The Best Beard Trimmer in Australia

Your beard needs tidying, but choosing a beard trimmer shouldn’t take longer than the trim. We’d buy the Philips Series 3000 BT3660/15 for regular beard maintenance: fine length adjustments, waterproof cleaning and a good owner score backed by 150 reviews make it our first recommendation.

If you also want to trim hair and body hair, choose the Philips All-in-One Series 5000 instead. Keeping the spend down matters more? The Remington 5-in-1 is our budget buy. All seven picks below were in stock at Amazon Australia when checked.

1. Best for everyday beard maintenance: Philips Series 3000 BT3660/15

If you want to keep your beard at a familiar length and get on with your morning, start with the Philips Series 3000. Our take is that its beard-focused features are worth more for this job than attachments you’ll leave in a drawer.

The half-millimetre adjustments let you make a small change rather than commit to a noticeably different length. And the waterproof design makes cleaning less of a separate chore. Philips says the Lift&Trim comb guides hair into the blade for an even trim; that’s a useful design aim, rather than a reason to promise perfect results.

Its 4.44 out of 5 score at JB Hi-Fi comes from 150 reviews, the largest review count among these seven picks. We’d put more weight on that than a perfect score from a couple of buyers.

The catch is the price. Both the Remington kit and Braun Series 3 cost less at our check. If your main concern is spending as little as possible, those deserve a look before you pay for this one.

Our verdict: This is the beard trimmer we’d recommend first for regular maintenance. Choose a cheaper pick if price matters more than waterproof cleaning and the larger number of owner reviews.

2. Best for thick beards and all-in-one grooming: Philips All-in-One Series 5000 MG5922/15

A thick beard and several grooming jobs give you a reason to buy more than a dedicated beard trimmer. The Philips All-in-One Series 5000 is our choice when you’ll actually use the hair, nose and body attachments.

Philips says BeardSense responds to dense, bushy or longer beards by increasing power. That’s why we’d favour it for thick facial hair over buying a basic model purely because it’s cheaper.

The attachments are the other reason to spend more than you would on the Series 3000. They give you separate tools for several grooming jobs, so this makes sense as a hair and beard trimmer rather than a beard-only purchase. If you won’t use them, our top pick is the better spend.

The Good Guys lists an owner rating of 4.7 out of 5 from 28 reviews. That’s encouraging, though a much smaller group than the Series 3000’s.

Before buying, check the exact length settings on the listing: its title says seven, while the feature description says eleven. You’ll also need to provide a suitable power adaptor for the included charging cable.

Our verdict: Buy this if a thick beard and broader grooming needs justify the extra kit. For beard maintenance alone, we’d save money with the Series 3000.

3. Best budget grooming kit: Remington 5-in-1 PG6024AU

You don’t need to spend heavily to get a beard tidy-up kit with a few useful extras. The Remington 5-in-1 is the cheapest pick here, and we’d choose it before paying for features you don’t expect to use.

The mini foil shaver adds a close-shaving tool alongside beard trimming, which gives this inexpensive kit a useful second job. The adjustable comb covers 2–16 mm, but its eight settings give you fewer choices than the Braun Series 3’s 40. Choose the Braun if small length changes matter more than extra attachments.

Its owner score is 4.6 out of 5 from 17 reviews at The Good Guys. That’s a promising result from a modest number of buyers, rather than a reason to expect it to match every dearer model.

Our verdict: This is our value buy for an inexpensive, versatile grooming kit. Spend more only if you need finer length control or a feature it doesn’t offer.

4. Best for locking in your preferred length: Braun Beard Trimmer Series 7 BT7540

Once you’ve found a beard length you like, being able to lock that setting is useful. The Braun Series 7 pairs its adjustment wheel with PrecisionLock, making it our step-up choice for that priority.

The length lock is a more persuasive reason to pay extra than Braun’s promises of “flawless” style. It addresses a specific concern: keeping your chosen setting in place while you trim. Waterproof construction also suits buyers who want straightforward cleaning.

The rating looks strong at 4.8 out of 5, but it’s based on just six reviews at The Good Guys. We wouldn’t let that small sample decide the purchase.

It costs considerably more than either Philips here. If you’ll mainly turn the wheel to one length and trim, the Series 3000 is easier to justify.

