The Monthly Spotlight
Every month, one product our team actually lives with. One person, one reason, one honest review.
Beurer MN5X
Skip the barber: six combs from 3 to 25 mm and a built-in guard for 0.6 to 2.4 mm.
A wide blade and six combs (3, 6, 10, 16, 19 and 25 mm), plus a sliding guard built into the clipper for 0.6 to 2.4 mm. Up to 4.5 hours on a charge, or plug it in and carry on. A battery display, a travel lock and a head that rinses under the tap. 3-year limited warranty.
“If you're tired of paying a barber every few weeks, the MN5X is worth a look. The blade is wide, so it gets through hair quickly, and the six combs take you from 3 mm all the way up to 25 mm. My favourite part is the sliding guard built right into the clipper.”
The story behind the pick
See the full product pageWho picked it
Michael was tired of paying a barber every few weeks. His favourite part is the sliding guard for stubble and clean edges, with no extra attachment.
Why this one
Ten cutting lengths in one clipper: six combs from 3 to 25 mm and a guard from 0.6 to 2.4 mm. Up to 4.5 hours on a charge, and it runs plugged in too.
Who it's for
For anyone who cuts their own hair or keeps a beard tidy between barber visits, and for the bag on a trip: the lock stops it switching on.

Past spotlights
Every pick since the spotlight began in April, who made it and why. Most are still available.
Beurer BR 60
Itchy bite? Just a few seconds of heat.
“I'm a snack… for mozzies, and this time of year I'm covered in bites. Enter my new secret weapon, the BR 60: no creams, no chemicals, just a satisfying zing and the itch is gone. I've bought this as a gift for my mom and she can't go without it now.”
Beurer TB 15
That dentist-clean feeling, at home.
“I work in the warehouse and packed so many of these for our customers already, but I only tried one myself last month. I should have done it sooner! My teeth feel smooth after, like coming back from the dentist. My gums are sensitive so I use the soft setting and it doesn't hurt at all. The timer is nice because it tells you when to move to the next side and stops you at two minutes. I only needed to charge it once since I got it. My husband has borrowed mine twice already so I think I need to order a second one.”
Beurer EM 55 Menstrual Relax+
Drug-free relief for period pain, worn under your clothes.
“I absolutely love that the EM 55 gives me a natural way to manage my menstrual cramps without always having to reach for pain medication. The soothing warmth combined with the TENS therapy really helps ease the pain, making such a difference during my cycle. It helps me stay comfortable & get on with my day without letting period pain hold me back.”
Beurer MG 89 massage gun
Compact, powerful relief designed to move with you.
“What I have learnt is that you have to look after yourself to keep that pace, and the Beurer MG 89 is how I do it. Ten focused minutes on my shoulders and back and I am loose again. It lives in my handbag, so it travels with me.”
Beurer EM 59 TENS/EMS device with heat
Director's pick. Trusted for pain relief, recovery and relaxation.
“As someone who's always on the go, the EM 59 has become my go-to. TENS, EMS and soothing heat in one pocket-sized device means drug-free pain relief whenever I need it. The heat function is a great added benefit and really makes this product shine.”
Beurer HC 100 salon hair dryer
Effortless salon styling at home.
“I took the HC 100 home to try and was immediately impressed. It's powerful, dries my long hair quickly and leaves a smooth, professional finish. It feels beautifully balanced in the hand and makes everyday styling effortless.”
Beurer HK 48 Cosy heated cushion
Gentle warmth for a stiff neck and an aching back.
“After a long day of work, kids and making supper, nothing beats sinking in my couch with this heated cushion. It melts away my stiff neck, helps my aching back, and even eases my headaches when they start creeping in. My only problem? Everyone else wants it too.”
How we choose
Nothing goes into the spotlight until someone on our team has used it at home. We're a small, family-run shop in Honeydew. The picks are ours, not a supplier's, and we say plainly who chose what and why.
