Every guy who has ever manscaped knows the drill. You lock the bathroom door, spend ten minutes trimming, and then spend another fifteen wiping tiny hairs off the sink, the floor, and somehow even the mirror. If you share a bathroom with your partner, good luck explaining that mess.
So when we heard that a Singapore-based men’s grooming brand had built a trimmer with a built-in vacuum system that catches hair as you trim, we were curious enough to test it ourselves. The product is called The Suckaa by Blubird, and the promise is simple: no mess, no embarrassment.
Here’s what we found after a few weeks of using it.
First Impressions: Sleek, Discreet Packaging
The first thing we noticed is that Blubird clearly understands its audience. The packaging is minimal and discreet — no giant pictures of shirtless men or cringeworthy slogans. It looks like a premium tech product, which is a nice touch if you’re ordering it to your office or a shared address.
Inside the box, you get the trimmer itself, a USB-C charging cable, a cleaning brush, and two guide combs. The trimmer comes in two colours: Silver and Black and it feels solid in hand. Build quality is noticeably better than what you’d expect at this price point. It does not feel like a cheap gadget that’ll fall apart after three uses.
The Vacuum Feature: Does It Actually Work?
This is the big question, and honestly, the main reason we wanted to review this trimmer. The Suckaa uses what Blubird calls a “Vacuum Trim System” that sucks up trimmed hair into an internal chamber as you go.
Does it catch every single strand? No. We’d estimate it captures around 80 to 85 percent of the hair, which is genuinely impressive. The difference is night and day compared to a regular trimmer. Instead of spending fifteen minutes cleaning your bathroom afterwards, you’re basically done with a quick wipe-down of the counter. The internal hair chamber is easy to open and empty, though you will need to do it mid-trim if you’re tackling a larger area.
For guys living in HDB flats with shared bathrooms, this alone makes it worth considering.
Using It Below the Belt
Let’s address the elephant in the room. This trimmer is designed primarily for intimate grooming, and that is where most guys will be using it.
The blade uses a precision-engineered nick-free design, and after several uses, we can confirm it lives up to the claim. No nicks, no cuts, no irritation. The rounded blade tips glide over skin without catching or pulling, even in the more sensitive areas. The motor is powerful but stays remarkably quiet, which is a welcome feature when you’re trimming at odd hours and would rather not announce it to the entire household.
It trims down to about 1mm, which gives a clean, tidy look without that uncomfortable stubble-growing-back-in feeling you get from a full shave.
Battery, Waterproofing & Day-to-Day Use
The Suckaa is IPX6 waterproof, which means you can rinse it under the tap for cleaning. We found it easiest to use dry for the vacuum function to work at its best, then rinse the head afterwards.
Battery life is solid. A full charge via USB-C gives you roughly 90 minutes of run time, which is more than enough for multiple sessions. We charged it once and used it three times before it needed a top-up.
It is also travel-friendly. The size is compact enough to toss in a pouch without taking up too much space, and it does not look suspicious going through airport security; something anyone who has travelled with grooming tools will appreciate.
What Could Be Better
No product is perfect, and we want to be upfront about a couple of things.
First, the vacuum chamber is on the smaller side. If you are doing a full body trim, you will need to stop and empty it once or twice. It is not a dealbreaker, but it does interrupt the flow slightly.
Second, at $119 SGD (currently on sale from $219), it is pricier than a basic trimmer from Shopee. But comparing it against other dedicated manscaping trimmers on the market especially those without the vacuum feature, the pricing is actually competitive. You’re paying for a specific solution to a specific problem, and in our experience, it delivers.
Third, it is currently only available online through their website. There is no option to see or test it in a physical store before buying, though they do offer a 15-day return policy which helps.
The Verdict
The Suckaa solves a real, everyday problem that most men’s grooming brands ignore: the cleanup. It is not the cheapest trimmer you can buy, but the vacuum system genuinely works and makes the entire grooming experience faster and less stressful. The nick-free blade, quiet motor, and waterproof design are solid bonuses on top.
Best for: Guys who want a dedicated, mess-free manscaping solution especially those sharing a bathroom.
Skip it if: You only need a basic beard trimmer and don’t mind the cleanup.
