It is part of the Philips “Series 1000” beard-trimming lineup (model BT1230/18) for men.
Features self-sharpening stainless steel blades designed to maintain cutting performance over time.
Skin-friendly trimming: has a “SkinProtect comb” and rounded blade tips to reduce irritation and provide comfortable contact with the skin.
Cordless rechargeable design: According to specs, about 30 minutes of cordless runtime after a full 8-hour charge.
USB charging support (as per some stores) and ergonomic design for ease of use.
Trimming range and length settings: Indicated range of ~0.5 mm to ~7 mm and 4 length settings in some descriptions.
Smooth & skin-friendly trimming: The SkinProtect comb plus rounded blade tips mean you get a closer trim with less risk of nicks, irritation or pulling.
Reliable blade performance: Self-sharpening blades help the trimmer stay sharp “day 1” over longer usage — fewer concerns about rapid dulling.
Convenient cordless use: The ~30-minute cordless runtime is sufficient for typical beard trims and with USB charging you have flexibility.
Simple length control: With 4 length settings and range down to ~0.5 mm (for near-zero trim) up to ~5-7mm for longer stubble, you can adjust grooming style.
Low maintenance: The user manual notes rinseable heads (for cleaning) and that no oiling is needed. Simplifies upkeep.
Good value entry model: For basic beard trimming needs (daily maintenance, stubble, short beard) the BT1230/18 offers core functionality at a more modest price point compared to premium groomers.
Here’s a recommended step-by-step process:
Charge before first use
Attach comb / set length
Choose the comb setting or use the SkinProtect comb for closer trim.
For stubble or short beard: select lower length setting (0.5 mm ~ “zero trim” using SkinProtect comb) or longer if you prefer more length (say 5-7 mm).
Trim your beard
On dry beard (recommended unless otherwise stated) move the trimmer against the direction of hair growth for even trimming.
Use moderate pressure — allow the blades to do the work; don’t press too hard which may cause discomfort or unevenness.
Use the comb attachment to keep consistent length; for edging or shaping (jawline, moustache) you may remove comb if comfortable, using just the blade.
After trimming – cleaning & maintenance
Detach the trimming head if removable and rinse under running water (if device supports rinsing). Specs say “rinseable attachments”.
Dry the head and unit thoroughly before storing.
Store the trimmer in a dry place; keep the charger cable handy and avoid long term battery discharge (if stored unused).
Additional tips
If beard is particularly dense or long before trimming, consider combing through first or doing a higher length setting then refining.
Replace the trimmer or seek service if the blade performance degrades (hair tugging, uneven trim) — although the self-sharpening blades reduce this risk.
For best results, trim regularly to maintain desired beard length and avoid letting excessive hair growth make trimming more difficult.
While specs mention “wet & dry” for some trims (turn0search9), verify actual variant supports wet use before using with water/foam.
