MANSCAPED Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra Review: Ultimate Grooming Tool For Modern Men

If you’re single and looking to mingle, you want to make sure that you are always looking your best when you leave the house, as you never know when you might run into a bombshell. That means being showered and smelling good, hair neatly combed, dressed to impressed (no cargo shorts), and making sure that you’re clean shaven or have your beard trimmed.

But that’s not all. You should also be manscaping regularly, as most women appreciate a nicely groomed man. Manscaping is the trimming or shaving of your body hair, including below the belt. I always trim my chest hair and pubes before a big date. Not only do I feel cleaner, but if I’m hoping for her to hawk tuah and spit on that thang later on, I want to make it as pleasant and enjoyable for her as possible.

Naturally, it’s a little nerve wracking bringing a sharp instrument near your crown jewels, and that’s why having the right tool at your disposal is crucial. Enter the MANSCAPED The Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra – a cutting-edge trimmer designed specifically for male body grooming. As someone who takes pride in personal grooming, I was eager to put this device to the test and see if it lived up to the hype. And let me tell you, it really exceeded my expectations!

When it comes to male grooming “down there”, MANSCAPED is the gold standard, trusted by more than nine million men worldwide for all their grooming needs. People have raved about The Lawn Mower since its inception. But not content to leave well enough alone, their expert team of product engineers continue to improve it with each iteration. Now they’ve released their greatest taintelogical achievement to date, The Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra.

Perhaps the most noteworthy feature of The Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra is its advanced dual-head system and SkinSafe blades. As you can see in the photos, the 5.0 has a detachable head that can be swapped between a traditional trimmer blade with six different length settings (to take a little off the top) and a foil shaver (for a smooth shave). While the previous Lawn Mower 4.0 is a great trimmer, it doesn’t have the foil shaver feature.

As far as I know, MANSCAPED are the only ones offering a two-in-one solution like this. And honestly, it’s a pretty ingenius. During the week, you can use the trimmer to keep those pubes nice and short. And when you want to go fully smooth, simply hold your skin taut, and gently glide the SkinSafe Foil Blade up and down. With every stroke, the bi-directional trimmer lifts and trims any long hairs left behind, while the foil brings the shave down to the skin.

MANSCAPED’s SkinSafe technology helps reduce the risk of nicks and cuts, a claim that held true during my testing. Ironically, just a few weeks earlier, I was doing some manscaping with my old trimmer before a date, and I nicked myself right where the shaft meets the balls. OMG did that hurt, I screamed like Ted in There’s Something About Mary! Needless to say, this is a super important feature to protect your crowned jewels.

Furthermore, since it’s waterproof, you can shave your sensitive bits in the shower if you like, which not only makes for a more comfortable shave, but it also makes cleanup nice and easy, no more pubes on the floor to deal with afterwards. Another standout feature is their dual temperature LED spotlight, which illuminates your grooming area for enhanced visibility. This proves especially useful when trimming hard-to-see areas or in low-light conditions.

The convenient multi-function button gives you access to both the spotlight and travel mode. Simply hold the button for three seconds to lock and store your trimmer, so you don’t have to worry about it accidently buzzing in your carry-on bag when you’re going through the TSA line. Another nice feature is a tri-level LED low battery indicator, so you know how much juice you have left, rather than an all or nothing battery indicator like other brands have.

Speaking of battery life, MANSCAPED’s Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra is powered by a 700mA Li-ion battery that holds a charge for up to 60 minutes. To charge your device, simply plug the USB-C charging cable into any USB-C port or lay the back of the trimmer on a compatible wireless Qi charging pad. There’s a ten-minute quick charge option if you’re in a hurry, while a full charge via USB-C takes approximately 90 minutes.

Unlike other body trimmers, the Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra has a powerful 7,700 RPM motor that delivers constant RPMs, even as the battery runs low. This prevents the blade from slowing down, which helps reduce the risk of pulling hairs. If you’ve ever dealt with that before, you know just how painful that can be, so kudos to MANSCAPED for thinking ahead like that.

While I’ve only focused on grooming “down below”, the Lawn Mower 5.0 is also perfected for your body. Made for nips, pits, backs, sacks, and cracks. As a particularly hairy dude, I trim a LOT of my body hair, and the Lawn Mower 5.0 was more than up to the task for me. It’s an all-in-one tool for all of your manscaping needs.

Priced at $99.99, The Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra is certainly at the higher end of the body trimmer market. While it isn’t the cheapest option around, it’s like they say, you get what you pay for. When you consider its performance, build quality, and various features, I feel that it’s a good value for those serious about their body grooming routine.

Pros:
– Powerful and efficient trimming
– Sleek, ergonomic design with LED spotlight
– Waterproof design for wet/dry use
– SkinSafe technology for reduced nicks and cuts
– Long battery life with rapid charging option
– Quiet operation

Cons:
– Higher price point compared to some competitors
– Guard attachments can be slightly fiddly

Final Verdict

After extensive use, I can confidently say that the MANSCAPED Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra lives up to the hype. It offers a premium grooming experience with its powerful motor, advanced dual-head system, and design features like the LED spotlight and waterproof construction.

So if you’re in the market for a high-performance body trimmer, The Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra is an excellent choice. It combines power, precision, and convenience in a sleek package, making it a valuable addition to any modern man’s grooming arsenal.
