Norelco Beard Trimmer & Hair Clipper Series 5500 BT5511/49, Cordless — 40 Lengths, 90‑Min Runtime

The Philips Norelco Series 5500 (BT5511/49) is a cordless all-in-one beard trimmer and hair clipper engineered for a fast, even one-pass trim with 40 length settings and up to 90 minutes of runtime.

Whether you maintain a clean stubble, a short beard, or need quick hair touch-ups, this groomer combines DualCut steel blades, a Lift and Trim PRO system, and fully washable construction to simplify regular upkeep. It’s built to reduce passes over the same area for a quicker routine and gives you a wide range of length control—from 0.4 mm up to 20 mm—so you can dial in precise looks without swapping tools.

How does the Series 5500 achieve a one-pass even trim?

The trimmer pairs sharp DualCut steel blades with the Lift and Trim PRO system to guide and lift low-lying hairs before cutting. This combination reduces tugging, catches more hairs per stroke, and keeps results consistent from different angles.

• DualCut steel blades sharpened to cut efficiently on contact
• Lift and Trim PRO pulls flat hairs up into the cutting path
• Engineered head geometry for coverage from multiple angles

What length options and attachments are included for styling?

The trimmer offers 40 adjustable length settings between 0.4 mm and 20 mm, plus three extra attachment guards to expand styling choices. A precise adjustment wheel lets you lock in intermediate lengths for stubble or longer beard shapes without guesswork.

• 0.4 mm minimum for near-skin stubble
• Incremental settings up to 20 mm for long beards or hair touch-ups
• Three additional guard attachments for specialized cutting needs

What is the battery life and charging functionality?

The built-in lithium-ion battery provides up to 90 minutes of cordless use after a one-hour charge. If you’re short on time, the trimmer can also be operated while connected to power so you won’t be interrupted during a grooming session.

• 90 minutes runtime from a one-hour charge
• Works while plugged in for continuous use
• Low-battery indicator helps plan charging

How easy is the Series 5500 to clean and maintain?

Cleaning is straightforward thanks to the fully washable design—just rinse the cutting head under water after use. The blades are engineered to remain sharp without blade oil, and detachable parts make routine maintenance fast.

• Fully washable cutting head for quick rinsing
• No blade oil required to maintain performance
• Detachable guards and head for easy access and drying
