Blackout Beardscape V2

Product Information

The power cable itself is 7ft long and has a USB fitting, making this ideal for taking abroad—it charges when plugged into your computer, too. The other end of the cable fits directly into the trimmer itself, or the base, if you are looking for something more permanent. The base is wide enough to provide good support when used to charge the trimmer. Brio suggest letting the trimmer discharge down to about 20% between charges, (30 minutes or less time remaining), rather than plugging it in after each use.

But beyond this, one of the biggest claims being trumpeted by Brio is that the Brio Beardscape is one of the quietest and sharpest trimmers available on the market today. Featuring super sharp ceramic blades paired with a titanium rake ground to precision, this perfect cutting combination is said to make the difference. It is not waterproof or even splash proof but if it were, you would have to oil the blades more frequently. This is the only thing that I think that could be improved in a future model.I've trimmed my head, beard and body for my entire adult life (I'm 42) so I've had a few trimmers, some were ok, some not and I know what I'm talking about. The Brio Beardscape comes with an extra large capacity Lithium Ion Battery and will last up to 4 hours based on a full 3 hour charge. It can be charged on the base or plugged in while in use, even if the battery is empty. What’s the price?

I have run my whole business on two Macbook Pros for 14 years. They’re fast, always work as expected, and sturdy. They make doing what I do easier. Based on the speed setting of the trimmer, this will show differing amounts of battery time remaining. A fully charged battery will last as follows: 5000 RPM – 240min, 5500 RPM – 225min, 6000 RPM – 210min, 6500 RPM – 195min, 7000 RPM – 180minIn addition, there is a simple but sturdy little brush for cleaning, a bottle of lite oil, and instruction booklet. On the flip side, where the Brio Beardscape has an advantage is its extra capacity lithium ion battery, which requires 3 hours of charge time for 4 hours of use. The trimmer can be used cordless or plugged in and will run plugged in even if the battery is empty. Final Thoughts While the marketing sounds good, there’s only one real way to know what this beard trimmer can do. I just received my Brio Beardscape in the mail and we’re diving in for my full, honest review. What’s inside? Most of the time, we guys don’t really pay too much attention to our grooming. Unless we want to look really presentable for an event, a date, or maybe a corporate affair, most men just let nature run its course. Moreover, for those of us growing a beard or perhaps suffering from excessive facial and body hair, it doesn’t take long before everything turns into a jungle. Good thing there are awesome options available like the Beardscape V2 from Brio! Charging the trimmer after it stops running takes approximately three hours, and that still gives plenty of time between charges, but the unit does seem to turn off before it hits 'zero' percent battery life. I haven't found the cut-off point, but the trimmer just stops running when you think there is still a little bit of charge left. Be prepared to plug it in if it stops mid way through a trim. I'm going to call it a 'design feature', as it's really not an issue. Heads-up, that's all.

You continue that cycle long enough and you find ourselves in what most guys assume is the only option: A place where all the beard trimmers on the Target shelf are light duty, plastic, glorified nose trimmers with beard guard attachments. Brio Bearscape V2 The power cable plugs into the bottom end of the unit, as seems to be standard. The trimmer, without comb attachments, is 17.8cm (7 inches) long. The battery lasts a long time and I hope that with good care it will stay this way. Lithium batteries are very different from standard Ni-Mh or the older Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries, they are very powerful and could even be dangerous if not cared for properly but with basic care they can have a long life and are perfectly safe. They don't like to be totally discharged or overcharged but they don't have a memory-effect so try to keep the Beardscape in a medium state of charge, it is ok to charge it completely and let it run out from time to time but try to keep it between 20-80% of charge, especially when storing it. Don't leave it charging on its stand or at least disconnect the stand so the battery is not kept at 100% charge all the time. This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items.It is equipped with a powerful motor that can easily handle anything you throw at it. Hair beware! Next is a 2,200 mAh lithium-ion battery which can last up to 240 minutes on a full charge. The UI does a great job of showing the approximate time left before it needs to juice up. The vibrant display shows the estimated battery life depending on the speed you set it to. The Brio Beardscape is the MacBook Pro of beard trimmers: It feels solid and is a pleasure to use because you can trust that it works as expected. The Beardscape can be used wirelessly with the integrated lithium battery or plugged to the wall with the power adapter and USB cable which plugs to the charging stand or directly to the trimmer.
