Guards include a 3 to 7 mm adjustable guard, wide hair guards, wide fading guards, stubble guards and body guards. The blades are self-sharpening and need no oil. The trimmer can be used wet or dry and is washable under the tap. It has a rubber grip and a battery indicator that shows low, empty, charging and full. Power is a lithium-ion battery. Abt's listing gives a full charge as about 1 hour, with a 5-minute quick charge for a short trim. The box also holds a soft storage pouch and a cleaning brush. ### Key specs - Pieces: 18 - Intended use: Face, head and body, plus nose and ear - Blades: Self-sharpening, no oil needed - Hair trimmer width: 41 mm (1.6 in) extra-wide attachment - Adjustable guard: 3 to 7 mm - Battery: Lithium-ion, cordless - Full charge time: About 1 hour (5-minute quick charge) - Cleaning: Wet or dry use, washable under the tap - Warranty: 5-year limited parts and labor ## What owners report about the Philips Norelco MG5910/49 We found little owner feedback we could confirm for this exact model. The retailer pages we could open showed review totals but no review text, so we can't report a pattern of praise or complaints. Philips does say on its support pages that this kind of trimmer is for trimming only. It will not give the close shave of a foil shaver, so expect stubble to stay at the shortest guard length. ## Who the Philips Norelco MG5910/49 suits It fits someone who wants beard, head, body and nose and ear trimming from one kit, and who would rather not buy or apply blade oil. The washable blades and storage pouch suit a shared bathroom drawer or a travel bag. Look elsewhere if you want a very close shave, or if you want a single face-only tool with a dial for length: the Philips Norelco Beard Trimmer 9000 Prestige BT9810/40 is built that way. A man who wants more pieces from the same brand could look at the Philips Norelco All-in-One 7000 Series 23-Piece Trimmer MG7970/49. ## Questions about the Philips Norelco MG5910/49 ### Is the Philips Norelco MG5910 waterproof?

We haven't read the review sites for this guide yet, so for now it is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 23 models for this guide before settling on these ten. Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in November 2026.
