This is the second generation of the Ballber from its little brother, the original The Ballber Electric Trimmer.

Specs On The Ballber Pro
Measurements
The Ballber Pro measures 6 1/4 inches long, and the blade width is around 1 1/2″ inches wide.
Battery
This Lithium-Ion battery has 120 minutes of run time when fully charged. A digital display also shows you how many minutes you have.
Motor
The motor is a very fast one, as it runs at 7,500 rpm. Typically, you see other brands running at or around 6,000 or 6,500 rpm.
Performance – How Well Does It Work? Worth Getting?
This works well for trimming hair. The powerful motor (7500 rpm) trims hair easily for breakfast. But on top of that, it is still relatively pretty low noise. This speaks to the quality build and construction of this trimmer.
The handle is also very comfortable and wieldy. I love the versatility of having the option of trimming hair either by pulling or pushing. This is a great feature. I like knowing how much time I have left on the batter in minutes, as the LCD screen shows you clearly.
The 4000k LED light also comes in handy when trimming hair, as it can illuminate stray longer hairs that you have missed.
What I Didn’t Like
I was not too fond of the beard guide comb that is included at all. I wouldn’t say I liked it right away when I struggled to put it on and was worried I would break it, as it is plastic. But the result kept going downhill from there with the beard guide comb, as it was a real struggle to understand how it works. I found it only really worked when pushing the trimmer. This also made it a problem to get consistent results, as I was left with spots of uneven hair lengths. I hate the beard comb! I would leave it in the box or just throw it away.
Does It Nick/Cut You Down There?
I experienced zero nicks when using this down on my junk. Whew…right? A very important feature of a ball trimmer is that they don’t do this.
It was effortless as some ball trimmers. I have to be conscious of proper technique when trimming hair on the weirdness of the old ball sack. But that is not the case here; it just trimmed hair with no nicks or cuts without much thought to technique.
Oh, I should mention I didn’t use the 1mm guide comb when trimming my pubes, just the trimmer itself (barebones, as they say). This took the hair down to a level where you don’t even notice it even though you are trimming hair instead of shaving. But using the 1mm guide comb is also a great way to truly prevent nicks and bloody nuts, just an FYI.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Multipurpose grooming tool that can be used on various parts of the body. (balls, body, and beard) So basically, this isn’t a one-trick pony, and that’s a good thing.
- It has a very comfortable handle that feels great in the hand. Very wieldy.
- Great at destroying hair. It cuts like the proverbial hot knife through butter.
- Two cutting heads. This allows you to trim hair by pulling (if you wish) or pushing. This gives you a lot of leeway and versatility when trimming hair and is very user-friendly.
- Waterproof. This is rated IPX7 waterproof and is safe to use in the shower or rinse under the sink.
- Powerful motor! This motor runs at an impressive 7,500 rpm.
- Great battery. It uses a Lithium-Ion battery and gives you a full 120 minutes when fully charged.
- They donate a portion of the proceeds to prostate cancer prevention and research.
- Comes nicely packaged inside a box. The box can also be used as a storage container to keep all the parts together and keep them from getting lost.
- Replacement blades are available for purchase if you have damaged them or if they become dull.
- The battery is fully charged when you receive it. The travel lock is on, so you have to hold down the power button for 3 seconds.
- Replacing the blade is simple and easily done.
- A 4000k LED Spotlight is turned on to help illuminate any area you are looking to trim hair.
- Very quiet motor. This is a speedy motor and it is quite quiet for how powerful it is.
- Convenient wireless charging.
- It was never clogged with hair, no matter how dense the hair was.
- A small trimming head allows you to trim hair where other bigger trimmers will not go.
- I like the 1mm guide comb.
- 90-day warranty.
Cons
- Any trimmer that uses a microblade in the trimming head can become easily damaged. Things like dropping it, banging it around, or tapping it on the sink to dislodge hair. It should last a while as long as you take care of it.
- I don’t care much for the pivoting head feature, as it takes a considerable amount of pressure to get it to engage. I found no benefit from this.
- I wouldn’t say I liked the beard guard attachment. It was hard to get a good, consistent result. Maybe I am dense (IDK), but it only really worked when I pushed it. It also gave inconsistent results even though I went over an area multiple times. I didn’t like this at all.
- It was also kind of hard to get the beard guard guide comb to attach properly. As I was worried it was going to break. It didn’t, but I was worried I was doing it wrong.
Tips & Questions
How Does This Compare To The Original Ballber?
Overall, this is better than the original Ballber. It has a more powerful motor with slightly less battery run time; this is to be expected, though. I love the handle better on the Pro. But with the Original Ballber, you get four guide combs, and with the Pro, you get two. As for the beard guide comb, I hated using it.
Both are quality devices, but the Pro is a step up from the original ballber.

The Final Shave On Happy Nuts The Ballber Pro Trimmer Review
I like this ball trimmer as a trimmer. It protects you and does a fantastic job of trimming hair without you. I think they have improved this over the previous version in most aspects. This is an excellent ball trimmer, and I highly recommend getting this as it works great—one of the best I have used and reviewed.
As a body hair trimmer, this also works fantastically too.
As a strict beard trimmer, I would pass on this if you want a trimming tool to do multiple jobs. Where it falls short in this aspect is the beard guide comb. I wouldn’t say I like how it works and didn’t get results using it.
If you want a ball trimmer & body hair trimmer, this is a real winner, and you would be hard-pressed to find a better trimmer. If you are looking for a beard trimmer, pass on this.
I highly recommend this as a ball trimmer. Works Great!
