When it comes to trimming down there, MANSCAPED remains untouchable, even as opposed to some of the best grooming gadgets in the scene.
While the 5.0 has recently emerged into the scene with its ultra sleek and innovative carbon blade system, the Lawn Mower 4.0 still stands as a minor downgrade from the former, but a massive win from its predecessor, especially if you’re on a budget.
From perks that will help out travel geeks to a blade system that grooms without leaving behind a sore for you to heal from, the MANSCAPED Lawn Mower 4.0 truly is a timeless trimmer that hasn’t yet lost its hype.
But to learn all about what it’s like, you have to stick around on this guide of mine, containing a thorough review of The MANSCAPED Lawn Mower 4.0

Unboxing The Lawn Mower 4.0
MANSCAPED definitely set the bar high with the release of Lawn Mower 3.0, which found an even match after the release of Meridian’s original body trimmer, resulting in an unforgettable rivalry.
However, right off the bat, the Lawn Mower 4.0 creates a big difference in its packaging, containing familiar faces, along with fresh entries.
Alongside the elegant pubic hair trimmer of Lawn Mower 4.0 is a brand new, wireless charging station, a fresh type-C cable, and a power adapter. It also provides a pair of comb attachments, having the edge over its predecessor from the get go.
In hindsight, I feel that the Lawn Mower 4.0 established the perfect balance between superficial and functional, with a futuristic trimmer that carries equally compelling attachments and assistants.

A First Glimpse Of The Lawn Mower 4.0
After a year-long hiatus, MANSCAPED finally released the 4.0, the supposed upgrade of the Lawn Mower 3.0, with better facilities, and an innovative design.
While the second half of this guide dives deep into the former, placed below is all that I have to say regarding the exterior of the Lawn Mower 4.0
Tapered Build
Leaving behind the soft rubberized silhouette for a much more sturdy and tapered design is the first thing you’ll notice in the Lawn Mower 4.0, which is not as supportive for grip control for my sweaty palms, but definitely feels like a tighter fit.
The Lawn Mower 4.0 also features a blend between plastic and matte-based flooring, which somehow aligns with the dimensions of the trimmer.
Innovative Design
Though MANSCAPED outdid itself with the release of the Lawn Mower 5.0, even the Lawn Mower 4.0 and its architecture blends in rather naturally with today’s modernized trimmers.
It adopts from most minimalist butt trimmers for the button configuration, carrying just a power button, flashlight along with a vertical bar that monitors the power and acts as the medium of communication for the travel lock feature.
Overall, I quite like the craftsmanship of the Lawn Mower 4.0, as it feels like the perfect blend of its successor and predecessor.
Robust Housing
Let’s be real. Not one ball trimmer can survive accidental falls. Additionally, overtime, breaking the trimmer might become unavoidable, even if it’s unintentionally done.
While the Lawn Mower 4.0 won’t survive a 1-story fall without needing medical attention, it is relatively bulky, thus resilient to accidental slip-ups. Therefore, some unintentional drops can definitely be withstood by the Lawn Mower 4.0.
What I like
- Sleek and modernized design with tapered build
- Matte-based texture ensures a solid grip
- Heavier housing with a robust build
- Easy to understand button configuration
What I dislike
- None that I can think of
Special Features: The Selling Points Of Lawn Mower 4.0
From head to toe, the Lawn Mower 4.0 seems handmade for any kind of body grooming issues, whether it’s for the privates, or for your overgrown forearms.
However, for a better understanding, let’s take a closer look into the special features of the Lawn Mower 4.0, from its blade system to its long-lasting Li-Ion battery!
Protective Blade System
Pubic hair removal can be a chore and a half if you’re new to it. Even when you’re not, the thought of making mistakes can be a scary thought to grasp.
Luckily, the Lawn Mower 4.0 has a ceramic blade system, which is made with rounded edges to promote safer outcomes with sharp results.
On top of that, the Lawn Mower 4.0 is groomed with SkinSafe technology, a novelty within the Lawn Mower franchise that uses anti-nick properties to erase the possibilities of cuts, and post-trim repercussions such as bumps and redness.
The fusion of SkinSafe technology and the roundness of the ceramic blades generate zero-gapping results when trimming your groin; an element that I elaborate later on in the article.
Powerful Motor
Tugging and a loss of power are two common issues that most groin trimmers suffer from even to this day. And while it implies a failing system, the blame also lies in the robustness of the motor.
The Lawn Mower 4.0 happens to be in the 1 percent of trimmers that abstain from the former, however, thanks to its super agile and fast motor.
While it reprises the same level of quickness as the Lawn Mower 3.0, the Lawn Mower 4.0 generates an RPM of 7000, catching strays, flyaways, even coarse pieces of pubic hair patterns without breaking a sweat.
Lightweight Housing
As stated earlier, MANSCAPED Lawn Mower 4.0 was not just meant to serve with its trimming abilities, but also to last in the long run, which explains the massive weight difference it has as opposed to the previous releases from MANSCAPED.
