Babyliss T890E | My Review
Babyliss T890E is a great trimmer for stubble

Below I give my honest review of the Babyliss T890E beard trimmer. I say only my own opinions, my review is not sponsored (I have bought the trimmer with my own money).

I hope the information below will help you decide if this trimmer is a good option for you or not.

The set comes with minimal number of accessories

Babyliss T890E | Ergonomy

Babyliss T890E is rather compact

First time you take the Babyliss T890E into your hand you’ll notice it is really compact.

The handle is “thin” compared to e.g. Braun BT9440 or Philips BT5515.

I like this “feature”, but you have to be aware of it, especially if you have previously been using one of the bulkier models.

Babyliss T890E vs Braun BT Series 7

I like low vibrations and the noise level is “ok” for me.

Unfortunately the trimmer is not waterproof.

The texture on the back side of the trimmer further prevents the trimmer from slipping from your hand

Length Settings

Maximal setting at 12 mm

Babyliss T890E has got one adjustable guard with the maximal setting 12 mm.

This means it works best for stubble and short beard.

The 0,5 mm increments should be precise enought for most of users

The wheel dial works fine. You can hear and feel clicks when changing settings.

There‘s only one issue I have come across as for length settings.

The only issue with length settings: if you press too hard on the guard, it can change the set length.

When you set your preferred length and press on the guard harder, it will go down to the lowest setting.

I didn’t have this problem not once, because I do not press much on the guard  during trimming my beard.

I only say there is a possibility of this happening, only when you press on the trimmer hard. 

Babyliss T890E | The Blades

The blades in this beard trimmer are really sharp

The blades are really sharp. I love how easily I cut my hair... lovely.

Regular oiling is required.

Made of japanese steel, self-sharpening blades

In my opinion the cutting edge of the blade is not as well exposed (available) as in many other beard trimmers, but for the basic beard shaping and creating sharp lines it’s ok.

Accessories

Ireally like the hard case in Babyliss T890E. Well made, sturdy
The case will house the trimmer, guard and the power cord. You can travel with the a complete kit

Powering

What I appreciate in beard trimmers is the ability to work in a cordless as well as corded mode. You can be sure you'll never run of the power during styling your beard.

As for the powering the Babyliss T890E offers both cordless as well as corded use.

For me this is a huge advantage.

I can be sure that even if the trimmer starts to lose the power during use I can plug it in the power socket and I can finish trimming the beard.
