The best trimmers for men under Rs 1,500 in India now offer 90 minutes of runtime, USB-C charging and washable blades, features that cost more a few years ago. We shortlisted five models sold on Amazon India in November 2026 from Xiaomi, Bombay Shaving Company, Havells and Philips, and checked each spec against brand or retailer listings.
Whether you keep a short stubble for office or a fuller beard, the right pick depends on comb range, battery and how much you care about warranty. Here is how they compare.

Best trimmers for men under Rs 1,500: the list
1. Xiaomi Beard Trimmer 2C
Best for: men who change beard length often. Forty settings across two combs is the widest range on this list, and the 90-minute battery covers weeks of touch-ups.

- Up to 90 minutes runtime, about 2 hours to charge fully
- 40 length settings from 0.5 mm to 20 mm
- USB Type-C charging
- Detachable stainless steel blade, washable heads
Drawback: 1 year warranty, half of what Philips and Havells give.
2. Bombay Shaving Company Power Play NXT
Best for: first-time buyers and college students. It charges with a phone charger, lasts 90 minutes and the colour-coded combs make it hard to pick the wrong length.
- 90 minutes of runtime per charge
- 6 combs covering 1 mm to 12 mm
- Self-sharpening stainless steel blades that detach for washing
- Type-C charging, 2 year warranty
Drawback: only the blades are washable, not the body, and 12 mm is the longest comb, so it is not ideal for a long beard.
3. Havells BT5100C
Best for: men who want a trusted Indian brand with a wide service network. The comb lock holds the chosen length so it does not slip mid-trim.
- 45 minutes runtime
- Lengths up to 17 mm with a comb lock
- USB charging, cable included
- 2 year warranty, cleaning brush and oil in the box
Drawback: a full charge takes 8 hours, so plan to charge it overnight. MRP is Rs 1,595, though Havells’ own store listed it at Rs 999 when we checked.
4. Philips OneBlade QP2724/10
Best for: stubble and clean edges. OneBlade trims, edges and shaves, and you can use it wet or dry, even with gel in the shower.
- Up to 45 minutes runtime
- Three click-on stubble combs: 1 mm, 3 mm and 5 mm
- Wet and dry use
- 2 year warranty
Drawback: it is a stubble and shaving tool, not a full beard trimmer, and the blade needs replacing every few months at extra cost. It also sits at the top edge of this budget.
5. Philips BT1232/18
Best for: a basic, cheap trimmer for weekly maintenance or as a backup in a travel bag.
- 30 minutes runtime
- Click-on combs in 2 mm steps, 3 mm to 7 mm range
- Self-sharpening steel blades with rounded tips
- USB charging, 2 year warranty
Drawback: 30 minutes of use from an 8 hour charge is weak, and it is not meant for use in the shower.
How to choose a trimmer under Rs 1,500
- Beard style: stubble needs 0.5 to 5 mm. A full beard needs combs up to 15 or 20 mm.
- Battery: 60 to 90 minutes means you charge once or twice a month. Below 45 minutes, you will be charging every week.
- Charging port: Type-C lets you share your phone charger. Older USB-A cables are easy to misplace.
- Washability: a washable head is easier to clean, but few budget models are fully waterproof.
- Warranty and service: Philips, Havells and BSC offer 2 years. Check the nearest service centre before buying.

For most men, the Xiaomi Beard Trimmer 2C gives the best mix of runtime and length range at this price. If warranty matters more than settings, the Bombay Shaving Company Power Play NXT is the safer bet, and the OneBlade is the one to get if you only keep stubble.

Frequently asked questions
Which is the best trimmer for men under Rs 1,500?
The Xiaomi Beard Trimmer 2C is the best all-rounder, with 90 minutes of runtime and 40 length settings from 0.5 to 20 mm. It launched at Rs 1,199.
Is Philips OneBlade good for a full beard?
OneBlade is best for stubble, edging and shaving. Its standard combs go up to 5 mm, so a full beard trimmer suits longer styles better.
How long should a trimmer battery last?
At this budget, 60 to 90 minutes is good. That is usually enough for two to four weeks of regular trims on a single charge.
Can I wash these trimmers under water?
Several have washable blades or heads, such as the Xiaomi 2C and BSC Power Play NXT, but the bodies are not fully waterproof. OneBlade can be used wet.