Nonetheless, the Lawn Mower 4.0 is still relatively weightless, weighing in at 8 ounces overall to ensure comfort while also defying resilience with its build.
Certified Waterproof
While many recommend dry trimming on every area apart from the face, I’d say that the Lawn Mower 4.0 is equally compelling when chopping through slightly damp body hair.
Furthermore, if you kind of prefer grooming while in the shower, the Lawn Mower 4.0 will easily fit with your needs, as the housing isn’t just dependable to hold onto, but also housed with IPX7 materials to withstand some splashes of water when in use.
Exceptional Battery Life
Facial hair trimming can be carried out in a matter of minutes if you know how to properly capture all the angles of beard trimming.
However, body grooming, especially around the privates, tends to take time, precision, and a relatively careful approach.
Luckily, if you charge the Lawn Mower 4.0 until it reaches a full battery life, the trimmer will last you an aggregate time of 90 minutes, which I think is more than enough for users with high melanin levels as well!
Complementary Accessories
If you don’t just want balding results, but also need some options that will improve the aesthetic of your physique with the help of some hair growth, using comb attachments might not sound like a bad idea, especially over scissor work; the only alternative solution.
While not as polished as the Multigroom models of Philips, the MANSCAPED Lawn Mower 4.0 does provide some variety with 2 comb guides, covering sizes between 3 mm and 12 mm.
Additional Type-C Charging Station
A long-term complaint of mine against body trimmers is how they’re always so persistent in using standard charging ports, as it further delays the recharging period of the device.
It appears that the Lawn Mower 4.0 can resonate with my former remarks, as it carries a type-C charging port, and a powerhouse of a charging station, which was a fresh feature in the grooming scene upon its release.
This not only deducts the charging time by nearly half of the usual time, but it also offers more compatibility, making the Lawn Mower 4.0 a great fit for mobile chargers.
Energy-Preserving Travel-lock Feature
By a mile, an underrated feature of the Lawn Mower 4.0 is the travel lock, which protects the device from harm for an unprecedented amount of time by just a push of a button. It does so by disabling the power button, with
While the Lawn Mower 5.0 made a separate compartment for enabling the feature, the Lawn Mower 4.0 follows the traditional approach, which involves holding the power button for 5 seconds.
Minimal LED Light
Things can get dark pretty fast when you’re trimming your body, even more so in the hard to reach areas.
And if nobody looks for you when there’s no light, you can always expect the MANSCAPED Lawn Mower 4.0 to break the deadlock with its LED flash light.
Placed underneath the blade system, the Lawn Mower 4.0 offers a much brighter flashlight than the Lawn Mower 3.0, guaranteeing efficiency even in enclosed areas.
What I like
- Ceramic blade has rounded edges to promote safety on sensitive skin
- Weighs 8 ounces, with the perfect dimensions
- Lasts a generous time of 90 minutes
- LED light can be used for secluded areas
What I dislike
- Reprises the same motor as the 3.0
Performance Review Of MANSCAPED Lawn Mower 4.0: Unveiling The Test Results
I always believe in the phrase, “Never judge a book by its cover.” when it comes to judging grooming tools, especially body grooming trimmers.
That said, the amenities and features of the Lawn Mower 4.0 are no short of incredible. However, I can’t help but ask how well it holds up when put to the test. And if you’re on the same page as me, allow the following performance review to answer your innermost questions.
Trimming Efficiency
While I always believed in the Lawn Mower 4.0 and its blade system to guarantee safety, I must say that the trimmer exceeded my expectations when put to the test, generating hairless results in no time.
When body trimming, while I did have to help the trimmer capture the right angles, the Lawn Mower 4.0 brought forward hairless results in no time. Even the strands around the curves of my abdomen without much of a hassle.
Trimming around sensitive areas such as the armpit was a breeze, while cleaning up my groin was scary, but very well received by the Lawn Mower 4.0. Nonetheless, the motor gave me the results that I was craving, that too in a short amount of time.
Perhaps trimming my legs felt the best, since hairless results appeared after one swipe! The rounded edges really pulled out even the ingrown hair strands that I had!
Navigational Perks
Light doesn’t always mean good for a trimmer, as even the weakest individual can navigate a subpar trimmer with some practice.
However, I must say that the design really helps with improving the navigational facilities provided by the Lawn Mower 4.0, which is already outstanding by default.
Moving upwards and downwards is a walk in the park, as is trimming in a 90-degree angle.
The best part? None of the movements wore out my wrist or forearms!
Quality Of Accessories
I’ve already explained how the attachments provided by the Lawn Mower 4.0 are limited to specific sizes, offering 4 different kinds of results if you don’t want to use the naked trimmer blade.
That said, the quality of the attachments are truly phenomenal. They don’t just guarantee accuracy, but also fit perfectly with the ceramic blade and its dimensions, avoiding repercussions like over trimming.
Upkeep & Maintenance
Thanks to the Lawn Mower 4.0 being waterproof, the pubic hair trimmer is a breeze to clean.
