorption rate. 

The second thing you need to pay attention to is the vacuum chamber itself

(I will not talk about vacuum hoses as they are only present on professional trimmers.) 

The vacuum chamber size is another important thing you must look at.  This is because the larger the vacuum chamber, the less time you will spend emptying it. 

So, again if you have a lot of facial hair, you should get a trimmer with a large vacuum chamber. 

2. The blades

The blades are the most crucial part of the trimmer because they are the ones that will actually do the cutting.

So, you need to make sure that they are made of high-quality and sharp materials.

The best materials for blades are stainless steel and titanium. These materials are solid and durable and will stay sharp for a long time.

As for the sharpness, you need to make sure that the blades are either self-sharpening or that they are easy to sharpen. The last thing you want is to replace the blades after every few uses.

Finally, you want to choose a trimmer with detachable blades. This means that you can take them off and clean them easily. This is also important because it will prolong the life of the blades.

Unlike the vacuum chamber that you can go with a smaller one if you have a stubble beard, the blade quality is not something you want to compromise on, no matter what.

3. Cordless or Corded

Next, you need to decide whether you want a cordless or corded trimmer.

Going with a vacuum beard trimmer that can work both in corded and cordless mode is always a good idea because it will give you more options and flexibility.

The pros of having a corded trimmer are that they are more powerful because they are not limited by battery life. This means that they can cut through even the thickest and coarsest hair without getting tangled or overheated.

On the other hand, the pros of having a cordless trimmer are that they are more convenient to use because you will not have to worry about being near an outlet. This means you can take them with you anywhere and use them whenever necessary, with the only downside being that they are not as powerful as the corded ones.

So, why not just use a vacuum trimmer that works in both modes? This way, you can have the best of both worlds.

If you decide to go with a cordless trimmer, you need to ensure that it has long battery life. This means that it should be able to work for at least an hour on a single charge. The battery type is also important. Lithium-ion batteries are the best because they are very powerful.

4. Extras

Some of the extras that you might find helpful are:

• Trimmer Guards: These are great if you want to control the length of your beard. You should choose a trimmer that comes with many different guards so that you can experiment and find the one that suits you best.
• Worldwide Voltage: This is a must-have if you travel a lot. You do not want to be limited to using your trimmer only in one country or having to buy a new one every time you travel.
• Storage / Travel bag: This is a great way to keep all of your trimmer’s accessories organized and in one place.

Finally, it is not only about the quantity but also the quality of the extras. So, make sure that they are made of high-quality, durable materials. As you saw above, there have been many complaints about the plastic guards breaking easily or bending, so try to avoid those.

5. Understand your own needs

This is the most important and something that most people forget. You need to understand your own needs and choose the best vacuum beard trimmer for you.

What I mean is that you probably won’t find a vacuum beard trimmer with all the features discussed. And that is perfectly normal because, in the end, it all comes down to personal preferences.

So, for example, if you have a very thick and coarse beard, you might not care so much about battery life and want to go with a powerful corded trimmer.

Or, if you travel a lot and have a stubble beard, you might want to go with a cordless trimmer that is small and lightweight, even if it is not as powerful or has a big vacuum chamber.

The bottom line is that you should not let other people’s opinions influence your decision too much. You are the one who is going to use the trimmer, and you are the one who knows what you need.

Conclusion

Now that you know what to look for, it is time to do your research and find the best vacuum beard trimmer for you.

We hope this guide was helpful and that you will find the perfect trimmer.
