Hair debris during grooming is a serious hygiene issue that traditional trimmers often overlooked. This study discusses both design and development of an affordable smart trimmer including compact vacuum system for real time hair collection. We pursued a structured design process involving market research, Quality Function Deployment (QFD), concept screening, modeling using AutoCAD & Rhino. A functional prototype was fabricated using a DC motor-driven suction chamber, a rechargeable power unit, LED lights, and an ergonomic design.

Experimental tests were conducted to measure the noise level and battery runtime. A small user survey assessed into comfort and usability. Results indicate that the prototype has an operational noise of approximately 120 dB and a continuous runtime of 35 minutes, demonstrating competitive performance compared with an entry-level commercial vacuum trimmer. User feedback pointed out improved cleanliness and visibility during grooming. The findings indicate that a reasonably priced vacuum-enabling trimmer is also possible for low-cost markets and offers significant user experience advantages. Further development will focus on improving the motor, refining airflow, and substantial user testing to get the prototype towards commercial-level performance.