While you may brush out the hair from the base of the blade system just for some additional relief, you can also leave it in the hands of a water rinse, which is a doable scenario for the Lawn Mower 4.0.
After 90 minutes of use, it’s also pretty comforting to know that the charging station enables fast charging, which pumps up the flow of the recharging period, offering a full battery life in just 5 hours.
For the former, I believe that the type-C charging port also deserves some credit.
What I like
- Ceramic blade and motor can cut through any kind of hair density
- Charging stand enables fast charging, reaches 100 percent in 5 hours
- Type-C port is compatible with other adaptors
- Is waterproof, being ideal for thorough rinses
- Attachments are true to size
What I dislike
- Battery life isn’t any better in contrast to the previous collections
Why Trust My Verdict?
Transparency is something I always ensure in my guides, since it only aids in making every experience memorable.
Likewise, before I created the groundwork of this review based on MANSCAPED Lawn Mower 4.0, I invested in the device.
Thus began an adventure, where my bond was inseparable with the Lawn Mower 4.0 for a whole month. In other words, before putting it down on paper, I used the Lawn Mower 4.0 on my body, especially the privates, for a whole month.
Lawn Mower 4.0 vs 3.0: Should You Upgrade To The New Model?
In all honesty, if you’re hoping to change the gravity of your appearance with the Lawn Mower 4.0 with a pre-existing 3.0 at your disposal, perhaps you should stick to the former, since the blade system along with the technology adopted by the successor remains the same as the former.
However, that doesn’t mean the Lawn Mower 4.0 is a waste of time, since its investment comes with tons of perks that the Lawn Mower 3.0 couldn’t have even imagined during its release.
Sure, the sleek, futuristic design of the 4.0 is a hit or miss as opposed to the soft rubberized flooring of the Lawn Mower 3.0, the latter of which feels more assuring in my sweaty palms. But, the newer Lawn Mower 4.0 has a travel lock button which only blooms when you’re moving from coast to coast, with a flashlight much brighter to avoid unwanted injuries when shaving the privates.
Another quality that is a repeat lies in their endurance and power, with the Lawn Mower 4.0 carrying the same kind of 90-minute scope and a superior 7000 RPM motor that the predecessor offers. However, even if you do give yourself a green signal, you’ll know what it’s like to use a wireless charging station that saves rejuvenation time.
Minor changes in the battery status indicator have also been made on the Lawn Mower 4.0, which aligns its innovative design with a vertical bar, as opposed to a 3-bar LED. On the contrary, a huge progress is found in the 4.0 as opposed to the 3.0 when it comes to versatility, thanks to the four additional length sizes it mirrors when in use.
Bottom Line
It is true that the Lawn Mower 4.0 mostly takes a superficial route to run laps over the Lawn Mower 3.0. However, some of the upgrades made to the Lawn Mower 4.0 are also pretty functional, therefore desirable in my eyes.
While I can go on and on about how much I like its travel lock feature, I will also say that the Lawn Mower 4.0 is more diverse than the Lawn Mower 3.0 with an added attachment.
What really seals the deal though is the C-type charging port and stand, which can accommodate a quick session in just 5 minutes, while being compatible with my mobile charger.
Frequently Asked Question
Now that you’re aware of all that the Lawn Mower 4.0 does to stay timeless in the world of body-grooming and groin trimming, here are some questions that address some of the concerns regarding the Lawn Mower model.
How long does the trimmer blade of the Lawn Mower 4.0 last?
On average, even after regular use, Lawn Mower 4.0 and its ceramic trimmer blade survives for 3 to 6 months. However, results may vary based on the frequency of trimming sessions involved.
Nonetheless, it’s best to sharpen your blades to increase the shelf life, as well as maintain blade dryness after use.
Should I upgrade to the Lawn Mower 4.0 if I have a 3.0 already?
Despite having common ground with the predecessor, it can be a good idea to purchase the Lawn Mower 4.0, even more so if you have a 3.0 at home.
While not faster, the Lawn Mower 4.0 is definitely more functional in and out of the bathroom, with a brighter flashlight and a travel lock that makes the trimming experience significantly better.
How do I activate the travel lock of Lawn Mower 4.0?
To enable the travel lock feature, a trait that prevents accidental powerups, hold the power button for 5 seconds straight. Once turned on, the trimmer will vibrate in the form of a cue.
Final Takeaway
In retrospect, despite reprising some old features from the previous Lawn Mower models, the Lawn Mower 4.0 is a great purchase for your body and private trimming demands from top to bottom.
For skin protection, it executes the protective abilities of SkinSafe technology and its ceramic blade, which I’d say are pros in avoiding injuries.
Even if you’re a beginner, the Lawn Mower 4.0 can be a good investment to make, with a lean build that won’t exactly require tons of effort to hold onto.
Adding to that would be the minimal aesthetic of the pubic and body trimming specialist, which contains fool-proof modifications such as a multipurpose power button, and a flashlight; a feat I approve of. But if all else fails, see if the market value will change your mind!