Our verdict: Pay for the Series 7 if a length lock and broader styling tools are features you’ll use. For a straightforward beard trim, we’d keep the extra money.

5. Best for longer gaps between charges: Wahl Waterproof Stainless Steel WA9898-212

If remembering to charge another device is the annoyance you’re trying to avoid, consider the Wahl Stainless Steel Grooming Kit. Its claimed 3.5-hour runtime is the main reason we’d put it on your shortlist.

A longer stated runtime gives you more room between charges, though the number of weeks will depend on how often and how long you trim. We’d focus on the runtime figure rather than Wahl’s broader promise of months of use.

The adjustable combs reach 21 mm, making this worth considering if your preferred beard length is beyond the 16 mm combs supplied with the Philips all-in-one and Remington kits.

But this is the dearest pick in the guide. Its 4.8 out of 5 rating at The Good Guys rests on only four reviews, so the price needs to make sense on the features alone.

Our verdict: Choose the Wahl if longer gaps between charges and its comb range solve a real problem for you. It’s too much to spend for occasional basic trimming.

6. Best budget pick for fine length adjustments: Braun Beard Trimmer Series 3 BT3520

If the Remington’s length choices feel too limited but your budget is still modest, the Braun Series 3 is the sensible alternative. You get fine adjustment without paying for the Series 7.

Half-millimetre steps give you room to refine your beard length gradually. That’s the feature we’d buy this for, especially if keeping a consistent style matters more than having a collection of grooming heads.

Its perfect 5 out of 5 score comes from just two reviews at The Good Guys. Two ratings aren’t enough to make it our overall winner. The price and length control are the stronger reasons to choose it.

Our verdict: Buy the Series 3 for inexpensive, fine beard-length control. Choose the Remington if extra grooming attachments matter more.

7. Best for fine stubble adjustments: ConairMan Xpert CM787A

When a small change in stubble length matters to you, the ConairMan Xpert offers a reason to look beyond the cheaper models. Its motorised adjustments work in 0.2 mm steps across a 0.4–10 mm range.

Those small adjustments suit someone who wants to refine short facial hair rather than maintain a longer beard. Corded operation also gives you an alternative when you don’t want to rely on the battery.

Its price and owner ratings make it harder to recommend. Its 3.92 out of 5 score from 13 reviews at JB Hi-Fi is lower than every other owner score in this guide, and Amazon’s checked price was higher than The Good Guys’. We’d buy it for its specific controls, not as a default recommendation.

Our verdict: Consider the Xpert if fine stubble adjustments are your priority. Otherwise, the Philips Series 3000 is our better everyday buy.

Beard trimmer buying guide

If you’re maintaining one beard style, start with length control

Decide the length you want before choosing a kit. Small adjustment steps help if you like making gradual changes; a comb’s maximum length matters if you want to keep a longer beard.

Don’t buy on the number of settings alone. Check that the actual range includes your preferred length.

If your beard is thick, look for a feature aimed at that problem

The Philips All-in-One Series 5000 has density-responsive power that Philips says is designed for dense, bushy and longer beards. That’s a relevant reason to shortlist it. A long list of unrelated attachments won’t answer the same concern.

If you’re shopping for a men’s beard trimmer and shaver, check the heads

Decide whether you want to shorten facial hair, shave it closely, or do both. Those are different jobs.

The Remington includes a mini foil shaver, while the Wahl includes a dual foil head. Look at the supplied tools rather than assuming every beard trimmer is a complete shaving kit. For a shaving-focused purchase, see our electric shaver guide.

If you regularly forget to charge, check more than runtime

Runtime tells you how much cordless trimming the maker claims. It doesn’t tell you how quickly a flat battery recovers or whether the trimmer works plugged in.

Check those separately before buying. A charging cable also doesn’t necessarily mean a power adaptor is included.

If cleaning puts you off trimming, read the waterproof wording

A waterproof trimmer and rinseable attachments aren’t the same claim. Follow the model’s cleaning instructions rather than assuming the whole unit can go under the tap because its combs can.

If you’re trying to save money, pay for the job you’ll do

Our budget choices solve different problems. The Remington gives you a broader grooming kit for less money; the Braun Series 3 gives you finer length adjustments.

Choose between those needs first. Extra tools are worth paying for when you’ll use them.
